NX-216E Zone Expander

I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The NX-216E is a microprocessor-controlled 16-zone expander for the NetworX NX-8, NX-8E, and NX-8-CF
control panels. Up tofive NX-216E zone expander modules can beadded to the NX-8or NX-8-CF controlpanels
with a maximumzone count of 48 zones.Up to twenty-three expanders canbe added to the NX-8Econtrol with a
maximum zone count of 192 zones. Each expander has an optional tamper switch and power isolator making it
ideal for use in a remote location.

II. BOARD INSTALLATION

Inside the can, several 2-holed insertion points have been
constructed. This allows foreither vertical orhorizontal placement
of the modules. Notice that each insertion point has two sizes of
holes -a larger hole and a smaller hole.

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

insertionpoint, grooved edge downward. The half-moonprotrusion
will be in the large hole. It does not require force. Insert one of the
provided screw intothe smaller hole(from insidethe can) tosecure
it in place. A screwdriver should reach through the notch thatruns
the length of the guide to tighten the screw. The second PBC
guide should be positioned opposite the first (grooved edge up)
and placedin the lowerinsertion point,using the sameprocedures
described above. Once mounted, screw it in securely.

Connect to the KP POS terminal of the control panel. Current draw is 30 mA.
Connect to the KP COM terminal of the control panel.
Connectto the KPDATA terminalof thecontrol panel. (See the wiringdiagram forwire specifications)

Can be used to power devices directly from the NX-216E. Power is coming from the control panel
therefore the currentdraw of these devices must beadded to the total current drawof the NX-216E.
This output is current limited to 100 mA.
Connect to one side of zone 9 loop. Connect the other side to COM terminal. Open or short causes
alarm. (See wiring diagram for examples)
Common (-) terminal for zones 9 & 10.
Connect toone side of zone10 loop. Connect theother side to COMterminal. Open or shortcauses
alarm. (See wiring diagram for examples).
Connect as described for Z9 & Z10.
