Keypad Sounder Control- The NX-8 can be programmed to sound the keypad sounder for certain events. (See
location 39, page 23)
Keypad Tamper- If enabled, the NX-8 will disable the keypad for 60 seconds and communicate a tamper signal to the
central station if 30 keypresses are entered without producing a valid code. (See location 23, page 19)
Keyswitch Arm/Disarm - Any zone on the NX-8 can be programmed as a keyswitch zone. If this is done, a
momentary short on this zone will arm/disarm the control. If opening/closing reports are sent, the user code will be 99.
(See "Default Zone Types", page 20)
LED Extinguish- This feature will extinguish all LED=s on the keypad, except the "Power" LED, after 60 seconds
without a keypress. Pressing any numeric key will illuminate all LED=s. (See location 23, page 19)
Local Programming Lockout- This feature will disable programming of all locations or specified locations from the
keypad. (See location 21, page 18)
Log Full Report- A report can be sent to the central station when the event log is full. (See location 37, page 23)
Lost Clock Service Light- The NX-8 can be programmed to illuminate the "Service" LED when the internal clock has
an invalid time due to power loss. (See location 37, page 23)
Manual Test- The NX-8 can be programmed to perform a bell and/or communicator test when [ ]-[4] is entered while
the system is in the disarmed state. (See location 37, page 23)
On Board Zone Disable- The eight zones on the NX-8 panel can be disabled in order to have a completely wireless
alarm system. (See location 37, page 23)
Partitions - The NX-8 can be partitioned into a maximum of eight separate systems with distinct reporting codes, user
codes, and operating features for each system. (See locations 26 - 36, pages 21 - 22)
Program Code - The factory default for the "Go To Program" code is [9]-[7]-[1]-[3] when using a 4-digit code or, if the
6-digit option is used, the default is [9]-[7]-[1]-[3]-[0]-[0]. The program code can also be used as an Arm/Disarm code.
If used as an Arm/Disarm code, and open/close reports are sent, the user code will be 255. (See location 43, page
24)
Quick Arm Feature - The NX-8 has a one button "Quick Arm" feature which can be used to arm the system by
pressing the [Exit] key or the [Stay] key on the keypad. If closing reports are sent, the user code will be 98. (See
location 23, page 19)
Recent Closing - If enabled, the NX-8 will send a "Recent Closing Report" to the central station if an alarm occurs
within 2 minutes after the panel is armed. The user number that armed the system will also be sent. (See location
23, page 19)
Re-exit - The NX-8 has the ability to restart the exit delay for a quick exit without disarming the system by pressing
the [Exit] key while the system is armed. (See location 23, page 19)
Shutdown- This mode will cause the keypads to turn off all LED=s, except the "Power" LED, and not accept
keypresses. (See location 21, page 18)
Siren Blast For Arming- The NX-8 can be programmed to give a one second siren blast when the panel is armed, at
the end of the exit delay, or when the central station receiver acknowledges the closing report. It can also give one
blast for remote (keyswitch) arming and two blasts for remote disarming. (See location 37, page 23) Note: Remote
arming shall not be enabled in SIA classified installations.
Siren Supervision - The NX-8 has a ASiren Supervision@ circuit that will constantly monitor the siren on the NX-8
and can be programmed to report if the wires are cut. (See location 37, page 23)
Silent Exit Option - The exit delay can be silenced by pressing [ ]-[Exit] before arming the control panel or when
using the re-exit feature.
Start/End Programming and End Downloading- A report can be sent when local programming is started and
ended. A report can also be sent when a download session ends. (See location 37, page 23)
Swinger Shutdown - This feature allows a zone or zones 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
“2”. The ‘counter’ will increment each time an alarm is detected on a zone with multiple trips. Bypassing will occur on
the zone that causes the count to equal the number programmed in location 38; the ‘counter’ will reset to zero (0); and
