NX-216 ZONE EXPANDER
2
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NX-216 is a microprocessor-controlled 16-zone expander for the NX-8 control panel. Up to five NX-216
expanders can be added to the NetworX control panel with a maximum zone count of 48 zones. Each expander
has an optional tamper switch and power isolator making it ideal for use in a remote location.
4-POSITION DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
The first thing that must be decided is the starting zone of this particular zone expander. The starting zone must
be on a boundary of eight (8) zones. The sixteen (16) zones for this module will move out from this starting
position. There are stick-on zone labels to indicate the zone numbers that you select. To set the starting zone,
set the dip switch according to the table below:
NOTE: THE POSITION OF ALL SWITCHES IS ONLY UPDATED WHEN THE NX-216 IS POWERED UP.
BEFORE YOU CHANGE THE POSITION OF THESE SWITCHES YOU MUST POWER DOWN THE
EXPANDER.
Starting Zone Number Dip Switch 1 Dip Switch 2 Dip Switch 3
9ON OFF OFF
17 OFF ON OFF
25 ON ON OFF
33 OFF OFF ON
41 ON OFF ON
Dip switch 4 - Dip switch 4 is used to disable the second block of eight (8) zones on this zone expander. This
can be done if only an eight- (8) zone expander is required in a particular expander location. In this case, up to
5 expanders can be added to the system creating a total of 48 zones. To disable the second group of eight
(8) zones on this expander, turn dip switch 4 on.
ENROLLING THE NX-216 EXPANDER
The NX-8 has the ability to automatically find and store in its memory the presence of all keypads, zone
expanders, wireless receivers and any other module connected to the data terminal. This allows these modules
to be supervised by the control panel. To enroll the modules enter the Program Mode of the NX-8 control panel,
and when the Program Mode is exited, it will automatically enroll the devices. The enrolling process takes about
12 seconds, during which time the “Service” LED will illuminate. User codes will not be accepted during the
enrolling process. Once a module is enrolled, if it is not detected by the control, the “Service” LED will illuminate.
WIRING THE NX-216
Wire the zones according to the wiring diagram on page 3. NOTE: Any unused zones must have the EOL
resistor across it (unless all eight are disabled by dip switch 4).

TERMINAL DESCRIPTION
TERMINAL DESCRIPTION
POS Connect to the KP POS terminal of the NX-8. Current draw is 30 mA.
COM Connect to the KP COM terminal of the NX-8.
DATA Connect to the KP DATA terminal of the NX-8. (See the wiring diagram for wire specifications.)
TAM Connect as shown below. IF NOT USED, CONNECT TO A COM TERMINAL.
AUX
Can be used to power devices directly from the NX-216. Power is comin
g
from the NX-8,
therefore the current draw of these devices must be added to the total current draw of the NX-
216. This output is current limited to 100 mA.
Z9 Connect to one side of zone 9 loop. Connect the other side to COM terminal. Open or short
causes alarm. (See the wiring diagram for examples)
COM Common (-) terminal for zones 9 & 10.
Z10 Connect to one side of zone 10 loop. Connect the other side to COM terminal. Open or short
causes alarm. (See the wiring diagram for examples).
Z11-Z24 Connect as described for Z9 & Z10.

DEFAULT ZONE CONFIGURATIONS
Zones can be programmed to be one of twenty different zone configurations (zone types). Configurations # 17
through 20 can be used for wireless or hardwired zones using European double EOL configuration. The default
zone configurations are listed below. These zone configurations can be customized by programming locations
110-149.
DATA DESCRIPTION OF DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
“1” DAY ZONE - Instant when system is armed trouble zone when system is disarmed.
“2” 24-HOUR AUDIBLE - Creates an instant yelping siren alarm regardless of the armed state of the control
panel.
“3” ENTRY/EXIT DELAY 1 - A trip will start entry delay 1. The lack of a trip during exit delay will enable the
Automatic Bypass or Instant mode if so programmed.
