Section 2: Completing Wiring

This section describes special options for AC or battery power, and instructions on installing hardwired zones and the remote sounder.

2.1 AC and Battery Hookups

AC Terminals - AC

Connect the AC and telephone line wiring to the terminals
mounted on the NT9010 backplate. When you later attach the
NT9010 to the backplate, the posts on the back of the unit will
plug into the terminals, completing the connection.

For the NT9010 to work correctly,
you will need to connect it to an
AC power source that is not con­trolled by a switch. The system
comes with a 9V, 20VA plug-in
transformer. Connect the trans­former to an unswitched AC source and to the two terminals on
the backplate labelled AC.

The system can be programmed to accept a power line frequency
of either 50Hz AC or 60Hz AC in programming section [701],
option [1].

NOTE:Do not connect the transformer until all other wiring
is complete.

AC Power Line Frequency . . . . . . . . . Section [701], Option [1]

Battery Connection

The battery is used to provide back up power in the event of an
AC power failure and to provide additional current when the sys­tem demands exceed the power output of the transformer, such
as when the system is in alarm.

NOTE:Do not connect the battery until all other wiring is
complete.

Connect the RED battery lead to the positive of the battery, the
BLACK battery lead to the negative.

The High Current Charge/Standard Battery Charge option
(section [701], option [7]) allows you to choose between a high
current battery charge and the standard battery charge rate.

High Current/Standard Battery Charge Section [701], Option [7]

2.2 Telephone Connection Terminals - TIP,

RING, T-1, R-1

If a telephone line is
required for central station
communication or for
downloading, connect an
RJ-31X jack to the R-1, T-1,
RING, and TIP terminals on
the backplate as shown
below.

NOTE: Please ensure that all

plugs and jacks meet the
dimension, tolerance and
metallic plating require­ments of 47 C.F.R. Part 68,
SubPart F. For proper operation there must be no other

telephone equipment connected between the control
panel and the telephone company facilities.
Do not connect the alarm system communicator to tele­phone lines intended for use with a FAX machine. These
lines may incorporate a voice filter which disconnects the
line if anything other than FAX signals are detected, result­ing in incomplete transmissions.

2.3 Zone Wiring

You can connect up to two hardwired zones to the NT9010. For
the hardwired zones to work correctly, you must enroll them with
the system (see section 5.3 “Enrolling Hardwired Zones” on
page 16). For a complete description of the operation of all zone
types, please see section 5.1 “Zone Definitions” on page 15.

Use the following NT9010 terminals to
make your zone connections:

There are two different ways in which
zones may be wired, depending on
which programming options have been
selected. The system can be programmed
to supervise normally closed, or Single
End of Line loops. Please refer to the following sections to study
each type of individually supervised zone wiring.

Normally Closed (NC) Loops

To enable normally closed loops, programming section [013],
option [1] must be ON.

NOTE: This option should only be selected if Normally
Closed (NC) devices/contacts are being used.

Normally Closed Loops . . . . . . . . . . . .Section [013], Option [1]

Single End Of Line (EOL) Resistors

To enable system detection of single end-of-line resistors, pro­gramming section [013], option [1] must be OFF.

NOTE: This option should be selected if either Normally
Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) detection devices or
contacts are being used.

End of Line Resistors . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Section [013], Option [1]

Keyswitch Zone Wiring

Zones may be programmed to be used as keyswitch arming
zones and must be wired according to the following diagram:

2.4 Connecting the Remote Sounder

You can connect a hardwired remote sounder to the NT9010 sys­tem. This sounder provides an additional station for the NT9010
to sound alarms and system status, and for central station talk/
listen-in sessions.

Connect the remote sounder to the NT9010 control unit as
shown below:

For the sounder to work on the system you must also turn on the
Remote Annunciation option. When this option is turned on,
the remote sounder will also be supervised.

The Local Annunciation option controls the sounder in the
NT9010 control unit. If you turn this option off, there will be no
alarms or voice prompts from the NT9010. If both options are on,
there will be sound from both the NT9010 and the Remote
Sounder.

If there is a Remote Sounder on the system and it does not report
a supervisory signal within 30 seconds, a “Service Required”
trouble will be generated, and a “Bell Circuit Trouble” event will
be logged in the buffer.

