2. Enter a [Master Code].

Ø Now all zones become 24 hour, silent, and local (non-reporting zones).

Ø By faulting any zone, that zone will latch its zone light on the LED code pad, and sound the Chime.

Ø The Chime will continue to sound each time a zone is faulted.

3. Once all zones are tested (zone lights lit on the LED code pad), enter a [Master Code].

Keypad Control Tones (Beeps)

A sounder is built into the keypad and may sound for any of the following reasons:

Ø Beeps for all key presses.

Ø Sounds a continuous tone during the Entry delay time.

Ø Pulses when a day zone is violated while the system is disarmed.

Ø Pulses when a FIRE zone has a trouble condition.

Ø Pulses when the armed status changes and the AC power is off.

Ø Beeps 3 times for trying to arm with the “READY” light off, if “FORCE ARMING” has not been selected.

Ø Beeps 1 second for the “CHIME” feature.

Ø Beeps 1 second at the end of the exit delay.

Ø Beeps to indicate telephone line fault if selected.

Ø Beeps 1 long beep followed by 3 short beeps to alert you that there are only ten seconds remaining in the exit delay.

When pulsing, the keypad sounder may be silenced by entering a valid [User code]. The arm/disarm state of your system will not change when entering a code to silence a pulsing keypad sounder.

Understanding the Lights:

Armed Light: The armed light is “on” when the system is armed. The armed light is “off” when it is disarmed. The armed light will flash when there has been an alarm during the previous arm cycle.

Bypass Light: The bypass light is “on” when any zone in this code pad’s area is bypassed. The zone(s) that is bypassed will also be illuminated. If the bypass light is “off”, no zones are bypassed.

Chime Light: The chime light is “on” when the chime feature is “on”; “off” otherwise.

Exit Light: The exit light is “on” during the exit delay. Please note that the light will flash during the last 10 seconds of the exit delay as a warning that the time is running out. (The user may want to restart the exit delay if the exit light is flashing in order to prevent an alarm. The user may then press the [Exit] key to restart the exit delay before the delay expires.)

Fire Light: A steady fire light means a fire zone has been faulted. A rapidly flashing fire light means that a fire zone is in a trouble condition.

On Light: The on light is “on” when the system is armed. The on light is “off” when it is disarmed.

Partial Light: The partial light is “on” when the system is armed in the Partial Mode. All non bypassed zones will be delayed and follow the Partial delay time. When armed in Partial Mode, the Arm, On, and Bypass lights will also be “on”.

Power Light: The power light is on if the primary power is on. The power light will flash if the system has a low battery condition.

Ready Light: The ready light is “on” when the system is ready to arm and “flashes” if ready to force arm. The ready light is off when the system is not ready to arm because of a zone(s) being faulted.

Lights in Multi-Area Master Mode:

Ø ARMED will illuminate if ALL areas are armed.

Ø READY will illuminate if ALL areas are “Ready”. The ready light will flash if all areas are Ready or Force arm-able.

Ø FIRE will illuminate if ANY one area has a Fire condition. The fire light will flash if ANY area has a Fire Trouble condition.

Ø POWER will illuminate if the primary power is connected to the NX-16 control panel. It will flash if the system has a low standby battery condition.

Ø PARTIAL will illuminate if ANY area has the partial light on.

Ø CHIME will illuminate if ANY area is in the “Chime” mode.

Ø EXIT will illuminate if ANY area is timing an exit delay. It will flash if ANY area is in the last 10 seconds of an exit delay.

Ø BYPASS will illuminate if ANY area has a zone bypassed.

Ø SOUNDER will sound if ANY area has the sounder on. This includes Entry delay, Exit delay, Chime, and Alarm.
