auxiliary outputs before you upgrade.
Writing from the PC to the NX-588E
To write firmware from the PC to the NX-588, do the following:
1. Connect the NX-588E to the USB port.
2. Double-click the shortcut to NXProg.exe. The NX-588E
must be connected before this step or the application
needs to be closed and restarted to work properly. The
application automatically selects the COM port where the
NX-588E is installed.
3. Select Open file and find the desired file.
4. Select Transfer file. The DS6 LED on the NX-588E flashes
slowly (once per second). The NXProg application
indicates, in a prompt above the status bar, whether the
firmware was successfully written or not. Refer to Figure 1
on page 3 for LED descriptions, or “Troubleshooting” on
page 5 for error descriptions.
5. When you finish, remove the NX-588E from the computer.
Writing firmware from your computer to the panel
To write firmware to a control panel or module from the
NX-588E with a computer connected, is first write the file to the
NX-588E, then write it to the control panel or module.
1. Connect the NX-588E to the USB port.
2. Double-click the shortcut to NXProg.exe. The NX-588E
must be connected before this step or the application must
be closed and restarted to work properly. The application
automatically selects the COM port where the NX-588E is
installed.
3. Select Open file and select the file you require.
4. Select Transfer file. The DS6 LED on the NX-588E flashes
slowly (once per second).
The NXProg application indicates, in a prompt above the
progress bar, whether the firmware was successfully written or
not. Refer to Figure 1 on page 3 for LED descriptions or
“Troubleshooting” on page 5 for error descriptions.
To flash the file from your computer, do the following:
1. Attach the 5-pin cable of the NX-588E to the control
panel’s or module’s J9 program connector (Figure 2
below).
Figure 2: J9 programming connector
Note: For boards with a nonkeyed program connector, PIN 1 is
located by the designator (J9) on the circuit board.
2. If the panel/module is not already powered up, connect to
AC (not battery only) before starting the flash process.
3. Select Upgrade to upgrade the firmware. The DS6 LED
flashes as the firmware is written. The DS6 LED becomes
solid when the upgrade is complete, and flashes three
times per second if the upgrade fails. The NXProg
application indicates, in a prompt above the progress bar,
whether the firmware was successfully written or not. (See
“Troubleshooting” on page 5 for a list of error
descriptions.)
2. When you finish, remove the NX-588E from the computer
and the control panel.
Writing firmware from the NX-588E to the panel
To write firmware to a control panel or module from the
NX-588E directly to the panel, do the following:
1. Connect the NX-588E to the USB port.
2. Double-click the shortcut to NXProg.exe. The NX-588E
must be connected before this step or the application
needs to be closed and restarted to work properly. The
application automatically selects the COM port where the
NX-588E is installed.
3. Select Open file and find the file desired.
4. Select Transfer file.
The DS6 LED flashes slowly (once per second). The NXProg
application indicates, in a prompt above the progress bar,
whether the firmware was successfully written or not. (See
