Rotary switches
Number Description
1
Rotary switches identifying expander as 38.
For a system with automatic addressing, expanders and keypads belong to the same numbering
sequence. For example, expanders and keypads are automatically numbered 01, 02, 03, etc., by the
controller in the order in which they are detected, for example, its relevant location to controller. In this
configuration, zones are allocated to each input expander.

To refresh the X-Bus status:
