You should have a zone list somewhere but if you don't, read your user's manual and use the keypad to check the zone status of all zones. The last one, usually the fartherest from the control panel, will have only 2 or 4 wires connected, and will have an EOLR (End Of Line Resistor) for circuit supervision and possibly a power supervision module if it's a 4-wire detector. Each detector except for the last in the series will have either 4 or 8 wires attached: Two in and two out, or 4 in and 4 out. You need to know whether you have 2-or-4 wire detectors. You can have hardwired expansion zones, but the fire zone is usually one of the first 8, and most often zone 8, which supports 2-wire smoke detectors. Go to Google or your favorite search engine with the phrase "Caddx NX-8E Installation Manual." You can download it for free, ignore any pay-for-download sites.įirst of all: Your zones are numbered, 1 through 8 for on-board zones, higher for expansion zones. If that does't tell you what you need to know, then get the Installation Manual. The first thing you do with an alarm system trouble is read the User Manual/Owner's Manual. Go on ebay and buy another keypad (NX-1324) that has the default password set.Kevin, STOP!! If it's not already too late, stop taking things apart and/or buying things you don't need. It immediately beeps so *+ any number will not work. Using the password 1234 does not work, and when I try to hit *5 to be able to type in the installer code 9713. Blinking Armed is telling me there has been an alarm during the previous arm cycle. Whenever I plug the power back in “Armed” and “5” will be blinking. I ran into the laundry room to disconnect the power to the box to kill the alarm. Then I opened up a window which triggered the alarm to go off.

I must have hit a button on it because I somehow armed it when I plugged the alarm module back in. My issues started when I removed the alarm from the wall to paint. It would make a chime noise and I was perfectly happy I’ve been using the alarm as basically a chime whenever front door or garage door was open. Hello I recently moved into a house that the old owner did not “remember” or provide the pin to the alarm. Keypad: Networx Caddx Controls model NX-1324
