Addressing the SAT 3C
The address dip switches are additive; that is to say placing switches
4 and 5 in the ON position will cause the SAT 3C controller to be
identifi ed as satellite controller number 24. The SAT 3C controller
looks at the position of these switches only when it is going through
its initialization process after being powered up. Simply changing
the switch positions on a SAT 3C controller that is currently “on-
line” will not change its address number. The switches need to
be placed in the proper position before powering up the SAT 3C
controller, or the SAT 3C must be powered down and then back up
for the SAT 3C to “read” the new position of the switches. When
placing the switches in the desired position, make sure the switch
has “clicked” into place and is properly seated.
Figure 12-41: SAT 3C Address Switch location
There can be up to 29 SAT 3C controller connected together on a
2-wire communication loop. In order for the WCC III system to
communicate properly with each SAT 3C, each SAT 3C must be
assigned a separate address number. The number is assigned by
positioning the small address dipswitch on the front of the SAT 3C
in the proper position.
The SAT 3C uses up 8 satellite addresses. The lowest possible
SAT 3C address is #8. The address must start in multiples of 8,
starting at address # 8, then the next available address is #16, then
next available address is #24, then next available address is #32,
then next available address is 40, then next available address is 48,
then next available address is 56, etc. The only legitimate SAT 3C
address are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112,
120, 128, 136, 144, 152, 160, 168, 176, 184, 192, 200, 208, 216,
224, and 232.
