7/50D Plus or 7/50D Controller Chapter 3: Installation 20
Addressing and Installing ArmorBlocks™
Addressing Armorblocks
An ArmorBlock permits you to give it a number “address” so that the controller network
system can recognize its location and function. ArmorBlocks are used at vacuum
hopper/receiver, pump, and alarm node locations.
ArmorBlock Address Ranges
The number range of ArmorBlock addresses are as follows:
• 01 to 50 — Vacuum hopper/receiver stations; use a leading zero for
numbers 01 to 09.
• 51 to 57 — Pump stations
• 58 to 60 — Alarm stations
Setting Armorblock Addresses
Locate the rotary switches underneath the ArmorBlock. The two switches are:
• MSD (most significant digit) for tens
• LSD (least significant digit) for units/ones
For example, if you wanted to set an address at 36, you set the MSD rotary switch at 3 and
the LSD rotary switch at 6. To set an address of 8, set the MSD rotary switch at 0 (leading
zero), then set the LSD rotary switch at 8.
• Using a permanent black marker, write the number of the address
on the white label located on the bottom front of the ArmorBlock.
We suggest that you place numbered tags at node locations to ease
installation and reduce any confusion of locations.
To set the node address:
• Use a small straight-bladed screwdriver to rotate the switches.
Line up the small arrowhead on the switch with the number you want
to select.
The following figure shows that the address is set at 01; the MSD rotary switch is set at 0 and
the LSD rotary switch is set at 1.
