Introduction
The NX-548E Receiver adds wireless capabilities to the
NetworX line of control panels. Adding a receiver makes these
control panels compatible with NX wireless transmitters.
Only three wire connections are required for power and commu-
nication to the control panel.
Internal mounting
For internal mounting, mount the receiver inside the control
panel enclosure. Use the following installation guidelines:
• Leave at least 10 in. (25 cm) above the control panel for the
receiver’s antennas.
• Avoid areas that expose the receiver to moisture.
• Avoid areas with excessive metal or electrical wiring,
including furnaces and utility rooms.
To mount the receiver, do the following:
1.
Remove the appropriate knockouts on the top of the control
panel enclosure for the antenna shrouds.
2.
Assemble the antenna shrouds and fit the black O-rings to
the bottom of each shroud.
3.
Insert the shrouds into the knockout holes (
Figure 1
).

4.
Use the mounting screw provided to loosely install the edge
guide standoff in the lower mounting hole in the appropriate
space to the left of the control panel (
Figure 2
). Do not
tighten the mounting screw down at this time.

5.
Slide the printed circuit board into the antennae shroud
slots, after inserting wires into antennae shrouds (
Figure 3
).
