Product Usage Instructions
Programming the Panel:
CAUTION: It is recommended that an experienced alarm installer programs the panel for proper performance. Do not route any wiring over the circuit board. Full panel testing and signal confirmation must be done by the installer.
Wiring MN/MQ Series Communicators:
Wiring the MN01, MN02, and MiNi communicator series enables events reporting and remote control via the keybus or keyswitch, depending on the model.
For MN/MQ Series Cellular Communicators
- Remote control via keybus allows you to arm/disarm, arm in stay multiple partitions, bypass zones, and get zone statuses.
- Keybus functionality eliminates the need for keyswitch configuration if supported by the device.
For MQ03 Series Communicators:
- Similar to MN series, enables events reporting and remote control via keybus or keyswitch.
Programming the Interlogix NX-8 Alarm Panel via Keypad:
To enable Contact ID reporting:
- LED LEDs of Ready, Power steady ON Service LED blinks Armed LED steady ON
- Keypad Entry: *8 9713 0# 0#
- Follow the sequence of LED blinks and steady ON indications as per the manual.
CAUTION:
- It is advised that an experienced alarm installer programs the panel as further programming may be required to ensure proper performance and use of the full functionality.
- Do not route any wiring over circuit board.
- Full panel testing, and signal confirmation, must be completed by the installer.
NEW FEATURE: For MN/MQ Series Communicators, the status of the panel can be retrieved not only from the status PGM but now also from the Open/Close reports from the dialer. Therefore, wiring the white wire and programming of the status PGM of the panel is optional.
Wiring the white wire is necessary only if the Open/Close reporting is disabled.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Open/Close reporting needs to be enabled during the initial pairing procedure.
