NOX System 

User manual 

V1.91 - January 2015 

 

4 / 44                   

  

Descriptions 

This manual describes how the NOX integrated burglar alarm system is operated, how users 

arm and disarm areas, and how to deal with messages and alarm from the system.  

 

This  user  manual  is  complete,  however,  there  are  some  user  menus  on  the  control  panel 

which may differ in appearance as they are determined by the rights of the user. Therefore, 

the menu may have another appearance for users with limited rights. 

 

This manual will use the default system setup. It is possible for the installer to change cer-

tain options, in which case these changes are not necessarily present in this manual. 

 

Key pad 

Extended numeric keys on the control panel. 

 

Arrow buttons 

“Up” and “down” buttons for navigation in the menu structure. 

 

Function key 

 

The two keys below the display. The function of the key will vary de-

pending on menu status and which menu you are in. 

 

Area 

The combination of a number of inputs to a group of inputs or detec-

tors is called an area. All detectors in an area can then easily be armed 

or disarmed by arming or disarming the area. 

 

Devices 

All devices connected to our system (e.g. NOX IO4, NOX CMU, etc.)
