Installation

Before installing the D8128D OctoPOPIT, you should be familiar with the Operation and Installation Manual and
the Program Entry Guide that correspond to your system. Radionics recommends the following four-step process
for the most effective installation. The steps are
(1) setting the OctoPOPIT switches,
(2) physically mounting the OctoPOPIT to the enclosure,
(3) wiring the OctoPOPIT, and
(4) wiring OctoPOPIT sensor loops.
Each step is explained more fully in the sections that follow.
3.1

Setting OctoPOPIT Switches

There are two sets of dipswitches on the D8128D
OctoPOPIT. The dipswitches on the top of the unit
(with the terminal strip along the left edge) are used to
set the OctoPOPIT's address. The DIP switches at the
bottom of the unit are used to enable or disable
individual points connected to the OctoPOPIT.
3.1.1

Address Switches

The switches on the D8128D OctoPOPIT set point
assignments and line termination (see Figure 1).
These switches are easier to set before you mount the
D8128D in the enclosure.

3.1.1.1 Address Assignment Switches

Switches 1, 2, 3, and 4 assign the OctoPOPIT sensor
loops to point numbers on the panel. Table 5 to Table
8 shows the OctoPOPIT switch settings for point
assignments, depending on the control panel you are
using.

3.1.1.2 Line Termination Switch Settings

Switch 5 sets line termination.
•
If there is no D8125 POPEX module connected to ZONEX 1, set switch 5 of only one D8128D connected to
those terminals to the ON position.
•
If there is a D8125 POPEX module connected to ZONEX 1, set switch 5 of all D8128Ds connected to those
terminals to the OFF position.
•
If there is no D8125 POPEX module connected to ZONEX 2, set switch 5 of only one D8128D connected to
those terminals to the ON position.
•
If there is a D8125 POPEX module connected to ZONEX 2, set switch 5 of all D8128Ds connected to those
terminals to the OFF position.
3.1.2

Point Dipswitches

You can enable or disable each point connected to the D8128D by turning its respective dipswitch to the closed
or open position. For example, if you wanted to disable a device connected to the P3 terminal (Point 3), you
would move dipswitch number 3 into the OPEN position. Use the point dipswitches to disable conflicting points,
such as when a D9210B Access Control module must be assigned to a point that falls within the range of the
D8128D OctoPOPIT.
For example, a D9210B is assigned to Point 20. On the same system, a D8128D OctoPOPIT is assigned to
Points 17-24. Moving the dipswitch for Point 4 to the OFF position would effectively disable Point 20, allowing
normal operation of the D9210B and the OctoPOPIT.
