There are two kinds of bus devices:
• Keypads are used to provide system control, such as setting or unsetting
areas. Depending on the type of keypad, additional functions may be
available, such as LCD displays, menus to set time and date etc.
• Expanders are used to provide remote inputs and outputs.
Bus numbering
Devices use DIP switches to set bus address. The Advisor Advanced normally
uses the keypad/expander number. For the dependence between device address
and its number, refer to the appropriate bus device installation manual. The
address of the programmed device can be viewed in “2.2.1.n.2 Keypad address”
(keypad) and “2.2.2.n.2 Expander address” (expander).
