Addressing & Polling

How do I find out what the address of a device is?

You will need to fix the device to the TCH-B200 hand-held programmer and then press the left grey button. Status messages will display on screen. The address of the device will then be displayed. The default address is 127.

How do I program a new address into a device?

Fix the device to the TCH-B200 hand-held programmer and then press the left grey button. Status messages will display on screen.

 

The address of the device will then be displayed. Pressing the left button increases the address by 10. Pressing the right button increase the address by 1. Press the blue button to store the new address.

Can I address mini-modules and call points?

Yes, but you will need a PL3 lead (available to order).

 

Plug one end into the TCH-B200 and the other end into the call point or mini-module. You can then program as before.

How do I change the polling mode of a device?

There are 3 modes available; Polling (flashing LEDs), non-polling (no flashing LEDs), and standard (default). To change the mode of a device you will need to use a TCH-B200 hand-held programmer.

 

Ensure there is not a device fixed to the TCH-B200. Press and hold the right grey button and the blue button together. Press and hold the left grey button until dots appear on the screen. Release the left grey button after a few seconds. A menu will appear. Release right grey button and blue button. Use the left grey button to change the mode. Use the blue button to store your selection.

How do I read a devices analogue value?

Fix the device to the TCH-B200 hand-held programmer. Switch it on using the left grey button. Wait for the address to be displayed. Press the blue button to display the analogue reading.

 

Over time a device may become contaminated; it is, therefore, important to check that the analogue value still falls within the normal operating range. The normal operating range is printed on the underside of the device.
