Reserved for future use Unit ID Switches Each LOR controller used in a network must have a Unit ID assigned If two controllers are given the same unit ID then they will both perform the same effects Every channel that you control in a sequence a sequence is a set of controller commands constructed using the Showtime Windows software has to identify a particular output circuit or channel on a particular controller Unit Page 29 Page 30 DIO32 For example in a sequence that you construct a channel you call Front door may be assigned to Unit ID 03 circuit 10 Because the controllers are daisy chained together every controller sees every command sent but only Unit 03 will react to commands that are marked for Unit 03 The two hexadecimal rotary dip switches shown in the next picture are used to set a controller s Unit ID Valid Unit ID values are 01 to FO hex 1 to 240 decimal 00 is not a valid Unit ID To set the Unit ID to 01 the left rotary switch would be set to 0 and the right rotary switch would be set to 1 See Appendix A for a conversion of Hexadecimal controller unit IDs set with the switches and their decimal equivalents Zero Cross Selection Zero cross detection is required for dimming control using triacs or random cross SSRs Solid State Relays The DIO32 has the ability to detect zero cross on any of its AC input voltages The jumper Page 31 DIO32
