62  NX-8E Control Panel Installation Manual 
The siren does not work. 
The control panel has a built in siren driver. If the system uses self-contained 
sirens instead of speakers, go to Location 37, Segment 2, and turn  on bit 1. This 
converts the driver output to voltage output. 
The interior zones are bypassing themselves. 
By default, auto bypass is on in Location 23, Segment 1, bit 3. When this bit is 
on, and the panel is armed and an entry  zone is not violated during exit time, the 
panel assumes that the occupant has not left and bypasses the interior zones to 
prevent false alarms. Turn  off Location 23, Segment 1, bit 3. 
An open zone will not clear. 
Take the zone out of all partitions. For example,  to delete zone 9: 
1.  Go to Location 28, Segment 1, and disable any bits that are on. 
2.  Press * to save. 
3.  Exit programming. 
Cell backup module does not work. 
The NX-8E can only  enroll one bus device other than  keypads. If  the installation 
requires wireless and a cell module, use an NX-148E-RF keypad with a built-in 
receiver and the cell module. The panel enrolls the NX-148E-RF as a keypad 
rather than  a receiver, allowing it to enroll the cell module correctly.
