X. PROGRAMMING LOCATIONS 
L   LOCATION 0 - PHONE NUMBER 1  (20 segments, numerical data) 
The first telephone number is programmed in location 0. A "14" indicates the end of the phone number. Delays of four 
seconds can be programmed at any point in the phone number by programming a "13" in the appropriate segment. If 
tone dialing is desired, program a "15" in the segment where tone dialing should begin. If the entire number should be 
tone dialing, program a "15" in the first segment. Program an A11" for a Ar@, and a A12" for a A#@. 
 
L   LOCATION 1 - ACCOUNT CODE FOR THE PHONE #1  (6 segments, numerical data) 
The account code sent when Phone #1 is dialed is programmed in location 1. Program a A10" in the segment 
immediately after the last digit of the account code.   If the account code is 6 digits long, program all 6 segments.  
 
L   LOCATION 2 - COMMUNICATOR FORMAT FOR PHONE #1  (1 segment, numerical data) 
Location 2 contains the communicator format used to transmit to the receiver connected to Phone #1. Consult the 
instructions for your central station receiver to determine which format is compatible.  Select a format from Table X-1  
COMMUNICATOR FORMAT SELECTIONS.  If you require a format other than those listed, review the override 
options described in location 18, to build the appropriate format.  A "15" must be programmed in location 2 in addition 
to the entries in location 18 in order to create a special format.  If this location contains a "0", the built-in communicator 
will be disabled, and the NX-8E will function as a local only control.

L   LOCATION 3 - DIAL ATTEMPTS/BACKUP CONTROL FOR PHONE # 1  (2 segments, numerical data) 
 
Segment 1- Dial attempts: Location 3, Segment 1 is used to enter the number of dial attempts (1 to 15 Attempts) the 
communicator will make to Phone #1 before ending the notification process.  Factory default is "8" and the 
communicator will make eight (8) attempts to the first number. 
 
Segment 2- Phone #1 Backup Control: Programming a "0" in Segment 2 of this location will cause the NX-8E to 
make the designated number of attempts to Phone #2 before setting the "Fail To Communicate" condition and stop 
reporting. Programming a "1" in this segment will cause the NX-8E to stop trying to communicate after the designated
