UPDATE - AUX Outputs on Interlogix GE Networx NX-8V DOES work
I spent hours troubleshooting and experimenting with settings needed.
To save you time, I am writing down my configuration as an example you can copy.
NOTE - you do not need EOL resistors on the AUX outputs for Konnected to read them. Attach one jumper wire per Konnected Zone to one of the AUX outputs. You do not need to create a loop or attach a resistor from the AUX terminal to any other terminal of the NX-8V panel !!
The programming locations and values listed below ARE SPECIFIC TO THE NX-8.
- If you have an NX-4 or 6 - DOUBLE CHECK YOUR MANUAL.
- programming locations and options available in the 4,6 and 8 models are NOT identical
See pages 37-40 in the NX-8V2 programming manual ( pages 41-44 of the pdf file)

LOCATION 45: Auxiliary Output Partition Selection;
4 segments
Each Segment controls an AUX output;
Segment 1 for AUX 1, Segment 2 for AUX 2, etc
Default for each segment lists ALL 8 partitions ("ON")
I don't know if it helped but my final setting ONLY included partition 1 for all 4 segments
- residential alarms generally do not use multiple partitions
- they control everything in Partition 1.)
- it was the only option i had remaining in my final setting
(all four segments only had "1" showing)
LOCATION 46: Auxiliary Outputs Special Timing
4 Segments - as above, each segment controls 1 AUX output
Turn OFF ALL OPTIONS; your system will have defaults set up (combinations of 2,3,6
This was the single most confusing and troublesome setting for me....
Option 2 for latching introduced all sorts of strange output behavior
You may want to choose option 6 for signal inverting
- it was the only option i had remaining in my final setting
(all four segments only had "6" showing)
Location 47-50:
Each contains 2 segments
Segment 1 = Event # to trigger the AUX output
Segment 2 = Timing for the output
Location 47 = AUX 1,
Location 48 = AUX 2,
Location 49 = AUX 3,
Location 50 = AUX 4
Use Table 8 in the manual to pick which events you would like to monitor
Use 0 for the event timing to make the output last as long as the event
My final settings were (in order):
Location 47 = 23,0 (Show me when the alarm panel Ready LED is lighted)
Location 48 = 21,0 (Show me when the alarm panel Armed LED is lighted)
Location 49 = 0,0 (Show me when a Burglary Alarm has been triggered)
Location 50 = 1,0 (Show me when a Fire Alarm has been triggered)
RECOMMENDED
- Set up every AUX to first show when the alarm panel is armed.
(program locations 47-50 to all be 21,0)
- you can then adjust the Konnected potentiometers to turn on/off their panel LED light by arming/disarming the alarm. once you have it adjusted so all 4 LEDS go on/off correctly, you can then reprogram the locations to the outputs you want...much faster than having to trigger alarms, listen to blaring sirens, arming and opening/closing doors to set each LED separately.
If you have not yet learned how to program your NX-8V
- I highly recommend watching the YouTube videos
Alarm System Store has a really good one on programming commands and steps
Their website have simplified tutorials with step-by-step instructions on simple changes like renaming zones, enrolling new sensors, etc
- Start with programming easy stuff like new codes, changing zone names using their tutorials
This will get you comfortable and confident of the programming process.
- Keep cheat sheets with you
- Write out the steps out on paper of any new programming first
- it's easier to follow the steps on the alarm keypad vs. trying to remember all the number combinations needed.
Always keep the STOP programming steps at the top of the paper
(pressing EXIT twice will stop the programming at almost any step of the process
- you can do this if you get lost, confused or are missing steps)
