  • Patent number: 10325481
    Abstract: A building device with a front accessible address programming interface is provided. The building device includes a mounting base having front and rear surfaces. The front surface defines two connector channels extending towards the rear surface. The connector channels are spaced apart and sized to each receive a respective prong of a programming device connector plug. The building device further includes external terminals disposed on the rear surface, internal terminals, a group of normally closed switches having a common control input, and an actuator. Each switch connects an external terminal to a respective internal terminal when the common control input is deactivated to provide a network connection. The actuator is connected to the common control input and disposed such that the connector plug engages the actuator to activate the common control input of the switches when each of the connector channels receive a respective prong of the connector plug.
