DXP-HT v1.3 - On-Site Installer’s Guide
DXP-HT will generate all of the program and configuration files the installer needs. It will also
generate a report file that contains an equipment list, addresses for all devices in the system, a
device wiring and connection list detailing where the devices should be plugged in, and installation
instructions.
It should be noted that DXP-HT can be used by anyone. However, because the software will be
compiled and downloaded using NetLinx Studio, it is highly desirable to be familiar with that
application. Also, a good understanding of the NetLinx programming language is beneficial; if
changes are to be made to any of the auto-generated software files, then a working understanding of
NetLinx programming is required.
Scope
This document is intended to help an installer understand how DXP-HT operates. By understanding
the basic behavior of the software package the installer can avoid common mistakes and, therefore,
get in and out of a job more quickly. This document will explain the layout of the system but only
at a high level. It will also address the things that should be avoided and the steps required for
installing the system.

One Step at a Time
DXP-HT is easiest to install if taken one step at a time. Because of the number of devices, wiring
connections and files, it can quickly become confusing, especially the first time one does an
installation. There are some common sense rules that apply, as in most installations:
Label every wire termination point.
This is critical. Unless the cables are properly labeled it will take a time consuming search-until-
you-find-it approach to discover the proper cable. However, if the cables are labeled as they are
pulled this becomes a very simple exercise.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
Skipping steps in the installation process can cause problems in later steps. This will cost you more
installation time.
