3.Station ID LED

The KM0432's Station ID is displayed here. If this is a single station installation (see page 17), or the first station of a daisy chain installation (see page 19), the KM0216 / KM0432 has a station ID of 01.

On a daisy chain installation, the KM0216 / KM0432 auto-senses its position and displays the Station ID that corresponds to its place in the chain. (see Port ID Numbering, page 28, for details).

Pressing and holding in this switch for more than three seconds performs a system reset.

Note: This switch is semi-recessed and must be pushed with a thin object—such as the end of a paper clip or a ballpoint pen.
