Unused Zones

I just jump them out with a resistor. js

Good to know, thanks Russ. js

Jumper them out with a resistor or take them out of all partitions

just dont program them in.

i resistor them out as well as program them out because some of the panels i use will show an open zone when i look at it remotely even if its not used...which is confusing to me.

Jack,

When using only eight (or less) of the sixteen zones on the NX-216E, turn Dip Switch #6 (1 - 5 are used to set the Module Address) to the "On" position, it will disable the second group of eight zones on the expander......... Regards, Russ

I think so, he probably means you can' t just not program them in as Rory opined. js

you can't zero out a zone in caddx?

That won't work, they come pre-programmed

you cant delete the zones, like with ademco panels .. which come preprgrammed also ..?

whoops, sorry, too used to ademco .. like to try the GE panels one day though anyway, so good to know for the future.

Nope, you'd think they would have added that by now with the v2 series

No zone type exists to erase a zone like DSC but taking them out of any partitions does the same thing like DSC

If you remove them from the partition, you should be fine.

ah thanks..was just curious..i dont use caddx

Don't you get tired of being right all the time? js

The NX-8, NX-8V2, and NX-8E run circles around most of Ademco's/Honeywell's Vista series controls (except for the Vista128 & 250 panels)... The GE Networx line is easier to program, offers more features per dollar, is easier for the end-user to operate, and works with most ITI transmitters when using one of the NX series receivers... Just my 1/2 cent, Russ

Ummmm ... no :)

You'd think tho that would have been easy to implement from the beginning considering almost every other panel in the known universe allows deletion of zones

Nope
