WARNING Please Read Carefully

Note to Installe rs

This warnin g contains vi tal informat ion. As the only indivi dual in conta ct with sys­tem users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention
of the users o f this system .

System Failures

This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are cir­cumstances, however, involving fire, burgla ry, or othe r types of emergencies where
it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised
deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not
all of these r easons may be :

Inadequate Installation

■

A security syst em must be i nstall ed proper ly in orde r to provid e adequate protec ­tion. Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that
all access poi nts and ar eas are covered. Loc ks and latches on windows and doors
must be secure and op erate a s int en ded. Windows, do ors, walls , c eil ings an d ot he r
building materi als must be of sufficien t strength and construction to provide the
level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any con­struction act ivity. An evaluation by t he fire an d/or po lice de pa rtme nt is h ighly r ec ­ommended if this service is available.

Criminal Knowledge

■

This system contains security features 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 t hese f eat ures . It i s im port an t that a se curit y s ys­tem be reviewed peri odica ll y to en sure th at it s feat ure s re ma in effect ive and that it
be updated or re plac e d if it is fo und th at it doe s no t provide the pro tec ti on e xp ecte d.

Access by Intruders

■

Intruders may enter through an unprot ected access point, cir cumvent a sensing
device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage, discon­nect a warning d evice, or in ter fere wi th or pr event th e pro pe r ope ra tion of the s ys ­tem.

Power Failure

■

Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices
require an adequ ate power supply fo r proper ope ration. If a devic e operates from
batteries, it is po ss ible for the ba tt erie s to fai l. E ven if the bat te ries have not fai led,
they must be charged , in good cond ition and in stalled corr ectly . If a dev ice operates
only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inopera­tive while it does not have power. Power interruptions of a ny length are often
accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such
as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct
a complete sy stem test to e nsure that th e system oper ates as intend ed.

Failure of Replaceable Batteries

■

This system’s wirele ss t ra ns mitt ers h ave bee n desi gn ed to p rovide s everal yea rs of
battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a function 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. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor
which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to
operate as expect ed. Regular testin g and maintenanc e will keep the system in good
operating condition.

Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices

■

Signals may no t reach the rec eiver under all circums tances which c ould include
metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inad­vertent ra dio signal in terference.

System Users

■

A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to per­manent or tempor ary physical disa bility, inability to reach the device in time, or
unfamiliarity with the correct o peration. It is im portant that al l system users be
trained in the co rrect operation of the alarm system and that they know how to
respond when the system in dicates an al arm.

Smoke Detectors

■

Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a
fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have
been improp erly install ed or positi oned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke
detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or ro ofs, or on the ot her side

of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level
of the residence or building.

Every fire is different in th e amount of smoke pro duced and the ra te of burning.
Smoke detectors can not se ns e all ty pe s of fires eq ua lly we ll . Smo ke dete ct ors ma y
not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as
smoking in b ed, viol ent explos ions, es caping gas, im proper st orage o f flamma ble
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.

Even if the smoke d etector operates as intended, t here may be circ umstances when
there is insufficient warning to allow all oc cupants to esc ap e in time to avoid injury
or death.

Motion Detectors

■

Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in
their respective ins tallati on ins tructi ons. Th ey cann ot discr imin ate be tween in trud ­ers and intended oc cupant s. Motion de tectors do not provide volu metric area pro­tection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in
unobstructed areas covered by these beam s. They cannot detect m otion which
occurs behind walls, ceilin gs, floor, closed do ors, glass p artitions, gl ass doors o r
windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as
masking, pain ting , or s pray ing of any m aterial on the le nses , mirr ors, windows o r
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 red uced whe n the am bi ent te mp erat ur e rise s ne ar or
above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat
in or near the detection 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, bel ls, horns, or str obes may not warn peopl e or
waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices
are located on a di fferent level of the residen ce or premise, then it is less likely that
the occupants wil l b e ale rt ed or awaken ed. Audi bl e warn in g device s m ay b e i nter ­fered with by other nois e sour ces such as st er eos, radio s, tel evisi ons, air con di tion ­ers or other a ppli anc es, or p as sing tr affic. Aud ible war ning devic es, however loud,
may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.

T elephone Lines

■

If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for
certain period s of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephon e line or defeat it s
operation by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.

Insufficient Time

■

There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the
occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to respond
to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may
not occur in t i me to protect the occupan ts or their be longings.

Component Failure

■

Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the
system may f ail to functi on as intende d due to the f ailure of a component.

Inadequate Testing

■

Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can
be found by re gu la r tes ti ng an d ma inte na nce . The co mple te syst em shoul d b e test ed
weekly and imme diate ly after a br eak- in , an at temp te d brea k- in, a fire, a st or m, a n
earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the
premises. The t esti ng shou ld inc lu de a ll sen sin g devic es , keyp ads, con so les, al ar m
indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.

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 occupa nts to ac t prude ntly to p revent or mi nimize t he harm ful effects of an
emergency situation.

