Installation Manual

Installation

To install the module you will need to mount and wire the board.

Mounting

Inside the can, several two-holed insertion points have been constructed. This allows for either vertical or horizontal placement of the modules. The insertion points have two sizes of holes, a larger hole and a smaller hole. 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.

To mount the board, see Figure 2 and do the following:

1. Place the first black plastic PCB guide in the top insertion point, grooved edge downward. The halfmoon protrusion will be in the large hole. It does not require force.

2. Insert one of the provided screws into the smaller hole (from the inside of 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.

3. Position the second PCB guide opposite of the first (grooved edge up) and placed in the lower insertion point, using the same procedure.

4. Once mounted, screw it in securely.

5. Slide the board in the grooves of both guides.

Note: Older style enclosures did not provide an exit hole for the antenna included with the GSM module. In such cases, you

must either drill a new hole (5/8 in.) on top of the can or use an optional external antenna (NX-501E-GSM).

NX-591E-GSM SMSXpress Module

Installation Manual

Programming

You can program the module using the LED keypad or the LCD keypad. To program the module using the LED keypad, do the following:

Enter program mode

To enter program mode, press * 8. The Stay, Chime, Exit, Bypass, and Cancel LEDs on the keypad will flash. Enter the “go to program code”. The factory default is 9 7 1 3. If the code is valid, the Service LED on the keypad will flash and the five function LEDs will illuminate steady. You are now in program mode and can select the module to program.

Select the module to program

T o select the module to program, press 7 6 # (the address of this GSM module). The Armed LED on the keypad will illuminate while it is waiting for a programming location to be entered.

Factory default the module

T o return the mo dule to factory defaults, press 9 1 0 #. The keypad will beep three times indicating that loading is in progress. Remember you will erase any values you may have entered previously.

Programming a location

Once the number of the module to be programmed has been entered, the Ar med LED on the keypad will illuminate while it is waiting for a programming location to be entered.

Note: If an attempt is made to program an invalid entry for a particular segment, the keypad sounder will emit a triple error

beep, and remain in that segment waiting for a valid entry.

To enter a location, enter the location number (1 to 13) and press #. The Armed LED will flash. If the location is valid, the Armed LED will extinguish, the Ready LED will illuminate, and the zone LEDs will show the data for the first segment of this location.

To change location data, enter the changed data. The Ready LED will flash to indicate a data change in progress and will continue until the data is saved. Press * to save the new data. The keypad will advance to the next segment and display its data. These steps are repeated until the last segment is reached.

To exit a location, press #. The Ready LED will extinguish. The Armed LED will illuminate waiting for a new programming location to be entered.

T o review the data, enter the location number and press #. The Armed LED will flash. If the location number is valid, the Armed LED will extinguish, the Ready LED will illuminate, and the zone LEDs will show the binary data for the first segment of this location. Press * to display the next segment data. Each time you press *, the data of the next segment will be displayed for review.

Exit program mode

Press Exit to exit this programming level. Press Exit a second time to completely exit programming.

LCD keypad programming

All steps required for programming are the same as those described for the LED keypad. The LCD keypad display will prompt you for the data required. While in 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.

Programming data

Programming data is either numerical data, or feature selection data.

Numerical data

T o program numerical data, enter a number from 0 to 255 on the numeric keys of the keypad. To view the data in a location, a binary process is used. With this process, the LEDs for zones 1 through 8 are used, and the numeric equivalents of their illuminated LEDs are added together to determine the data in a programming location. The numeric equivalents of these LEDs are as follows:

Zone 1 LED = 1 Zone 3 LED = 4 Zone 5 LED = 16 Zone 7 LED = 64 Zone 2 LED = 2 Zone 4 LED = 8 Zone 6 LED = 32 Zone 8 LED = 128

For example, if the numerical data to be programmed in a location is “66”, press 6 6 on the keypad. The LEDs for Zone 2 and Zone 7 will illuminate indicating 66 is in that location (2 + 64 = 66). Once the data is programmed, press * to enter the data and advance to the next segment of that location.

After the last segment of a location is programmed, press * to exit that location, turn the Ready LED off, and the Armed LED on. 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 waiting for a valid entry.

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 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 LEDs 1 through 8 as you press the keys, indicating that those features are enabled.

Note: On LCD keypads, the numbers of the enabled features will be displayed. However, the features not enabled will display

a hyphen (-).

After you select the desired setting for this segment, press * to 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 * to enter the data, you will exit that location. The Ready LED will turn off and the Armed LED will turn on. You are now ready to enter another programming location.
