10.0 MODULE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Configuration of the
Flex 4
and
Flex 8
Control Panels is easily accomplished by DIP Switch and Jumper Settings.
For DIP Switches, 0 = switch “off”, 1 = Switch “on’).

Notes:
&
AFTER ANY CONFIGURATION SWITCHES ARE CHANGED, IT IS NECESSARY TO PERFORM A SYSTEM RESET !!
&
Only Indicating Circuit 2 may be configured for Visual Devices.
&
If Initiating Circuit 3 is configured as Waterflow, the corresponding Verified selection becomes a Retard
selection.
Note: Do not use Retard Operation with any external Retarding device; maximum Retard may not exceed 120
seconds.
&
If Initiating Circuit 4 is configured as Alarm, the corresponding Latching selection has no effect.
&
If Initiating Circuit 4 is configured as Supervisory, the corresponding Verified selection has no effect.
&
The selection of Class A/B (Style Z/Y) Indicating Circuits is only a matter of how they are wired. No Programming
is necessary See Connection Information (
Figures 9 & 10
).
&
If Class A (Style D) Initiating Circuits are selected, the appropriate Board Jumpers must also be set.
Class B Initiating Circuits 1 & 2 combine to create Class A Circuit #1, and Class B Initiating Circuits 3 & 4
combine to create Class A Circuit #2.
In Class A operation, the DIP Switches for Circuits 3 & 4 are ignored except for an
Flex 4
with a
CEM
Circuit
Expander Module. LED Indicators for Circuits 3 & 4 are non-functional except for an
Flex 4
with a
CEM
Circuit
Expander Module.
