Cancel - If enabled, the NX-8 will send a "Cancel" report if when the system is disarmed and the [Cancel] button is
pressed within 5 minutes of an alarm. Once the [Cancel] key is pressed, the "Cancel" LED will illuminate until the
central station acknowledges the "Cancel" report. ADialer Delay@must be enabled in the ACharacteristic Select@of
locations 110-149. (See location 23, page 17)
Code Required Options- The NX-8 can be programmed to require a code for bypassing zones and/or initiating a
download using the [r]-[9]-[8]or[r]-[9]-[9] function. (See locations 23 and 41, pages 17 and 22)
Communication Formats-The NX-8 canreportinmultiple formats. It isrecommendedthatyou use ContactIDorSIA
formatsifpossible.Ifyouwishtoreporttoapager or in a 4+2 format to a central station,youmustprogrameachcode
to be reported. (See locations 56-83 and 111-149, pages 26-30 and 33-36)
Cross Zoning - This feature requires two or more trips on a zone or zones programmed as "cross zones" within a
specified time before reporting an alarm. During the time between trips, the NX-8 can be programmed to sound the
keypad and/or the siren. The NX-8 can also be programmed to report an alarm after two or more trips on the same
zone. (See locations 37, 39, 40 and 110-149, pages 21 - 22, 33 - 36)
Dual / Split / Multiple Reports - The NX-8 can send communication reports to three different phone numbers for
dual, split or multiple reports selectable by event or partition. (See locations 4, 10, and 16, pages 12-15)
Duress Code- If a duress code is programmed the NX-8 will send a duress signal whenever the panel is armed or

first time the panel is armed or disarmed every day, as well as by pressing [r][4] Test Function. If the panel is not
armed or disarmed during the day, it will perform thetest atmidnight. The NX-8canalso be programmedtoperforma
missing battery test every 12 seconds. (See locations 37 and 40, pages 21 and 22)
Entry-Guard - This unique low level arming mode has been developed to reduce the most common source of false
alarms. When armed with the AInstant@LED on, the opening of any zones designated as "Entry Guard zone" will
initiate the keypad sounder and start the entry delay before creating an alarm. All other zones will function as normal.
This arming mode will encourage system owners to use their system more frequently when the premises are
occupied. (See locations 111-149, pages 33-36) NOTE: For UL installations, this feature shall be disabled.
Exit Error - If enabled, the NX-8 will send an "Exit Error Report" if an entry/exit zone is faulted at the instant the exit
delay expires. This report will be sent along with the user number that armed the system, if the panel is not disarmed
before the entry delay expires. The alarm report will also be sent. Even if this feature is not enabled, the siren will
sound if any entry/exit zone is faulted at the instant the exit delay expires. (See location 23, page 17)
Expander Trouble- The NX-8 will report expander trouble to the central station if enabled. This condition will
illuminatethe "Service"LEDonthe keypad even if not reported. NOTE: The keypads are considered expanders. The
number of the expansion devices reported can be found on page 53. (See location 37, page 21)
Fail to Communicate- The NX-8 will illuminate the "Service" LED if a report fails to reach the central station. If
enabled, when the next report is successfully communicated, a Fail to Communicate code will be reported. (See
location 37, page 21)
Fire Alarm Verification - When enabled, the NX-8 will verify a Fire alarm by requiring more than one trip ona smoke
detectorwithin a specifiedtimebeforecreatinganalarm. (See location 40, page 22) This feature is not approved
for residential use in California.
Force Arming - When enabled, the NX-8 can be Force Armed with zones violated. Under this condition, if a force
armable zone is not secure, the "Ready" LED will flash. At the end of the exit delay, these zones will become
bypassed.Ifthesezonesbecome secured any timeduringthearmingcycle,theywill be unbypassed andactivein the
system. If "Bypass Report" is enabled, the force arming zones can be programmed to report bypass when they are
Force Armed (default), or to not report bypass even if "Bypass Report" is enabled. (See locations 37, and 111-149,
pages 21 & 33-36) NOTE: For UL installations, this feature shall be disabled.
Ground Fault- If the NX-870 is used, a fault of the earth ground can be reported to the central station. If it is not

