Installation Instructions
6
When installing an NX-6V2 in compliance with Underwriters
Laboratories, the following instructions must be observed:
• Initiating and indicating devices must be rated at 11.5 to
12.4 VDC residential, 12.0 VDC commercial.

• For residential fire applications, the indicating devices
shall be a Wheelock 34T-12 or equivalent.
• The
listen in feature shall not be enabled.
• The siren/bell test must be enabled. The auxiliary
outputs controlling the audible device require a
minimum cutoff time of 15 minutes for commercial
burglary, four minutes for residential applications, or 30
minutes for commercial burglary for Canada.
• For residential fire installations, the dynamic battery test
time cannot exceed four hours.
• Ringback must be enabled on UL commercial burglary
installations.
• On commercial burglary installations, the fire initiating
circuits must not be connected.
• The entry guard feature must be disabled.
• Group bypassing must be disabled.
• Delay before dial seizure must be set to
0
.
• Total current draw from auxiliary power connections at
terminal positions POS, AUX PWR, and SMOKE PWR must
not exceed 400 mA.
• Remote downloading must not be used on UL listed
systems.
• For residential burglary applications, the maximum entry
and exit delay times are 45 and 60 seconds respectively.
The exit delay time must not exceed 60 seconds for
commercial burglar alarm applications.
• The keyswitch option must not be used.
• The telephone line monitor must be enabled.
• The telephone line cut delay must not exceed 90
seconds.
• The 24-hour communicator test transmission is required.
• For 24-hours of standby power using a 7.0 Ah battery,
limit auxiliary power load to 140 mA.
• For 24-hours of standby power using a 17.2 Ah battery,
limit auxiliary power load to 400 mA.
• The silent keypad option must not be enabled.
• UL has only verified compatibility with the following
listed DACRs and formats: Sure-Gard SG-MLR2-DG:
2,9,10,12,13,14; Silent Knight 9000 - 2,12; FBI - CP220FBI,
13; and Ademco 685: 2,11,12, and 13.
• For burglary installations, cross zoned detectors must
overlap 100 percent in the area of coverage, and similar
coverage areas must be used. For example, interior
protection is cross zoned with interior protection, and so
on.
• Expander trouble must activate the siren.
• For UL 1637, expander trouble must activate the keypad
sounder.
• If the
late to close/early to open feature is enabled, the
opening and closing reports must be enabled.
• For Canadian installations, the class II transformer
secure tab must not be employed.
• The four-wire smoke detector employed must be rated
to operate over the voltage range of 11.5 to 12.4 V.
• Compatible listed devices: (special applications):
• Bell output (sirens): Wheelock models: NS-1215W,
NS-121575W, NS4-1215W, NS4-121575W, AS-
1215W, AS-121575W
• Horn/strobe system sensor: S1224MC strobe series;
1224MC Horn/strobe series; H12/24 Horn series
• Smoke output (four-wire detectors): ESL: 500N
series; 449CTE series; 521 series; 541 series
• System sensor models: 2112/24R; 2112/24TR; 2112/
24AT; 2112/ATR; 2112/24AITR; 4WTA-B; 4WTR-B;
4WTAR-B; 4WITAR-B
• Detection systems: F220-B6C; D273 series; Hochiki:
SBC-4/12, 4/12W
Additional UL 609 installation requirements
The alarm housing for a mercantile alarm system without a
remote alarm transmission connection shall be mounted on
the outside of the building, visible from a public street or
highway. It shall be accessible for examination and repair. It
shall also be located not more than four stories above the
street level unless:
a) A second alarm sounding device and housing, intended for
outside service is mounted adjacent to the premises or area
of the building in which the alarm system is installed or
b) A second alarm sounding device, intended for inside
service is mounted within the premises.
In either case, the outside alarm sounding device and
housing may be mounted as high as the seventh floor.
Additional UL 365 installation requirements
In a mercantile burglar alarm system, a mercantile alarm
sounding device located within a building, but outside the
protected area, is acceptable, provided it is rated for outside
service and alarm conditions are transmitted to:
a) The dispatch location of the law enforcement agency
having jurisdiction over the protected property or
b) A central station or residential monitoring station
complying with the Standard for Central-Station Alarm
Services, UL 827.
In a mercantile burglar alarm system, an alarm sounding
device located within the area of greatest protection, or
outside the area of greatest protection but within an area
protected by an alarm system and that shares a common
control unit with the system installed in the area of greatest
protection, is acceptable provided it is rated for inside service
and alarm conditions are transmitted to:
a) The dispatch location of the law enforcement agency
having jurisdiction over the protected property or
b) A central station or residential monitoring station
complying with the Standard for Central-Station Alarm
Services, UL 827. An inside sounding device shall be mounted
at least 10 feet (3.05 m) above the floor or at the surfce of the
ceiling. When there is fixed construction within the area that
could provide access for an intruder, the alarm sounding
device shall also be mounted at least 4 feet (1.2 m), as
measured horizontally, away from the edges of the fixed
construction or at least 10 feet (3.05 m) above it so as to mini-
mize access by an intruder.
