PROGRAMMING DATA

Programming data is always one of two types. One type of data is numerical and can take on values from 0 to 15 or 0
to 255 depending on the location's segment. The other type of data is a feature selection type. Feature selection data
is used to turn features on or off. Use the following procedures when working with these two data types:

NUMERICAL DATA

Numerical data is programmed by entering a number from 0-255 on the numeric keys of the system keypad. To view
the data in a location, a binary process is used. With this process, the LEDs for zones 1 through 8 are utilized, and
the numeric equivalents of their illuminated LEDs are added together to determine the data in a programming location.
The numeric equivalents of these LEDs are as follows:
Zone 1 LED = 1
Zone 5 LED = 16
Example: If the numerical data to be programmed in a location is "66", press [6]-[6] on the keypad. The LEDs for Zone
2 and Zone 7 will become illuminated indicating 66 is in that location (2 + 64 = 66). See this example on page 11.
Once the data is programmed, press [r] to enter the data and advance to the next segment of that location. After the
last segment of a location is programmed, press [r] to exit that location, turn the "Ready" LED off and the "Armed"
LED on. As before, you are now ready to enter another programming location. If an attempt is made to program a
number too large for a particular segment, the keypad sounder will emit a triple beep, indicating an error, and remain
in that segment awaiting a valid entry. On the LCD keypad, the number in the location will be displayed. For locations
with a maximum of 15, the hexadecimal equivalent will be displayed in parenthesis. Example: 11 (B) or 14 (E).

FEATURE SELECTION DATA

Feature selection data will display the current condition (on or off) of eight features associated with the programming
location and segment selected. Pressing a button on the touchpad (1 thru 8) that corresponds to the "feature number"
within a segment will toggle (on/off) that feature. Pressing any numeric key between [1] and [8] for selection of a
feature, will make the corresponding LED illuminate (feature ON). Press the number again, and the LED will extinguish
(feature OFF). You will see that numerous features can be selected from within one segment. For instance, if all eight
features of a segment are desired, pressing [1]-[2]-[3]-[4]-[5]-[6]-[7]-[8] will turn on LED's 1 thru 8 as you press the
keys, indicating that those features are enabled.
displayed. However, the features not enabled will display a hyphen (-).
for this segment, press [r]. This will enter the data and automatically advance to the next segment of the location.
When you are in the last segment of a location and press [r] to enter the data, you will exit that location. This will now
turn the "Ready" LED off and the "Armed" LED on. As before, you are now ready to enter another programming
location.

LOADING FACTORY DEFAULTS

To load the factory defaults, enter the program mode using the procedure on page 9, then type [9]-[1]-[0]-[#]. The
keypad will beep 3 times indicating that the loading is in progress. The loading takes about 6 seconds.

ENROLLING MODULES AND KEYPADS

For supervision purposes, the NX-8E has the ability to automatically find and store in its memory, the presence of all
keypads, zone expanders, wireless receivers, and any other module connected to the data terminal. This allows these
modules to be supervised by the control panel. To enroll the modules, enter the Program Mode of the NX-8E control
panel as described on page 9. When the Program Mode is exited, the NX-8E control will automatically enroll the
devices. The enrolling process takes about 12 seconds, during which time the "Service" LED will illuminate. User
codes will not be accepted during the enrolling process. If a speaker is attached to the NX-8E, it will click at this time.
If a siren or bell is attached to the NX-8E, it will sound for about 1 second. Once a module is enrolled, if it is not
detected by the control, the "Service" LED will illuminate.

QUICK START INSTALLATION

For most routine installations, the "Quick Start" option will allow for enabling a majority of the options available with the
NX-8E, when communicating in Contact ID or SIA formats and without partitioning. The "Quick Start" locations can be
identified by the L symbol.

Zone 2 LED = 2
Zone 6 LED = 32
LCD Keypad Users Note: The numbers of the enabled features will be
Zone 3 LED = 4
Zone 7 LED = 64
After the desired setting of features is selected
Zone 4 LED = 8
Zone 8 LED = 128
