Individual relay and dimmer channels can also be controlled from their local toggle buttons (unless
disabled by software).
11.0 Programming Technique
All C-Bus units leave the factory with a default undefined Unit Address value of 255. You need to
assign a unique Unit Address to each unit before connecting it to a C-Bus system.
You do this by programming each unit prior to delivery, using a computer, a 5500PC interface and a
5500PS power supply:
1. ensure the 5500PC has a Unit Address of 000 before connecting the new C-Bus unit
2. connect the C-Bus unit to be programmed
3. assign the Unit Address, as a minimum programming requirement
4. disconnect the unit and mark it with its Unit Address
5. deliver the unit to site and install it on the network.
