DIP switch

Each addressable TrueAlert ES notification appliance has a unique address that is set using an eight position DIP switch (ADDR1). 
Assign up to 63 unique addresses to an SLC, however, the total appliance loading available may be less due to appliance current 
requirements.
To set the address, complete the following steps:
1. Insert a number 1 or number 2 Phillips screwdriver, or a similar sized object, into the opening at the bottom of the appliance and 

unclip the appliance from the backplate. See 

Figure 3

.

2. Set the switches using a non-metallic stylus, or the equivalent.
3. Record the set address.
