Starting Zone

This feature is used when the keypad zone LEDs must correspond to different control panel zones. Let=s say you have a
16-zone system with two 8-zone partitions. Each partition can utilize an 8­starting zone in each keypad. In this example, zones 1-8 reside in partition #1, and zones 9-16 reside in partition #2.
The starting zone for partition #1 keypads would be 1 and the starting zone for partition #2 keypads would be 9.

(Programming the LED Keypads, pg. 8)

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
time an alarm is detected on a zone with multiple trips. Bypassin

been denied access to that partition.)

Enter [r]. This returns you back to step 2 above. At this point you may enter another user number to
assign attributes for. Continue this procedure until you have assigned authority levels to all users.

Press [#] key to exit the Assigning Authority Level Program.

NOTE: Any master arm/disarm code can add or change a user code if the master code has access to the
same partitions as the code being added/changed. Consequently, when programming the user codes for a
partitioned system, leave at least one code (can be "Go to Program code" if enabled in location 43) with
access to all partitions or you will not be able to add new users. If you desire the end user to be able to add
new codes, you must remove the partition authority from all blank codes.

PROGRAMMING DATA

Programming data is always one of two types. One type of data is numerical and can use 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 throu
numeric equivalents of their illuminated LED=
numeric equivalents of these LED=s are as follows:

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. On the LCD keypad, the number in the location will be displayed. For locations with a maximum
of 15, the hexadecimal equivalent will be displayed in parenthesis. Example: 11 (B) or 14 (E).

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
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.

LOADING FACTORY DEFAULTS

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.

ENROLLING MODULES AND KEYPADS

For supervision purposes, the NX-6 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-6 control panel
as described on page 10. When the Program Mode is exited, the NX-6 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 NX-6, it will click at this time. If a siren or bell is
attached to the NX-6, 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.

CONTROL PANEL PROGRAMMING LOCATIONS

(Various locations intentionally omitted. Attempts to access these reserved locations will cause the

keypad to sound an error beep.)

LOCATION 0

The first telephone number is programmed in location 0. A "14" indicates the end of the phone number. Delays of 4
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#@.

LOCATION 1

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

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-6
will function as a local only control.

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-6 to
make the designated number of attempts to Phone #1 and #2 before setting the "Fail To Communicate" condition and
stop reporting. Programming a "1" in this segment will cause the NX-6 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-6 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.

DESCRIPTION

LOCATION 4

Phone #1 has two programming locations that are used to select which events are reported to this phone number.
Location 4 is used to select which events are reported to Phone #1. Location 5 is used to select which partitions are
reported to Phone #1. If dual or split reporting is not desired, location 4 should be used to select all events to Phone
#1 and location 5 should be left at the factory default of "0". If dual or split reporting is desired, and the split is based on
the event type (such as alarm, open/close, etc.), location 4 should be used to select only those events that should be
reported to Phone #1 and location 5 should be left at the factory default of "0". If dual or split reporting is desired, and
the split is based on partition, location 4 should be programmed as a "0" and location 5 should be used to select those
partitions that should be reported to Phone #1. If no events should be reported to Phone #1, both locations should be
programmed as "0" (disabling all options). Use Table 1.1 on page 14 to identify the events to be reported for

Phone #1.
