Loading factory defaults
To load factory defaults, enter program mode, enter the
device address and number and then enter 9, 1, 0, #. The
keypad beeps three times indicating that loading is in
progress. The process takes about six seconds. You cannot
exit the location until loading is completed.
Enrolling modules and keypads
The NX-8V2 automatically finds and stores all keypads, zone
expanders, wireless receivers, and other modules connected
to the data terminal into the NX-8V2 memory. This allows the
modules to be supervised by the control panel.
To enroll the modules, do the following:
1.
Enter program mode and program the desired settings
for each module.
2.
When you exit program mode, the NX-8V2 automatically
enrolls the devices. The enrolling process takes about 12
seconds, during which time the Service LED illuminates.
If a speaker is attached to the NX-8V2, it clicks at this
time. If a siren or bell is attached to the NX-8V2, it sounds
for about one second. If the module is not detected, the
Service LED illuminates.
Note: User codes are not accepted during the enrolling
process.
Quick start programming locations
For most routine installations, the quick start locations allow
you to enable a majority of the options available with the NX-
8V2 (when communicating in Contact ID or SIA formats). The
quick start locations include:
• Location 0 - Phone 1
• Location 1 - Phone 1 account code
• Location 2 - Phone 1 communicator format
• Location 3 - Phone 1 dial attempts/backup control
Location 0 - Phone 1
Location 0 has 20 segments of numerical data. Use this loca-
tion to program phone 1. The default for each segment is 14.
• To program a delay of four seconds, enter 13 in the
appropriate segment.
• To program tone dialing, enter 15 in the segment where
tone dialing begins.
• If the entire number is tone dialing, enter 15 in the first
segment.
• Enter 11 for a *, and 12 for a #.
CAUTION: A call-waiting cancel on a noncall-waiting
line prevents successful connection to the central
station.
Location 1 - Phone 1 account code
Location 1 has six segments of numerical data. Use this loca-
tion to program the account code sent when phone 1 is
dialed. The default for each segment is 10. Program a 10 in
the segment immediately after the last digit of the account
code. If the account code is six digits long, program all six
segments.
Location 2 - Phone 1 communicator format
Location 2 has one segment of numerical data. Use this loca-
tion to program the communicator format used to transmit
to the receiver connected to phone 1. Refer to your central
station receiver documentation to determine which format is
compatible. Table 4 describes the formats for this location. If
you need a format other than those listed, review the over-
ride options described in
Location 18 - Custom communicator
format
on page 4 to build the appropriate format. Program a
15 to create a special format (in addition to the entries in
Location 18). The default is 0. If this location contains a 0, the
built-in communicator is disabled and the NX-8V2 functions
as a local-only control.
