The NX-E Series Receiver Modules (8-zone NX-408E, 16zone NX-416E, and 48-zone NX-448E) add wireless capabilities to the Caddx
®
NetworX NX-4, NX-6, NX-8, and
NX-8E control panels. Adding a receiver module makes
these control panels compatible with NX wireless transmitters and keychain touchpads (keyfobs).
The receiver modules mount inside the control panel cabinet and require just three wire connections for power and
data communications to the motherboard.
Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when installing receiver modules:
❑Leave at least 10" above the control panel for the mod-
ule’s antennas.
❑Avoid areas that are likely to expose the module to
moisture.
❑Avoid areas with excessive metal or electrical wiring,
including furnace and utility rooms.
Installing the Receiver Module
The following steps describe mounting the circuit board
edge guide standoff, securin g the module to the ca binet, and
inserting the antennas.

Installation Instructions
1.After mounting the control panel cabinet, install the
ground plane screws, washers, and nuts (included) in
the holes on top of the cabinet (see Figure 1).

2.Install the circuit board edge guide standoff in the
lower mounting hole, in either of the two spaces
located just to the left of the motherboard (see Figure
2). Do not tighten the standoff at this time.

You must be free of static electricity before handling
circuit boards. Touch a bare metal surface or wear a
grounding strap to discharge yourself.

3.Install the module into the cabinet by turning the standoff sideways, then sli de the mo dul e up onto t he g rou nd
plane screw posts (see Figure 3).

4.Turn the standoff so the slot is facing up, insert the
back corner of the module into the standoff slot, then
press up at the front of the standoff and tighten the
standoff screw.
5.Insert the antennas through the holes on top o f the cabinet and into the module antenna sockets (see Figure 4).
Wiring, Module Number DIP Switch
Settings, and Power Up
The following steps describe wiring the module to the control panel, setting the module number DIP switches, and
powering up the control panel.
1.Remove power (if applied) from the control panel.
&$87,21
To avoid possible equipment damage or personal
injury, remove power from the control panel before
making any wiring connections to the module.
2.Connect the module power and data terminals to the
control panel power and data te rminal s us i ng 2 2-gau ge
or larger, stranded wire (see Figure 5).

Special Settings for Door/Window Transmitters
Use the following guidelines when setting features 4 and 5
for door/window transmitters and wireless smoke detectors.
❑Feature 4—Input Option 1
For door/window transmitters, turn on thi s feature to
disable the transmitter’s internal reed switches.
For wireless smoke detectors with tamper switches, turn on
this feature to enable the tamper feature.
Note
Feature 4—Input Option 1, must be off (disabled) when
using wireless smoke detectors without tamper switches.
❑Feature 5—Input Option 2
For door/window transmitters that use a normally open
external contact, leave this feature off (N/O).
For door/window transmitters that use a normally
closed external contact, turn this feature on (N/C).
Light and Star Buttons on 4-Button Keyfobs
When using 4-button keyfobs, turning on Input Option 1
(feature 4) changes the light button to Keyfob Function 1.
Turning on Input Option 2 (feature 5) changes the star button to Keyfob Function 2. These functions can be used to
control relays, outputs, or X-10 devices.
This section describes the following programming steps:
❑Determine Programming Settings—provi des tables to
record wireless transmitter and partition settings .
❑Enroll the Module—sets up the module to be super-
vised by the control panel.
❑Program the Module—puts the module into program so
you can program zone bank settings, transmitters, and
enter the settings for transmitters and partitions.
Determine Programming Settings
When programming wireless transmitters into the mod ule,
there are various options and partitions you can set for each
transmitter. These settings appear in segments of each programming location.
Use “T able 3: Module Programming Settings” on pages 3 7 to record zone assignments and settings. Be sure to circle
the module type in the location column to help identify
where each zone resides; RM = receiver module, HE =
hardwire expander, P = panel. This gives you all the programming information in one place and helps speed up the
programming process.
Zone Locations 1 - 192
Zone locations 1 - 192 are not numbered in Table 3 since
these locations vary depending on location 194—Receiver
Zone Bank Setting (see page 8).
For example, if location 194 is set to 3, the first available
location is 25. The total number of available locations is
dependant on the zone limits for both the pan el and receiver.
Note
The default settings shown fo r Se gm ents 1 and 2 in the
first zone location apply to all zone locations.
