6.5 Setting the VP-885 DIP-switches
This section describes the VP-885 DIP-switch settings that configure RS-485
bus termination and the VP-885 machine number.
Figure 13 illustrates the factory default DIP-switch positions.

# DIP-switch Number Function
1 1 RS-485 Termination
2 2, 3, 4 Not used
3 5, 6, 7, 8 Machine number (see Table 5
DIP-switch 1 determines the RS-485 bus termination for the VP-885.
)
DIP-switches 2, 3, and 4 are not used.
DIP-switches 5, 6, 7, and 8 determine the machine number of the VP-885.
When several VP-885 units are connected, the machine number determines
the unique identity of the VP-885 in the sequence (see Section 6.5 ).
• When using a stand-alone VP-885 unit, set the machine number to 1
(factory default)
• When connecting more than one VP-885, set the first machine (only
when connected via RS-232) to be machine number 1. The other VP-885
units must each be set to a unique machine number between 2 and 16.
