From time to time it may be necessary to replace an MX loop device
with a new one. When supplied, new
MX devices are factory set to
address 255. This section describes two methods to install and
automatically re-address replacement
MX devices.
From the base display press MENU three times, then press
AUTOADD

F4 to show two choices:

OneAtTme

F1
– “One at a Time” – allows one device to be
replaced at a time by removing that device, fitting the appropriate
replacement, then re-addressing the replacement from the
MX1 front
panel.

Multiple

F2
– allows multiple devices to be disabled from the
front panel, then each device to be replaced (one at a time) and for
the replacement to be automatically re-addressed w
hen it is fitted.
This al lows multiple devices to be replaced in one trip away from the
MX1 .
This method can be used when
- a single addressable device is to be replaced, and the replacement
device is of the same type, and
- the replacement device
is unaddressed (i.e., set to the factory default
address of 255).
Remove the device to be replaced (note that this may create a device fail
fault) and fit the replacement unit. Press
OneAtTme

F1 at the AutoAdd
menu. This will result in one of the following displays
– Figures 8-14 – 8-
18.
Figure 8-14 shows the device that has been removed and that the
replacement device has been recognised and is ready to be
programmed. Press F4 to program the replacement device with the
missing device’s address. Once done, the device-fail fault on the point
should clear, and affected zones can be reset to clear their faults.
Repeat the process for additional devices needing replacement.

If the Auto-Addressing function does not find all of the required conditions
met, one of the following displays (Fig 8-15, 8-16, 8-17 or 8-18) will be
shown to indicate the cause.
