System addresses   
A.2  EST3 Installation and Service Manual 
Address format 
The system derives the addresses it assigns from the panel’s 
cabinet number and the LRM’s location within the panel (see 
Figure A-1). The basic address format is PPCCDDDD, where: 
PP is the panel’s cabinet number. The cabinet number is 
assigned when the installer downloads the CPU database into the 
panel. 
CC is the LRM’s slot address. The cabinet number and the slot 
address make up the LRM’s logical address. 
DDDD is the device’s point address. The LRM’s logical address 
and device’s point address make up the device or circuit’s logical 
address. 
The CRC Card Reader Controller and KPDISP Keypad Display 
are devices supported by a 3-SAC module. However, they also 
act as independent processors, and have their own pseudo points. 
For this reason, their device numbers are further subdivided. 
You can think of a SAC device as having this address format: 
PPCCSSDD: SS is the CRC or KPDISP device number, as 
assigned during LRM configuration. DD is a pseudo point within 
the device. 
Tip: To determine a local 
panel's cabinet number, 
use the LCD command 
menu to get the status on 
all the active points on the 
panel. When prompted for 
a panel number, enter 00. 
The panel returns the 
startup response point's 
logical address. The first 
two numbers of the logical 
address is the cabinet 
number.
