Abort - If enabled, the NX-8E will wait the programmed number of seconds in location 40 prior to sending an alarm.
During this delay time, the "Cancel" LED will flash. To abort the report, type in a code and press the [Cancel] key. The
LED will extinguish. If the report is not aborted within the allotted time, the LED will extinguish when the report is sent.

pages 23 and 33-37)
AC Fail / Low Battery Report/Warning- The NX-8E can be programmed to report AC failure and/or Low Battery
conditions to the central station. It can also be programmed to sound the keypad immediately upon detection of the
condition. The AC failure report/warning can be delayed. (See locations 37 and 39, page 22)
AC Power / Low Battery Sounder Alert- If enabled, the NX-8E will beep the keypad sounder upon arming or
disarming if the AC power is missing or a low battery has been detected. (See location 23, page 18)
Arm / Disarm Codes - The NX-8E can have 240 four-digit codes or 160 six-digit codes to arm/disarm the control. All
codes must have the same number of digits. The factory default for User #1 is [1]-[2]-[3]-[4] when using a 4-digit code,
or [1]-[2]-[3]-[4]-[5]-[6] for a 6-digit code. This code can then be used to enter the new arm/disarm codes. (See
location 41, page 23)
Automatic Arming - If programmed, the NX-8E will Auto Arm at a specified time. At this time, the keypad will beep for
50 seconds before the panel arms. The arming process will be stopped if a code is entered on the keypad. The NX-8E
will attempt to arm after every 45 minutes of inactivity until the next “opening” time (loc. 52), or until the system is
armed. The 45-minute timer will be extended when there is activity in the building causing the "Ready" LED to turn off
and on. If closing reports are sent, the user code will be 97. (See locations 23, and 52-55, pages 18 and 26) NOTE:
For UL installations, this feature shall be disabled.
Auto Cancel / Abort - If enabled, the Cancel and/or Abort features will be automatic (pressing the [Cancel] button is
not required). The Cancel and Abort features, in locations 23 and 40 respectively, must be enabled to permit this Auto
feature to work. For proper operation of these features,

of locations 110-169 Zone Types. (See location 41, page 23)
Automatic Bypass / Instant Arming - When enabled, the control panel can automatically bypass interior follower
zones if an exit is not detected during the exit delay time. Entry delay zones can also be made instant.
(See location 23, segments 1 and 3, page 18)
Auto Test- This feature will cause the panel to call the central station to report a communicator test at a specified
interval. (See location 51, page 26)
Auxiliary Outputs- The NX-8E has four programmable outputs that can be used to activate relays, LED
=
s, etc. (See
the terminal description on page 67 and locations 45-50, pages 24-25)
Auxiliary Power Overcurrent- The NX-8E will illuminate the "Service" LED on the keypad whenever too much
current is drawn from any device powered by the system. This condition can be reported to the central station.
(See location 37, page 22)
Box Tamper- The NX-8E has an input for a normally closed tamper switch (see terminal drawing). The Box Tamper
can be programmed to report and/or sound the siren and/or the keypad. These terminals can be enabled or disabled
in programming. (See locations 37 and 39, page 22)
Built In Siren Driver - The NX-8E has a built-in 112db-siren driver. When desired, this built-in driver can be easily
converted to a 1-amp voltage output through programming. (See location 37, page 22)
Bypass Toggle- This feature will enable the end user to toggle (turn on or off) the bypass of an interior zone with the
system armed by pressing the [Bypass] key. (See location 23, page 18)
Call Back- When enabled, the control will use the call back phone number to call the download computer before
beginning a download. (See location 21, page 18)
Cancel - If enabled, the NX-8E will send a "Cancel" report if when the system is disarmed and the [Cancel] button is
pressed within 5 minutes of an alarm. Once the [Cancel] key is pressed, the "Cancel" LED will illuminate until the
central station acknowledges the "Cancel" report.
