IMPORTANT
NOTICE
Your security system consists of a DSC NT9005 controller and various wireless
devices.
The controller is the “brain” of your security system. It controls and checks all the
detectors, and communicates with the central station (if remote monitoring is
enabled). You will access system functions with your NT9005 controller, which is
described on pages 2 and 3 of this manual. Each NT9005 has a siren, number pad,
emergency keys, and five function keys.
Using the NT9005 keypad you can send commands to the system and check the
current system status. Your installer will mount the NT9005 in a convenient location inside your premises.
Your security system can provide monitoring of intrusion, fire, and emergency.
The security system has several zones (monitored areas). Each of these zones will
have a detector (motion detector, glassbreak detector, door contact, etc.). A detector sends signals to the NT9005 which will respond according to programming.
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert
you and – if the system is remotely monitored – your central station of an
emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they
may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your security system
should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who
should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and
on system operations. For important warnings and cautions, see page 32.

Introduction
Fire Detection
Te s ti n g
Remote
Monitoring
Maintenance
This NT9005 controller is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as
smoke detectors and providing a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire
detection depends on having an adequate number of detectors placed in appropriate locations. The system must be installed in accordance with NFPA 72
(N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269). Carefully review
Fire Safety
on
page 21.
NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment for it to work.
To make sure your system continues to work as intended, you must test your system weekly. Please refer to
Testing your System
on page 18. If your system does
not work correctly, call your installer for service.
This system can send alarms, troubles and emergency messages over telephone
lines to a central station. If you accidentally initiate an alarm, immediately call the
central station to prevent an unnecessary response.
NOTE: Your installer must enable remote monitoring for it to work.
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance, but please note the
following points:
1. Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a
slightly moistened cloth should remove normal dust accumulations.
2. Use the system test described on page 18 to check the battery condition of the
NT9005 controller. DSC recommends that the standby battery be replaced
every three years.
3. Consult the manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance instructions
for other system devices such as smoke detectors, motion detectors, and glassbreak detectors. For instructions on replacing detector batteries, see
Batteries
on page 24
.
Replacing
NOTE: The NT9005 is only compatible with DSC wireless devices.

• The red (Armed) light turns ON.
• The exit delay time begins and the keypad beeps once every second. The
keypad beeps quickly (twice per second) for the last 10 seconds of the exit
delay time.
3. Exit the premises through the entry/exit door. Doing this tells the system that
you are away, and the system turns on all the interior zones.
At the end of the exit delay time, all keypad lights, except the red (Armed) light,
turn OFF. The system is now ON.
NOTE: If the Bypass icon is ON, there could be one or more zones not
turned on. See Turning Off Part of Your System (Bypassing Zones) on page
15. If you turn on the system with a zone bypassed or a trouble present,
your security protection is reduced.

You may also be able to turn on your system in Away mode using the
Away
button on your keypad. Press and hold it for two seconds to turn ON the system in
Away mode.
Your installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system.
What to Do if
the Siren
Sounds
Immediately
After You Exit
In order to reduce false alarms, the system can notify you of an improper exit
when turning on the system in the Away mode. If you do not securely close the
entry/exit door during the exit time, the keypad will emit one continuous beep and
the siren will sound.
If this occurs:
1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your [access code] to turn off the system. You must do this before the
entry time ends.
3. Turn the system on again, making sure to close the entry/exit door properly.

Part of Your
System
(Bypassing
Zones)
Sometimes, you may need to temporarily turn off one or more detectors (e.g., if
you need to go into a protected area while the system is turned on or if a detector
is temporarily out of service but you need to turn on the system).
This is called “bypassing”. When you bypass a detector, it
next time you turn on your system.
Detectors (zones) cannot be bypassed once the system is on. Bypasses on detectors are automatically cancelled each time the system is turned off. You must
bypass the detectors again, if required, before you turn the system on again.
Bypassing a Zone

1. Start with the system turned off. Press .
2. An [access code] may be required. If it is the the display will go blank. If this
happens, enter your [access code].
3. Enter the two-digit number (01-32) of the detector you want to turn off (bypass).
The system will scroll all bypassed detectors.
To find out the number of a detector, check in
TIP:
4. To turn a detector back on, enter the two-digit number of the zone (01-32).
The system will return the zone to normal status and the zone will be ON when
the system is next armed.
The system will then scroll all bypassed zones.
5. When you are finished turning off detectors, press .
6. The next time you turn on your system, the bypassed detectors
on. When you turn your system off again, all zones will return to normal (they
will not be bypassed).
Bypassing a Group of Zones
Two groups of pre-programmed zones can be stored for future use.
1 Bypass all zones you wish to group as described above.
2 Enter 95 to store the zones in group 1 or 96 to store them in group 2.
3 To recall group 1 press 91; to activate group 2 press 92
NOTE: Bypassed detectors will not be able to sound an alarm - this reduces
your level of security. If a detector is not working, call a service technician
immediately so that the problem can be resolved and your system returned
to proper working order.

