How To Program Caddx Nx 8 Troubleshooting
Search this site. GE Caddx Alarm Systems The GE Caddx Networx line of security systems offer many of the features of more complicated alarms, but at very reasonable prices. The 3 main panels are the GE NX-4, NX-6, and the NX-8. The smallest is the NX-4, with 8 on-board zones. The largest panel is the Caddx NX-8, with 8-zones on-board, expandable to 48. This range of zones will cover anything from an apartment or condo to a large house. Update, June 2017: The Caddx NetworX series is evidently being discontinued.
Though I haven’t seen any official announcement from GE/Interlogix, I can find no listings for Caddx panels at 2 of the 3 suppliers I regularly visit online. The only supplier I saw still listing Caddx equipment has many fewer items, compared to years past. If you’re considering installing a new Caddx NetworX system, scroll down to see my ' section, at the bottom of this page. If you’re looking for information on Caddx NetworX systems in general, read on All three General Electric products Networx systems can handle a combination of hardwired and wireless zones, so they can easily be installed in new or existing construction. This installation flexibility, along with low cost, make a Caddx alarm panel a good choice for a DIY security system. Caddx wireless transmitters are the standard NX-series sensors used by many other GE systems. Wireless sensors are available for doors and windows, motions, glassbreaks, smoke detectors, etc.
Wireless keypads and keyfobs can also be added to allow easy arming, disarming, and other functions. Need more than 48 zones? Check out the. If you want a mostly wireless system, see these pages.
GE Security Caddx NX-4 • 4-Hardwired zones on-board, expandable to 8-zones • 4-Wire smoke loop • 8-User codes The NetworX-4 or NX-4 is one of the most basic of GE home security systems available. It’s a hybrid panel that features 4 programmable zones, expandable to a total of 8. Unlike the NX-6 and NX-8, the NX-4 doesn’t have any programmable outputs. The Caddx NX-4 is often sold as a package, with everything needed to build a complete basic system. Its small size makes it a good fit for an apartment, condo, or townhouse-size home.
If you’re choosing a system for a not-so-small-to-medium size home, you may want to go with the NX-6 or even the NX-8 (below), rather than limit yourself with the NX-4. The slight additional cost for the larger Caddx alarms is offset with much more flexibility, if you ever decide to expand the system in the future. GE Security Caddx NX-6 • 6 Hardwired zones on-board, expandable to16-zone maximum capacity (wireless)/ 12 zones hardwired • 4 Programmable outputs • 2-Wire and 4-wire smoke detector loop • 40 User codes The GE Caddx NX-6 builds upward from the NX-4, adding increased numbers of zones and user codes. It also offers a 2-wire smoke detector loop, which is much easier to work with for do-it-yourself home alarm installers. The increased zone capacity makes the Caddx NX-6 a good choice for a medium or slightly larger size home, depending on the number of doors and windows you need to protect.

GE Security Caddx NX-8 • 8 on-board zones, expandable to 48 zones maximum - hardwired and/or wireless • 2-wire and 4-wire smoke detector loops • 4 programmable outputs • 99 user codes The largest GE Caddx panel, the NX-8 gives you plenty of zone capacity for a large house (along with more codes than you’ll likely ever need!) It also features both 2- and 4-wire smoke detector loops, making the addition of fire protection easier. Like the NX-6, this system offers 4 programmable outputs. These can be used to activate a relay or optional device in response to an alarm or other system event. The table below shows system conditions you can choose to create specific responses for. Programming GE Caddx Systems The Caddx Networx panels can be programmed remotely, using Caddx remote software, or on-site using a keypad. As with most keypad-programmable security panels, the Caddx alarm systems are easier to work with if you have an LCD display keypad. Although a standard LED keypad will work, it can be confusing trying to navigate the menus using only LED’s for feedback.
If you’re on a tight budget and/or are installing the system in a smaller home, an LED keypad will be fine. If you’re planning a system for a larger house with many points of protection to program, you’ll be much happier with an LCD unit like the NX-148E (hardwired) or the NX-148E-RF (wireless.)

