series (NX) to be reported over the Network. For warranty information, please refer to the
current GE Interlogix Product catalog.
2. ENCLOSURE INFORMATION
Inside the can, several 2-holed insertion points have been
constructed. This allows for either vertical or horizontal
placement of the modules. Notice that the insertion
points have two sizes of holes -- a larger hole and a
smaller hole.
Diagram 1: The black plastic PCB guides are grooved on
one edge where the PC Board will be seated. The end with
the half-moon protrusion fits into the larger hole. The
smaller hole is for the screw.
Diagram 2: Place the first black plastic PCB guide in the
topinsertion point,grooved edgedownward. The half-moon
protrusionwill be inthe large hole. It doesnot requireforce.
Insert one of the providedscrews into thesmaller hole(from
inside the can) to secure it in place. A screwdriver should
reach through the notch that runs the length of the guide to
tighten the screw. The second PCB guide should be
positioned opposite of the first (grooved edge up) and
placed in the lower insertion point, using the same
procedures described above. Once mounted, screw it in
securely.

4. ENROLLING
The NetworX control panels have the ability to automatically find and store in memory the
presence of all keypads, zone expanders, wireless receivers, and any other device on the
keypad buss. This allows these devices to be supervised by the control panel. To enroll the
devices,enter the ProgramMode ofthe NXcontrol panelusing the procedureoutlined inthe NX
Installation Manual. When the Program Mode is exited, the NX controlwill automatically enroll
all the devices. The enrolling process takes about 12 seconds, during which time the AService@
LED will illuminate. When using the LCD Keypad, the "Service Required" message will be
displayed. User codes will not be accepted during the enrolling process. Once a module is
enrolled, if the control panel does not detect it, the AService@LED will illuminate.
5. UNDERSTANDING THE LIGHTS

A. USING THE LED KEYPAD
1. 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 flashand thefivefunction LEDswillilluminate steady.You arenow in
the Program Mode and ready to select the module to program.
2. Selecting the Module to Program:
Next, enter the address of the Internet module, which is [7]-[9], followed by [#]. The
Armed LED will illuminate while it is waiting for a programming location to be entered.
3. Factory Defaulting the Module
If this is the first time the module has been used or if you want to load the factory
defaults now enter [9]-[1]-[0]-[#]. The keypad will beep 3 times indicating that the
loading is in progress. Remember you will erase any values you may have entered
previously.
4. Programming a Location:
Oncethe number ofthe module to be programmedhas beenentered, the"Armed"LED
will illuminate while it is waiting for a programming location to be entered. Enter the
desired programming location, followed by the [#] key. The Armed LED will begin to
flash while a programming location is being entered. If the location entered is a valid
location,the "Armed" LEDwill extinguish, the "Ready" LEDwill illuminate,and thezone
LED’s will show the binary data for the first segment of this location. To change the
data, enter the data followed by [r]. 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 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 willilluminate againwaiting for anew programminglocation tobe entered.
To review the data, repeat the above procedure entering the [r] key without entering
data first. Each time the [r] key is pressed the next segment is displayed. 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
[AUXILIARY] 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 displayed for review.
5. Exiting a 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 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.

6. 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.
B. USING THE LCD KEYPAD
All steps required for programming are the same as the aforementioned LED keypad.
The LCD keypad display will prompt you for the data required. While in the
programmingmode, and notin a location, the numberin parenthesisisthelocationyou
were previously changing. For example, if the display reads, "Enter location, then #
(5)", it is reminding you that location 5 was the last location you programmed. Refer
also to "Programming Data" which follows.

C. PROGRAMMING DATA
Programming data is always one of three types. One type of data is numerical, which
can take on values from 0 -15, 0 - F, or 0 -255 depending on the segment size. The
other type of data, feature selection data, is used to turn features on/off. It can also be
used as character data for Internet names. Use the following procedures with these
data types:
1. Numerical Data
Numericaldata isprogrammed byentering anumber from 0-255on thenumeric keysof
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 equivalents of
their illuminated LED=s are added together to determine the data in a programming
location. The numeric equivalents of these LED=s are as follows:
Zone 1 LED = 1Zone 3 LED = 4Zone 5 LED = 16 Zone 7 LED = 64
Zone 2 LED = 2Zone 4 LED = 8Zone 6 LED = 32 Zone 8 LED = 128

NX-590E Internet Interface
10
Example: If the numerical data to be programmed in a location is "66", press [6]-[6] on
the keypad. The LED=s for Zone 2 and Zone 7 will become illuminated indicating 66 is
in that location (2 + 64 = 66). 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.
2. Feature Selection Data
Feature selection data will display the current condition (on or off) of eight features
associatedwith the programminglocation and segment selected. Pressingabuttonon
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
ofa feature willmakethe correspondingLEDilluminate (featureON). Pressthe number
again, and the LED will extinguish (feature OFF). You will see that numerous features
can be selected from within one segment. For instance, if all eight features of a
segment are desired, pressing [1]-[2]-[3]-[4]-[5]-[6]-[7]-[8] will turn on LED's 1 thru 8 as
you press the keys, indicating that those features are enabled.
LCD Keypad Users: 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 advance to the next segment 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.
3. Character Data
CharacterData is usedto enter LCD text whenprogramming. Anexampleof character
data can be seen in programming locations 13-16 of this module, which takes the form
of[email protected]. This information is programmed using the bottom lineof the
displayas a texteditor. (Referto the [r]-[9]-[2]feature inthe NX148E manual.) Oncea
character location has been entered, the current data will be displayed on the bottom
line. As is always the case, the top line will display the current location and segment
number. The five (5) function keys, as well as the up and down arrow to the right ofthe
display,are now usedto edit themessage priorto savingitback tothe locationstorage.
An underscore (_) in the display indicates the current cursor location. To move the
cursor to the right, press the [r] key. To move the cursor to the left, press the [Cancel]
key. To change the character at the current cursor location, press the Up or Down
Arrow until the desired character is displayed. An alternative and possibly faster
method is to enter the 2-digit numberfound in Table1.1 thatcorrespondsto thedesired
character. To accept this character, press the [r] key. The character will remain and
the cursor will be advanced one space to the right. To insert spaces, press the [Stay]
key. To delete characters, press the [Chime] key.
