I have my NX-8 installed and working. I have two things I can not figure out however. Main thing is I want to turn of the exit delay sounds. I have read everything in the manuals and I can not make the blame sound shut up. If someone has some experience with this system I would appreciate some help.
The other thing is service light. It stays on and shows a problem with expansion box tamper swithch. Well, I don't have a tamper switch set up or an expansion box. Unless that is the main box it refers too.
I am about to pull my hair out with these two things!

The exit delay sound is controlled by the keypad options (*93, turn on option 2) you have to set it on each keypad.
Likely you accidentally turned on the box tamper when you were programming (assuming no add on boards; their tampers are enabled by default, and you have to put jumpers on the terminals involved).
The main panel tamper is location 37, segment 2 option 8 needs to be off.

This is what I have been doing :wall:
You were on track with your answer:
Likely you accidentally turned on the box tamper when you were programming (assuming no add on boards; their tampers are enabled by default, and you have to put jumpers on the terminals involved).
The problem was two fold. One, while I was reading the manual, I wasn't reading the manual for the expansion board! When I read your answer something clicked with me. I double checked the programing to make sure I had not turned it on and I had not. Matter of fact I had marked it to make sure it was off.
So I looked at my expansion board manual and sure as the world since I don't have a tamper switch installed I am supposed to jumper that circuit. It's amazing, I don't have to enter my code twice to make it disarm. The panels are now silent, just like I had them programed to! Everything works like it is supposed to.
I appreciate you answer VERY MUCH! I had forgotten about the manual for the expansion board so I don't know if I would have ever found that one!
THANKS!!

I got caught by that one when we first started installing the NX series panels. I spent a good chunk of an afternoon going through the program line by line before I discovered that the expansion board tampers are hardwired on most of the expansion boards.