Baixaki Livro Como Conquistar As Pessoas Pdf Files. There are still listings for NX-4, NX-6, and NX-8 main panels from a few suppliers that I regularly check, others list them as “No Longer Available” or “Discontinued”. Various accessories like keypads, zone expanders, relay modules, etc.
Currently listed as available. What does this mean to you? It depends on your situation: If you’re shopping for a brand-new system, your choice is obvious: Choose anything but an NX-4, NX-6, or NX-8 system. These older panels offer no features that you can’t get on most current systems, and lack most of the latest options people are buying. Also, if anything were to break on your Caddx system, you can’t count on being able to get replacement parts. If you have an existing NX-4, -6, or-8 Caddx system in need of replacement parts? You have to decide whether to spend the money to fix it, or simply replace the whole system.
To help you decide, here is my opinion: • If the system was in good working order previously, has all the features you need, and the keypads are fully functional and undamaged, then I would lean towards fixing the system. Chances are good that you’ll get at least another several years or more of use from the system. When it eventually does fail, you can worry about finding a new system then. • If, on the other hand, your system has had multiple problems in the past, lacks features you want or need, or if any of the keypads are damaged or malfunctioning, I would replace the system rather than repair it.
Also, if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your NetworX system to something with modern features like smartphone control, video monitoring, or home automation capabilities, this might be a good time to make the switch.

I have a Caddx system installed in my home that I had installed when I had my home built ten years ago. I want to upgrade the system and make a few improvements. I've been contacting the original installer and a few other installers in the area for a month and know one will call me back. I'm handy and thinking of taking the job on myself. The installer code has never been changed so I can get into the system. I took a look at the manual online and it doesn't make much sense to me.
My system is currently working fine and has a expander card installed with 16 zones used and a few more left open to use. I'd like to add a garage door sensor with enough time for me to open the door and disarm the system.
Also would like to add a water sensor in the basement and a sensor that detects if it gets too cold in the house. I can hard wire all the sensors so I don't need any wireless device. The keypad I have is a NX-148e. Anyone know ho to program this into my system? Doesn't look like anyone local wants to do it.
Ok, well i played with it a little bit and must say it's the manual is quite confusing. I was able to get it to programing mode. First, I entered *8, then I entered the user code of 9713. It then asked me for a device address and I believe I was to use 0#. It then asked me for a location number. From the manual the zones I want to use (17-24) are in location 29 so I used that for a location.
I figured out that the segments are the zones to program. Segment 1 is for zone 17 and segment 8 is for zone 24. Obviously segment 2 is zone 18 and segment 3 is 19 and the rest follow that sequence.
Also, there is a 6 after each segment which is the zone type which is an instant zone by the chart. That's where I got lost. I still haven't wired the devices in yet.
Going to wire everything up in the basement temporarily so I can try to get it to work. So what I'd like to do is use zone 17 for a low temperature switch which will be an instant zone type.
I'd like to use zone 18 for a water sensor to detect a flood in the basement which will also be a instant type zone. Zone 19 will be used for an over head garage door switch which I will have to make have a delay to give the garage door enough time to go up or down and disarm the alarm. From what I can tell, the man door in the garage is set on zone type 3 which seems to have about a minute delay to get out, which should be sufficient for the overhead garage doors. Kind of confused after that and don't really no how to go further.
OK, I think I'm getting somewhere. I programed zone 17 to be a #2 zone type which will be the water sensor. I also programmed zone 18 to be a zone type #2 also for the low temperature sensor. I figure that will be best since it's the 24 hour audible that will set the siren off regardless if the alarm is armed or not. Probably a good thing for water in the basement or loss of heat.
I set zone 18 to be zone type 9 which has a one minute delay which will be used for the overhead garage doors which should be sufficient. My next question is, my manual for the nx8 tells me nothing on how to name the 3 new zones I've created. Am I missing that info? What's the procedure for that programming? Ok, I have that manual. Doesn't seem like the keypad will let me do anything to enter a name.
I get into programming at location 29 and it starts me at where it reads location 29 segment 1 on the top line and 2 on the second line which is the zone type. Seems like it wont let me do anything but change the zone type and go to the different segments. The arrows don't do anything. Also, it looks like I'll need some more eol resistors for the zones I'm using and the ones I'm not.
The installer left me 5 in the control box. Are these an alarm special part or can I get them anywhere? This is what I did to try and program the keypad. First I entered *8, then followed by the program code 9713, the it asked me for a device number. Instead of 0#, I entered 192#, then it asked me for a location which I entered location 29 so I can assign names to my new zones 17-18. At that point it just goes to a screen that says enter location, then # (29). Is it possible that 192 is not the location of my keypad?
I'd just like to assign the proper names to my new zones. My system is 10 years old and the manual I found from it is slightly different. Still haven't found where to use that 192 address. Is you keypad assigned to partition 1, keypad 1? If so, then the keypad address is 192. In any case, try this instead: From normal run mode: *92 Prompts to “Please Enter Your Code'.
[installer code] The LCD will now prompt you to enter message number followed by #. Zones 1 through 192 custom messages are message numbers 1-192 respectively. Message 193 - Custom message top line. Message 194 - Custom message bottom line. Message 195 - Shutdown message top line. Message 196 - Shutdown message bottom line.
