The NetworX “Operator” is a microcomputer controlled telephone interface module that may be added
to NetworX control panels. The “Operator” converts any TouchTone telephone to a system keypad and
allows system functions to be accessed via telephone on-premise or off-site. There are 48 separate
zone descriptions that may be programmed to fit the owner’s needs. In addition, the “Operator” will
control up to thirty-two X-10 modules (requires only one X-10 Pro PSC04 Interface Module per NetworX
system) with programmable descriptions for each. Each zone/output description is programmable using
the 182-word Library List found on page 8.
ACCESSING THE OPERATOR
FROM A PROTECTED SITE: The “Operator” may be accessed from any TouchTone phone. Press
[r][r][r] to activate.
FROM AN OFF-SITE PREMISE: Call the phone number of the protected site. When the phone is
answered, press [#][#][#] within the first 8 seconds. If a person or device such as a fax/answering
machine answers the call, the “Operator” will come on the line when the person or machine hangs up.
Otherwise, the “Operator” will automatically answer the call after it hears a pre-designated number of
rings as programmed in location 0. The answering machine defeat function can be programmed in
location 179 on page 6. The “Operator” will prompt for a valid user code: “Please enter your code”.
N NOTE: These access codes (rrr and ###) are programmable and can be changed in locations 177
and 178. Refer to page 5.
ENTERING THE PROGRAM MODE: The program mode is accessed through the keypad of a
TouchTone phone by pressing [r][8] once the “Operator” answers. The [r] accesses the main MENU,
and [8] accesses the programming mode.
If accessing from the protected site, the “Operator” will now prompt for a program code: “Enter
your code”. (Factory default code is [9][7][1][3]. You are now in the Program Mode and ready
to select the module to program.
If accessing from an off-site premise, when the “Operator” prompts for a code, enter the download
access code (Factory default code is 84800000). NOTE: Location 179 must be enabled for this
function.
The “Operator” will now prompt for the module: “Enter expander number followed by pound [#]”.
SELECTING THE MODULE TO PROGRAM: The module you are programming should be the first
entry. To program the “Operator”, enter [4][0][#]. The [4][0] is the module number of the
“Operator” and the [#] is the entry key. Other module numbers can be found in their corresponding
manuals.
The “Operator” will now prompt you for a location to program: “Enter location number followed by pound [#]”.
PROGRAMMING A LOCATION: Once the number of the module has been entered, any programming
location can be accessed by directly entering the number of that specific location followed by [#].
EXITING A LOCATION: After the last segment of a location has been programmed, pressing [r] will
exit that location. The [r] key must be pressed or the data will not be saved. To exit before the last
segment, press [#]. As before, you are now ready to enter another programming location.
Page 2
EXITING THE PROGRAM MODE: When all the desired changes in programming have been made, it is
time to exit the Program Mode. Press [9][3][0][#] from a remote phone or [EXIT] [EXIT] from the
keypad.
LOADING THE FACTORY DEFAULTS
To load the factory defaults, enter the Program Mode using the procedure described above, then type
[9][1][0][#]. The loading takes approximately 10 seconds.
N Load factory defaults: [9][1][0][#]
Exit program mode: [9][3][0][#] from remote phone or [EXIT] [EXIT] from keypad
ENROLLING
The NetworX control panels have the ability to automatically find and store in their 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
NetworX “Operator” module, enter the Program Mode as previously described. When the Program
Mode is exited, the NetworX 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. If a speaker is attached to the control panel, it will click at this time. If a
siren or bell is attached to the control panel, it will sound for about 1 second. Once a module is
enrolled, if it is not detected by the control, the “Service” LED will illuminate.
PROGRAMMING THE ZONES AND X-10 OUTPUTS
Location 0 Rings to Answer (2 segments - numerical data)
Segment 1 contains the number of rings the NetworX “Operator” will wait before answering the
telephone. Valid entries are 0-15, where 0 disables.
These locations contain the programming data for voice descriptions (characteristics) of zones 1 - 48.
Each of the 48 locations/zones has a programmable message of 8 words maximum for each location.
The NX-540E is compatible with the NX-8E control panel. However, zones 49-192 do NOT
have custom zone descriptions. The interface module will simply state the zone number,
i.e. “Zone 49” to “Zone 192”.
Location 49 contains the programmable data for voice description (characteristic) of X-10 Output #1.
This location allows a programmable message of 8 words maximum.
Location 50 is used to select the particular function, zone number and time for X-10 Output #1 to trip.
Segment 1 (EVENT) Selects the event that will trigger the X-10 output. Refer to the chart
on the next page for the specific events that can be selected.
Segment 2 (ZONE/USER) Selects the zone or user number necessary to trigger the X-10
output. If this location is programmed as a zero “0”, any zone or
user will activate the X-10 output.
Segment 3 (TIME) Selects the amount of time the X-10 output will remain activated
when triggered. If this location is programmed as a zero “0”, the X10 output will follow the particular event.

Locations 53 - 176 X-10 Address for Outputs 2-32
Locations 53 through 176 are used to program X-10 Outputs #2 through 32. Each output has four
locations that are programmed using the same steps as X-10 Output #1 described previously. These
locations contain the following:
1) Description (Refer to the instructions in Location 49)
2) Event / Zone, User / Time (Refer to the instructions and table in Location 50)
3) Special Functions / Partitions (Refer to the instructions in Location 51)
4) X-10 Module / House Address (Refer to the instructions and tables in Location 52)
For example, X-10 Output #2 is programmed in Locations 53 – 56 while X-10 Output #32 is
programmed in Locations 173 – 176. Refer to the programming worksheets beginning on page 9.

telephone (On-Site). The factory default is 11, 11, 11 = [r][r][r].
This location contains the three or four-digit code used to access the “Operator” away from the
premise telephone (Off-Site). The factory default is 12, 12, 12 = [#][#][#].

entered after the premise phone line is picked up. If the answering machine defeat is enabled in
Location 179, even if someone answers the phone the “Operator” is still waiting for the code. Factory
default is 3 seconds.

through 176. Program a number from 1 to 32 corresponding to the output you desire for Schedule 1.
See corresponding output “Special Functions”, options #4 (closed schedule) and #5 (open schedule).
These locations contain Schedules 2 though 32. Each Schedule has four locations, which program the
Opening Time, Closing Time, Days and Function respectively. For example, Schedule 2 is programmed
in locations 193 through 196; and Schedule 32 is programmed in locations 313 through 316. Refer to
instructions of locations 189 – 192, and programming worksheets for more details.
