GE NX-8 Installation Manual - Page 4

Cancel - If enabled, the NX-8 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. ADialer Delay@ must be enabled in the ACharacteristic Select@ of locations 110-149. (See location 23, page 17) Code Required Options- The NX-8 can be programmed to require a code for bypassing zones and/or initiating a download using the [r]-[9]-[8] or [r]-[9]-[9] function. (See locations 23 and 41, pages 17 and 22) Communication Formats- The NX-8 can report in multiple formats. It is recommended that you use Contact ID or SIA formats if possible. If you wish to report to a pager or in a 4+2 format to a central station, you must program each code to be reported. (See locations 56-83 and 111-149, pages 26-30 and 33-36) Cross Zoning - This feature requires two or more trips on a zone or zones programmed as "cross zones" within a specified time before reporting an alarm. During the time between trips, the NX-8 can be programmed to sound the keypad and/or the siren. The NX-8 can also be programmed to report an alarm after two or more trips on the same zone. (See locations 37, 39, 40 and 110-149, pages 21 - 22, 33 - 36) Dual / Split / Multiple Reports - The NX-8 can send communication reports to three different phone numbers for dual, split or multiple reports selectable by event or partition. (See locations 4, 10, and 16, pages 12-15) Duress Code- If a duress code is programmed the NX-8 will send a duress signal whenever the panel is armed or disarmed with this code. If open/close reports are sent, the user code will be 254. (See location 44, page 23) Dynamic Battery Test - The NX-8 can be programmed to perform a Dynamic Battery Test for a selected duration the first time the panel is armed or disarmed every day, as well as by pressing [r][4] Test Function. If the panel is not armed or disarmed during the day, it will perform the test at midnight. The NX-8 can also be programmed to perform a missing battery test every 12 seconds. (See locations 37 and 40, pages 21 and 22) Entry-Guard - This unique low level arming mode has been developed to reduce the most common source of false alarms. When armed with the AInstant@ LED on, the opening of any zones designated as "Entry Guard zone" will initiate the keypad sounder and start the entry delay before creating an alarm. All other zones will function as normal. This arming mode will encourage system owners to use their system more frequently when the premises are occupied. (See locations 111-149, pages 33-36) NOTE: For UL installations, this feature shall be disabled. Exit Error - If enabled, the NX-8 will send an "Exit Error Report" if an entry/exit zone is faulted at the instant the exit delay expires. This report will be sent along with the user number that armed the system, if the panel is not disarmed before the entry delay expires. The alarm report will also be sent. Even if this feature is not enabled, the siren will sound if any entry/exit zone is faulted at the instant the exit delay expires. (See location 23, page 17) Expander Trouble- The NX-8 will report expander trouble to the central station if enabled. This condition will illuminate the "Service" LED on the keypad even if not reported. NOTE: The keypads are considered expanders. The number of the expansion devices reported can be found on page 53. (See location 37, page 21) Fail to Communicate- The NX-8 will illuminate 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 will be reported. (See location 37, page 21) Fire Alarm Verification - When enabled, the NX-8 will verify a Fire alarm by requiring more than one trip on a smoke detector within a specified time before creating an alarm. (See location 40, page 22) This feature is not approved for residential use in California. Force Arming - When enabled, the NX-8 can be Force Armed with zones violated. Under this condition, if a force armable zone is not secure, the "Ready" LED will flash. At the end of the exit delay, these zones will become bypassed. If these zones become secured any time during the arming cycle, they will be unbypassed and active in the system. If "Bypass Report" is enabled, the force arming zones can be programmed to report bypass when they are Force Armed (default), or to not report bypass even if "Bypass Report" is enabled. (See locations 37, and 111-149, pages 21 & 33-36) NOTE: For UL installations, this feature shall be disabled. Ground Fault- If the NX-870 is used, a fault of the earth ground can be reported to the central station. If it is not reported, this condition will illuminate the "Service" LED on the keypad.
