On the Simplicity Micro, the address given to a device will determine which zone it is
allocated to.

Traditionally a building would be zoned to divide it into smaller sections to indicate
which section had the alarm. On an addressable system, the panel can give an exact
location, so the zone information is less useful.

The address setting is binary, with the
ON
position being binary
0
, and the
OFF
position being binary
1.
Switch 8
is not used for setting the address, but
sometimes has a device specific
function. (check instructions that
come
with the device).
EG on sounder bases,
switch 8 MUST BE ON
.
If you are not familiar with binary, use the table
below, or use the following rule:
Switch 7 off = add 64,
Switch 6 off = add 32,
Switch 5 off = add 16,
Switch 4 off = add 8,
Switch 3 off = add 4,
Switch 2 off = add 2,
Switch 1 off = add 1.
The example shown would be:
switches 5, 4 & 1
=16 + 8 + 1 = Address 25
