ADDRESS FUNCTIONS
Selecting this menu option takes you to the ADDRESS FUNCTIONS menu which allows you to perform an
auto address, replace/add a loop device, change an address, show/fix duplicate addresses and identify
changes to the loop.
AUTO ADDRESS
An alternative function to Auto Address is the LOOP LEARN menu option. See page 22 for details.
During an auto address the panel automatically assigns an address to each loop device in sequentially
wired order.
