SETUP & PROGRAMMING
Programming
The Master panel will need to be programmed for the number of network panels on the system. See panel
wide programming settings, code 2-1-2-3, option 10, (Set Number of Network Slave Panels on System).
Addressing
Each panel needs to have a unique address. The addressing is done using the 4 DIL switches on each of
the Comms PCBs using binary code values, see diagram below.
The addresses should be set in sequence from 1 - 8, first slave panel = address 01, second slave panel =
address 02 etc.
The Master panel is defined by being address 00 (all switches off).
Network slave panels and/or repeater panels are designed to be wired in a fault tolerant (fail safe) loop
configuration, from comms A to B and back to the Master panel again (see drawing below). This enables
the network to still function if there is a break in the cables.
If replacing an older system where the existing cabling cannot be configured in a loop as above, it is
possible to change the panel settings to legacy, radial circuit comms monitoring.
See panel wide programming settings, code 2-1-2-3, option 6, (Change Network/Repeater Comms
Monitoring Type).
