For UL installations, the Class II, Class III, and power-limited fire alarm circuits must be installed using FPL,
FPLP, FPLR, CLIII, CLIIIR, or CLIIIP, or substitute cable permitted by National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFP A 70. If you have Class II, Class III, and power-limited fire alarm circuit conductors that extend beyond the
cable jacket, separate the wires by a 0.25 in. from all other conductors or use nonconducting tubing.
Installation
There are several two-holed insertion points inside the enclosure so you can install the module either
horizontally or vertically. The insertion points have a large hole and a smaller hole.
To mount the board in an enclosure, see Figure 1 and do the following:
1. Place a black plastic PCB guide in the top insertion point, grooved edge downward. The half-moon
protrusion will be in the large hole. Do not use excessive force.
2. Insert one of the included 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 other PCB guide opposite the first (grooved edge up) and placed in the lower insertion
point, using the same procedure. Once you mount the guide, screw it in securely.
4. Slide the board into the grooves of both guides. The PC board should slide freely.

Installation Manual
LEDs
The power supply module has four red LEDs to provide status information. See Figure 2 and Table 5 for
locations and descriptions of the LEDs.
Table 5. LED connections
LED Board ID Description
LED 1 DS1 Flashes when data is transmitted from the NX-320E.
LED 2 DS2 Flashes when data is transmitted into the NX-320E.
LED 3 DS3 Flashes during normal operation.
LED 4 DS4 Glows dimly when connected to the NetworX panel. (See Specifications on page 19).
Enrolling
The NetworX control panel can locate and store the presence of keypads, zone expanders, and wireless
receivers, and other modules connected to the data terminal. This allows these modules to be supervised by the
control panel. T o enroll the modules, enter NetworX control panel program mode and then exit program mode.
The panel automatically enrolls the devices. The process takes about 12 seconds. During this time, the Service
LED illuminates and you cannot enter user codes. If you enroll a module that the system cannot detect, the
Service LED will illuminate.
Programming
You can use an LED keypad or LCD keypad to program the module.
Using an LED keypad
To program the module with an LED keypad, do the following:
1. Enter *, 8. All of the function key LEDs will begin to flash.
2. Enter the Go To Program code (default is 9713). If the code is valid, the Service LED will flash, and
the function LEDs will illuminate steadily , indicating you should enter the device to program.
3. T o enter a module address, press 8, 6, # (See Table 4 on page 7). The Armed LED will illuminate while
it is waiting for a programming location to be entered.
4. Enter the programming location followed by the # key. The Armed LED will begin to flash. If this is a
valid location, the Armed LED will extinguish, the Ready LED will il luminate, and the binary data for
the first segment of this location will appear on the Zone LED.
5. To change the data, enter the data followed by the * key. The location will automatically increment to
the next segment. The data for that segment will display . Repeat the procedure until the system reaches
the last segment.

6. To exit this location without changing the data, press the # key.
7. To review the data, press the * key but do not enter the data. Each time you press *, the next segment
displays. After you program the last segment for a location, press * to exit that location. The system
will turn the Ready LED off and the Armed LED on. As before, you are now ready to enter another
programming location.
Note: If you attempt to program an invalid entry for a particular segment, the keypad sounder will emit a triple-beep and
remain in that segment until there is a valid entry.
8. To enter another location, do one of the following:
• Enter the location number followed by the # key.
• Press Police for the next location.
• Press Fire for the previous location.
• Press Auxiliary for the same location.
9. Press Exit to exit this module. Press Exit again, to completely exit program mode.

Installation Manual
Programming data
When you program data, you set numerical data or feature selection data.
Numerical data. Use the numeric keys of the system keypad with a number from 0 to 255. The system
uses a binary process, so to view the data, look at the LEDs for zones 1 through 8 and see which ones are
illuminated. When you add the illuminated LEDs together , you get the programming location. The numeric
equivalents of these LEDs include the following:
Zone 1 LED = 1
Zone 2 LED = 2
Zone 3 LED = 4
Zone 4 LED = 8
For example, if you want to program 66 in a location, press 6, 6 on the keypad. The LEDs for Zone 2 and
Zone 7 will illuminate, which indicates 66 is in that location (2 + 64 = 66). Once you program the data,
press the * key to enter the data and advance to the next segment for that location. After the last segment of
a location is programmed, you can press the * key to exit that location and turn the Ready LED off and the
Armed LED on. You can now enter another programming location. If you attempt to program a number
that is too large, the keypad sounder will emit a triple-beep and will await a valid entry.
Feature selection data. Feature selection data will display the current condition (on or off) related to the
eight features associated with the programming location and segment you selected. Press a button on the
touchpad (1 to 8) that corresponds to the f ea t ure number within a segment you require. That feature
number will illuminate (feature on). Press the number again, and the LED will extinguish (feature off). You
will see that you can select numerous features from within one segment. For instance, if you require all
eight segments, press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. LEDs 1 through 8 will illuminate as you press the keys, to
indicate that those features are enabled.
Zone 5 LED = 16
Zone 6 LED = 32
Zone 7 LED = 64
Zone 8 LED = 128
Using an LCD keypad
The steps to programming using an LCD keypad are identical to Using an LED keypad on page 9. The only
difference is that the LCD keypad will prompt you for the data required. In programming mode, the number in
parentheses is the location you previously changed. For example, if the display reads Enter location,
then # (2), the system is telling you that Location 2 was the last location you programmed. In feature
selection data, the numbers of the enabled features are displayed. The features not enabled will include a
hyphen (-).
Programming locations
Location 0 - event and time for output A. This location has two segments of numerical data. To
program the event and time set the following:
• Segment 1. Select the event that triggers Output A. See Table 6 for events you can trigger.
• Segment 2. Select how long an output will remain activated when an output triggers. For a location
that is programmed as zero, the output will follow the event.

Location 16 - codes 81 to 90, output enable. This location has 10 segments of feature selection data.
When you activate outputs with a user code (event #30), you can use Location 16 to restrict certain codes
from activating certain outputs. Segment 1 corresponds to user 81; Segment 10 corresponds to user 90. The
LEDs correspond to outputs A to C (see Table 8 on page 13.)
Location 17 - codes 91 to 99, output enable. This location has nine segments of feature selection data.
When you activate outputs with a user code (event #30), you can use Location 17 to restrict certain codes
from activating certain outputs. Segment 1 corresponds to user 91; Segment 9 corresponds to user 99. The
LEDs correspond to outputs A to C (see Table 8 on page 13).
Location 18 - A/C delay and dynamic battery test. This location has two segments of feature selection
data. Use this location to enable the A/C delay and the dynamic battery test, both of which are timed in
minutes. The factory default is 5-0, meaning the A/C power will be off for 5 minutes before a report is sent
or a Service light will illuminate, and the dynamic battery test is disabled (0 minutes). If you want the A/C
delay to be 8 minutes and the dynamic battery test to be 3 minutes, you would program 8, 3.
Location 19 - device options. This location has eight segments of feature selection data. Use this location
to enable various system features of the power supply module. The LEDs are described in Table 9.
Table 9. Output enable
LED Description