“4” FOLLOWER WITH AUTO-BYPASS DISABLED - This zone will be instant when the system is armed and
no entry or exit delays are being timed. It is delayed during entry and exit delay times. This zone will
not
bypass in Stay Mode,
nor
automatically bypass even if enabled in Segment 1 / Location 23.
“5” INTERIOR FOLLOWER WITH AUTO- BYPASS ENABLED - This zone will be instant when the system
is armed and no entry or exit delay is being timed. It is delayed during entry and exit delay times. This zone
will bypass in Stay Mode, and automatically bypass if enabled in Segment 1 of Location 23.
“6” INSTANT - This zone creates an instant alarm whenever it is tripped and the Armed LED is on.
“7” 24-HOUR SILENT - Creates an instant silent alarm regardless of the armed state of the control panel. It
will not display on the keypad.
“8” FIRE - This zone will illuminate the Fire LED and sound the temporal siren each time the zone is shorted.
It will also rapidly flash the Fire LED indicating a trouble if the zone is open.
“9” ENTRY/EXIT DELAY 2 - A trip will start entry delay 2. The lack of a trip during exit delay will enable the
Automatic Bypass or Instant mode if so programmed.
“10” 24-HOUR SILENT SUPERVISED - Creates an instant silent alarm regardless of the armed state of the
control panel. It will display on the keypad.
“11” KEYSWITCH ZONE - This zone type will arm and disarm the partition or partitions of the control panel that
resides in each time the zone is shorted. Keyswitch arming will report as user #99.
“12”
INTERIOR FOLLOWER WITH "CROSS ZONE" ENABLED - This zone will be Instant when the system
is armed and no entry or exit delay is being timed. It is delayed during entry and exit delay times. If a "Cross
Zone" is not being timed it will start a "Cross Zone" timer. If a "Cross Zone" is being timed it will create an
Instant alarm. This zone will bypass in Stay Mode and automatically bypass when enabled in Segment 1
of Location 23.
“13” INSTANT ENTRY GUARD - This zone creates an instant alarm whenever it is tripped and the Stay LED
is off. It will start an entry delay time 2 if it is tripped and the system is armed and the Stay LED is on.
“14” ENTRY/EXIT DELAY 1 WITH GROUP BYPASS ENABLED - A trip will start entry delay 1. This zone will
bypass when the "Group Bypass" command is entered at the keypad. The lack of a trip during exit delay
will enable the Automatic Bypass or Instant mode if so programmed.
"15
INTERIOR FOLLOWER WITH GROUP BYPASS ENABLED - This zone will be instant when the system
is armed and no entry or exit delays are being timed. It is delayed during entry/exit delay times. This zone
will bypass when the "Group Bypass" command is entered at the keypad. This zone will bypass in Stay
Mode and automatically bypass even if enabled in Segment 1 / Location 23.
"16" INSTANT WITH GROUP BYPASS ENABLED - This zone creates an instant alarm whenever it is tripped
and the Armed LED is on. This zone will bypass when the "Group Bypass" command is entered at the
keypad.
"17" ENTRY/EXIT DELAY 1 WITH TAMPER ENABLED - A trip will start entry delay 1. The lack of a trip during
exit delay will enable the Automatic Bypass or Instant mode if so programmed. This configuration group
can be used to enable tamper on a wireless transmitter.
"18"
INTERIOR FOLLOWER WITH TAMPER AND AUTO-BYPASS ENABLED - This zone will be instant when
the system is armed and no entry or exit delay is being timed. It is delayed during entry and exit delay times.
This zone will bypass in Stay Mode and automatically bypass if enabled in Segment 1 / Location 23. This
configuration group can be used to enable tamper on a wireless transmitter.
"19" INSTANT WITH TAMPER ENABLED - This zone creates an instant alarm whenever it is tripped and the
Armed LED is on. This configuration group can be used to enable tamper on a wireless transmitter.
"20" ENTRY/EXIT DELAY 2 WITH TAMPER ENABLED - A trip will start entry delay 2. The lack of a trip during
exit delay will enable the Automatic Bypass or Instant mode if so programmed. This configuration group
can be used to enable tamper on a wireless transmitter.
