Dip Switches
tN4 System Control (DIP Switch #2)
A tN4 System Control is a control, not a thermostat, that 
the 542 thermostat connects to through the tN4 bus. All 
tN4 compatible Outdoor Reset Modules are tN4 System 
Controls.
• 
• If the thermostat is connected to a tN4 System Control,
set the tN4 System Control DIP switch to tN4 System 
Control (down position). 
•
• If the thermostat is not connected to a tN4 System
Control, set the tN4 System Control DIP switch to None 
(up position).
Lock / Unlock (DIP Switch #1)
Use the Lock / Unlock DIP switch to lock or unlock the 
Access Level of the 542. 
• 
• To unlock the Access Level, set the DIP switch to the
unlocked (down) position.
•
• To lock the Access Level, set the DIP switch to the locked
(up) position. Once locked, a padlock is displayed in the 
lower right corner of the display and the Access Level 
cannot be changed. 
Note: The tN4 System Control’s Lock / Unlock DIP switch 
overrides the Lock / Unlock DIP switch on the 542. Set 
the tN4 System Control’s Lock / Unlock DIP switch to the 
Unlock position before Access Levels can be changed on 
the thermostat.
