That's a NX-408/416/448 (most likely a 416 on a NX-6)
Installer manual: http://alarmhow.net/manuals/UTC/CADD...%20Rev%20E.pdf

The replacement you need is a NX-650N: https://static.interlogix.com/librar...%20REV%20E.pdf

You need to know what you next available zone is. Since you have the LCD keypad, hopefully your existing zones all have descriptions programmed, and the next available will have no description. Your system has a maximum of 16 total zones.

Do you know if you have a NX-6 or a NX-6V2? There are small, but important, configuration differences.

I maybe mistaken regarding NX-6 since it was stamped on the alarm box.

I have added a few additional photos that some of the modules have an NX8 ..... on them., so possible I have an NX-8?

The zone I want to add is 18 since that was marked on the certification zone information

On one of the chips reads NX8 Editon BDF7 (FCF1)

Also see a UL marking on the board, S-4018

Thanks for your help

How many physical zone inputs are on the main board? A NX-6 has 6 physical zone inputs.

Ok, that simplifies things. Someone swapped out the board, somewhere along the line. You have a NX-8.

Next question. Do you know the installer code?

Fairly easy test if you don't: key in *8 9713. That's the factory default. If it works you will jump into programming. If so just hit the exit key until you exit key until you are back to normal run mode, and let us know.

You are in good shape, then. Once you have your replacement/new device it should be fairly simple to walk you through the process.

Are yo replacing, or adding? If the fomer, the process is a little different. If the latter, have you worked out what the next unused zone number is.

'Programming Wireless Sensor on Caddx Networx NX-8
I am adding , I would like to use zone 18 if possible . I believe zone 18 was once used but had been deleted
since it was noted on my zone list for master bedroom from previous owners.

*8 [installer code]
35#
49# (sensor learn)
18* (select the zone you are putting the transmitter on)
Trip the transmitter by opening the battery cover
press * to save
Press exit twice to get out of programming.
If this was a location that was previously programmed, odds are that all of the zone programming is still in place, since it sounds like a basic perimeter zone.

Thanks, Does the wireless door detector and magnet need to be in place before I program?

No, for this transmitter, the tamper switch under the cover is the enrolling trigger, so it can be in your hands, and the magnet doesn't matter.

'Programming Wireless Sensor on Caddx Networx NX-8
Is there a command on the keypad that will list all the zones so I can validate the list I have is accurate.

You just use the arrow keys next to the display. If you have zone descriptors programmed, it will show the status of each zone.

'Programming Wireless Sensor on Caddx Networx NX-8
When I used the arrow keys it only shows me a description if a zone is in fault. IE: Kitchen Window

I have an emergency so I will let you know the results of the task of adding a transmitter when I get back.
The info you provide is very much appreciated.

Sorry, the command is on page 11 of the keypad user manual. Press * then press the up arrow to view the zones.

'Programming Wireless Sensor on Caddx Networx NX-8
I enter the following
*8 9713
35#
49#
11*

I trip the transmitter by opening cover

nothing happens - I'm left at Enter Location then # 49 and * has no effect

not sure what I am doing wrong,
also when I perform * then press up arrow zone 11 & 18 display okay , but either has been learned, I am not receiving fault indicator so I have not placed on window
batteries are good

I'm wondering if something is already programmed into that slot.
*8 [installer code]
35#
11#
If there is already something programmed into that slot option 1 will be ON.
Press[1] to delete that transmitter, or press * # to exit that location so you can check a different one.

It's possible that you have transmitters programmed that don't have descriptors programmed into the keypad.

Have you read through the manual for the receiver?

-2--5-7-

11# display. I spoke mistakenly , when I swapped out the battery with one I had, indicator battery low

would this be the problem? I just purchased a new battery online regardless
I have read the manual , understood some but not all

Looks like it never enrolled. A dead battery would do that.

The manual for these receivers actually are some of the more poorly written I've seen, and I work with a _lot_ of system manuals. The critical info is from page 10 on...

Okay , when the battery arrives I try again.

So normally
*8 9713
35#
49#
11*
It is normal to go back to 49 once 11* is entered?

Yes, but you should hear a chime from the keypad when it enrolls.

okay, so I assume it never enrolled is the reason , when pressing * I did not hear a beep or any indication that it saved.
.
I'll let you know the outcome once the new battery is received.

You can test it with the magnet, in hand, if you like. Saves a bit of running around. if the window is a basic perimeter, the default zone type (6) should be just fine.

I received the battery today, programed and worked like a charm.
Now I need to purchase additional batteries and install the other two wireless sensors.


Thanks for your help

I am having trouble trying to learn my last wireless sensor.
I am trying to add zone 10 but system is not detecting the sensor. Currently -2--5-7-

I tried with three different wireless sensors, but am not having any luck

The battery is new, and tested , no issues there.
Any ideas.

Thanks in advance

If you are following the steps as before, the only logical conclusion is that you have a bad transmitter.

I guess I have 3 bad wireless sensors. I'll buy another one and hopefully that will solve the problem

Possible any other issue that could cause problem of learning, I know they all worked at one time and were stored

I forgot to inquire , the sensors I have are 60-362 319.5 Door/Window Sensors

Will a Interlogix Door/Window Sensor 60-362N-10-319.5 work as well?
I don't know the difference between a
60-632N & a 60-362

Thanks

Yes, it's just a newer model. They haven't changed the basic RF protocal for these, in decades.

*8 xxxx
35#

I think I see where you misremembered the instructions,
You did:
*8 xxxx
35#
49#
10#
That should have been:
*8 xxxx
35#
49#
10*
