Programming the NX-8 control panel via LCD keypad

ENTERING THE PROGRAM MODE

To enter the program mode, press [*]-[8]. The LCD screen will now prompt you for the
programming code. Next, enter the "Go To Program Code" (FACTORY DEFAULT IS 9713). If the
"Go To Program Code" is valid, the LCD screen will prompt you for the device address you wish
to program. You are now in the program mode, ready to select the module to be programmed.
Note: it is impossible to enter program mode if any partition - or the system - is armed.

SELECTING THE MODULE TO PROGRAM

Since all the modules connected to the NX-8 are programmed through the keypad, the
module you are programming should be the first entry. To program the NX-8 Control Panel,
enter [0]-[#]. The [0] is the module number of the control panel and the [#] is the entry key.
Other module entry numbers can be found in the corresponding manuals.

PROGRAMMING A LOCATION

Note: Before programming the panel, the correct country code must be set in loc. 213
Once you have entered the number of the module to be programmed, the LCD screen will
prompt you for a location number. Any location can be accessed by directly entering the
desired programming location, followed by the crosshatch (pound) [#] key. If the location you
enter is valid, the top line of the LCD screen will display the location number on the left and the
segment number on the right. The bottom line of the display will show the current data. This
data will be displayed and entered according to the type of data used (numerical, binary, or
character data). Follow the instructions below for each type of data.
NUMERICAL DATA: The top line of the display will show the current location number on the left
and the segment number on the right. The data will be displayed on the bottom line. The hex
equivalent will be shown in parenthesis. To change the data in the current location, enter the
number followed by [*]. The data will be entered and the segment will be incremented by 1.
The data for this segment will now be displayed. Continue this process until the last segment is
programmed. When you reach the last segment, the keypad will prompt you for the next
location. If you wish to exit this location before the last segment is reached, press the [#] key.
This keypress will not save the changes made to current segment, but it will exit the location.
To proceed to the next location, press the [Police] key. To return to the previous location, press
the [Fire] key. To re-enter the last location, press the [Medic] key.
BINARY DATA: The top line of the display will show the current location number on the left and
the segment number on the right. The data will be displayed on the bottom line with the
numbers 1-8 in the first 8 characters. If the number appears, this binary switch is on. If
minuses sign (-) appears where the number should be, this switch is off. Toggle the numbers
on or off, using the corresponding number digit (1 to toggle 1, 8 to toggle 8). When the
numbers are in the desired state, press the [*] key. The data will be entered and the segment
will be incremented by 1. The data for this segment will now be displayed. Continue this
process until the last segment is programmed. When you reach the last segment, the keypad
will prompt you for the next location. If you wish to exit this location before the last segment is
reached, press the [#] key. This keypress will not save the changes made to current segment,
but will exit the location. To proceed to the next location, press the [Police] key. To return to the
previous location, press the [Fire] key. To re-enter the last location, press the [Medic] key.
