The NX-548E Receiver adds wireless capabilities to the 
NetworX line of control panels. Adding a receiver makes these 
control panels compatible with NX wireless transmitters.
Only three wire connections are required for power and commu-
nication to the control panel.

For internal mounting, mount the receiver inside the control 
panel enclosure. Use the following installation guidelines:

• Leave at least 10 in. (25 cm) above the control panel for the 

receiver’s antennas.

• Avoid areas that expose the receiver to moisture.
• Avoid areas with excessive metal or electrical wiring, 

including furnaces and utility rooms.

To mount the receiver, do the following:
1.

Remove the appropriate knockouts on the top of the control 
panel enclosure for the antenna shrouds.

2.

Assemble the antenna shrouds and fit the black O-rings to 
the bottom of each shroud.

3.

Insert the shrouds into the knockout holes (Figure 1).

4.

Use the mounting screw provided to loosely install the edge 
guide standoff in the lower mounting hole in the appropriate 
space to the left of the control panel (Figure 2). Do not 
tighten the mounting screw down at this time.

 

5.

Slide the printed circuit board into the antennae shroud 
slots, after inserting wires into antennae shrouds (Figure 3).

You must be free of static electricity before 
handling circuit boards. Touch a bare metal 
surface or wear a grounding strap to 
discharge yourself.