Page 6
Siren Blast For Arming- The NX-8canbeprogrammedtogiveaonesecondsirenblastwhenthepanelisarmed,at
the end of the exit delay, or when the central station receiver acknowledges the closing report. It can also give one
blast for remote (keyswitch) arming and two blasts for remote disarming. (See location 37, page 21)
Siren Supervision - The NX-8 has a ASiren Supervision@circuit that will constantly monitor the siren on the NX-8and
can be programmed to report if the wires are cut. (See location 37, page 21)
Silent Exit Option - The exit delay can be silenced by pressing [r]-[Exit] before arming the control panel or when
using the re-exit feature. The exit delay canalso be silencedpermanently in all partitions. (See location 37, page 21)
Start/End Programming and End Downloading- A report can be sent when local programming is started and
ended. A report can also be sent when a download session ends. (See location 37, page 21)
Swinger Shutdown - This feature allows a zone or zones to be automatically bypassed after a specified number of
alarms. When a zone is tripped, the alarm ‘counter’ reflects “1” in memory. If a new (first) alarm is detected in a
different zone, the counter remains at “1”. If an alarm isdetected onapreviouslytripped zone, thecountincrementsto
“2”. The ‘counter’ will increment each time an alarm is detected on a zone with multiple trips. Bypassing will occur on
thezonethatcausesthecounttoequalthenumberprogrammedin location 38; the‘counter’ will resetto zero (0);and
begin a new trip count where the next alarm will set the ‘counter’ to 1. If immediate restore is enabled in location 37,
the alarms (and restores, if enabled) will be sent as they occur. If immediate restore is not enabled, a second or
subsequent alarm will not be sent until the siren times out. (See location 37 and 38, page 21) NOTE: For UL
installations, this feature shall be disabled.
Telephone Line Monitor - The NX-8 has a Telephone Line Monitor that monitors the voltage and current of the
telephone line for a detection of a faulted phone line. This condition can also be reported to the central station. If the
reportisenabled,onlytheTelephoneLineRestorewillbereportedunlesstheNX-870isbeingused. (See locations
37, 39, and 40, pages 21-22)
Temporal Siren Disable - If disabled, the Fire Siren will be steady and Fire VoltageOut will be the same as Burglary
(continuous). Otherwise, the Fire Siren will be temporal. (See location 37, page 21) NOTE: For UL installations,
do NOT disable.
Tone Sniff Answering Machine Defeat- If enabled,onlyonecall is required todefeattheanswering machine. Touse
this feature you must have a Hayes 1200 Smart Modem or a Caddx 1200module. From the computer, callthe panel
as normal. When the answering machine answers, the panel willhear the tonesfrom the modem andseize the phone
line for a download. (See location 21, page 16)
Two Call Answering Machine Defeat - If enabled, to defeat an answering machine, two telephone calls must be
made to the premises. On the first call, let the phone ring one or two times. The control panel will detect these rings
and start a 45 second timer, during which, the control panel will answer the next call on the first ring. This is not
recommended for commercial applications. (See location 21, page 16)
Walk-Test Mode - If enabled, entering [r] [Chime] followed by a user code will allow a walk-through zone test where
all zones become silent and local (non-reporting). During this test the chime light will flash on the LED keypad. Each
time a zone is faulted, the zone light on the LED keypad will illuminate and the chime will sound. The number of the
faulted zone(s) will be displayed on the LCD keypad. It will also be entered into alarm memory and the internal log.
To exit at any time during this mode, enter a user code. Otherwise the AWalk-Test Mode@will automatically exit after
15 minutes. (See location 41, page 22)
Wireless Sensor Missing/Low Battery - The NX-8 will send a report to the central station when a wireless sensor
has detected a low battery or has not reported to the receiver. The "Service" LED will illuminate when either condition
exists. (See location 37, page 21)
Zone Bypassed Sounder Alert- If this feature is enabled, the NX-8 will beep the keypad sounder upon arming if a
zone is bypassed. (See location 23, page 17)
Zone Doubling - This feature allows you to use the eight zones on the panelas sixteen normallyclosed zones. When
thisfeatureisusedEuropeandoubleE.O.L.configuration cannot be used onthe firstsixteenzones. THIS FEATURE
DOES NOT INCREASE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF AVAILABLE ZONES BEYOND 48. If one of the sixteen zones
must be a fire zone, it must be one of Zones 1 to 8. The corresponding upper zone will become unavailable. For
example, if Zone 6 is a fire zone, then Zone 14 will not be available. (See location 37, page 21)
Zone Types (Configurations) - The NX-8 has 20 programmable Zone Types that determine how each zone will
function and report. The default Zone Types are listed on page 18. (See locations 111-149, pages 33-36)

3) Enter [r] - The "Instant" LED will illuminate steady.
This moves you to the partition enable. (This tells the system what partition this user can arm/disarm.
LEDs 1-8 illuminate for each partition that the user has authorization for. To change any of these
numbers, press 1-8 to permit or deny access to the user. (Example: If LED #2 is lit, then user has
assigned access to that partition. By pressing the [2] key, the LED will go off indicating the user has
been denied access to that partition.)
4) Enter [r]
This returns you back to step 2 above. At this point you may enter another user number to assign
attributes for. You may continue this procedure until you have assigned authority levels to all user
numbers - or - you may press [#] key to exit the Assigning Authority Level Program.
NOTE: Any master arm/disarm code can add or change a user code if the master code has access to the
same partitions as the code being added/changed. Consequently, when programming theuser codes
for a partitioned system,leave at least one code (can be "go to program code" if enabled in location
43) access to all partitions or you will not be able to add new users. If you desire the end user to be
able to add new codes, you must remove the partition authority from all blank codes.

