1. Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object

and unplug all the connectors from the unit.

2. Remove the three screws by turning them in a counter-clockwise direction and remove

the front faceplate.

3. Align the edges of the card with the internal guide slots and gently slide it in all the way

until the rear edge of the card snap into place.

4. Re-secure the faceplate by inserting the three screws by turning them in a clockwise

direction and securing the front faceplate to the Controller.

5. Re-apply power and other connections as necessary.

Setting the Integrated Controllers’ Starting Card Address

The 8-position CardFrame Number DIP switch on the rear panel sets the starting address

(the device number in the D:P:S specification) for the Control Cards installed in the controller.

The Control Card address range is 1 - 3064.

The factory default CardFrame DIP switch value = 0 (All CardFrame DIP switches in the OFF

position). The formula for setting the starting address is:

(DIP switch value) + Card slot Number (1 - 4) = Card Address

For example:

A DIP switch setting of 00010101:

(0 + 0 + 0 + 96 + 0 + 384 + 1536) + SLOT # (ex:1) = 2017.

A card in slot number 1 = device address 2017.

Set the CardFrame Number DIP switch value is based on the table below.

Cycle power to the unit for approximately 5 seconds. This allows the unit to read the new

device number settings.

Wiring a Power Connection

Use a 12 VDC-compliant power supply to provide power to the Controller via the rear 2-pin

3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector. Use the power requirements information listed in the

Specifications table to determine the power draw.

The incoming PWR and GND cable from the PSN power supply must be connected to their

corresponding locations within the PWR connector.

• This unit should only have one source of incoming power.

• Using more than one source of power to the Controller can result in damage to the

internal components and a possible burn out.

• Apply power to the unit only after installation is complete.

RS-232/422/485 Wiring Connector Information

FIG. 2 shows the pinout and wiring specification information for the rear RS-232/RS-422/RS-

485 (DB9) Device Ports. These ports support most standard serial mouse control devices

and RS-232 communication protocols for PC data transmission.

The NI-4100 uses Ports 1 - 7.

WARNING: NOT When wiring the 422/485 connections, do use pre-made 9-wire cable or

connect the wire in the cable to any connection that will not be used by the DB9 serial port.

Only use wiring that connects the needed pins.

Ethernet 10/100 Base-T Connector

The RJ-45 Ethernet connector provides 10/100 network connectivity between the panel and

the NetLinx Master (FIG. 3).

Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to provide communication between the Integrated

Controller and external NetLinx devices.

Baud Rate Settings (Program Port DIP Switch)

The Program Port DIP switch is located on the rear of the device. Use this DIP switch to set

the baud rate for the Program Port, according to the settings shown in the following table.

Make sure the baud rate you set matches the baud rate on your PC's NetLinx COM Settings

before programming the unit.

Note: DIP switch 1 activates/deactivates the Program Run Disable Mode. DIP Switches 2,3,

and 4 must remain OFF at all times.
