How To Add Wireless Sensors To My Interlogix NetworX Series Panel
Adding wireless sensors to an Interlogix NetworX series DSC panel is not difficult assuming you have a wireless receiver installed such as the NX-548E which allows up to 48 wireless sensors to be run assuming the NetworX panel has the capability for this many zones.
Using the NX-548E Wireless Receiver
- Determine the Device Address of your receiver by looking at the 4 dip switches on the receiver itself (not the main motherboard in the metal box).
- Enter Program Mode: Enter *8 + [Installer Code]. The default Installer Code is 9713.
- Enter Device Address of the receiver followed by # such as 33#.
- For Location enter 0# which puts the receiver in Learn Mode.
- Enter desired zone number followed by * (not #) such as 12*. Be sure you are not selecting an existing zone!
- Tamper the transmitter (open up the plastic case or other method) to force a transmission. If received successfully you will hear “bing-bong” at the keypad. Three beeps however means it was not successful.
- If adding more wireless transmitters go back to step 3 to enroll the next transmitter. If finished press [Exit] twice to leave Program Mode.
- Next you will need to set the Zone Type and Partition for this transmitter. Common Zone types are:
- 17 = Exit/Entry Zone
- 18 = Interior Follower Motion
- 19 = Instant Perimeter
- 24 = Fire
- 21 = Gas/CO
- 22 = Environmental Low Temp or Flood
- Enter Program Mode again using *8 [Installer Code]
- For Device enter 0# which is the main panel
- For Location use the following:
- Location 25 is for Zones 1 – 8
- Location 27 is for Zones 9 – 16
- Location 29 is for Zones 17 – 24
- Enter appropriate Location for the zone you want to program such as Location 27#. Be sure to follow with #.
- Each Segment (1 thru 8) is for Zone type. So for Zone 12 enter * for Seg1/Zone9 (no change), * for Seg2/Zone10, * for Seg3/Zone11, then for Seg4 which is Zone 12 enter Zone type such as 22 followed by * (not #). Follow up with # to move to next Location.
- Next what Partition this new zone will be in use the following for Location:
- Location 26 is Partitions for Zones 1 – 8
- Location 28 is Partitions for Zones 9 – 16
- Location 30 is Partitions for Zones 17 – 24
- Unless you are setup for multiple partitions use Partition 1. Enter appropriate Location for the zone you want to program such as Location 28#. Be sure to follow with #.
- Each Segment represents which of the 8 allowable partitions will be used for this zone. For example if Zone 12 will be in Partition 1 enter * for Seg1/Zone9 (no change), * for Seg2/Zone10, * for Seg3/Zone11, Enter 1 for Seg4/Zone12 followed by * (not #). If 1 is no longer showing press 1 again so its displayed. Press # when finished.
- Exit Program Mode by pressing [Exit] twice.
