M1XIN LED Blink Rate Question

[Boomer]

I have an M1 with 3 M1XIN expanders, 4 M1XSP's and an M1XEP . The system works fine without com errors. I just noticed a difference in the orange status LED blink rate between the M1XIN boards. Two of the boards blink at approximately 2 second intervals with a single blink. The third board has 6 rapid blinks and then about a 2 second pause. The only difference I see is that the M1XIN that blinks rapidly has 12 fire & CO zones - none of the other boards has any fire zones. I am curious if anyone knows the reason for the difference in the LED blink rate. I could not find any reference to this on CT or in the manuals.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

6 blinks means address in use.
Check your switch settings.
The LED info is right on the circuit board.

gatchel, thanks for the info! That solved the problem. Actually I had not duplicated an address but rather skipped an address. The 3 M1XIN's were set to data addresses 2,3 and 5.

Skipping an address should not be a problem unless it was not enrolled in the M1.

Spanky, all the units were enrolled and working correctly even with the fast blink rate on the 3rd expander. As soon as I changed the last M1XIN to address 4 instead of 5, the blink rate corrected itself and I did not need re-enroll the unit. All 3 expanders have been tested and continue to work correctly.

Thanks!
