To configure unique addresses for your TRAM-208 Annunciators, you'll utilize the DIP switches located on the module. This process ensures each annunciator has a distinct identifier within your system. Here’s a detailed guide:
-
Locate the DIP Switches: Identify the DIP switches, labeled SW1-1, SW1-2, SW1-3, and SW1-4, on the TRAM-208 Annunciator. These switches are crucial for setting the address and other settings.
-
Address Assignment: Each annunciator needs a unique, sequential address. Here’s how the switches function:
- SW1-1: Represents Address A0, used to set the first digit of the address.
- SW1-2: Represents Address A1, used to set the second digit of the address, within the range of 1 to 7.
- SW1-3: Represents Address A2, used to set the third digit of the address.
-
Sequential Numbering Best Practice: When setting up multiple annunciators, assign addresses sequentially (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) to prevent conflicts and maintain proper system communication.
-
Address Compatibility: Always consult your Fire Alarm Control Panel manual to verify valid address ranges and compatibility for your specific setup.
-
SW1-4 Functionality: This switch controls the front panel slide switches. When "off," the System Reset and Signal Silence slide switches are disabled while Buzzer Silence and Lamp Test function with the keyswitch. When "on," all four slide switches respond to the keyswitch.
By following these steps and correctly positioning the DIP switches, you can successfully assign unique addresses to each TRAM-208 Annunciator, optimizing its functionality within your fire alarm system.
