To enter program mode:
1. Press *, 8. The five function LEDs (Stay, Chime, Exit, Bypass, and Cancel)
begin flashing.
2. Enter the go to program code (default 9, 7, 1, 3). If the go to program code
entry is valid, the Service LED flashes, and the five function LEDs illuminate.
You are now in program mode and can select the module to program.
Select the module to program
Since all modules connected to the NX-8E are programmed through the keypad,
the module you are programming should be the first entry. To select the module
to program, enter 0, #. The 0 is the module number of the control, and # is the
entry key. You can find other module entry numbers in the module
documentation and in Table 16 on page 70.
Once you enter the module number, the Armed LED illuminates, indicating it is
waiting for you to enter a programming location.
To program a location:
1. To access any location, enter the desired programming location, followed by
#. If the location is a valid location, the Armed LED extinguishes, the Ready
LED illuminates, and the binary data for the first segment of the location is
shown by the Zone LEDs.
While entering new data, the Ready LED begins flashing to indicate a data
change in process.
2. Press * to store the newly entered data. The keypad advances to the next
segment and displays its data. Repeat this procedure until the last segment is
reached.
3. To move to another location after exiting a location (Armed LED illuminated):
Press the Police (badge) key for the next sequential location.
Press the Fire (flame) key for the previous location.
Press the Emergency (cross) key for the same location.
4. To review the data in a specific location, repeat the procedure, pressing * but
with no numeric data entry. Each time you press *, the programming data of
the next segment displays.
To exit the current programming location:
1. Press *. The Ready LED goes off and the Armed LED goes on. You must
press * to save the data.

You are now ready to enter another programming location. If you attempt to
program and invalid entry for a particular segment, the keypad beeps three times
indicating an error and remains in that segment awaiting a valid entry.
To exit program mode:
1. When you have completed all programming, press Exit to leave the selected
module.
2. If there is another module to be programmed, select it by entering its address,
followed by #. The procedure for programming devices is the same as for the
control panel, except the locations are for the module selected.
3. If no additional modules are to be programmed, press Exit again to leave
program mode.
Programming data types
There are two types of programming data (only one is used for any segment):
• Numerical. Used to enter values from 0 to 15 or 0 to 255, depending on the
location’s segment.
• Feature selection. Used to turn features on or off.
Numerical data
Program numerical data by entering a number from 0 to 255 on the numeric keys
of the system keypad. To view the data in a location, a binary process is used.
The binary process uses the LEDs for zones 1 to 8. To determine the data in a
programming location, the binary process adds the lighted LEDs numeric
equivalents together. The LEDs numeric equivalents are:
For example, if 33 is programmed in a location, the LEDs for zone 1 and zone 6
illuminate, indicating 33 is in that location (1 + 32 = 33).
If you attempt to program a number too large for a particular segment, the
keypad beeps three times, indicating an error and remains in that segment
awaiting a valid entry. On the LCD keypad, the number in the location displays.
For locations with a maximum of 15, the hexadecimal equivalent displays in
parenthesis (F).

Chapter 2: Reporting codes
Feature selection data
Feature selection data displays the current condition (on or off) for eight features
associated with the programming location and segment selected. Pressing a
button on the touchpad (1 to 8) that corresponds to the feature number within a
segment toggles (on/off) that feature. You can select numerous features within
one segment.
To enter feature selection data:
1. Press a numeric key from 1 to 8 to select the feature. The corresponding LED
illuminates (feature is on).
2. Press the number again, and the LED extinguishes (feature is off).
3. If you want to select all eight features of a segment, press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
LEDs 1 to 8 illuminate as you press the keys indicating that those features are
enabled. The features not enabled display a hyphen (-) on an LCD touchpad.
4. After selecting the desired settings for features in the segment, press * to
enter the data and advance to the next segment of the location.
Note: When you are in the last segment of a location and press * to enter the
data, you exit that location. This turns the Ready LED off and the Armed LED on.
You are now ready to enter another programming location.
Loading factory defaults
To load factory defaults, enter program mode, enter the device address and
number, and then enter 9, 1, 0, #. The keypad beeps three times indicating that
loading is in progress. The process takes about 6 seconds. You cannot exit the
location until loading is completed.
Enrolling modules and keypads
The NX-8E automatically finds and stores all keypads, zone expanders, wireless
receivers, and other modules connected to the data terminal into the NX-8E
memory. This allows these modules to be supervised by the control panel.
To enroll the modules:
1. Enter program mode and program the desired settings for each module.
2. When you exit program mode, the NX-8E automatically enrolls the devices.
The enrolling process takes about 12 seconds, during which time the Service
LED illuminates. If a speaker is attached to the NX-8E, it clicks at this time. If
a siren or bell is attached to the NX-8E, it sound for about 1 second. If the
module is not detected, the Service LED illuminates.
Note: User codes are not accepted during the enrolling process.