Section 7: Fire Safety
Read this section carefully. It contains important information about fire safety.
Household
Fire Safety
Audit
Fire Escape
Planning
Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a
household fire safety audit be done and a fire escape plan be created.
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed
cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition
of your electrical appliances or household service, have a professional evaluate
these units.
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well-ventilated,
cool area? Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are fire-hazardous materials (e.g., matches) well out of reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in
good working order? Have a professional evaluate these appliances.
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it
becomes deadly. Therefore it is very important to develop and rehearse a family
escape plan.
1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since
many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape
routes from sleeping quarters.
3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior door.
Consider the following when making your escape plans:
• Make sure that all exterior doors and windows are easily opened. Ensure that
they are not painted shut, and that their locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
• If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly, or the handicapped, plans for rescue should be developed. This includes making sure that
those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be
provided as well as training in its use.
• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from
exterior patio doors in winter. Outdoor furniture or equipment should not block
exits.
• Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point where everyone
can be accounted for (e.g., across the street or at a neighbor’s house). Once
everyone is out of the building, call the Fire Department.
21
• A good plan emphasizes a quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight
the fire, and do not gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable time.
Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for the fire department.
• Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an
emergency arise, everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions
change, such as the number of people in the home, or if there are changes to
the building’s construction.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests
(see
Checking Trouble Conditions
on Page 16). If you are unsure about sys-
tem operation, contact your installing dealer.
• We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further
information on fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire
prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.
22
Section 8: Guidelines for
Locating Smoke Detectors
Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments
with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable
quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in
most cases. For these reasons, smoke alarms should be
installed outside of each sleeping area and on each storey of the home.
The following information is for general guidance only
and it is recommended that local fire codes and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke
alarms.
It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond
those required for minimum protection be installed.
Additional areas that should be protected include: the
basement; bedrooms, especially where smokers sleep;
dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and any hallways not protected by the required units.
On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30
feet) apart as a guide. Other spacing may be required
depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult National
Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-S553-M86 or other
appropriate national standards for installation recommendations.
Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or
gabled ceilings; the dead air space in these locations
may prevent the unit from detecting smoke.
Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors,
fans or windows. Rapid air movement around the
detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit.
Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity.
Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature
rises above 38
Smoke detectors should always be installed in accor-
dance with NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code.
Smoke detectors should always be located in accordance with:
• Paragraph 2-2.1.1.1 of NFPA 72, Chapter 2: ‘
detectors shall be installed outside of each separate
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional storey of the family
living unit, including basements and excluding crawl
spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction, a
smoke detector also shall be installed in each sleeping room’.
• Paragraph 2-2.1.1.2 of NFPA 72, Chapter 2: ’Split
level arrangement: Smoke detectors are required
where shown. Smoke detectors are optional where
a door is not provided between living room and
recreation room’.

Section 9: Replacing Batteries
F
rom time to time, the batteries in the detectors and other components of your system will
need to be changed. If a device has a low battery, your system will display a trouble message (see
When the batteries in one device need to be replaced, it is suggested that the batteries in all
system devices be replaced at the same time. The batteries used in the devices are Eveready
Alkaline Energizer or Energizer Lithium batteries.
NOTE:
tral station.
Checking Trouble Conditions
Before changing the batteries in the detectors, you should inform your cen-
on page 16
).
Tips for
Buying
Batteries
• Your system is designed to work with either Eveready Alkaline Energizer or Lithium bat-
teries according to the individual device. When replacing batteries, be sure to buy the
same brand and type. Do not replace the batteries with any other type. The reliability of
your security system depends on its batteries, and “no name” or generic brand batteries
may not provide the best quality and dependability.
• Use fresh batteries. Most batteries have a “best before” date printed on their packaging
or on the batteries themselves. Buy batteries that have a “best before” date of two
years or more from your purchase date.
• When disposing of used batteries, follow the instructions and precautions printed on
the batteries. Many cities and communities have collection sites or disposal services.
Contact your municipal offices for more information.
• If in doubt about the batteries used in your system, or if you have trouble installing
them, contact your installer for assistance.

