Section 3: ACS Mode Configuration
The primary application for the LCD2-80 in ACS Mode is to display
messages with text that is a subset of the panel message text, or custom
messages programmed using VeriFire
®
Tools.
The power-limited EIA-485 interface provided by the control panels will
support the installation of devices at up to 32 addresses. Devices other
than the LCD2-80 that can be installed at one of the 32 addresses include
the ACS, LDM, and SCS modules.
The LCD2-80 can be mounted in ABF-1B, ABS-1TB, or ABS-1B
backbox (not the ABS-1) or can mount on one slot of the CHS-4 chassis.
The ABF-1B may include an AKS-1B keyswitch and APJ-1B phone jack.
