NX-4 Control
FEATURE DEFINITIONS
Abort
If enabled, the NX-4 will wait the programmed number of seconds in location 40 prior to sending an alarm. During
this delay time, the "Cancel" LED will flash. To abort the report, type in a code and press the [Cancel] key. The
LED will extinguish. If the report is not aborted within the allotted time, the LED will extinguish when the report is
sent. (Loc. 40 and 110-149, pages 18 and 24)
AC Fail / Low Battery Report/Warning
The NX-4 can be programmed to report AC failure and/or Low Battery conditions to the central station. It can also
be programmed to sound the keypad immediately upon detection of the condition. The AC failure report/warning
can be delayed. (Loc. 37 and 39, page 17 - 18)
AC Power / Low Battery Sounder Alert
If enabled, the NX-4 will beep the keypad sounder upon arming or disarming if the AC power is missing or a low
battery has been detected. (Loc. 23, page 16)
Arm / Disarm Codes
The NX-4 can have 8 four-digit codes OR
same number of digits. The factory default for User #1 is [1]-[2]-[3]-[4] when using a 4-digit code, or [1]-[2][3]-[4]-[5]-[6] for a 6-digit code. This code can then be used to enter the new arm/disarm codes. (Loc. 41,
page 19)
Automatic Arming
If programmed, the NX-4 will Auto Arm at the time specified in location 53. At that time, the keypad will beep for
50 seconds before the panel arms. The arming process will be stopped if a code is entered on the keypad. The NX4 will attempt to arm after every 45 minutes of inactivity until the next Aopening@ time (loc. 52), or until the system
is armed. The 45-minute timer will be extended when there is activity in the building causing the "Ready" LED to
turn off and on. If closing reports are sent, the user code will be 97. (Loc. 23, and 52-55, pages 16 and 21.
NOTE: For UL installations, this feature shall be disabled.
Automatic Bypass / Instant Arming
When enabled, the control panel can automatically bypass interior follower zones if an exit is not detected during
the exit delay time. Entry delay zones can also be made instant. (Loc. 23, segments 1 & 3, page 16)
Auto Cancel / Abort
If enabled, Cancel and/or Abort features will be automatic (means pressing the Cancel button is not required.) The
Cancel / Abort features, in Locations 23 and 40 respectively, must be enabled to permit this Auto feature to work.
For proper operation of these features, ADialer Delay@ must be enabled in ACharacteristic Select@ of Locations 110-
149 Zone Configuration Groups. (Loc. 41, page 19)
Auto Test
This feature will cause the panel to call the central station to report a communicator test at a specified interval.
(Loc. 37 - Seg. 4, and Loc. 51, pages 17 and 20)
Auxiliary Outputs
The NX-4 has two programmable outputs that can be used to activate relays, LED=s, etc. (See the terminal
description on page 37 and locations 45-50, pages 19-20)
Auxiliary Power Over-current
The NX-4 will illuminate the "Service" LED on the keypad whenever too much current is drawn from any device
powered by the system. This condition can be reported to the central station. Power down the system to clear.
(Loc. 37, page 17)
Box Tamper
The NX-4 has an input for a normally closed tamper switch (see terminal drawing). The Box Tamper can be
programmed to report and/or sound the siren and/or the keypad. These terminals can be enabled or disabled in
programming. (Loc. 37 and 39, page 17)

Bypass Toggle
This feature will enable the end user to toggle (turn on or off) the bypass of an interior zone with the system armed
by pressing the [Bypass] key. (Loc. 23, page 16)
Call Back
When enabled, the control will use the call back phone number to call the download computer before beginning a
download. (Loc. 21, page 16)
Cancel
If enabled, the NX-4 will send a "Cancel" report if when the system is disarmed and the [Cancel] button is pressed
within 5 minutes of an alarm. Once the [Cancel] key is pressed, the "Cancel" LED will illuminate until the central
station acknowledges the "Cancel" report. ADialer Delay@ must be enabled in the ACharacteristic Select@ of Loc. 110-
149. (Loc. 23, page 16)
Code Required Options
The NX-4 can be programmed to require a code for bypassing zones and/or initiating a download using the [r]-[9]-
[8] or [r]-[9]-[9] function. (Loc. 23 and 41, pages 16 and 19)
Communication Formats
The NX-4 can report in multiple formats. It is recommended that you use Contact ID or SIA formats if possible. If
you wish to report to a pager or in a 4+2 format to a central station, you must program each code to be reported.
