Arming and Disarming Your System 
You may arm and disarm partitions from an NXG-18xx keypad.  
Only users with an authorized user code (Level 2 user) will be allowed to use the 
xGenConnect alarm system. Users with no valid user code (Level 1 user) do not 
have access as defined by EN 50131-3.  
Keypress Tamper 
The NXG-18xx keypad will be locked in screensaver mode when unused for 
a preset time. This stops unauthorized users from interacting with the system or 
viewing detailed status. 
A valid PIN is required to unlock the screen and access the system. Users can 
set PIN codes between 4 and 8 digits in length. 
Note: EN 50131 Grade 2 required settings – there are no disallowed account 
codes. 5 digits minimum to provide 10,000 possible combinations. 
Lock Out on 3 Invalid Attempts 
If an invalid PIN code is entered three times, the keypad will deny all login 
attempts for 90 seconds. Attempts are counted from any method (e.g. keypad, 
app, or web page). You must wait the full 90 seconds before trying again with the 
correct PIN. This is to prevent brute-force attacks on guessing PIN codes. 
Arm Your System with NXG-1820-EUR keypad 
Arm Your System in Away Mode 
Enter a valid PIN code to unlock the screen. 
Touch the Away or Away + button to arm your system in Away mode. 
   
The icon will change to red when the alarm system is set in away mode. 
If your system has multi-partition control enabled, the Away + button will be 
displayed. 
A valid PIN code will need to be entered to determine what permissions they 
have, this includes which Partitions and at what time/day that user has access.
