(Loc. 37 and 39, pg. 20) AC Power / Low Battery Sounder Alert If enabled, the NX-6 will beep the keypad sounder upon arming or disarming if the AC power is missing or a low battery has been detected. (Loc. 23, pg. 17) Arm / Disarm Codes The NX-6 can have 40 four-digit or six-digit codes to arm/disarm the control.

Quick Arm Feature The NX-6 has a one button "Quick Arm" feature that can be used to arm the system by pressing the [Exit] key or the [Stay] key on the keypad. If closing reports are sent, the user code will be 98. (Loc. 23, pg. 17) Recent Closing If enabled, the NX-6 will send a "Recent Closing Report"...

Mode@ will automatically exit after 15 minutes. (Loc. 41, pg. 21) Wireless Sensor Missing/Low Battery The NX-6 will send a report to the central station when a wireless sensor has detected a low battery or has not reported to the receiver. The "Service" LED will illuminate when either condition exists.
PROGRAMMING THE LED KEYPADS This section describes how to program the address and partition of each keypad as well as the options that are available. The address of the keypad is important because this is how the panel supervises the keypads. The factory default for the Master code is [1]-[2]-[3]-[4] when using a 4-digit code or [1]-[2]-[3]-[4]-[5]-[6] for a 6-digit code.

SET SYSTEM CLOCK Step 1 Enter [r]-[9]-[7]-[master code]. The "Service" LED will flash. Enter AHour Code@. This must be two digits, i.e. [hour 10's digit]-[hour 1's digit]. Step 2 Enter AMinutes Code@. This must be two digits, i.e. [minutes 10's digit]-[minutes 1's digit]. Step 3 CHANGING USER CODES Step 1...
Since all modules connected to the NX-6 are programmed through the keypad, the module you are programming should be the first entry. To program the NX-6 Control Panel, enter [0]-[#]. The [0] is the module number of the control and the [#] is the entry key.

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-6, it will click at this time. If a siren or bell is attached to the NX-6, it will sound for about 1 second.
Phone #1. If a "2" is programmed in this segment, it will cause the NX-6 to make the dial attempts in increments of two. The first two attempts will be made to Phone #1, the next two attempts to Phone #2, then repeating until the total number of attempts designated in Segment 1 is completed.

Phone #2. If a "2" is programmed in this segment, it will cause the NX-6 to make the dial attempts in increments of two. The first two attempts will be made to Phone #2, the next two attempts to Phone #1, then repeating until the total number of attempts designated in Segment 1 is completed.
Page 17
Programming a "1" in this segment will cause the NX-6 to stop trying to communicate after the assigned number of attempts have been made to Phone #3. If a "2" is programmed in this segment, it will cause the NX-6 to make the dial attempts in increments of two.

LOCATION 23 PARTITION 1 3 segments, feature selection FEATURE AND REPORT SELECTIONS Location 23 is used to enable certain features that can be accessed or are visible to the user from the keypad of the system. In addition, certain communicator reports are enabled in location 23. Each of these features can be enabled by partition.
STANDARD (Default) ZONE TYPES Zones can be programmed to be one of twenty different zone types (configurations). Zone Types # 17 - 20 can be used for wireless or hardwired zones using European double EOL configuration. Table 1.1 lists the standard (default) zone types.
Page 21
NOTE: To null a zone, program the zone in APartition Select@ as zero (0) in all partitions and do not use end-of-line resistors. LOCATION 25 ZONE TYPE FOR ZONES 1-8 8 segments, numerical data Location 25 contains the zone type (configuration) for zones 1-8. Segment 1 is for zone 1, and Segment 8 is for zone 8. Default zone types are found in the Table 1.1 on page 18.
