INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Follow the steps described below to install and configure the system.
1) Install Security System
You must first install the security system; refer to the GE/CADDX documentation for details.
For the GE/Caddx NX-8, NX-6 or NX-4, you must also install an NX-584 serial interface board into the security system.
The NX-584 connects to the POS, GND, and DATAkeypad
screwterminals on the GE/CADDX panel and provides the RS-232
serial interface (DB-9) that STARGATE connects to.
NOTE: The NX-584 has four jumpers (J7, J8, J9, J10)
that control the functions of the DB-9 serial port pins.
Leave the NX-584 jumpers in their default positions.
Jumpers J7 & J10 toward DB-9 serial connector (J6),
Jumpers J8 & J9 away from DB-9 serial connector.
The GE/CADDX NX-8e has built-in serial communication and does not require a NX584. Instead, use a ZCIF232 interface
adaptorkitto provide a serial connection. (See connectiondiagramon page 1)
We strongly recommend you get the security system up and running before connecting it to STARGATE.
This will reduce the likelihood of problems and make troubleshooting much easier.
2) Configure Security System Communication Settings
TheGE/CADDX security system provides a varietyof configurable settings that controlhow it works. These mustbe properly
setupbeforeitcan be used with STARGATE. Thetablebelow shows the required settings and the programming locationsfor
each.RefertotheGE/CADDXInstallation Manual for further details on how to program these.
Ifyour GE/CADDX security panel issettoitsdefault settings, press * 8 9 7 1 3 7 2 # forNX-8/6/4 or * 8 9 7 1 3 0 # for NX-8e from
the Caddx keypad to begin programming. Then continue programming the following settings.

SECURITYSYSTEM COMMANDS
Thefollowingsecurity system commands can beusedas THEN - SECURITY actions anywhere in your schedule.
Arm partition in Home Mode
This command arms the partition(s) in the Home (Stay) mode. There will be separate check boxes on the screen for each
partition in your system. You can select any or all of the partitions to arm.
Arm partition
This command arms the partition(s) specified. There will be separate check boxes on the screen for each partition in your
system. You can select any or all of the partitions to arm.
Disarm partition
This command disarms the partition(s) specified. There will be separate check boxes on the screen for each partition in your
system. You can select any or all of the partitions to disarm. If an alarm is going off, this command will silence it.
Bypasszone
Thiscommand bypasses aparticular zone.
Un-Bypasszone
Thiscommandun-bypasses a particular zone.
Turn partitions chime mode ON
This command turns on the chime mode for the partition(s) specified. There will be separate check boxes on the screen for
each partition in your system. You can select any or all of the partitions to turn on.
Turn partitions chime mode OFF
This command turns off the chime mode for the partition(s) specified. There will be separate check boxes on the screen for
each partition in your system. You can select any or all of the partitions to turn off.
Toggle partitions instant mode
This command toggles the “instant” mode for the partition(s) specified. There will be separate check boxes on the screen for
each partition in your system. You can select any or all of the partitions to control. If the partition instant mode is currently off,
it will turn on. If it is currently on, it will turn off.
Sound partitions Fire Panic
Thiscommand sounds the “fire panic” alarm for the partition(s) specified. There will be separate check boxes onthe screen for
each partition in your system. You can select any or all of the partitions to sound.
Sound partitions Medical Panic
This command sounds the “medical panic” alarm for the partition(s) specified. There will be separate check boxes on the
screen for each partition in your system. You can select any or all of the partitions to sound.
Sound partitions Police Panic
This command sounds the “police panic” alarm for the partition(s) specified. There will be separate check boxes on the screen
for each partition in your system. You can select any or all of the partitions to sound.
Load user_VAR with User Number
This command loads the most recent User Number entered into the user_VAR. There will be separate check boxes on the
screen for each partition in your system. You can select any or all of the partitions.
INSTALLATION AND SETUP (cont’d)
3) Use a P0003 adapter kit to connect the GE/CADDX circuit board (connector J11) to Stargate’s COM2 or COM3.
4) Configure WinEVM Software:
· Open the Security System Configuration screen under the Define menu.
· In the “Security system type” box, select “CADDX NetworX”.
· In the “Serial Port Used” box, select the STARGATE serial port number the security system is connected to.
· For each zone, you can enter a descriptive name. This name will be used in your schedule.
Click OK. WinEVM will configure the STARGATE serial port for use with the GE/CADDX Security Panel.
At this point, you can use the IF and THEN SECURITY statements in your schedule.
UsetheMegaController to monitor security panel activity to verify STARGATE is communicating with the security system properly. If
noactivityisobserved,click“Logging Messages” (above the MegaControllerActivity Log box) and verify SECURITYisselected.
If still no activity is observed: a) Remove power from the security system then reapply it. b) Verify the serial cable is properly
connectedbetween STARGATEand theGE/CADDXpanel. c)Be sureyouhave thecorrectcable type. d) Verifytheparameterswere
set up properly.

SECURITY SYSTEM CONDITIONS
The following security system conditions can be used as IF - SECURITY conditions anywhere in your schedule.
Transition Activated
At the start of every schedule pass, STARGATE will process the information the GE/CADDX security panel has sent.
Any changes to partitions or zones will cause an internal “transition” state to be set for that pass through the schedule,
the “transition” state will be cleared at the end of the schedule pass.
When the “TransitionActivated” checkbox is selected, the IF condition will be TRUE when the condition goes active.
When not selected, the IF condition will be TRUE when the condition is active. This is best explained in an example:
EVENT: PartitionArmed
If
SEC: Partition ARMED[Partion 1] TRANSITION
Then
LCD: Red LED ON [KP:ALL]
End
In the above example the LCD Keypads Red LED will be turned ON at the time the security panel becomes armed.
EVENT: Security Lights
If
SEC: Partition ARMED[Partion 1]
and Sunset SMTWTFS
Then
X10: F-1 Front Porch Lt ON
End
In this example the Front Porch light will turn ON if the security panel IS armed (as opposed to becomes armed) and
the time is Sunset. Note: if “Transition Activated” was used, the Security Lights event would trigger only if the security
panel became armed exactly at Sunset.
User Number
Events can be created based on the last user to arm or disarm the Caddx panel.
NOTE: If the same User Number is repeated, Stargate will not see the repeated User Number become true and
therefore not respond until a different User Number is received. To accommodate repeated User Numbers, add the
“PartitionARMED” or “Partition NotARMED” condition. Example:
EVENT: HallLight OnforUser1
If
SEC: Partition Not ARMED[Partion 1]
and SEC: User Number is 1 [Partition 1]
Then
X10:F-2 HallLtON
End
