II. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NX-870E Fire Supervision module is a microprocessor-controlled expansion module that provides the features necessary in most
fire system installations. The module facilitates the connection of two (2) phone lines to the NX-8-CF or NX-8E-CF control panel. It
provides the necessary monitoring and switching of these phone lines for a quick and easy addition to those systems that require the
additional security of a second phone line. The fire supervision module also provides a separate fully supervised bell output that can be
used to power fire annunciators separate from burglary annunciators. Additionally, it provides full supervision of the earth ground
connection required by most fire installation standards.

the secondary phone line will be reported to the control even if it is not being used by the control.
POS
Connect to control panel BELL+ terminal. This terminal supplies power to the Fire Supervision board. With the
NX-870E connected, the BELL terminals on the NetworX control panel cannot be used as a speaker or siren
output.
GND
Connect to the control panel COMMON terminal. This terminal supplies the common side of the power to the
Fire Supervision board.
DATA
Connect to the control panel DATA terminal. This terminal is the data-signaling terminal to all the devices on
the buss.
BELL +
Connect the positive side of fire warning devices to this terminal. For full supervision of these devices connect
according to the diagram on page 4.
BELL
Connect the negative side of fire warning devices to this terminal. For full supervision of these devices
connect according to the diagram on page 4.
PIPE
Connect this terminal to the cold water pipe ground. This terminal provides supervision of the earth ground
connection to the system.
Connect to a cold water pipe ground or rod driven into the ground.
EARTH " When using the Fire Supervision module, it is important not to connect a separate earth ground
to the earth ground terminal of the control panel. This will be interpreted by the control as a
ground fault. Ground is provided to the control panel via the GND terminal of the power
connection.

VI. INSTALLING THE MODULE
The Fire Supervision module can be installed in a simple two-step process. First, wire the NX-870E according to the wiring diagram on page
4. Second, use the procedure below to enroll the Fire Supervision module into the NX-8-CF or NX-8E-CF. All functions associated with the
Fire Supervision module will be performed automatically. No programming is required beyond the enrolling process.
VII. ENROLLING THE MODULE
For supervision purposes, the NetworX control panel has the ability to automatically find and store in its memory, the presence of all
keypads, zone expanders, wireless receivers, and any other module connected to the data terminal. This allows these modules to be
supervised by the control panel. To enroll the modules, enter the Program Mode of the NetworX control panel as follows. To enter the
Program Mode, press [r]-[8]. At this time, the five function LEDs (Stay, Chime, Exit, Bypass, & Cancel) will begin to flash. Next, enter the “Go
To Program Code” (FACTORY DEFAULT IS [9]-[7]-[1]-[3]). If the “Go To Program Code” is valid, the “Service” LED will flash and the five function
LEDs will illuminate steady. You are now in the Program Mode. When the Program Mode is exited by pressing the [Exit] key, the control
panel will automatically enroll the devices. The enrolling process takes about 12 seconds, during which time the “Service” LED will illuminate.
User codes will not be accepted during the enrolling process. If a speaker is attached to the control panel, it will click at this time. If a siren
or bell is attached to the control panel, it will sound for about 1 second. Once a module is enrolled, if it is not detected by the control, the
“Service” LED will illuminate. NOTE: In the event of a trouble condition, the address reported for the Fire Supervision module will be “9”.
VIII. ENCLOSURE DIAGRAM
Inside the can, several 3-holed insertion points have been constructed. This allows for either vertical
or horizontal placement of the modules. Notice that the insertion points have two sizes of holes –
a larger hole and two smaller holes.
Diagram 1: The black plastic PCB guides are grooved on the top where the PC Board is to be
situated. This grooved side goes into the larger hole, while the other side has a deep notch for the
screw to be secured into on one of the smaller holes.
Diagram 2: Take the black plastic PCB guide, grooved side down, and place it in the top insertion
point. The grooved/notched side will be in the large hole, facing the inside of the can. It should not
require force, and you will detect a slight settling when it is in place. Insert one of the provided
screws into the small hole (from inside the can) to secure it in place. Note: The screw will be in the
small hole on the top or bottom if the board is positioned vertically, or it will be in the right or left
hole if the board is placed horizontally.
The second PCB slide should be positioned upside down from the first (grooved side up) and placed
in the lower insertion point, using the same procedures described above. Once mounted, screw it in
securely.
Diagram 3: The PC board should slide freely in the grooves of both guides.
