A total of 255 node address settings are available. The switches are a binary representation of the decimal node addresses. Switch 1 is the Most Significant Bit and switch 8 is the Least Significant Bit. The switches have the following decimal values: switch 1=128, 2=64, 3=32, 4=16, 5=8, 6=4, 7=2, 8=1. Turn on the switches and add the values of the on switches to obtain the correct node address. (On=1, Off=0)