(Loc. 56-83 and 111-149, pages 22-25)
Configuration Groups
The NX-4 has 20 programmable configuration groups that determine how each zone will function and report. The
default configuration groups (Zone Types) are listed on page 25. (Loc. 111-149, pages 24-25)
Cross Zoning
This feature requires two or more trips on a zone or zones programmed as "cross zones" within a specified time
before reporting an alarm. During the time between trips, the NX-4 can be programmed to sound the keypad
and/or the siren. The NX-4 can also be programmed to report an alarm after two or more trips on the same zone.
The NX-4 can send communication reports to three different phone numbers for dual, split or multiple reports
selectable by event. (Loc. 4, 10, and 16, pages 13-15)
Duress Code
If a duress code is programmed, the NX-4 will send a duress signal whenever the panel is armed or disarmed with
this code. If open/close reports are sent, the user code will be 254. (Loc. 44, page 19)
Dynamic Battery Test
The NX-4 can be programmed to perform a Dynamic Battery Test for a selected duration the first time the panel is
armed or disarmed every day, as well as by pressing [t][4] Test Function. The NX-4 can also be programmed to
perform a missing battery test every 12 seconds. (Loc. 37 and 40, pages 17 and 18)
Entry-Guard
This unique low level arming mode has been developed to reduce the most common source of false alarms. When
armed with the Instant light on, the opening of any zones designated as "Entry Guard zone" will initiate the keypad
sounder and start the entry delay before creating an alarm. All other zones will function as normal. This arming
mode will encourage system owners to use their system more frequently when the premise is occupied. (Loc. 111-149, pages 24-25 NOTE: For UL installations, this feature shall be disabled.

NX-4 Control
Exit Error
If enabled, the NX-4 will send an "Exit Error Report" if an entry/exit zone is faulted at the instant the exit delay
expires. This report will be sent along with the user number that armed the system, if the panel is not disarmed
before the entry delay expires. The alarm report will also be sent. Even if this feature is not enabled, the siren will
sound if any entry/exit zone is faulted at the instant the exit delay expires. (Loc. 23, page 16)
Expander Trouble
The NX-4 will report expander trouble to the central station if enabled. This condition will illuminate the "Service"
LED on the keypad even if not reported. NOTE: The keypads are considered expanders. The number of the
expansion devices reported can be found on page 35. (Loc. 37, page 17)
Fail to Communicate
The NX-4 will illuminate the "Service" LED if a report fails to reach the central station. If enabled, when the next
report is successfully communicated, a Fail to Communicate code will be reported. (Loc. 37, page 17)
Fire Alarm Verification
When enabled, the NX-4 will verify a Fire alarm by requiring more than one trip on a smoke detector within a
specified time before creating an alarm. NOTE: For household systems, the Fire Alarm Verification feature is NOT
approved for use in California. This feature shall not be programmed into the control unit. (Loc. 40, page 18)
Force Arming
When enabled, the NX-4 can be Force Armed with zones violated. Under this condition, if a force armable zone is
not secure, the "Ready" LED will flash. At the end of the exit delay, these zones will become bypassed. If these
zones become secured any time during the arming cycle, they will be unbypassed and active in the system. If
"Bypass Report" is enabled, the force arming zones can be programmed to report bypass when they are Force
Armed (default), or to not report bypass even if "Bypass Report" is enabled. (Loc. 37, and 111-149, pages 17
& 24-25 NOTE: For UL installations, this feature shall be disabled
Group Bypass
A designated group of zones can be programmed to bypass by pressing [Bypass]- [0]-[Bypass]- [Bypass] prior
to arming. (Loc. 111-149, pages 24-25 NOTE: For UL installations, this feature shall be disabled
Immediate Restore By Zone
The NX-4 can be programmed to send alarm and restore reports as soon as they occur, or wait until the siren time
has expired. (Loc. 37, page 17)
Internal Event Log
Up to 185 events can be stored in memory along with the date and time of the event. These events can later be
viewed through downloading or on the LCD keypad. All reportable events report to the log.
