First Steps in Security System Troubleshooting The Networx NX-8 Panel, paired with the 148-E LCD touchpad, provides users with easy-to-understand status updates. For starters, let’s break down how to acknowledge your alarm system’s “trouble status” and go from there. In some cases, the issue will require a service call from a technician to resolve. More frequently, you’ll need to take some simple corrective action. Occasionally, you won’t need to take any action other than acknowledging a past issue with your alarm.

In addition to knowing what your alarm’s trouble alert means, you’ll want to know how to fix it. From there, we’ll discuss some of the most frequent issues that arise on this particular alarm panel. Therefore, we’ll begin with a look at how to diagnose any trouble signals stemming from your alarm. Once your alarm starts beeping, you’ll want to know exactly how to proceed in order to fix the issue. In this post, we examine security system troubleshooting for the NX-8 panel.

The keypad option that we installed with this system - the “148E” LCD keypad, looks nearly identical. The Interlogix NX-8 panel uses the same exact sensors and contacts as the Concord panel.

In last week’s post, we dove into Diagnosing Security System Trouble Signals on a Concord Panel.