See also section 5.13 “Talk/Listen-in Programming” on page 21.

Section 3: Programming the NT9010

The following section of the manual describes how to use the advanced programming sections. For instructions on using the Installation
Wizard, please see the Quick Set Up Guide.

3.1 How to Enter Advanced Programming

You can use the Advanced Programming to set all communicator
and system options. The Installer Code is [5555] at default, but
should be changed to prevent unauthorized access to program­ming.

NOTE: After you exit from the Installation Wizard or
Advanced Programming, the system will reset itself. This
will take 15 seconds. Do not attempt to perform any system
function during this reset period.

Step 1: From any keypad enter [*][8][Installer Code].

• The System light will flash and the Armed light will turn on to
indicate you are in programming

• The NT9010 will announce “To use the Wizard press 1. To
bypass the Wizard press 2.”

Step 2: To skip the Installation Wizard and go to the advanced
programming sections, press [2].

Step 3: Enter the 3-digit section number you want to program.

• The Armed light will turn off and the Ready light will turn on
to indicate the system is ready for the information for the
selected section

• You can use the Forward (Playback) button to go forwards
through the advanced programming data. The Backward
(Record) button will not work in the advanced programming
sections, except for sections [301] to [303], and [402].

Step 4: Sections [802], [804], or [807] have 2- or 3-digit sub-sec­tions. To access programming in these sections enter the pro­gramming sub-section number.

NOTE: If the section number entered is not valid, the
NT9010 will sound an error tone and say the section num­ber that was entered.

Installer Code. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [006]

3.2 Programming Decimal Data

When the Ready light is ON the NT9010 is waiting for the infor­mation to be programmed for the selected section.

If a digit is entered for each program box in a section the system
will automatically exit from the section. It will turn OFF the Ready
light and turn the Armed light back ON.

You can also press the [#] key to exit a section before entering
data for every box. This is handy if you only need to change the
first few program boxes. All other locations in the section will
remain unchanged. If the [#] key is pressed the system will turn
OFF the Ready light, turn ON the Armed light and exit from the
section.

You can use also the Forward (Playback) button to go forwards
through the programming data. The Backward (Record) button
will not work in the advanced programming sections.

3.3 Programming Hexadecimal Data

You may need to enter hexadecimal (HEX) digits for some of the
programming sections. To program a HEX digit press the function
button corresponding to the HEX digit you want to program:

Button Name HEX Digit

Stay A

Away B

Chime C

Exit D

Status E

Vol ume F

If you enter information into a section and make a mistake, press
the [#] key to exit the section. Select that section again and re­enter the information correctly.

If you are using a pulse communications format, a decimal zero
[0] does not transmit. Programming a zero [0] tells the system
not to send any pulses for that digit. To make a zero [0] transmit,
it must be programmed as a Hexadecimal ‘A’.

3.4 Programming Toggle Options

Some sections contain several toggle options. Refer to the Pro­gramming Worksheets to determine what each option repre-

sents. When you enter a toggle option section, the NT9010
recites the numbers of the options that are currently ON.

Press the number corresponding to the option to toggle it ON or
OFF. Once all the toggle options have been selected correctly
press the [#] key to exit the section and save the changes.

3.5 Programming Audio Labels

You can program audio labels for the system, and for each of the
zones. If you enroll the zones using the Installation Wizard, you
can choose from five pre-set labels for the zone (please see the
Quick Set Up Guide).

Alternatively, you can program custom labels using the advanced
programming sections. To program or change a label:

1. From Advanced Programming, enter section [807].

2. Enter the 3-digit sub-section number of the label ([561], or
[601] to [633]). The system announces the section number
and then recites the words presently programmed in the
label. Each label may have up to six words. The system then
prompts:

“Enter three digit word. To exit, press pound”.

3. Enter the 3-digit code for each word you want to program.
You can enter up to six words for each label. Please see
Appendix A: “Audio Label Library” in the Programming
Worksheets for a list of the 3-digit codes for each available
word. To add numbers to a label, see “Adding Numbers to
Labels” on page 6.

If your label is less than six words,

press [#] at the end of the label.
