Station Numbering
The controller is configured with “fixed station num-
bering”, meaning that Bays Two, Three and Four can
accept either a 3 or a 6-Station Module. If a 6-Station
Module is NOT installed then the unused stations are
reserved for future use.
Example of Station Numbering when using two
3-Station Modules. A total of 10 stations are installed.
Bay One
Bay Two
Bay Three
Bay Four
• The
Base Module
is installed in
Bay One
and uses
Stations 1 through 4.
• A
3-Station Module
is installed in
Bay Two
and
uses stations 5 through 7. Stations 8 through 10 are
skipped and will be unavailable.
• A
3-Station Module
is installed in
Bay Three
and
uses stations 11 through 13.
During programming, the controller will skip any
unused stations, creating a gap in station numbering.
The unused stations will show on the display as
8SKIP
,
9SKIP
, etc.
If the screen displays
20NOMOD
where the 20 is flash-
ing, then there is no module installed for that station
number.
