To configure the address for your PAD100-ZM Zone Module, you'll need to adjust the dip switches located on the device. The PAD100-ZM, like other PAD devices, uses a seven-position dip switch for address configuration. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Understanding Dip Switch Positions: Each dip switch has two positions: "On" (typically indicated by a filled-in box) and "Off" (typically indicated by an empty box).
- Default Address State: By default, all dip switches are set to the "Off" position, which means the module is unaddressed.
- Setting the Module Address: To assign a unique address to your PAD100-ZM module, follow these steps:
- Determine the desired address for the module. Addresses range from 1 to 127.
- Use the dip switches to set the address according to the device manual. For example, if you want to assign address "8", configure the dip switches accordingly.
- Sub-Point Configuration: When monitoring two individual Class B circuits, a single address is assigned to the module. Each input is then identified as a sub-point of that module address. If your module is addressed as "8", then the "B1" input will be "8.1" and the "B2" input will be "8.2".
- Safety Precautions: Before connecting the PAD100-ZM to the SLC loop, ensure the following:
- Power to the SLC is completely removed.
- All field wiring connected to the module is installed correctly.
- There are no open circuits or short circuits present in the field wiring.
- Testing the Configuration: After configuring the address settings, thoroughly test the module to ensure proper communication with the control panel. Consult the PAD100-ZM documentation for specific dip switch configurations and further details. By following these instructions, you should be able to successfully set the address for your PAD100-ZM Zone Module.
