how do I programme the NX4 so that it arms at the same time every night?

thanks

Feature 34

This is the Automatic Arming time. If enabled in Feature 36 the NX-4 will Auto Arm the specified area(s). At this time, the Code Pad will beep for 50 seconds before the panel arms. The arming process can be stopped by entering a valid code on the Code Pad.

Feature 36

This feature selects which days the system will auto arm. If a zone is faulted when the panel tries to auto arm, the zone will be bypassed.

For example you want the system to arm at 7Pm every night then you will need to do this,

* 8 (INSTALLER CODE)
0 #
34 # 19 * 00 * (this is the time in 24hr format)
36 # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 * (this enables the days 1=Sun, 7=Sat)
Exit
Exit

That should arm the system at 19:00 Sun-Sat.

Im actually amazed how many business dont want you toprogram this option who are on alarm only and then the patrols notice site not armed every now & thenwould be lucky to have 10% of clients asked to program function after you have suggested it

I offer auto arm for businesses with set close times, but wont use the auto disarm feature.

ditto & I don't know anyone who has ever used it. I often wonder what it is there for

hmmm, auto arm - good, auto disarm - retarded

I have used it for other things like freezer alarms, during the night it is armed during the day it's disarmed only because they keep triggering the temp alarm while accessing the freezers during business hours. So I would say it's more of an automation feature then a security one.

Bit of an odd setting really, i have never set auto disarm in any panel, and nearly all have it now.
I do like the auto arm, and will suggest it to all business owners.

The nx panels dont offer auto disarm only auto arm the feature for open times in the nx panel refers to allowing certain users access only after the open time has arrived.

the new Reliance panels however can auto disarm but also have a new feature which caught us by suprise the alarm is capable of rearming after the close time is reached if someone enters the building and disarms the panel and forgets to arm the systems when they leave in default the alarm looks for no activity on the detectors and if none for 45 minutes it arms itself. this time I believe can be changed to what ever you want.

sorry, was referring to solution and digi panels,(that i always use), and that sounds like a great feature of detector activity time before arming. What panel is that ?

I've used auto disarm via Tz on LOTS of panels for many years, not to disarm Burgulary Alarms, rather for automation and system tasks.

So every option has a use...

Hi
I tried the above and didn't work??

Tastech

did you set the clock time day date and year

lefty

Hi

I set the date and time again just to make sure and it's still not working.
This is what happens:

*8 = the lights blink for on,partial,exit,bypass,chime
9713 0# above lights stop blinking, only ready and power lights are on
34# = no difference to above,only ready and power lights
etc

have I missed a step?

Used it once, good for school boarding rooms that have perimeter reeds etc to notify someone of night time antics. Kids can up & leave first thing in the morning without the supervisor having to remember to disarm.

But you can still have this function if you use a NX relay card.
