PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL
ENTERING THE PROGRAM MODE
To enter the Program Mode, press [
r
]-[8]. At this time, the five function LEDs (Stay, Chime, Exit, Bypass, & 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 LEDs will illuminate steady. You are now in
the Program Mode and ready to select the module to program.
SELECTING THE MODULE TO PROGRAM
Since all modules connected to the NX-8E are programmed through the keypad, the module you are programming
should be the first entry. To program the NX-8E Control Panel, enter [0]-[#]. The [0] is the module number of the
control and [#] is the entry key. Other module entry numbers can be found in their corresponding manuals.
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 [#]. If the location entered is a valid location, the "Armed" LED will extinguish, the
"Ready" LED will illuminate and the binary data for the first segment of this location will be shown by the zone LED's.
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 [
r
]. Upon pressing [
r
], 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 [
r
] without any numeric data entry. Each time [
r
] 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 [
r
] will exit that location, turn the "Ready" LED off and
the "Armed" LED on. The [
r
] must be pressed or the data will not be saved. To exit before the last segment, press
[#]. 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.
EXITING THE PROGRAM MODE
When all the desired changes in programming have been made, it is time to exit the program mode. Pressing [Exit]
will exit this programming level, and go to the "Select a Module To Program" level. If no additional modules are to be
programmed, pressing [Exit] again will exit the program mode. If there is a module to be programmed, it may be
selected by entering its address followed by [#] (see "Selecting the Module To Program" above). The procedure for
programming these devices is the same as for the control panel, except the locations will be for the module selected.