Keypad Activated Panics
The NX-4 has three keypad activated panics that will send reports to the central station: Auxiliary 1 (Fire), Auxiliary
2 (Medical), and Keypad Panic. Auxiliary 1 will activate the steady (Fire) siren, Auxiliary 2 will sound the keypad,
and the Keypad Panic can be programmed to be silent or audible (sound siren). (Loc. 23, page 16)
Keypad Sounder Control
The NX-4 can be programmed to sound the keypad sounder for certain events. (Loc. 39, page 18)
Keypad Tamper
If enabled, the NX-4 will disable the keypad for 60 seconds and communicate a tamper signal to the central station
if 30 keypresses are entered without producing a valid code. (Loc. 23, page 16)
LED Extinguish
This feature will extinguish all LED=s on the keypad, except the "Power" LED, after 60 seconds without a keypress.
Pressing any numeric key will illuminate all LED=s. (Loc. 23, page 16)

The four zones on the NX-4 panel can be disabled in order to have a completely wireless alarm system. (Loc. 37,
page 17)
Program Code
The factory default for the "Go To Program" code is [9]-[7]-[1]-[3] when using a 4-digit code or, if the 6-digit
option is used, the default is [9]-[7]-[1]-[3]-[0]-[0]. The program code can also be used as an Arm/Disarm code.
If used as an Arm/Disarm code, and open/close reports are sent, the user code will be 255. (Loc. 43, page 19)
Quick Arm Feature
The NX-4 has a one button "Quick Arm" feature which can be used to arm the system by pressing the [Exit] key or
the [Stay] key. If closing reports are sent, the user code will be 98. (Loc. 23, page 16)
Recent Closing
If enabled, the NX-4 will send a "Recent Closing Report" to the central station if an alarm occurs within 2 minutes
after the panel is armed. The user number that armed the system will also be sent. (Loc. 23, page 16)
Re-exit
The NX-4 has the ability to restart the exit delay for a quick exit without disarming the system by pressing the
[Exit] key while the system is armed. (Loc. 23, page 16)
Shutdown
This mode will cause the keypads to turn off all LED=s, except the "Power" LED, and not accept keypresses. (Loc.
21, page 16)
Siren Blast For Arming
The NX-4 can be programmed to give a one-second siren blast when the panel is armed, at the end of the exit
delay, or when the central station receiver acknowledges the closing report. It can also give one blast for wireless
arming and two blasts for wireless disarming. (Loc. 37, page 17)
Siren Supervision
The NX-4 has a ASiren Supervision@ circuit that will constantly monitor the siren on the NX-4 and can be
programmed to report if the wires are cut. (Loc. 37, page 17)
Silent Exit Option
The exit delay can be silenced by pressing [r]-[Exit] before arming the control panel, or when using the re-exit
feature.
