CADDX NX-8 Application Note

INTRODUCTION
This Application Note describes how to interface a JDS STARGATE controller to a GE/CADDX NX-8, NX-6 or NX-4 or NX-8e
security system. The NX-8 can be expanded to 48 zones maximum. The NX-8e can be expanded to 192 zones maximum.
STARGATE supports the first 64 zones.
STARGATE takes full advantage of all GE/CADDX security functions including:
Arm or disarm the system
Home and Away modes
Bypass or Unbypass zones
Turn the keypad chime mode on and off
Monitor and act upon partition and zone changes
Automatically set the alarm panel's clock
Track the status of the security system
Detect alarm conditions
Detect zone trouble conditions

The GE/CADDX NX-8, NX-6 or NX-4 requires the optional NX-584 serial interface in order to communicate with Stargate.
The GE/CADDX NX-8e requires a P0003 adaptor kit to provide a serial connection.
Support for GE/CADDX NX panels requires Version 3.00 (or higher) Firmware/Software for the JDS STARGATE controller.
The GE/CADDX NX panel connects to COM2 or COM3 of STARGATE.
The typical configuration consists of the GE/CADDX NX-8 security panel w/ NX-584 serial interface or NX-8e security panel
with P0003 adaptor kit and at least one GE/CADDX LCD type keypad (for alarm system programming and backup for alarm
system control).
