Programming Data Types - UTC Fire and Security Interlogix NX-8E Installation Manual

Chapter 2: Reporting codes
You are now ready to enter another programming location. If you attempt to
program and invalid entry for a particular segment, the keypad beeps three times
indicating an error and remains in that segment awaiting a valid entry.
To exit program mode:
1. When you have completed all programming, press Exit to leave the selected
module.
2. If there is another module to be programmed, select it by entering its address,
followed by #. The procedure for programming devices is the same as for the
control panel, except the locations are for the module selected.
3. If no additional modules are to be programmed, press Exit again to leave
program mode.

Programming data types

There are two types of programming data (only one is used for any segment):
•
Numerical. Used to enter values from 0 to 15 or 0 to 255, depending on the
location's segment.
•
Feature selection. Used to turn features on or off.
Numerical data
Program numerical data by entering a number from 0 to 255 on the numeric keys
of the system keypad. To view the data in a location, a binary process is used.
The binary process uses the LEDs for zones 1 to 8. To determine the data in a
programming location, the binary process adds the lighted LEDs numeric
equivalents together. The LEDs numeric equivalents are:
Zone 1 LED = 1
Zone 5 LED = 16
For example, if 33 is programmed in a location, the LEDs for zone 1 and zone 6
illuminate, indicating 33 is in that location (1 + 32 = 33).
If you attempt to program a number too large for a particular segment, the
keypad beeps three times, indicating an error and remains in that segment
awaiting a valid entry. On the LCD keypad, the number in the location displays.
For locations with a maximum of 15, the hexadecimal equivalent displays in
parenthesis (F).
16
Zone 2 LED = 2
Zone 6 LED = 32
Zone 3 LED = 4
Zone 7 LED = 64
