2. Program Location Descriptions
This section describes what each programming location in the NX-EchoStream Receiver refers to.
2.1. Transmitter Learning Location
Location 0: This location is used to initiate the auto enrolment of sensors.
When a ‘0’ is in the location, programming is not being attempted.
Enter the number of the zone you wish to learn in and press * to save. Press the reset button within 150
seconds on a transmitter that is NOT already learnt into the system. A chime tone (ding-dong) will sound
on the partition 1 keypad indicating a successful enrolment of the transmitter.
The keypad will sound an error (triple beep) if the number entered is not valid or is already used by an
existing transmitter. Check the number of zones enrolled (receiver supports up to 48 zones), the
capability of the control panel and bank offset value in location 194.
If Auto-Increment is enabled in location 193, the next zone value will be automatically entered into this
location and subsequent transmitters can be enrolled without returning to the keypad. If there is not a
successful enrolment within 150 seconds the keypad will sound an error beep.
The enrolment can be stopped at any time by entering a value of ‘0’ into this location.

2.2. Transmitter Options Locations
Locations 1 – 192: At any given time only 48 of these locations can be accessed, depending on the
value of the bank offset value in location 194. Each location contains up to 8 flags that are configured as
follows based on a sensor type transmitter or an arm/disarm transmitter.
Sensor Type Transmitter
1-5 Not currently used
6Supervision, Off = Use Burg Supervision, On = Supervised
7Off = Not supervised, On = Supervised
8Off = Transmitter disabled, On = Transmitter enabled
Arm/Disarm Type Transmitter
1-6 On = Activates corresponding partition
7Off = Not supervised, On = Supervised
8Off = Transmitter disabled, On = Transmitter enabled
By default, when a burglary sensor is enrolled, that zones’ option 7 and 8 are turned on.
For a fire sensor 6, 7 and 8 are turned on.
For an arm/disarm transmitter 1 and 8 are turned on.
These options can be changed once the transmitter is enrolled into the module.
To disable a transmitter simply turn option 8 off.
2.3. Receiver Module Options Location
Location 193: This location sets options that are global in nature to the receiver module and the location
contains up to 8 flags which are configured as follows:
1Off = RF Jam detection disabled,
On = RF Jam detection enabled
2Off = Transmitter enrolment is one at a time,
On = Transmitter enrolment is auto incremented
3Off = All Arm/Disarm devices report as user 99,
On = Arm/Disarm devices report as zone number
4Off = Module case tamper disabled,
On = Module case tamper enabled
5Off = Disarming can occur at any time,
On = Disarming can only occur during entry delay or partial arm
2.4. Module Zone Bank Offset Location
Location 194: Normally this location is set to 0 and the corresponding zones for the module are 1 – 48.
If a panel larger than 48 zones is utilised, this location can be changed to allow the available zones to
start at a higher number in order to reach the highest zones of the panel. Each count of 1 in this location
increases the starting zone by 8. See table below:
0Zones 1 – 48
1Zones 9 – 56
2Zones 17 – 64
3Zones 25 – 72
4Zones 33 – 80
5Zones 41 – 88
6Zones 49 – 96
7Zones 57 – 104
8Zones 65 – 112
9Zones 73 – 120
10 Zones 121 – 128

2.5. Supervision Window Location
Location 195: This location has 0 – 255 minute range values stored and is split into two segments. The
first segment is used to store the supervision window for burg type devices and the second segment is
used to store the supervision window for fire type devices. The nominal check in time for EchoStream
transmitters is 3 minutes.