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-8 are programmed through the
keypad, the module you are programming should be the first entry. To program the NX-8 Control Panel, enter [0]-[#].
The [0] is the module number of the control and the [#] 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 the pound [#] key. If the location entered is a valid
location, the "Armed" LED will extinguish, the "Ready" LED will illuminate and the binary data for thefirst segment of
this location will be shown by the zoneLED's. While enteringnew data, the"Ready"LED will begin flashingtoindicate
a data change in process. The flashing will continue until the new data is stored by pressing the [r] key. Upon
pressing the [r] key, 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 thesame location isdesired press
the [MEDIC] key. To review the data in a location, repeat the above procedure, pressing the [r] key without any
numeric data entry. Each time the [r] key is pressed, the programming data of the next segment will be displayedfor
review.
EXITING A LOCATION: After the last segmentofalocation is programmed, pressingthe[r]key will exitthatlocation,
turn the "Ready" LED off and the "Armed" LED on. The [r] key must be pressed or the data will not be saved. To exit
beforethelastsegment,press[#]. As before, you are now ready to enter anotherprogramming location.Ifanattempt
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 the [Exit] key will exit this programming level, and go to the "Select a Module To
Program" level. If no additional modules are to be programmed, pressing the [Exit] key again will exit the program
mode. If there is a module to be programmed, it may be selected by entering its address followed by the [#] key (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.
PROGRAMMING DATA
Programming data is always one of two types. One type of data is numerical and can take on values from 0 -15 or 0 -
255 depending on the location's segment. The other type of data is a feature selection type. Feature selection data is
used to turn features on or off. Use the following procedures when working with these two data types:
NUMERICAL DATA: Numerical data is programmed by entering a number from 0-255 on the numeric keys of the
system keypad. To view the data in a location, a binary process is used. With this process, the LED=s for zones 1
through 8 are utilized, and the numeric equivalentsoftheir illuminated LED=s areaddedtogetherto determine the data
in a programming location. The numeric equivalents of these LED=s are as follows:
Zone1LED=1Zone2LED=2Zone3LED=4Zone4LED=8
Zone5LED=16 Zone6LED=32 Zone7LED=64 Zone8LED=128
Example: If the numerical data to be programmed in a location is "66", press [6]-[6] on the keypad. The LED=sfor
Zone 2 and Zone 7 will become illuminated indicating 66 is in that location (2 + 64 = 66). See this example on page
10. Once the data is programmed, press the [r] key to enter the data and advance to the next segment of that
location. After the last segment of a location is programmed, pressing the [r] key will exit that location, turn the
"Ready" LED off and the "Armed" LED on. As before, you are now ready to enter another programming location.If an
attempt is made to program a number too large for a particular segment, the keypad sounder will emit a triple beep,
indicating an error, and remain in that segment awaiting a valid entry.
On the LCD keypad, the number in the location will be displayed. For locations with a maximum of 15, the
hexidecimal equivalent will be displayed in parenthesis. Example: 11 (B) or 14 (E).

PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE TO BE INSERTED HERE.

Page 11
FEATURE SELECTION DATA: Feature selection data will display the current condition (on or off) of eight features
associated with the programming location and segment selected. Pressing a button on the touchpad (1 thru 8) that
corresponds to the "feature number" within a segment, will toggle (on/off) that feature. Pressing any numeric key
between [1] and [8] for selection of a feature, will make the corresponding LED illuminate (feature ON). Press the
number again, and the LED will extinguish (feature OFF). You will see that numerous features can be selected from
within one segment. Forinstance, if alleight features of asegment are desired,pressing [1]-[2]-[3]-[4]-[5]-[6]-[7]-[8]will
turn on LED's 1 thru 8 as you press the keys, indicatingthat those featuresare enabled. LCD Keypad Users Note: The
numbers of the enabled features will be displayed. However, the features not enabled will display a hyphen (-). After the
desired setting of features is selected for this segment, press the [r] key. This will enter the data and automatically
advancetothenextsegment of the location. When you are in the last segment of a location and press the [r] to enter
the data, you will exit that location. This will now turn the "Ready" LED off and the "Armed" LED on. As before, you
are now ready to enter another programming location.
LOADING FACTORY DEFAULTS
To load the factory defaults, enter the program mode using the procedure on page 9, then type [9]-[1]-[0]-[#]. The
keypad will beep 3 times indicating that the loading is in progress. The loading takes about 6 seconds.
ENROLLING MODULES AND KEYPADS
For supervision purposes, the NX-8 has the ability to automatically find and store in its memory, the presence of all
keypads, zone expanders, wireless receivers,andany other module connected tothedataterminal. 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 as described on page 9. When the Program Mode is exited, the NX-8 control 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. If a speaker is attached to the NX-8, it will click at this time. If
a siren or bell is attached to the NX-8, it will sound for about 1 second. Once a module is enrolled, if it is not detected
by the control, the "Service" LED will illuminate.
LQUICK START INSTALLATION
For most routine installations, the "Quick Start" option willallow for enabling amajority of the optionsavailable with the
NX-8, when communicating in Contact ID or SIA formats and without partitioning. The "Quick Start" locations can be
identified by the Lsymbol.
