Setting the detector address
In order to identify itself to the PC command module or fire panel, each detector
needs to have a unique address ranging from 1 to 127. The detector address is
set on DIP switch SW1, at the bottom left of the opened detector on the main
circuit board. The switch settings are up for 1 and down for 0, and the detector
address is set as a 7-bit binary code (switch 8 equates to a value of 128 and so
is outside the usable address range). Refer to Figure 2 on page 5 for the location
of detector DIP switches.
Figure 14 shows a sample DIP switch setting.
The address equates to 11000110 in binary, or:
(1 x 1) + (1 x 2) + (0 x 4) + (0 x 8) + (0x 16) + (1 x 32) + (1 x 64) + (0 x 128) = 99
The full range of available addresses and their relevant switch settings are
provided in Table 3 on page 23 for reference.
