communications to all devices on the bus. A correctly installed bus scan completes within a couple
of minutes.
In the Scan Bus mode, the FIT monitors communications and interrogates controllers to report:
• The number of devices online
• The address of each device online
• The communication bus voltage levels of the device
• Status of EOL termination switch on the device
• Model
• Vendor
Note: Use Expert mode instead of Install mode when you need to read a greater number of
attributes from each device. The FIT defaults to Install mode to make user operation easier.
The User Mode can be changed from Install to Expert under the System Menu. See
