104 NX-8E Control Panel Installation Manual
Fail to communicate
The NX-8E illuminates the Service LED if a report fails to reach
the central station. If enabled, when the next report is
successfully communicated, a fail to communicate code is
reported. (Location 37)
Fire alarm verification
When enabled, the NX-8E verifies a fire alarm by requiring more
than one trip on a smoke detector within a specified time before
creating an alarm (Location 40)
Note: This feature is not approved for residential use in
California.
Force arming
When enabled, the NX-8E is force armed with zones violated.
Under this condition, if a force-armable zone is not secure, the
Ready LED flashes. At the end of the exit delay, these zones
become bypassed. If these zones become secured any time
during the arming cycle, they are unbypassed and active in the
system. If bypass report is enabled, the force arming zones
report bypass when they are force armed (default), or to not
report bypass even if bypass report is enabled. (Locations 37
and 110 to 169)
Group bypass
You can program a designated group of zones to bypass by
pressing Bypass, 0, Bypass, Bypass prior to arming (Location
110 to 169)
Immediate restore by zone
If programmed, the NX-8E sends alarm and restore reports as
soon as they occur, otherwise the NX-8E waits until the siren
time expires. (Locations 37 and 40)
Keypad activated panics
The NX-8E has three keypad activated panics that send reports
to the central station: auxiliary 1 (fire), auxiliary 2 (medical), and
keypad panic. Auxiliary 1 activates the temporal (fire) siren,
auxiliary 2 sounds the keypad, and keypad panic is silent or
audible (sounds). (Location 23)
Keypad sounder control
If programmed, the NX-8E sounds the keypad sounder for
certain events. (Location 39)
Keypad tamper
If enabled, the NX-8E disables the keypad for 60 seconds and
communicates a tamper signal to the central station if 30
keypresses are entered without producing a valid code.
(Location 23)
LED extinguish
This feature extinguishes all LEDs on the keypad, except the
Power LED, after 60 seconds without a keypress. Pressing any
numeric key illuminates all LEDs. (Location 23)
Local programming lockout
This feature disables programming of all locations or specified
location from the keypad (can only be activated via download).
(Location 21)
Log full report
A report is sent to the central station when the event log is full.
(Location 37)
Lost clock service light
If programmed, the NX-8E illuminates the Service LED when
the internal clock has an invalid time due to power loss.
