GENERAL INFORMATION

The NX-320E is a microprocessor controlled remote power supply module for the NETWORX
control panel range. The NX-320E has three (3) programmable outputs and one (1) dedicated
bell output. A maximum of four (4) NX-320E power supply modules can be added to the
NetworX control panel NX-8 and a maximum of eight (8) power supply modules can be added
to the NetworX control panel NX-8E. This means a total output count of 16 (32 for NX-8E), of
which 12 (24 for NX-8E) are programmable and 4 (8 for NX-8E) are dedicated bell outputs.
These 12 (24 for NX-8E) programmable outputs can be used as auxiliary power, smoke
detector power, siren driver power, etc. (see chart on page 8). Each NX-320E has a tamper
terminal that can be used to supervise the metal enclosure. When the NX-320E is connected
to the NetworX control panels, the maximum total wire run from the panel to all devices,
including the NX-320E, is 800 m. Additionally, the maximum total wire run from the NX-320E to
all outgoing devices is 800 m.

ORDERING INFORMATION

For detailed ordering information and part numbers, please refer to the EMEA Distribution
price list of the Caddx product range.

NX-320E Installation manual Page 4 19/09/05

INSTALLING THE NX-320E

The first thing that must be decided is the address of this particular power supply. This is the
address that will be selected when programming the NX-320E. To set the addresses use the
table below.

DIP switch 4 is used to disable the tamper feature of the NX-320E (“On” = enabled / “Off” =
disabled).

Location Dip switch 1 Dip switch 2 Dip switch 3

84 OFF OFF OFF
85 ON OFF OFF
86 OFF ON OFF
87 ON ON OFF
88 OFF OFF ON
89 ON OFF ON
90 OFF ON ON
91 ON ON ON

ENROLLING THE NX-320E REMOTE POWER SUPPLY

For supervision purposes, the presence of all keypads, zone expanders, wireless receivers,
output modules, and any other devices can automatically be found and stored in the panel’s
memory. To enroll the devices, enter the program mode for the NetworX control panel as
described on page 5. If necessary, go on to program the rest of the control panel and the
devices. When you exit from program mode, the control panel will automatically enroll the
devices. The enrolling process takes about 12 seconds, during which time a “Service”
indication will be displayed. If a module has been enrolled but it is not detected by the control,
the “Service” indication (LED or LCD screen) will be displayed.

UNDERSTANDING THE LED’S

The NX-320E has four (4) LED’s, which provide valuable information about the status of the
NX-320E. The following chart furnishes the indications of each LED.

LED Description

DS1 Flashes when data is transmitted out from the NX-320E
DS2 Flashes when data is transmitted into the NX-320E
DS3 Flashes during normal operation
DS4 Used for hardware, and will only glow dimly when connected to the NetworX

control panels

PROGRAMMING THE NX-320E POWER SUPPLY

Programming the NX-320E via the LED keypad

ENTERING THE PROGRAM MODE

To enter the program mode, press [*]-[8]. At this time, the five functions LED’s (Stay, Chime,
Exit, Bypass and 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 flash and
the five function LED’s will illuminate steady. You are now in the program mode and ready to
select the module to program.

Note : it is impossible to enter program mode if any partition or the system is armed.

SELECTING THE MODULE TO PROGRAM

Since all modules connected to the NetworX are programmed through the keypad, the
module you are programming should be the first entry. To program the NX-320E module,
enter the address of the NX-320E, followed by [#]. See DIP switch chart on page 4.

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 zone LED’s will show the binary data for the first segment of this
location. 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 [*]
key. Upon pressing the [*] 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 the same location is desired press
the [Medic] key. To review the data in a location, repeat the above procedure, pressing the [*]
key without any numeric data entry. Each time the [*] key is pressed, the programming data
of the next segment will be displayed for review.

EXITING A LOCATION

After the last segment of a location is programmed, pressing the [*] 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.

NX-320E Installation manual Page 6 19/09/05

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 then return 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.

Note: the timeout for the program mode is 15 minutes.

Programming the NX-320E via 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 programming mode, and
not in a location, the number in parenthesis is the location you 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.

NX-320E Installation manual Page 7 19/09/05

Programming data

Programming data is always one of two types. One type of data is numerical, which can have
values from 0-15 or 0-255 depending on the segment size. The other type of data, feature
selection data, is used to turn features on or off. Use the following procedures with these two
data types:

NUMERICAL DATA: Numerical data is programmed by using the numeric keys of the system
keypad to enter a number from 0-255. 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 = 1 Zone 2 LED = 2 Zone 3 LED = 4 Zone 4 LED = 8
Zone 5 LED = 16 Zone 6 LED = 32 Zone 7 LED = 64 Zone 8 LED = 128

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 [*] 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 [*]
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.

Remark: on the LCD keypad, the number in the location will be displayed. For locations with a
maximum of 15, the hexadecimal equivalent will be displayed in parenthesis. Example: 11 (B)
or 14 (E).

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 keypad (1 through 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. 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 through 8 as you
press the keys, indicating that those features are 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 [*] 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 [*] 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.

ENCLOSURE DIAGRAM

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 top insertion point, grooved edge
downward. The half-moon protrusion will be in the large hole. It does not require force. Insert
one of the provided screws into the smaller 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
srew. 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.

Diagram 3: The PC board should slide freely in the grooves of both guides.
