I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NetworX NX-584 is a low cost add-on module that fits neatly into any NetworX family system
enclosure and provides a standard RS-232 bi-directional DB-9 connector for connection to a home
automation host system. A simple three-wire connection to the main control is all that is required to
fully integrate this card into the system.
The NX-584 has several levels of security that can be programmed in at the time of installation to
allow as much or as little security system information to be passed to the host system. It can also be
set to limit the commands that will be accepted from the host system to prevent unauthorized
attempts to override the security system status.
The unit can be easily configured for communication in an ASCII or Binary protocol. A selectable
baud rate can be set from 600 baud to 76.8k baud with hardware RTS and CTS handshaking. The
ASCII implementation is easy to use and debug with standard programming tools while the Binary
version is a more efficient for method for transferring information between the two systems. The
system integrator can select any number of events or conditions to cause the NX-584 to send the
relevant information to the host without polling. This allows for a faster response to activity than
polling alone can provide.
All security system information can be requested at anytime if enabled to do so by the installer. This
is useful at system initialization and at periodic intervals to keep the two systems in sync without
worrying about missing any transitional event. This information is organized as System, Partition,
Zones and Outputs. System information will contain such information as power status, phone line
condition, module troubles, and other system wide condition. Partition information includes readiness
of all zones assigned, armed state, entry / exit delays, last user number, alarm condition and many
other conditions within a specific partition. Zone information includes faults, alarm memory, bypasses,
troubles, tampers, low batteries, missing and partition assignments. Output messages include
commands that can be passed to or from devices in X-10 compatible format.

ENCLOSURE DIAGRAM
Inside the can, several 2-holed insertion points have been
constructed. This allows for either vertical or horizontal placement of
the modules. Notice that the insertion points have two sizes of
holes -- a larger hole and a smaller hole.
Diagram 1
: The black plastic PCB guides are grooved on one edge
where the PC Board will be seated. The end with the half-moon
protrusion fits into the larger hole. The smaller hole is for the screw.
Diagram 2
: Place the first black plastic PCB guide in the top insertion
point, grooved edge downward. The half-moon protrusion will be in
the large hole. It does not require force. Insert one of the provided
screws into the smaller hole (from inside 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. The second PCB guide should be
positioned opposite of the first (grooved edge up) and placed in the
lower insertion point, using the same procedures described above.
Once mounted, screw it in securely.
Diagram 3
: The PC board should slide freely in the grooves of both
guides.

ENROLLING THE MODULE
The NetworX control panels have the ability to automatically find and store in memory the presence
of all keypads, zone expanders, wireless receivers, output modules, and any other device on the
keypad buss. This allows these devices to be supervised by the control panel. To enroll the devices,
enter the Program Mode using the procedure outlined in the control panel Installation Manual. When
the Program Mode is exited, the NX-8 control will automatically enroll the devices. The enrolling
process takes about 12 seconds, during which time the AService@ 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 AService@ LED will illuminate.

VI. PROGRAMMING THE MODULE
A. USING THE LED KEYPAD
To enter the Program Mode:
Enter [r]-[8] (all of the function key LEDs will begin to flash).
Enter the "Go To Program" code (default is [9]-[7]-[1]-[3]). If the code was valid, the
Service LED will flash, and the function LEDs will illuminate steady, indicating the device
to program should be entered.
Enter the address of the NX-584, which is [7] [2] followed by [#]. At this point, the Armed LED
will illuminate while it is waiting for a programming location to be entered.
Enter the desired programming location followed by the [#] key.
The Armed LED will begin to flash while a programming location is being entered. If this
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 on the zone LEDS.
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 [AUXILIARY] key.
To change the data, enter the data followed by [r].
The data will be entered, and the location will automatically increment to the next
segment. The data for that segment will be displayed. This procedure is repeated until
the last segment is reached.
To exit this location without changing the data, press the [#] key.
To review the data, repeat the above procedure, pressing the [ r] key without entering data first.
Each time the [r] key is pressed, the next segment is displayed. 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 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.
To exit the Program Mode, press the [Exit] key to exit this programming level. Pressing the
[Exit] key again will exit the Program Mode.
B. U
SING THE LCD KEYPAD
All steps required for programming are the same as the aforementioned LED keypad. The LCD
keypad display will prompt you for the data required. While in the programming mode, and not in a
location, the number in parenthesis is the location you were previously changing. For example, if the
display reads "Enter location, then # (2)", it is reminding you that location 2 was the last location you
programmed. In feature selection data, the numbers of the enabled features will be displayed. The
features not enabled will display a hyphen (-).
VII. PROGRAMMING DATA
Programming data is always one of two types. One type of data is numerical, which can values from
0 -15 or 0-255 depending on the segment size. The other type of data, feature sel ection data , is used
to turn features on or off. Use the following procedures with these two data types:
NX-584 Home Automation

Numerical Data: Numerical data is programmed by using the numeric keys of the system keypad to
LED INDICATIONS
DS1
DS3
DS4
DS5
DS6
enter a number from 0-255. 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 = 1 Zone 3 LED = 4 Zone 5 LED = 16 Zone 7 LED = 64
Zone 2 LED = 2 Zone 4 LED = 8 Zone 6 LED = 32 Zone 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). 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.
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 through 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 through 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 s egment, pres s 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.
