The NX-8 and the NX-8E can both do up to 8 partitions. Which based on its size is not surprising. It’s often used for people that have something like a shop or garage that is not necessarily attached to the main house. Almost like a completely separate alarm system, but still running off the one main circuit board. Partitions, for those who aren’t sure, are essentially a separate arming area. This makes this the largest, in number of zones, system we have.Īnother possible factor that could go into your decision on which panel, is the number of partitions. I like to think the ‘E’ stands for ‘Extra.’ It still has the 8 onboard zones that the NX-8 has, but instead of the measly 48 zones it can do a very impressive 192 zones. The last, and largest, of the NetworX line is the NX-8E. And some people will choose to get it over the previous 2 models even if they only need 7 or 8 zones for the simplicity of having all 8 zones available right on the panel. This makes it more widely applicable for most homes. But the total possible zones, hardwired or wireless, jumps up to 48. The NX-8 has, you guessed it, 8 zones onboard. For example if you needed to do 14 zones, you could do 12 or less of them hardwired, but at least 2 would need to be wireless. This is the most complicated of the models.

The NX-6 can be expanded to 12 hardwired zones, but with wireless it can do up to 16 zones. You may be seeing a pattern here in the model naming process. The NX-6 is the next panel up with 6 hardwired zones on the main board. This model is definitely designed for small applications, such as an apartment or small home, where only a few sensors are required to secure the premises. These can be hardwired or wireless zones. It has terminals for 4 hardwired zones and it can be doubled by adding 4 more zones for a total of 8. The NX-4 is the smallest of the four panels. But also each panel can be expanded to a different total maximum number of zones. Each panel comes with a different number of zones on the main board. The first and usually most important difference is the number of zones. There are just a couple key areas that will help the average person pick between the different models. They all use the same programming process, the same wiring structure, et cetera. Each one has the same basic features pretty much. There are four models of NetworX alarm panels: NX-4, NX-6, NX-8, and NX-8E. This makes the NetworX line highly customizable and extremely flexible to fit perfectly just about any installation. But the panels are modular which allows you to add whatever keypads and other modules that you need to meet the requirements that you have, including adding wireless capability. This means that in its base configuration out of the box it is a hardwired system. NetworX is a hardwired hybrid system, very similar to the Honeywell Vista and DSC PowerSeries. The NetworX line of alarm systems has survived multiple business purchases to make it to today where it is owned and manufactured by Interlogix.
