NVX80 Overview NVX80 Overview The Paradox NVX80 motion detector is above and beyond anything in its class. The NVX80 features resilience to extreme conditions, a series of active infrared anti-masking and microwave proximity technologies to detect if anyone is trying to mask the detection, and unparalleled detection performance using SeeTrue™ (patent pending). The NVX80...
• Keep a minimum distance between adjoining NVX80 detectors to prevent MW cross interference • The NVX80 can be placed under a roof, awning, or the all-weather cover can be installed for outdoor installations • Install the detector within the suggested range: installing the unit lower than 2.5 m / 8 ft 2 in may compromise the Pet Immunity capability.
1. Loosen the captive screw located at the bottom of the unit. 2. Separate the back cover from the front of the NVX80 by carefully sliding it up and off. 3. Prepare the back cover for a wall-mount installation by drilling out the appropriate knock-out holes (see Figure 1)....
10. Insert the protective foam into the NVX80’s opening to prevent element infiltration. 11. Slide the front section of the NVX80 onto the back cover of the unit. The power up sequence will automatically start (if power is being supplied) and takes about 30 seconds.

• To MG/SP control panels or a third party system with a Dry Contact connection 2.4.1 Digiplex Connection Connect the NVX80 to the EVO control panel with four colored wires corresponding to the marking on the terminal board as displayed below.
SeeTrue™ can detect at the highest performance level, even where most PIR detectors fail. The NVX80 together with SeeTrue™ can detect intruders in high temperature environments, detect camouflaged movements (to and from the device), and detect intruders using insulated materials such as umbrellas, coats, cartons or other similar type of materials that are used to breach common PIR detectors.
Menu Item Description Idle SeeTrue™ is off. This is the default mode. SeeTrue™ detection is combined with PIR detection. The NVX80 will Secure provide very high movement detection through the combination of the SeeTrue™ functionality with the PIR detection events.
Set for small pet, large pet, or Off (Default is Off) The NVX80’s Pet Immunity can filter out the movement of small and large animals, under 80 cm /32 in high, and weighing up to 20 kg / 44 lbs, in both indoor and outdoor environments. By ignoring the movement of the pets the detector’s reliability increases.
50% from factory-set levels. The NVX80 anti-mask technology protects the detector from a wide range of materials; including but not limited to clear lacquer, aluminum foil, cling wrap, clear adhesive tape, and spray paint.
Clean Lens Trouble Creep Zone Using Relay 1 (form C) provides a higher safety level, as an indication may be generated on power loss (line NOTE: cut). It should be noted that this feature increases power consumption. NVX80 Installation Manual...
Use the built-in diagnostics to pinpoint troublesome installations. Test the NVX80 detector settings and bus operation. The Test Bus option will test the bus voltage and Digiplex connection, by checking the status of data and lines reporting no connection or invalid operation.
Installation specific settings can be saved and restored if altered. Settings can also be reset to factory defaults, all with the push of a button. Setting changes occur once the “OK” button is pushed. Changes will not be saved if the “back” button is pushed. NVX80 Installation Manual...

OLED Display Messages OLED Display Messages The NVX80 features an OLED screen, which displays colorful icons indicating alarm status, alarm type, and notifications. 4.1 SeeTrue Indications Secure Mode For indoor, pet free environments, SeeTrue™ extends the detection of true movement patterns. In addition to the regular indications, SeeTrue™ will indicate detection by the ST1 screen (red text on yellow triangle).
The detector waits for 16 seconds for the complementary technology’s detection. If no additional movement is detected during that time, the detector will return to its standby state. PIR Pre-Alarm in Test Mode PIR Pre-Alarm in Operation Mode MW Pre-Alarm in Test Mode NVX80 Installation Manual...

Input menu. 4.5 Service Notifications The following notifications appear when the functionality of the NVX80 unit is compromised. These indicators can help troubleshoot during installation or during operation. Appears in Operation Mode when the unit’s voltage is below 10v. It may also appear after an alarm or at the end of the power up sequence if the voltage was low.
• EVOHD control panel using BabyWare 5.1 Configuration through the Keypad/Touchpad You will need the NVX80 module serial number to configure the module through the keypad. If you don’t NOTE: know the module number you can still configure it through the OLED or BabyWare.
