Step-by-step guide
Note: A sticker on the front of the B450 indicates proper switch positions for selecting various SDI or Option Bus addresses (see figure 1).
Figure 1 Sticker with address configurations
- There are 2 types of FPD-7024 panels. It must first be determined which is in use before selecting the B450 address:
- Newer types with firmware version 1.06 and higher. These types are identified by icons on the keypad instead of words (see figure 2).
- Older types with firmware version 1.03 and lower. These types are identified by words on the keypad.
Figure 2 Version 1.06 with Icons vs 1.03 with words
- Version 1.06 & newer types:
- When used as sole communicator or backup to phone line, set the address wheel at 9 for Option Bus address 250.
- When used as backup to a primary network communicator, set the address wheel at 6 for Option Bus address 134.
- RPS connections require Option Bus address 250. Be sure the address wheel is set at 9 on the network communicator intended for RPS connections (Ethernet is preferred when allowed).
- Version 1.03 and older types:
- Use Option Bus address 250. Only one network communicator is available on these panel types.