After you change the batteries on your system, the system may display trouble conditions.
A zone tamper should be displayed for each detector that had batteries changed. A zone
fault may also be displayed for these detectors. Refer to
on page 16 for information on checking zone faults and zone tampers.
Be sure to perform a complete test of your system after new batteries are installed to ensure
that all detectors are working properly (see

where it may not provi de protect ion. Any al arm system of any ty pe may be compromised deliberately or may fa il to operate as expected for a variety of reasons .
Some but not all of these reasons m ay be:
■Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in or der to provide adequate pr otection. Every inst allation sho uld be evaluated by a security pro fessional to ensure that
all access points and areas a re covered. Locks and latches on windows and doo rs
must be secure and opera te as intended. Windows, door s, walls, ceilings and other
building materia ls must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the
level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police depa rtment is highly recommended if this service is available.
■ Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security feat ures which were known to be effective at the time
of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques
which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is impo rtant that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its fea tures remai n effective and th at it
be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
■ Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing
device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage, dis connect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the system.
■ Power Failure
controllers, intrusion detectors, sm oke detector s and many o ther securi ty devices
require an adequate power supply for pr oper operation. If a device operates from
batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batterie s have not failed,
they must be charged, in good condition and installed co rrectly. If a device operates
only by AC power, any interrupt ion, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any leng th are often
accompanied by voltage fluctuatio ns which may damage electronic equipment su ch
as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct
a complete system test to ensur e that the system operates a s intended.
■ Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have bee n designed to provide several years of
battery life under normal con ditions. The exp ected battery life is a func tion of the
device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity,
high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the
expected battery life. W hile each transmittin g device has a low battery monitor
which identifies when the ba tteries need to be repla ced, this mo nitor may fail to
operate as expect ed. Regular testing and maint enance will keep the system in good
operating condition.
■ Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circums tances whic h could include
metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate j amming or ot her inadvertent radio signal interference.
■ System Users
A user may not be able to operate a pan ic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or
unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important that all system users be
trained in the correct operation of the alarm syst em and that they know how to
respond when the system indic ates an alarm .
■ Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly ale rt occupants of a
fire for a number of reasons, so me of which follow. The sm oke detector s may have
been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke m ay not be able to reach the smoke
detectors, such as when the fire is in a ch imney, walls or roofs, o r on the other side
of closed doors . Smoke detectors may not de tect smoke from fires on another level
of the residenc e or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning.
Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may
not provide t imely warning of fires cause d by carelessness or sa fety hazards such as
smoking in bed, viol ent explosions, es caping gas, impro per storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electric al circuits, children playi ng with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when
there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury
or death.
■ Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect mo tion within the designated area s as shown in
their respective installation instr uctions. They ca nnot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not pr ovide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in
unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which
occurs behind walls, ceil ings, floor, closed doors, glass partit ions, glass doors or
windows. Any typ e of tampering whether intentional or uni ntentional such as
masking, paintin g, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, win dows or
any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambi ent temperature rises near or
above body temperature or if the re are intentional or unintentional sources of heat
in or near the detect ion area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators,
stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
■ Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or
waken someone s leeping if t here is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices
are located on a differ ent level of the resid ence or premise, th en it is less likely that
the occupants will be a lerted or awakened. Audibl e warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning d evices, however loud,
may not be hea rd by a heari ng-impaired person.
■ Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for
certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its
operation by more sophisticate d means which may be difficult to detect.
■ Insufficient Time
There may be circu mstances when the system will operate as intend ed, yet the
occupants will not be protected from the emergen cy due to their inabil ity to respond
to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monit ored, the resp onse may
not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongi ngs.
■ Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as poss ible, the
system may fail to function as in tended due to the failure of a component.
■ Inadequate Testing
Most problem s that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intend ed can
be found by r egul ar testing and mainten ance. The complete system should be tested
weekly and immediately after a break-in, an atte mpted break-in, a fire, a storm, an
earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the
premises. The test ing should include all sensing devic es, keypads, consoles, alarm
indicating devic es and any oth er operatio nal devices that are part of the syste m.
■ Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life
insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or
other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize t he harmful effects of an
emergency situation.
