Caddx NX-6 / NX-6V2 Control Panel

The NX-6 and its later revision the NX-6V2 are the small-to-mid panels in the Caddx NetworX family, later sold under the GE and Interlogix names. They suit a typical house: six zones on the board, room to grow to 16, and two partitions if, say, a garage or an in-law unit needs to arm separately.

At a glance

If you have more than 16 zones, look at the NX-8 / NX-8V2 (48 zones) or the NX-8E (192 zones). They take the same keypads and sensors.

The NX-6 uses the NetworX Service light. Press * 2 and read zone lights 1 to 8:

1. System fault
2. Zone tamper
3. Wireless low battery
4. Wireless supervision loss
5. Zone trouble
6. Phone fault
7. Failure to communicate
8. Loss of time

Each is explained in the NetworX service light guide.

Service light and beeping after a power cut

Enter your code to silence the keypad. The usual cause is light 8, a lost clock. Press * 9 7, the master code, then the time as four digits in 24-hour format (for example, 2:15 PM is 1 4 1 5).

Cannot arm: Ready light off

A zone is open. The zone light flashing slowly shows which one. Close it, or bypass it: press Bypass, the zone number, then Bypass again, and # to finish. See alarm not ready to arm.

Smoke or zone trouble that won't clear

While disarmed, press * 7. This resets smoke detectors, zone troubles and tampers.

• Keypads: NX-108E, NX-116E, NX-148E, NX-148E-RF.
• Wireless: NX-548E receiver; 319.5 MHz ITI/GE/Interlogix sensors.
• Communication: NX-592E GSM, NX-595E IP.

• Default codes: master (user 1) 1234; go to program code 9713.
• Program mode: press * 8, enter the go to program code, then 0 # for the panel.
• After leaving program mode, the panel spends about 12 seconds enrolling keypads and modules; wait before testing.
• The bus takes up to 16 keypads but only three other modules (receiver, zone expander, communicator and so on). Count modules before you plan an upgrade. An NX-148E-RF keypad gives you a wireless receiver without using a module slot.
