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.

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.

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.

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.
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
tem that you are away, and the system turns on completely.
If you will be staying
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

Tur nin g O f f 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 You r System On
There are two basic methods for turning on your security system.
: Use this method when everyone will be away from the premises. See
Away
page 9.
: Use this method when one or more people will stay on the premises. See
Stay
page 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.
