    Default NetworX NX 16 problem

    Hi all.

    If somebody could please help me with a problem im having with my home security system, that would be great.

    I’ve got a networX NX 16 system with 5 sensors connected. There is an internal siren and outside the house there is a flashing light and siren if the alarm goes off. The box outside doesn’t have a tamper switch. There is only a tamper switch on the control box.

    The problem I’m having is that the service light is permanently on and when I press the code to see what the error is, the number 6 flashes which according the manual, the flashing 6 is a expander box tamper. i dont have an expander box with more zones in it. I only have the 5 sensors and thats it.

    When I leave the house and press the on button to arm the alarm, there is a long beeping sound and then it stops.

    When I return home and enter my pin code, the alarm disarms but there are short and fast beeps. The only way I can rid of these short and fast beeps is the enter my PIN code in again.

    Does anybody know how to fix this problem apart from hitting the thing with a hammer?

    Thanks

    Press *2 if zone 6 on the keypad is lit the the following is the problem.

    6. TELEPHONE LINE TROUBLE/LINE CUT - This light will illuminate when there is telephone line trouble or the telephone line has been cut. The service light will remain lit until the telephone trouble clears and a user code is entered.

    Expander box tamper will only show if you have pressed *2 and the number 1 was lit. By pressing 1 it will then show you system faults from 1-7.

    Thanks for your reply champ. i think i must of been confused with what i wrote.

    O.k. Below is exactly what happens.

    The service light is on but no numbers are lit up until I press *2.
    I press *2 and then the numbers 1 and 8 light up. I then press 1 on the keypad to show the fault, then the number 6 then lights up. from what I've read, if the 6 lights up, that is related the expander box tamper.

    when i pressed *2 and the number 8 was lit up, i fixed this by setting the time and that one went away.

    I dont have a phone line connected to the alarm.

    Thanks

    Hrm, if there is no expanders on the system, for some reason the panel is detecting a tamper there.

    Might have to go into programme mode then exit again, this makes the panel search the BUS for any new modules e.t.c and may possibly clear the fault.

    Failing this, im not too sure if the tamper pins on the main control panel will show this fault your speaking of..

    i removed power from the control box and also disconnected the battery. Now when i press the *2, only the number 8 lights up which is the system date/time.

    when you say installer code, is the default 1234?

    thanks

    no install code is in the manual, default user is 1234, just set date and time and you should be good to go. *96 and *97 this will be in your users guide.

    If it finds an expander that then disappears (remotes??) you will get the expander fail reappear.

    THanks all for your replies.

    I powered the control box down and disconnected the battery. Waited about 30 seconds, then powered back up.

    THe service light was on and when i pressed *2, only the number 8 came up which is the system time. I put in the new time and now no service light.

    Thank you all for your help.

    Cool - that basically makes the panel search the BUS for any new / existing modules and re initializes them, basically what i already said, but without using the installer code hehe.

    Well done.

    Here is the user manual for NX panel



    If the alarm is already set up to ring your mobile then you can change the number as long as your code is a master code. Don't need the install code to do this.
    Follow instructions starting on page 17. If it only rings 1 number at the moment it will be *41 location.
    Make sure you test it when done.
