VII.  ENROLLING THE EXPANDER  
The NetworX control panels have the ability to automatically find and store in memory the presence of all keypads, 
zone expanders, wireless receivers and any other module connected to the data terminal. (Refer to Compatibility 
chart on the back of this manual). This allows these modules to be supervised by the control panel. To enroll the 
modules enter the Program Mode of the control panel (refer to the installation manual for the specific control panel). 
When the Program Mode is exited, it will automatically enroll the devices. The enrolling process takes about 12 
seconds, during which time the “Service” LED will illuminate. User codes will not be accepted during the enrolling 
process. Once a module is enrolled, if it is not detected by the control, the “Service” LED will illuminate. 
VIII.  DEFAULT ZONE CONFIGURATIONS 
Zones can be programmed to be one of thirty different zone configurations (zone types). Configurations # 17 
through 20 can be used for wireless or hardwired zones using European double EOL configuration. The default 
zone configurations are listed below.  These zone configurations can be customized by programming locations 110 
to 169. 
 All Fire Zones are pre-programmed for UL systems. 
 Zone Types 21-30 are applicable to the NX-8E and NX-8E-CF control panels ONLY. 
 The expander zones will not follow the Fast Loop Response.
