Browse Forums Safer Living 1 Oct 12, 2011 12:12 pm G'day all, I've purchased an "NX Series Code Pad NX-1508 8 Zone LED Code Pad" with the view of adding this to the Hills R8 System we have already installed. This should in my opinion be a simple job of attaching the new (extra) codepad to the board at terminals 9 - Data, 8 - Com & 7 - Pos. Is there anything else I need to do in terms of wiring? I've done this in the past with a DAS 2500 system, which isn't too dissimilar to the R8, and that was as easy as connecting the new codepad to the terminals on the board - can't see why this should be any different. Thanks all. Dave.

Hope this is right? Re: Extra CodePad for Hills R8 Alarm system 4Nov 03, 2011 6:52 pm Easy As... Connected the three wires, reprogrammed from scratch - as my installer changed the "Go to Programming" code, tested and working like a charm. The programming is fairly easy once you get the hang of Zones, Areas, Segments, and segment values. Thanks TUBBYM! Even if it's not being sub-divided and you want to keep it as Torrens title, you will still need to talk to a town planner or Council themselves, to see if they will allow… 1 11039 Thanks again Simeon for being so elaborate.
