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 21)
Siren Supervision - The NX-8 has a
A
Siren 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 21)
Silent Exit Option - The exit delay can be silenced by pressing [
r
]-[Exit] before arming the control panel or when
using the re-exit feature. The exit delay can also be silenced permanently in all partitions. (See location 37, page 21)
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 21)
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
begin a new trip count where the next alarm will set the ‘counter’ to 1. If immediate restore is enabled in location 37,
the alarms (and restores, if enabled) will be sent as they occur. If immediate restore is not enabled, a second or
subsequent alarm will not be sent until the siren times out. (See location 37 and 38, page 21) NOTE: For UL
installations, this feature shall be disabled.
Telephone Line Monitor - The NX-8 has a Telephone Line Monitor that monitors the voltage and current of the
telephone line for a detection of a faulted phone line. This condition can also be reported to the central station. If the
report is enabled, only the Telephone Line Restore will be reported unless the NX-870 is being used. (See locations
37, 39, and 40, pages 21-22)
Temporal Siren Disable - If disabled, the Fire Siren will be steady and Fire Voltage Out will be the same as Burglary
(continuous). Otherwise, the Fire Siren will be temporal. (See location 37, page 21) NOTE: For UL installations,
do NOT disable.
Tone Sniff Answering Machine Defeat- If enabled, only one call is required to defeat the answering machine. To use
this feature you must have a Hayes 1200 Smart Modem or a Caddx 1200 module. From the computer, call the panel
as normal. When the answering machine answers, the panel will hear the tones from the modem and seize the phone
line for a download. (See location 21, page 16)
Two Call Answering Machine Defeat - If enabled, to defeat an answering machine, two telephone calls must be
made to the premises. On the first call, let the phone ring one or two times. The control panel will detect these rings
and start a 45 second timer, during which, the control panel will answer the next call on the first ring. This is not
recommended for commercial applications. (See location 21, page 16)
Walk-Test Mode - If enabled, entering [
r
] [Chime] followed by a user code will allow a walk-through zone test where
all zones become silent and local (non-reporting). During this test the chime light will flash on the LED keypad. Each
time a zone is faulted, the zone light on the LED keypad will illuminate and the chime will sound. The number of the
faulted zone(s) will be displayed on the LCD keypad. It will also be entered into alarm memory and the internal log.
To exit at any time during this mode, enter a user code. Otherwise the
A
Walk-Test Mode
@
will automatically exit after
15 minutes. (See location 41, page 22)
Wireless Sensor Missing/Low Battery - The NX-8 will send a report to the central station when a wireless sensor
has detected a low battery or has not reported to the receiver. The "Service" LED will illuminate when either condition
exists. (See location 37, page 21)
Zone Bypassed Sounder Alert- If this feature is enabled, the NX-8 will beep the keypad sounder upon arming if a
zone is bypassed. (See location 23, page 17)
Zone Doubling - This feature allows you to use the eight zones on the panel as sixteen normally closed zones. When
this feature is used European double E.O.L. configuration cannot be used on the first sixteen zones. THIS FEATURE
DOES NOT INCREASE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF AVAILABLE ZONES BEYOND 48. If one of the sixteen zones
must be a fire zone, it must be one of Zones 1 to 8. The corresponding upper zone will become unavailable. For
example, if Zone 6 is a fire zone, then Zone 14 will not be available. (See location 37, page 21)
Zone Types (Configurations) - The NX-8 has 20 programmable Zone Types that determine how each zone will
function and report. The default Zone Types are listed on page 18. (See locations 111-149, pages 33-36)
