GE/CADDX
NX-8e
INTRODUCTION
This Application Note describes how to interface a JDS STARGATE controller to a GE/CADDX NX-8, NX-6 or NX-4 or NX-8e
security system. The NX-8 can be expanded to 48 zones maximum. The NX-8e can be expanded to 192 zones maximum.
STARGATE supports the first 64 zones.
STARGATE takes full advantage of all GE/CADDX security functions including:
•
Arm or disarm the system
•
Home and Away modes
•
Bypass or Unbypass zones
•
Turn the keypad chime mode on and off
•
Monitor and act upon partition and zone changes
•
Automatically set the alarm panel’s clock
•
Track the status of the security system
•
Detect alarm conditions
•
Detect zone trouble conditions
•
User Number

The GE/CADDX NX-8, NX-6 or NX-4 requires the optional NX-584 serial interface in order to communicate with Stargate.
The GE/CADDX NX-8e requires a P0003 adaptor kit to provide a serial connection.
Support for GE/CADDX NX panels requires Version 3.00 (or higher) Firmware/Software for the JDS STARGATE controller.
The GE/CADDX NX panel connects to COM2 or COM3 of STARGATE.
The typical configuration consists of the GE/CADDX NX-8 security panel w/ NX-584 serial interface or NX-8e security panel
with P0003 adaptor kit and at least one GE/CADDX LCD type keypad (for alarm system programming and backup for alarm
system control).
