Both Modbus and CANbus require that this panel has a communication address and this can be
set using this menu. UP and DOWN change the displayed address which is common to both
CAN1 bus and CAN2 bus. Pressing SELECT changes the display to view of all CANbus devices
currently connected to this panel. The purpose of this is to find an address which has a repeater
panel and then to decide if this panel should be connected to it. The address is displayed
together with the type of device seen. A ? is displayed if nothing is present at the displayed
address. The letter P would appear if another panel was seen. The letter R would appear for a
repeater and The Y/N letter states whether this panel is currently connected to it, ENTER toggles
this connection. Once connected the buttons, LEDs and LCD on the main panel and the repeater
match in operation and display. The letter S would appear if a relay / sounder device is found.
Pressing SELECT will exit this menu.
