REPORT/WARNING
The NX-8E-CF can be programmed to report AC failure and/or Low Battery conditions to
the central station. It can also be programmed to sound the keypad immediately upon
detection of the condition. The AC failure report/warning can be delayed.

SOUNDER ALERT
If enabled, the NX-8E-CF will beep the keypad sounder upon arming or disarming if the
AC power is missing or a low battery has been detected.
For UL Commercial Fire installations, this feature must be ENABLED.

ARM / DISARM
CODES
The NX-8E-CF can have 240 four-digit codes or 160 six-digit codes to arm/disarm the
control. All codes must have the same number of digits. The factory default for User #1
is 1234 when using a 4-digit code, or 123456 for a 6-digit code. This code can
then be used to enter the new arm/disarm codes.
41 23
AUTO CANCEL / ABORT
If enabled, the Cancel and/or Abort features will be automatic (pressing the CANCEL
button is not required). The Cancel and Abort features, in locations 23 and 40
respectively, must be enabled to permit this Auto feature to work. For proper operation of
these features, “Dialer Delay” must be enabled in the “Characteristic Select” of locations
110-169 Zone Types. Default is OFF.
For UL Commercial Fire installations, this feature must be DISABLED.

AUTO TEST This feature will cause the panel to call the central station to report a communicator test
at a specified interval. Default is ON.

AUTOMATIC ARMING If programmed, the NX-8E-CF will Auto Arm at a specified time. At this time, the keypad
will beep for 50 seconds before the panel arms. The arming process will be stopped if a
code is entered on the keypad. The NX-8E-CF will attempt to arm after every 45 minutes
of inactivity until the next “opening” time (loc. 52), or until the system is armed. The 45-
minute timer will be extended when there is activity in the building. The Auto Arming of a
partition can be programmed to be silent. If closing reports are sent, the user code will be
97.
For UL Commercial Burglary installations, this feature must be DISABLED.
