Setting the addressable module

Note: MS-702AP: Pull the module out of the bracket to set the address. The AP addressable module allows for an address range of 1 to 159. The TENS dial goes to 15 (unlike the CLIP module, where the TENS dial goes to 9).

Note: The module is set to 1 by default. For proper operation, you must change this to a different address. The following table shows how to set the dials for some example addresses.MS-710AP(U): Slide the module sideways out of the bracket to set the address.

If the dials are set to a number higher than 99, and the panel supports only CLIP, then the panel will see the device as an unrecognized device at address 0. The MS-710AP(U) counts as one address, which is set by the dials on the addressable module. The MS-702AP counts as two addresses.

Address	TENS dial	ONES dial
2	0	2
21	2	1
135	13	5
150	15	0

The first address represents the PULL handle, and is set by the dials on the addressable module. The second address is one number higher than the dial setting and represents the switch activated by the stage two key. For example, if you set the dials on the MS-702AP to the address M, then M represents the PULL handle, and M+1 represents the stage two key switch.

Note: Because the MS-702AP counts as two addresses, always set the dial address at least 1 below the maximum value. If the panel supports only CLIP, set the address no higher than 98, and if the panel supports AP, set the address no higher than 158.

Mounting

Open the station with the reset key.
Mount the station to a surface mounted box with 2 of the included screws. Refer to Figure 3.

Inserting the glass rod
Inside the station, there is an opening below the white PULL handle. This is where the glass rod sits.

Pull down the PULL handle part way.
Carefully insert the glass rod into the opening below the PULL handle.
Move the PULL handle back to the upright position. The PULL handle should now be holding the glass rod in place.
Close and lock the station.
