Programming Procedure
If programming an OCU, ensure that the batteries are installed.
If programming an MCU, ensure that power is on (power LED is ON) and note that power can be
supplied from the programming box so separate power is not needed.
Identity Codes
The Identity (ID) Code is a six-digit alphanumeric code (e.g., 2E005B) that contains the operating
frequency and address of the unit. These are hexadecimal numbers that range from 0 to 9 and
A through F.
The first two characters in the six-digit code designate one of the 81 operating frequencies.
•
Each system in a facility should be assigned a different frequency. Figure 6 lists the
frequency for each code.
The last four characters in the six-digit code are the address code.
•
Each system in a plant must have a separate ID Code.
Rules for Assigning ID Codes
•
It is important to control the assignment of the unit ID Codes, Cattron accepts no
responsibility for any consequences that result of failure to do so.
o
If frequencies are duplicated it can result in systems shutting down or
operating erratically.
o
If an address is duplicated it could result in an adjacent system being
unintentionally controlled and result in any possible safety
consequence, including damage to machinery, injury and death.
