Do you understand binary numbers?Im stumped!
I dont understand how to set address on based on this paperwork???
Do you understand binary numbers?
Each switch represents a binary digit.
Just noticed, the switch positions are reversed.
PS: FWIW, every on switch adds 2 to the power of it position number-1.
I guess I dont...

Golddigger's answer provides you with the way to set the switches. To understand how it accomplishes the address, it uses the binary (or base 2) system of numbers, made up of 0's and 1's.I guess I dont...
Ummm ... that's 1-4 and 5-8...simple put, the vertical column is for dip switches 1-4 and the horizontal column is for sip switches 3-8. Pick the address # you are setting, and than start setting dip switches 1-4, than set 3-8

Probably wouldn't even realize it until testing.... hmy:... I'd probably have tried to set "8" as "00000100" and then wondered why I was getting a device at address 32!
What jusme123 said, corrected by Smart$.
In base 10 math, going right to left, you have 1's column, 10's column, 100's column, etc. In base 2 math, you have 1's, 2's, 4's, 8's, etc. Sadly, the manufacturer has decided to reverse the usual convention, and the lowest digits are on the left. It's as if they wanted to write one thousand as "000,1". I'd probably have tried to set "8" as "00000100" and then wondered why I was getting a device at address 32!

Just look at the switch upside down and all will be well....Sadly, the manufacturer has decided to reverse the usual convention, and the lowest digits are on the left.
What do you expect from Simplex? :slaphead:
It's all smudged and torn from being folded up in my pocket.What math?? Just read the damn chart.
