How To Program Caddx Nx 8 Installer
Networx NX-8 from CADDX. The NetworX NX-8 from CADDX Controls represents a new approach to security systems design. Drawing on experience in the world market as the largest exporter of USA manufactured controls, CADDX has developed the most flexible, durable, and user-friendly control ever seen in our industry. Control panel programming. Programming the control panel requires you to enter program mode, select the module to program, program a location, and then exit the location and program mode. Enter program mode. To enter program mode, do the following: 1.
RS-232 Serial Communication and the NX-8E Home Security AlarmRev 1.25Brian Mork - 2016.December 2015, writes: 'Thank you for clarifying thisconfusing information!' February 2018, G.S. Writes, '.impressed by your depth of knowledge.'
Two Serial Options with NX-8EThe Interlogix NX-8E has two methods of doing serialcommunication. One is to use the additional, the NX-587E virtual keyboard, NX-588E USB dongleinterface, or the. These connect onto the same DATA/+/- terminals that auser keypad uses. The NX-584 and NX-586Eeach provides an electrical interface that converts to an RS-232connection.The second serial port on the NX-8E does not exist on the NX-8familyor the NX-8V2. It is a true serial port, made available on themain circuit board in the same way serial port connections were done onPC desktops circa 2005 and earlier.
As discussed below, the NX-8Ehas a DTK-INTEL DC-10connector as shown in the photo below. Noelectrical conversion isrequired - only the physical wires to bring the signals to youcomputer.Here's what the connector looks like, as installed inmy alarm controller box, on the lower left corner of the circuit board.If you were to look closer, you'd see a connector like the one shownbelow. Three important features are evident.

One is the notch or opening on the side. Asinstalled, the NX-8E has this on the bottom middle. This orientsthe cable the proper way when connected. If the connector doesnot have a notch, or the cable does not have a key, then it's even moreimportant to note that the red-striped wire should connect by the arrowor diamond described next. The next feature is the imprinted arrow or diamond,visible on theupper left side of the picture. That identifies which pin isnumbered 1.
The correct industry standard way to number the pinsis to start by the arrow and then hop back and forth on the rows, sothat in the picture, all the pins toward you are odd, and all the pinsaway from you are even. In the NX-8E as normally installed in acabinet, odd pins are toward the bottom and even pins are toward thetop. The last feature is (no kidding) the 10th pin. This isimportant because some cable connections have the 10th pin blocked ornon-existant. Those cables won't fit onto the NX-8E connectorbecause the 10th pin will block it.
A correct cable connector isshown here (see it has 10 holes).Be careful about confusing information out on the web.gets it right, showing the pin numbering and noting that pin 1 oftenhas a square instead of round circuit board pad. On the otherhand,has the diagram labeled wrong because pin 1 is shown on the oppositeside compared to the square key. As seen in the pictures here,the pin 1 triangle is actually on the same side as the key notch.Bodenzord.com does make a good point differentiating the DTK/INTELvs. AT-EVEREX designs.gets the pinout and pin functions correct.has a lot correct, but has directions of signals wrong - on a standardDB-9RS-232 connector, pins 3, 4, 7 always come from the same side (the DTEequipment, such as a PC) and pins 2, 6, 8 always come from the otherside (the DCE equipment). So, for example, you'll never find DB-9 pin 2 and pin 7coming from the same side of an RS-232 connection.On the NX-8E, voltages of ±9 volts come outof IDC connector pins 3 and 6 (compared to common on a terminal screworpin 9 of the IDC). When nothing is being transmitted, pin 3 willsit at -9 volts and pin 6 will sit at +9 volts. Pin 3 should makeit eventually to Pin 2 of the DB-9 on your PC, which is where the PC islistening for data.Normally your PC computer will have a DB-9 serial connector presentingmale pins.
So it would be nice if the cable from the NX-8Econnector presented a female DB-9. Sadly, most of the ribbonconnectors are made for use inside a PC, so they also present a maleconnector.

You'll probably have to get an adapter with female onboth sides to connect your PC to the NX-8E.
