ROGRAMMING THE
NX-216Z8
EXPANDER MODULE
Programming the NX-216Z8 via the LED keypad
ENTERING THE PROGRAM MODE
To enter the program mode, press [*]-[8]. At this time, the five functions LED’s (Stay, Chime,
Exit, Bypass and Cancel) will begin to flash. Next, enter the “Go To Program Code” (factory
default is [9]-[7]-[1]-[3]). If the “Go To Program Code” is valid, the “Service” LED will flash and
the five function LED’s will illuminate steady. You are now in the program mode and ready to
select the module to program.
Note: it is impossible to enter program mode if any partition or the system is armed.
SELECTING THE MODULE TO PROGRAM
Since all 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-216Z8 module, enter the
address of the NX-216Z8, followed by [#]. See DIP switch chart on previous page.
PROGRAMMING A LOCATION
Once the number of the module to be programmed has been entered, the “Armed” LED will
illuminate, indicating it is waiting for a programming location to be entered. Any location can
be accessed by directly entering the desired programming location followed by the pound [#]
key. If the location entered is a valid location, the “Armed” LED will extinguish, the “Ready” LED
will illuminate, and the zone LED’s will show the binary data for the first segment of this
location. While entering new data, the “Ready” LED will begin flashing to indicate a data
change in process. The flashing will continue until the new data is stored by pressing the [*]
key. Upon pressing the [*] key, the keypad will advance to the next segment and display its
data. This procedure is repeated until the last segment is reached. Pressing the [#] key will exit
from this location and the “Armed” LED will illuminate again waiting for a new programming
location to be entered. If the desired location is the next sequential location, press the [Police]
key. If the previous location is desired press the [Fire] key. If the same location is desired press
the [Medic] key. To review the data in a location, repeat the above procedure, pressing the [*]
key without any numeric data entry. Each time the [*] key is pressed, the programming data of
the next segment will be displayed for review.
EXITING A LOCATION
After the last segment of a location is programmed, pressing the [*] key will exit that location,
turn the “Ready” LED off and the “Armed” LED on. As before, you are now ready to enter
another programming location. If an attempt is made to program an invalid entry for a
particular segment, the keypad sounder will emit a triple error beep (beep, beep, beep) and
remain in that segment awaiting a valid entry.
