Overview Of Decoder Programming; Programing Decoder Stations - Hunter X-Core Owners Manual And Programming Instructions

ovErviEW oF DECoDEr progrAMMiNg

It is recommended that each decoder be programmed with
station address(es) at the controller before installing it in the
two-wire path. Decoders can also be programmed in the field
with the Hunter ICD-HP Handheld Programmer, if available.
Program the station number(s) into the decoders, and then write
the station number assignments on the label on the decoders.
The decoder output module has two holes to the right of the
programming buttons.
Before programming any stations, you should have an exact plan
on paper for the location of each decoder and station in the
system. DUAL decoders are available in one- and two-station
sizes, and they may be mixed in the same system. The numbered
station assignments for each decoder can be programmed
for any station by the decoder module depending on the size
of the decoder.
NoTE: Do not program the same station
number into two different decoders!
