Device Codes
If a device on the PCX system is not installed correctly or has lost its communication with the

first digit identifies each type of device:
1 = End Station
2 = Keypad
3 = Tag Reader / Door Station / RIX2
4 = Remote Input Expander

The digits after refer to that devices address, for example:
DEVICE FAIL 401 = means that the Remote Input Expander addressed as “01” has a problem.
