All zones showing fault (NX-8E), please help

May 14, 2007 9 Replies

Hi all! I have a Caddx NX-8E with NX-216E Zone Expansion module and two NX-148E keypads. I have programed the system using the DL900 software, but every zone (21 of them) are showing fault. I'm not sure if I've missed something in the setup or what. Any thoughts/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have put EOL Resistors on all unused zones and have turned off box tampering as well.



if you have a closed loop and eol in series on every zone you should be ok

It all depends on how you've connected your circuits. If you haven't used the supplied EOL resistors, then you have to program the panel for "No EOL".

Thank you very much for your help. I found out where to turn off the EOL in the DP900 software. Now everything works great!

You're most welcome. Glad we could help.

if you knew that eol were needed and put them on the unused zones, why not put them on the zones that were used?

They're optional. It's a programming choice. However, even when they're not required they still make a handy "shunt" to close up unused zones.

nobody asked u n*****ts. only the Op knows the answer.

I see our friend, Graham, has added a few dozen new aliases. :^)

I'd call it "even" (if it is indeed "Graham").
