(1) Put the QJ71AS92 in the configuration mode by reference to Section 4.5.1 (1).
(2) The QJ71AS92 displays all the slave addresses of the recognised slaves in
order on the CODE LED. "0" is displayed if the slave of slave address 0 is
connected. If the recognised slave is the Ver. 2.11-compatible grouped slave,
the QJ71AS92 lights up the "A"/"B" LED on the right of the CODE LED to
indicate that the slave is in group A or B.

(3) Press the SET switch to display the usable slave addresses. The usable slave
address is displayed in order every time the SET switch is pressed.
For the Ver. 2.11-compatible grouped slaves, the QJ71AS92 lights up the "A"
LED on the right of the CODE LED and displays the slaves in group A. After
that, the slave addresses of group B appear consecutively.
If the SET or MODE switch is not operated for longer than 10 seconds, the
QJ71AS92 returns to the display status in (1).

TIP
When changing the slave address of the slave by using the switches on the front of
the panel, the QJ71AS92 assigns the target slave address after assigning the slave
address 0 to the slave once.
See Section 4.5.3 for the method to set the slave address to 0.