Start/End Programming and End Downloading
A report can be sent when local programming is started and ended. A report can also be sent when a download
session ends. (Loc. 37, page 17)
Page 6
NX-4 Control
Swinger Shutdown
This feature allows a zone(s) to be automatically bypassed after a specified number of alarms. When a zone is
tripped, the alarm ‘counter’ reflects “1” in memory. If a new (first) alarm is detected in a different zone, the
counter remains at “1”. If an alarm is detected on a previously tripped zone, the count increments to “2”. The
‘counter’ will increment each time an alarm is detected on a zone with multiple trips. Bypassing will occur on the
zone that causes the count to equal the number programmed in location 38; the ‘counter’ will reset to zero (0); and
begin a new trip count where the next alarm will set the ‘counter’ to 1. If immediate restore is enabled in location
37, the alarms (and restores, if enabled) will be sent as they occur. If immediate restore is not enabled, a second
or subsequent alarm will not be sent until the siren times out. Factory default is 1. (Loc. 37 and 38, page 17)
Temporal Siren Disable
If disabled, the Fire Siren will be steady and Fire Voltage Out will be the same as Burglary (continuous). Otherwise,
the Fire Siren will be temporal. (Loc. 37, page 18 NOTE: For UL installations, do NOT disable
Two Call Answering Machine Defeat
If enabled, to defeat an answering machine, two telephone calls must be made to the premises. On the first call, let
the phone ring one or two times. The control panel will detect these rings and start a 45-second timer, during
which, the control panel will answer the next call on the first ring. This is not recommended for commercial
applications. (Loc. 21, page 16)
Walk-Test Mode [r] [Chime]
If enabled, entering [r] [Chime] followed by a user code will allow a walk-through zone test where all zones
become silent and local (non-reporting). Each time a zone is faulted, the zone light on the LED keypad will
illuminate and the chime will sound. The number of the faulted zone(s) will be displayed on the LCD keypad. It will
also be entered into alarm memory and the internal log. To exit at any time during this mode, enter a user code.
Otherwise, the AWalk-Test Mode@ will automatically exit after 15 minutes. (Loc. 41, page 19)
Wireless Sensor Missing/Low Battery
The NX-4 will send a report to the central station when a wireless sensor has detected a low battery or has not
reported to the receiver. The "Service" LED will illuminate when either condition exists. (Loc. 37, page 17)
Zone Bypassed Sounder Alert
If this feature is enabled, the NX-4 will beep the keypad sounder upon arming if a zone is bypassed. (Loc. 23,
page 16)
Zone Doubling (Requires additional devices)
Zone doubling can only be enabled when at least one other device is added to the basic system (consisting of
the main control panel and one keypad). Additional devices can include wireless receivers, extra keypads,
etc. If enabled, this feature allows you to use the four zones on the panel as eight normally closed zones.
When this feature is used, European double E.O.L. configuration cannot be used. THIS FEATURE DOES NOT INCREASE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF AVAILABLE ZONES BEYOND 8. If one of the eight zones must
be a fire zone, it must be one of Zones 1 - 4. The corresponding upper zone will become unavailable. For
example, if Zone 4 is a fire zone, then Zone 8 will not be available. (Loc. 37, page 17)

PROGRAMMING THE NX-4 CONTROL
ENTERING THE PROGRAM MODE: To enter the Program Mode, press [r]-[8]. At this time, the five function LEDs
(Stay, Chime, Exit, Bypass, & 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 LEDs will
illuminate steady. You are now in the Program Mode and ready to select the module to program.
SELECTING THE MODULE TO PROGRAM: Since all modules connected to the NX-4 are programmed through the
keypad, the module you are programming should be the first entry. To program the NX-4 Control Panel, enter [0][#]. The [0] is the module number of the control and the [#] is the entry key. Other module entry numbers can be
found in their corresponding manuals.
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 binary data for the first segment of
this location will be shown by the zone LED's. 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 [r] key. Upon
pressing the [r] 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 [r] key without any
numeric data entry. Each time the [r] 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 [r] will save the data, exit that
location, turn the "Ready" LED off and the "Armed" LED on. To exit before the last segment, press [#]. 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.
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 go 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.
PROGRAMMING DATA
Programming data is always one of two types. One type of data is numerical and can take on values from 0 -15 or 0 255 depending on the location's segment. The other type of data is a feature selection type. Feature selection data is
used to turn features on or off. Use the following procedures when working with these two data types:
NUMERICAL DATA: Numerical data is programmed by entering a number from 0-255 on the numeric keys of the
system keypad. 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 = 1Zone 2 LED = 2Zone 3 LED = 4Zone 4 LED = 8
Zone 5 LED = 16Zone 6 LED = 32Zone 7 LED = 64Zone 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). See this example on page
10. Once the data is programmed, press the [r] 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 [r] 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.
