Note:Node address 0 is used for messaging between nodes and must not be used. A total of 255 node address settings are available. The switches are a binary representation of the decimal node addresses. Switch 1 is the Least Significant Bit and switch 8 is the Most Significant Bit. The switches have the following decimal values: switch 8=1, 7=2, 6=4, 5=8, 4=16, 3=32, 2=64, 1=128. Turn off the switches and add the values of the off switches to obtain the correct node address. (On=0, off=1) |
