The Configuration DIP switch (SW3) is 8-way and has the following options:
Switch 1
Commissioning Mode
*(Dynamic)
Set to On (1) for Commissioning Mode
Off (0) for Operation Mode
Default is On (1)
Refer to 5.8 volume controls for detail on commissioning mode
Switch 2 & 3

is Off (0).
The Address DIP switch (SW4) is 4-way and has the following options:
Switch 1,2 & 3
Communication Address
*(Start Up)
Local Amplifier Address (valid range is 0 to 7);
Set to a unique valid address for each EWCIE
connected to the Local Bus (CAN).
Option 1,2,3
0. (0 0 0) Emergency Zone 1
1. (0 0 1) Emergency Zone 2
2. (0 1 0) Emergency Zone 3
3. (0 1 1) Emergency Zone 4
4. (1 0 0) Emergency Zone 5
5. (1 0 1) Emergency Zone 6
6. (1 1 0) Emergency Zone 7
7. (1 1 1) Emergency Zone 8
Default is 0; First amplifier must be 0.
Switch 4
Communication Monitoring
*(Dynamic)
Set to On (1) to enable monitoring of the
communications path between the amplifier and an
associated front panel.
Set to On (1) if a front panel switch and indicator card
is fitted. A general fault (indicator and relay) will be
activated if communications is lost with the front
panel.
Should be set to Off (0) is no front panel is fitted.