On the LCD keypad, the number in the location will be displayed. For locations with a maximum of 15, the
hexidecimal equivalent will be displayed in parenthesis. Example: 11 (B) or 14 (E).

Pressing [#] will exit a

Press the key on the numeric keypad that corresponds to the feature you wish to enable/disable. When an LED is
“on, a feature is enabled; when “off” the feature is disabled. For example: With the 1, 5, & 7 LEDs “on”, Quick Arm,
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 thru 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 thru 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 [r] 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 [r] 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.
To load the factory defaults, enter the program mode using the procedure on page 10, then type [9]-[1]-[0]-[#]. The
keypad will beep 3 times indicating that the loading is in progress. The loading takes about 6 seconds.
For supervision purposes, the NX-4 has the ability to automatically find and store in its memory, the presence of all
keypads, zone expanders, wireless receivers, and any other module connected to the data terminal. This allows these
modules to be supervised by the control panel. To enroll the modules, enter the Program Mode of the NX-4 control
panel as described on page 10. When the Program Mode is exited, the NX-4 control will automatically enroll the
devices. The enrolling process takes about 12 seconds, during which time the "Service" LED will illuminate. User codes
will not be accepted during the enrolling process. Once a module is enrolled, if it is not detected by the control, the
"Service" LED will illuminate.
CONTROL PANEL PROGRAMMING LOCATIONS
(Note: Various locations have been intentionally omitted. Any attempts to access these locations will
LOCATION 0 - PHONE NUMBER 1 (20 segments, numerical data)
The first telephone number is programmed in location 0. A "14" indicates the end of the phone number. Delays of four
seconds can be programmed at any point in the phone number by programming a "13" in the appropriate segment. If
tone dialing is desired, program a "15" in the segment where tone dialing should begin. If the entire number should be
tone dialing, program a "15" in the first segment. Program an A11" for a Ar@, and a A12" for a A#@. Caution: A callwaiting cancel on a non- call waiting line will prevent successful connection to the central station.
LOCATION 1 - ACCOUNT CODE FOR THE PHONE #1 (6 segments, numerical data)
The account code sent when Phone #1 is dialed is programmed in location 1. Program a A10" in the segment
immediately after the last digit of the account code. If the account code is 6 digits long, program all 6 segments.
LOCATION 2 - COMMUNICATOR FORMAT FOR PHONE #1 (1 segment, numerical data)
Location 2 contains the communicator format used to transmit to the receiver connected to Phone #1. Consult the
instructions for your central station receiver to determine which format is compatible. Select a format from the list on
the following page. If you require a format other than those listed, review the override options described in location
18, to build the appropriate format. A "15" must be programmed in location 2 in addition to the entries in location 18
in order to create a special format. If this location contains a "0", the built-in communicator will be disabled, and the
NX-4 will function as a local only control.
LOCATION 3 - DIAL ATTEMPTS/BACKUP CONTROL FOR PHONE # 1 (2 segments, numerical data)
Segment 1- Dial attempts: Location 3, Segment 1 is used to enter the number of dial attempts (1 to 15 Attempts)
the communicator will make to Phone #1 before ending the notification process. Factory default is "8" and the
communicator will make eight (8) attempts to the first number.
Segment 2- Phone #1 Backup Control: Programming a "0" in Segment 2 of this location will cause the NX-4 to
make the designated number of attempts to Phone #2 before setting the "Fail To Communicate" condition and stop
reporting. Programming a "1" in this segment will cause the NX-4 to stop trying to communicate after the designated
number of attempts have been made to Phone #1. If a "2" is programmed in this segment, it will cause the NX-4 to
make the dial attempts in increments of two. The first two attempts will be made to Phone #1, the next two attempts
to Phone #2, then repeating until the total number of attempts designated in Segment 1 is completed.
