8. Programming the RCD-1
By giving an identical address between 1 and 24 to the detector and
the accessory display device (or devices) you assign the devices to each
other. This enables the connection of several detectors and display
devices to one common databus line (and to minimize the cabling) and
the changing of the assignments any time.
The desired detector´s address has to be input at the accessory display
device. In order to assign the address properly make sure that during
the programming process only the detector to be programmed and the
accessory display device are connected by the lines A-A and B-B. You
achieve this by:
§
disconnecting the detector from the databus line (in connection
with other detectors) during the programming process and making
a temporary connection directly from the detector to the accessory
display device or
§
disconnecting all other detectors from the power supply during the
programming process.
To programm the RCD-1´s address follow these steps:
§
Disconnect the RCD-1 to be programmed from the power supply. In
case there are other detectors connected to the same databus line
you have to disconnect these from the power supply as well.
§
Program the address of the accessory display device as described in
the display device´s manual.
§
Bridge the two pins of the RCD-1´s programming connector JP1,
e.g. by putting on the jumper included in the package. Restore the
connection from the detector to the power supply. The LED on the
RCD-1 flashes. Be sure that the other detectors connected to the
same databus line are not connected to the power supply yet.
§
Program the RCD-1´s address at the accessory display device as
described in the display device´s manual. The RCD-1 indicates
receiving the address by quickly flashing the LED.
