You can set a drawing level default installation and/or location code in Drawing Properties. That is my favorite way to do this. I have an attribute in my titleblock for Installation and another for Location, both mapped for the titleblock update.
If course uou can also useca location box to assign a new installation and/or location code to multiple devices at once. And you could export to a spreadsheet, edit with Excel, and update from spreadsheet. There are numerous ways to accomplish this. Sometimes you just use the method that makes the most sense according to where you are in the design process.

Easiest way that I have found is a bit of a work around as I'm not aware of an ACADE funtion to do this.
Go to Windows and copy the first panel dwg/s and change the file names to what is required for the additional panels.
Open each dwg in ACADE and start the tool that copies Installation/Location codes.
Select the Installation code and enter the code for the second panel.
Deselect the Location code. Click OK then type ALL on the command line and hit enter. This selects all blocks on the dwg.
Hit enter again to finish the selection process and let the command run to it's finished.
Save the dwg before doing anything else.
Make sure you have the correct project as the active project. Now ADD ACTIVE dwg to the project.
Rrepeat as required for any additional dwgs.
After adding the final dwg, do a Project Rebuild.
You now have a project with multiple identical panels without having to redraw each dwg.
