Note
House 0 is not a valid address and Room 0 is a special
address which gives overall control for a whole house.
Room 0 should not be selected as a Room address
without careful thought regarding the application.
Setting an address is the way in which interference between
other Radio Controlled Silent Gliss systems, either with other
rooms within your house or neighbouring houses, is avoided. It
should be remembered that a Silent Gliss transmitter may have a
range of over 100m.
Silent Gliss controllers come set with a default address of House
1, Room 4, Channel 1 and whilst the unit will function with this
address it is strongly advised that a specific and logical address
for both House and Room be selected
Modules can be given channel addresses from 1-8 allowing
control from the 7 button wall-plates and hand-held controllers.
Some advanced grouping arrangements are possible allowing
banks of modules to be controlled as groups within a room.
Systems with advanced programming need to be factory set. For
more details contact Silent Gliss.
Setting an Address
Each Silent Gliss transmitter has two, 8 way banks of switches
for setting its address. The two sets of switches allow the user
to choose from 255 house addresses and 255 room addresses.
To set the address, remove the rear cover (refer to controller
manual for details), whereupon the banks of switches will be now
become visible. To set an address, use a small terminal
screwdriver or similar device and carefully move some of the
switches into the ‘ON’ position. Addressing uses binary encoding
and the value of the switches is shown below.

Addressing Switches
Once the addresses have been set it is strongly recommended to
keep a note of the settings and to keep these in safe place.
Whilst it is easy to set the addresses, those of the receiver units
are normally only set once. To do so requires access to the units
and once set these may be installed in inaccessible positions. If,
therefore the wall-plate address get changed for any reason and
the original settings cannot be remembered then access to the
receiver units will be needed for reconfiguration.
Setting receiver addresses.
Once a House and Room number have been selected on a
control panel these need to be transmitted to each receiving
module along with a valid channel number. This is done by one
of two methods using a Silent Gliss wall switch or hand-held
transmitter. The method varies depending on whether a 8 or
single channel version is being used.
Note
When addressing from a single channel version only channel one
can be set. If a single channel transmitter is being used in the
same room as an 8 channel version then it is strongly advised to
program using the 8 channel controller.
To send an address to a receiver unit, the unit needs to be put
into receive mode. To do this hold the magnet provided against
the side casing in the position indicated by the label and as
shown below.
Fig 4. Set -up Magnet Positioning
Once the magnet is in the correct position an internal LED will
illuminate. If the magnet is held in position for approximately 5
seconds the LED will start to flash, this flashing indicates that the
module is ready to receive an address from a transmitter.
