This section describes how to change zone default settings, how to terminateunused zones, and how to connect detectors.Zone addressingThe zone address format is:The RIO address range is 00 to 12, and each RIO can handle up to 8 zones.Note: 00 and 01 are the fixed onboard RIO addresses.Address onboard zones as follows:Zone Address Zone Address1 1001 7 10132 1002 8 10143 1003 9 10154 1004 10 10165 1011 11 10176 1012 12 1018If required, use the Descriptor menu (52 ent 2 ent) to name your zones.
