Keypad Activated Panics- The NX-8E has three keypad activated panics that will send reports to the central station:
Auxiliary 1 (Fire), Auxiliary 2 (Medical), and Keypad Panic. Auxiliary 1 will activate the steady (Fire) siren, Auxiliary 2

the central station if 30 keypresses are entered without producing a valid code. (See location 23, page 18)
Keyswitch Arm/Disarm - Any zone on the NX-8E can be programmed as a keyswitch zone. If this is done, a
momentary short on this zone will arm/disarm the control. If opening/closing reports are sent, the user code will be 99.
(See "Default Zone Types", page 19)

alarm system. (See location 37, page 22)
Partitions - The NX-8E can be partitioned into a maximum of eight separate systems with distinct reporting codes,
user codes, and operating features for each system. (See locations 26 - 36, pages 20-22)
Program Code - The factory default for the "Go To Program" code is [9]-[7]-[1]-[3] when using a 4-digit code or, if the
6-digit option is used, the default is [9]-[7]-[1]-[3]-[0]-[0]. The program code can also be used as an Arm/Disarm code.
If used as an Arm/Disarm code, and open/close reports are sent, the user code will be 255. (See location 43, pg 24)

within 5 minutes after the panel is armed. The user number that armed the system will also be sent. (See location
