Introduction

The NX-548E Receiver adds wireless capabilities to the NetworX line of control panels. Adding a receiver makes these control panels compatible with NX wireless transmitters.

Only three wire connections are required for power and communication to the control panel.

4. Use the mounting screw provided to loosely install the edge guide standoff in the lower mounting hole in the appropriate space to the left of the control panel (Figure

For internal mounting, mount the receiver inside the control panel enclosure. Use the following installation guidelines:

• Leave at least 10 in. (25 cm) above the control panel for the receiver’s antennas.

• Avoid areas that expose the receiver to moisture.

• Avoid areas with excessive metal or electrical wiring, including furnaces and utility rooms.

To mount the receiver, do the following:

1. Remove the appropriate knockouts on the top of the control panel enclosure for the antenna shrouds.

2. Assemble the antenna shrouds and fit the black O-rings to the bottom of each shroud.

Tools and supplies needed

To complete the installation, you will need the following tools and supplies:

• Screwdrivers;

• Drill with bits;

• Mounting screws and anchors (included); and

• 3-conductor, 22-gauge (0.65 mm) or larger, stranded wire.

Mounting

The module can be mounted on any interior wall (protected from the elements). To mount the module, do the following:

Edge guide standoff

External mounting

This installation uses enclosure model NX-569 (600-1029-03). The module comes as a kit that is assembled in the field. Use the following installation guidelines:

• Allow at least 10 in. (25 cm) of clearance above the enclosure for the antennas.

• Use the wire length guidelines in Table 1

Table 1. Wire lengths Wire gauge

(shielded or unshielded)

22 AWG (0.65 mm) 250 feet (76 m)

18 AWG (1.02 mm) 500 feet (152 m)

Maximum wire length between module and panel

• Install the module in its own plastic enclosure. It should not be installed inside the panel’s enclosure.

1. Remove the module back plate from the packaging.

2. Hold the base against the mounting surface and mark the two mounting holes and the wire access hole as shown in

Figure 6

. Remember to leave at least 10 in. (25 cm) above

the back plate for the antennas.

Note: The wire access hole is molded into the plastic so

that you can access the wire, yet keep it hidden from the back plate.

5. Secure the back plate to the wall with the pan head

screws provided.

6. To assemble the antenna shrouds, attach the proper

number of sections together, then attach the top cap.

7. Install each antenna shroud on top of the back plate.

8. Remove the transceiver circuit board from the antistatic bag

Caution: You must be free of static electricity before handling

circuit boards. Touch a bare metal surface or wear a grounding strap to discharge yourself.

9. To install the circuit board onto the back plate (Figure 7),

insert the antennas into the antenna shrouds, then gently slide the top of the circuit board under the two top latches, and snap the circuit board in at the bottom latch to secure it in place.

Power up

When you apply power to the control panel, the green (power) LED on the receiver (Figure 8 seconds. Table 3 describes the receiver status based on LED conditions. The lower red LED at the bottom of the receiver (Figure 8

This gives you all the programming information in one place to facilitate the programming process.

Zone locations 1 to 192

Zone locations 1 to 192 are not numbered in Table 5

since these locations vary depending on location 194, Receiver zone bank setting.

The default settings shown for segments 1 and 2 in the first zone location apply to all zone locations.

Add transmitters

LCD touchpads will display instructions when accomplishing tasks.

To add transmitters, do the following:

This section describes how to program the units.

Programming guidelines

Use the following programming guidelines:

• NX-4 and NX-6 control panels can have receivers added with zones that overlap those contained in the control panel. No hardware expanders can be used.

• NX-8 control panels can have expansion zones (hardwire or wireless) set the same as those contained in the control panel. To do this you must disable the onboard control panel zones in panel location 37. All zone expansion modules must not overlap any blocks of 8 zones.

• All other control panels can have wireless zones added to any zone. If a hardwire input (on either the control panel or hardwire expander) is also present on the same zone as an enabled wireless zone, the wireless transmitter takes priority.

Transmitter programming

When programming wireless transmitters into the receiver, you can set various options and partitions for each transmitter. These settings appear in segments of each programming location.

Use Table 5 to circle where each zone resides:

Receiver module

to record zone assignments and settings. Be sure

1. Enter * 8 at the keypad. On LED touchpads, the five function lights start flashing.

2. Enter the program code (factory default is 9 7 1 3). On LED touchpads, the service light flashes and the five function lights change from flashing to on steady.

3. Enter the DIP switch setting module number and press #. On LED touchpads, the Armed LED turns on, indicating the control panel is waiting for a programming location entry.

4. For new installations, enter 9 1 0 # to load factory defaults and clear any unwanted information in memory.

5. For new installations, set the receiver zone bank setting in location 194 to determine the starting zone number for the specific receiver. This applies only to NX-8E. This must be set before learning sensors. For example, if location 194 is set to 3, the first available location is 25. The total number of available locations depends on the zone limits for both the panel and receiver.

6. Enter 0 # to enter the sensor learning location. On LED touchpads, the Ready LED turns on and the Armed LED turns off.

7. Enter the zone number (1 through 192) and press *. Three beeps from the keypad indicate an entry error. This occurs if you enter a transmitter number that is not within the receiver’s zone block or if the location already has a sensor learned into it.

Note: If you change your mind about your entry, terminate

programming by entering 0 # 0 * and start over at step 6.
