Protege System Controller Reference Manual

Auto-addressing
The SE firmware does not directly support Auto-addressing. The Auto-addressable modules can, however, be
used with the SE system by manually assigning their addresses. This is achieved by creating a table which
contains a list of module serial numbers alongside the addresses to assign.
When an Auto-addressable module is plugged in and attempts to register, the system will check it's type and
serial number against this table and, if found, will assign the address that has been specified. Once the module
has this address assigned it will retain the address from then on (or until deliberately changed to something
else).
To access the Auto-addressing menu login in using any valid Installer code then select [MENU 4,9,6].
If there are entries already in the table then the first entry will be displayed. If the table is empty then a prompt to
add an entry will be displayed.

From the prompt or from the display of the entry press [ENTER] to edit the settings or press the Up or Down
arrows to select another entry. Alternately press the Left or Right arrows to see more options.
Adding and Deleting records
From the display of an auto-addressing table entry press the Left or Right arrow to scroll through the three
options: Add an entry, Find and Remove entry. Press [ENTER] to select the option.

Add an entry
Press [ENTER] to add an entry. A new entry will be created with default values. Press [ENTER] again to begin
editing the values as described below.
ZX001
Remove entry
The current entry will be removed from the table. Note that removing an entry from the table will not affect the
module itself. It simply means that the next time that module tries to register it's serial number will not be found
in the table so it's address will not be checked and/or changed. If it already has a valid address then that
address will be kept.
ZX001
Find
The Find function will send a command to the selected module telling it to flash it's Fault LED for 60 seconds.
This can be helpful for identifying modules in a complex system. Note that the module must be online and
registered for this command to be sent.
Changing Settings
When the entry is displayed as shown;
