Node Commissioning using Hardware
The ArmorStart is shipped with the hardware rotary switches set to a value 
of (99). If the switches are set to a value of (64) or above, the device will 
automatically configure itself to the software node address. If the switches 
are set to a value of (63) or less, the device will be at the node address 
designated by the switch configuration. 
To set an address using the hardware rotary switches, simply set the 
switches to the desired node address. To access the node address rotary 
switches, three-phase and control power should be turned off. Then remove 
the starter module from the base unit. The rotary node address switches are 
located on the back side of the starter module. Change the switches to the 
desired node address. Re-install the starter module to the base unit. Reapply 
power and the device will re-start at the new address.
