GENERAL INFORMATION
The NX-216 is a microprocessor-controlled 16 zone expander for the NX-8 control panel.
Up to five NX-216 expanders can be added to the NetworX control panel with a maximum
zone count of 48 zones. Each expander has an optional tamper switch and powe r isolator
making it ideal for use in a remote location.
ORDERING INFORMATION
For detailed ordering information and part numbers, please refer to the EMEA Distribution
price list of the Caddx product range.

INSTALLING THE NX-216
The first thing that must be decided is the starting zone of this particular zone expander.
The starting zone must be on a boundary of eight (8) zones. The sixteen (16) zones then
move out from this starting position. There are stick-on zone labels to indicate the zone
numbers that you select. To set the starting zone, set the DIP switch according to the
table below:
Note: the position of all switches is only updated when the NX-216 is powered up.
Before you change the position of these switches you must power down the
expander.
Starting zone
number
9 OFF OFF OFF 22
9 ON OFF OFF 23
17 OFF ON OFF 16
25 ON ON OFF 17
33 OFF OFF ON 18
41 ON OFF ON 19
DIP switch 4: DIP switch 4 is used to disable the second block of eight (8) zones on this
zone expander. This can be done if only an eight (8) zone expander is required in a
particular expander location. In this case, up to 5 expanders can be added to the system
creating a total of 48 zones. To disable the second group of eight (8) zones on this
expander, turn DIP switch 4 on.

ENROLLING THE NX-216 EXPANDER
For supervision purposes, the presence of all keypads, zone expanders, wireless
receivers, and any other modules connected to the data terminal can automatically be
found and stored in the NX-8’s memory. This allows the control panel to supervise these
modules. To enroll the modules, enter the program mode for the NX-8 control panel as
described in the paragraph of this manual. 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.

PROGRAMMING THE NX-216 EXPANDER MODULE
Programming the NX-216 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 NX-8 are programmed through the keypad, the
module you are programming should be the first entry. To program the NX-216 module,
enter the address of the NX-216, followed by [#]. See DIP switch chart on previous page.
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.
