Step Three

– Pre-Set Display Controllers


Ideally, you’ve already labeled the controllers and pre-set the addresses at the shop, so the
installers can just hang and bang.

Setting DIP Switches

Most display control systems employ the ICC1-232 or ICC1-IR for display control. There are
two sets of DIP switches on the bottom of each controller. They are used to set the device
number (network address) or control code type. In most cases, CR has already set the
control code type, or you can define through Display/Media Express software – so most
installers will use the switches for setting the address only.

Generally speaking, the second set of switches (S2) set the Zone address for zones 1-15.
The top switches (S2) set the unique address of the controller. If the system will always use
Zone commands for displays, you may never need to set the individual address.
