Address Scheme
The configurator currently uses a sophisticated addressing scheme designed to avoid
conflicts with virtual devices. The different types of adder are described below:
• nn a two digit number is the legacy addressing format for a CLIP sensor.
• 1nn a two digit number with a 1 in front of it is the legacy addressing scheme
for a CLIP module. The actual address on the device will match the two digits
after the 1.
• nn.1nn a two digit number with a decimal number starting with 1 followed by
the two digit number on the left of the decimal is the new addressing scheme
for the virtual device of a dual address CLIP module (like the Dual COPTIR). The
actual address on the device will match the two digits after the 1.
• Bnnn a three digit number with a B in front is the new addressing scheme for a
Sounder Base or a Relay Base attached to an AP sensor. The actual address on
the mounted device will match the three digits after the B.
• Mnnn a three digit number with an M in front is the new addressing scheme for
an AP module. The actual address on the device will match the three digits after
the M.
• Snnn a three digit number with an S in front is the new addressing scheme for
an AP sensor. The actual address on the device will match the three digits after
the S.
• Vnnn a three digit number with a V in front is the new addressing scheme for a
virtual device attached to an AP sensor. The actual address on the device will
match the three digits after the V.
• Wnnn a three digit number with a W in front is the new addressing scheme for a
virtual device attached to an AP module. The actual address on the device will
match the three digits after the W.
• Wnnnn a four digit number with a W in front is the new addressing scheme for
virtual devices attached to an AP module that requires more than one virtual
device. The actual address on the device will match the first three digits after the
W with the fourth digit representing the virtual devices sub address.
