Selecting The Module To Program; Programming A Location; Exiting The Program Mode; Selecting The Programming Mode - GE NX-10 Installation Manual

Note: It is impossible to enter program mode if any partition - or the system - is armed.

Selecting the module to program

Since all the modules connected to the NetworX system are programmed through the keypad, the
module you are programming should be the first entry. For example, to program the NetworX control
panel, enter [0]-[#]. The [0] is the module number of the control panel and the [#] is the entry key.
Other module entry numbers can be found in the corresponding manuals or in Appendix 1 Overview
of module numbers on page 154. The procedure for programming these devices is the same as for the
control panel, except that the location will be for the module selected.

Programming a location

Once you have entered the number of the module to be programmed, the LCD screen will prompt
you for a location number. Any location can be accessed by directly entering the desired
programming location, followed by the crosshatch (pound) [#] key. If the location you enter is valid,
the top line of the LCD screen will display the location number on the left and the segment number
on the right. The bottom line of the display will show the current data. This data will be displayed
and entered according to the type of data used (numerical, binary, or character data). For instructions
about entering each type of data, see Changing a menu option on page 9. If editing data, confirm the
change by pressing the OK key.

Exiting the program mode

When you have made all the desired changes in programming, it is time to exit the program mode.
Press the NO key twice to exit this programming level, and go to the "Enter the device address"
level. If no additional modules are to be programmed, press the NO key twice again to display the
OK to Exit prompt, and press OK to exit the program mode. If there is another module to be
programmed, you can select it by entering its address, followed by the [#] key (see Selecting the
module to program above).
Note: If you are not in a value selection mode nor in a value edit mode, you can press ## to display the
OK to Exit prompt. It also means you can exit any menu level immediately and display the OK
to Exit prompt by pressing [NO] [#] [#].
Note: You can set up the timeout for the program mode using the Control Panel>System
Settings>Timers>Miscellaneous>Programming Mode Timeout menu option, or by
programming location 40, segment 14.

Selecting the programming mode

The NX-10 system allows to use two different programming modes — location-based programming
or menu-based programming. In location-based programming you use locations and segments to set
appropriate values. In menu-based programming you use a menu tree to enable/disable particular
options or to set values. To select the programming mode:
Press OK at the system prompt and enter your installer code.
1.
The OK=LOC
2.
Press OK to select the location-based programming mode or navigate with the

through the menu to work in the menu-based programming mode.
