B. USING THE LCD KEYPAD
All steps required for programming are the same as the aforementioned LED keypad. The LCD keypad
display will prompt you for the data required. While in the programming mode, and not in a location, the
number in parenthesis is the location you were previously changing. For example, if the display reads
"Enter location, then # (5)", it is reminding you that location 5 was the last location you programmed. In
feature selection data, the numbers of the enabled features will be displayed. The features not enabled
will display a hyphen (-).
C. PROGRAMMING DATA TYPES
a) Numerical Data
Numerical data can take on values from 0-255 or 0-15 depending on the segment
size.
b) Feature Selection
Feature selection data is used to turn features on or off.
VII. ADDING/DELETING USER CARDS
Adding and deleting users is done through a combination of entering information at the keypad and
scanning cards. Before a card can be entered, one reader on the system must be programmed with User
Card Programming enabled (Location 242, Segment 1, Option 1, page 11). It is recommended that only
one reader on the system be enabled to add/delete user cards and that this reader be located near a
keypad. This reader will transfer information to all other readers in the system once programming is
finished. Once a reader is enabled to add/delete users, it must be placed into one of the three following
modes: 1)AddOneUser;2) Add Multiple Users (or Add User w/ Auto-Increment), and 3) Delete One
User. Adding and/or deleting users on a card reader is similar to modifying user codes at a keypad.
MUST BE A MASTER USER IN ORDER TO ADD OR DELETE USERS.

If the code is valid, the Ready LED will flash.
User Number 2 is used to program user cards, so…

NX-4, NX-6, or NX-8
if the control is
an NX-8E
Unit is now ready for you to choose one of the User
Card Programming modes (as if user code 2):
1) Add One User
2) Add Multiple Users (or Add User w/ Auto-
Increment)
3) Delete One User
IMPORTANT NOTE
Adding or deleting user cards from a reader causes the code for User Number 2 to become invalid.
Therefore, it will need to be reentered after all user cards are programmed into the readers.
ADDING ONE USER
To add a single user, enter [STAY] followed by the 3-digit “user number” if control is programmed for 4-
digit user codes or followed by [0]-[0] and the 3-digit “user number” if control is programmed for 6-digit
user codes. A total of 4 or 6 digits must be entered depending on the programming of the control panel;
the first being the [STAY] key, the last three being the “user number”. If a valid user number is entered,
