Section 1: Introduction
Your installer has set up your system with your home or business in mind. You may
not need all of the features described in this manual. Your installer will only turn
on the features that you need, and should explain all the active features to you. If
you have any questions about which features are active on your system, ask your
installer.
How Your
System Works
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.
4
Introduction
Fire Detection 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.
Te s ti n g To make sure your system continues to work as intended, you must test your sys-
tem weekly. Please refer to Testing Your System on page 18. If your system does
not work correctly, call your installer for service.
Remote
Monitoring
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.
Maintenance 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 Replacing
Batteries on page 24.
NOTE: The NT9005 is only compatible with DSC wireless devices.

Section 2: Using Your NT9005 System
Operating the
System from
the NT9005
Controller
LCD
The NT9005 controller provides a large, easy to understand LCD to help you to use
your system.
You can check the current status of your system by viewing the LCD. The NT9005
will display the time, whether the system is currently on (armed) or off (disarmed),
if any zones are currently open or bypassed (turned off), and if there are any trouble conditions currently present on the system.
1 Clock Digits 1, 2 – These
two 7 segment clock digits
indicate the hour digits when
the local clock is active, and
identify the zone when the
OPEN or ALARM icons are
active. These two digits scroll
one zone per second from
the lowest zone number to
the highest when scrolling
through zones.
2 : (Colon) – This icon is the hours/minutes divider and will flash once a second when the
local clock is active.
3 Clock Digits 3 and 4 – These two clock digits are the minute digits when the local clock is
active.
41 to 8 – These icons identify Troubles when [*][2] is pressed.
5Memory – Indicates that there are alarms in memory.
6Bypass – Indicates that there are zones automatically or manually bypassed.
7Fire – Indicates that there are fire alarms in memory.
8 Program – indicates that the system is in Installer’s Programming, or the keypad is busy.
9
Chime – This icon turns on when [*][4] or
Chime is pressed to enable Door Chime
on the system. Press [*][4] or
10 AM, PM – This icon indicates that the local clock is displaying 12 Hr. time. These icons will
not be on if the system is programmed for 24Hr. time.
11 Away – Indicates that the panel is armed in the Away mode. It will turn on at the begin-
ning of the exit delay.
12 Stay – Indicates that the panel is armed in the Stay mode. It will turn on at the beginning
of the exit delay.
13 ALARM – This icon is used with clock digits 1 and 2 to indicate zones in alarm on the sys-
tem. When a zone is in alarm, the ALARM icon will turn on, and 7 segment displays 1 and
2 will scroll through the zones in alarm.
14 OPEN – This icon is used with clock digits 1 and 2 to indicate violated zones (not alarm) on
the system. When zones are opened, the OPEN icon will turn on, and clock digits 1 and 2
will scroll through the violated zones.

Section 3: Turning Your System On
(Arming) and Off (Disarming)
This section describes how to turn your system on and off. Read this section carefully.
Tur nin g O n
Your System
1. Before you turn on your system, make sure that it is Ready. You can tell that the
system is ready when the green (Ready) light is ON. If the green light is not on,
see the Note below.
2. Enter your access code on the keypad. If you have entered the wrong code, the
keypad will sound one long beep - try again to enter the correct code.
When you enter a valid access code:
• The keypad sounds fast beeps.
• The red (Armed) light turns ON.
• The keypad starts to beep once every second. This tells you that the system
is turning on (Audible Exit Delay).
3. If you will be leaving, go out through the entry/exit door. Doing this tells the sys-
tem that you are away, and the system turns on completely.
If you will be staying, do not open the entry/exit door. This tells the system that
you are staying, and the system turns on only the perimeter areas.
NOTE: If the green (Ready) light is not ON:
• Close all doors and windows
• Stop motion in all areas with motion detectors
If the yellow (Trouble) light is ON, check for possible trouble conditions (see
Checking Trouble Conditions on page 16), and check that no zones are
turned off unintentionally (see Turning Off Part of Your System (Bypassing
Zones) on page 15).
7
Tur nin g O ff
Your System
1. If you are outside, enter through the entry/exit door. The keypad beeps to
remind you to turn off the system.
NOTE: Entering by any other door will immediately cause an alarm.
2. Enter your [access code]. If you have entered from outside, you must enter the
correct access code before the keypad stops beeping. If you do not enter a valid
access code during this time, the system will sound an alarm.
NOTE: If you have entered the wrong code the keypad will sound one long
beep - try again to enter the correct code.
As soon as you enter the correct code, the red (Armed) light turns OFF and the
keypad stops beeping.
3. If an alarm occurred while the system was ON, the NT9005 will display the
Memory icon. See Checking Alarms in Memory on page 14.
CAUTION: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you
were away, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to
a nearby safe location, and call your central station or the local authorities
to investigate. The alarm memory is cleared each time the system is turned
on, so any alarms showing have occurred while you were away.
Other Ways to
Tur n Your
System On
There are two basic methods for turning on your security system.
• Away: Use this method when everyone will be away from the premises. See 9.
• Stay: Use this method when one or more people will stay on the premises. See
10.
You can also use any of the following methods to turn on your system (see pages
10 to 11):
• Quick Arming: Turn on your system without having to enter an access code.
Your installer must turn on this feature before it will work.
• No Entry Arming: Turn on your system with no entry delay time - use this
method when no one else will be entering the premises.
• Automatic Arming: The system will turn itself on at pre-set times. Your
installer must turn on this feature before it will work.
