6.4 SETTING THE DEVICE ADDRESS (DETECTORS, CALL POINTS, SOUNDERS
& INTERFACE UNITS)
Note that the devices do not need to be addressed sequentially along the loop. Technically they can be addressed in
any sequence. But addressing them sequentially will help in fault finding, should there be a problem with the loop
wiring.
6.4.1 SOFT and HARD PROGRAMMING/ADDRESSING
The MKII Handheld Programmer is designed to complement all MKII devices and to assist the commissioning engineer on site. The
unit will softly address all devices without using the incorporated dip-switch on the field devices.
Smoke and heat detectors can be tested when plugged on the programmer and alarm LED’s can be verified prior to installation.
The MKII Programmer can also re-program the OPT-HEAT detectors to either heat or smoke detector.
6.4.2 DIP SWITCH ADDRESSING
Some Devices are addressed with a dip switch
1
7
6
5
4
3
2
8
ON
The Address setting is binary, with the ON position being binary
0, and the OFF position being binary 1
If you are not familiar with binary, check the table on the
following page, or use the following rule:
Switch 8 ON = Add 128
Switch 7 ON = Add 64
Switch 6 ON = Add 32
Switch 5 ON = Add 16
Switch 4 ON = Add 8
Switch 3 ON = Add 4
Switch 2 ON = Add 2
Switch 1 ON = Add 1
The example shown would be:
switches 6, 4 & 1 = 32 + 8 + 1 = Address 41