Draw a rough sketch of the building. Find good locations for the NT9010 control
unit and all the detectors. Here are some guidelines for choosing good mounting
locations.

Choosing a NT9010 Mounting Location

Before you mount the NT9010, you should find a place that is:

•Dry

• Far from sources of interference, including:

■

electrical noise such as computers, televisions and electric motors in appli­ances and heating and air conditioning units.

■

large metal objects like heating ducts and plumbing which may shield the
antenna.

Choosing Mounting Locations for Wireless Devices

Each type of wireless device has its own set of guidelines for mounting locations.
Before deciding on mounting locations, make sure that you review the guidelines in
the Installation Instructions that come with each device.

1.2.3 Prepare the
Mounting
Location

1.2.4 Installing the
NT9010

Once you have selected a suitable place for the NT9010 control unit, make sure
that you will be able to connect the AC power and the telephone line to the
NT9010. If necessary, have an electrician route AC wiring to the mounting location,
and have a telephone installer route the incoming telephone line to the mounting
location.

Mounting the NT9010 Backplate

The NT9010 backplate is the blue-grey piece of plastic that comes attached to the
back of the NT9010 control unit. This is the mounting plate for the NT9010 unit. It
also provides terminals for connecting the wiring to the NT9010.

Figure 2: AC and Telephone Line Wiring

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.

AC Terminals

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.

NOTE:

Risk of fire if the rated voltage is not used. Do not power the
Envoy controller at a voltage higher than 9V AC. Use only transformer
Model PTD920 as supplied with the unit.

NOTE:

Do not connect the transformer to a power supply until all other
wiring is complete.

NOTE:

If you remove power from the unit (AC and battery), you must
wait at least 10 seconds before reapplying power.

Telephone Terminals - TIP, RING, T-1, R-1

If a telephone line is required for users to have local or remote telephone access to the
system, 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 in Figure 2.

NOTE:

Please ensure that all plugs and jacks meet the dimension, toler­ance and metallic plating requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations,
Title 47, 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 panel 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.

Connecting Zone Wiring – Hardwired

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 2.3.3 Enrolling
Hardwired Zones on page 39). For a complete description of the operation of all
zone types, please see 2.3.1 Zone Definitions on page 36.

Chapter 1: Quick Set Up

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

Keyswitch Zone Wiring

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

For a complete description of how key­switch zones operate, see 2.3.1 Zone
Definitions on page 36.

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
“Remote Sounder Trouble” event will be logged in the buffer.

To ensure that the NT9010 works properly, you should enroll all

PIR’s covering entry points should be zone type [06] Delay Stay/Away

[01] Delay 1 Zone: If this zone is violated when the system is armed (e.g.

door or window is opened), the entry delay will begin. The buzzer
will sound to warn the user that the system must be disarmed. If the
system is not disarmed before the entry delay expires, an alarm will
be generated.

[05] Interior Stay/Away Zone: If this type of zone is violated when the

system is armed (e.g. the motion detector senses motion), an instant
alarm will be generated unless a Delay Zone is violated first. If a Delay
Zone is violated first, this zone will also follow the entry delay.

The zone will be automatically bypassed under the following condi­tions:

■

the NT9010 is armed in the Stay Mode

■

the NT9010 is armed without entry delay ([✱][9] arming)

■

the NT9010 is armed with an access code and during the exit delay a
Delay zone is NOT violated (user does not go through the entry/exit
door).

If zones are automatically bypassed, the user can reactivate the zones
by entering [

✱

][1].

[87] Delayed 24 Hour Fire (Wireless): If this zone is violated (e.g. the

smoke detector senses smoke), the alarm will immediately sound,
but the alarm communication to the central station will be delayed
for 30 seconds. If during the 30 second delay the user presses the [#]
key, the alarm and communicator will be delayed an additional 90
seconds. This provides time for a user to correct the problem.

If after the 90 second delay the zone is still violated the process will
begin again: the alarm will sound but the alarm communication will
be delayed for 30 seconds.

If the user does not press the [#] key, after 30 seconds the alarm will
latch on and the system will communicate a fire alarm to the central
station. The alarm will sound until the Bell Cutoff time expires, or
until a valid code is entered.

D Window Hallway motion Hallway fire

E Patio door Garage motion Garage fire

If necessary, you can also program custom labels for the zones through the NT9010
Flash Programming.

1. For door/window contacts, motion detectors, and glassbreak detectors, at the
appropriate place in Flash Programming, instead of selecting labels A to E, press
function key F.

2. You can now enter up to six pre-programmed words from the Audio Label
Library. For each word you want to program, enter a 3-digit code from the Label
Library (for a list of labels and codes, see the NT9010 Programming Worksheets,
Appendix A). If your label is less than six words, press [#] at the end of the label.

3. If you want to use a recorded label instead of the words available in the Audio
Label Library, enter [244] for the first label entry, then the number of the label
[001] to [005]. The recorded label will replace all six words in the section. You
will not be able to add additional words to the label. To record a label for a
zone, please see section 2.1.5 Programming Audio Labels on page 16.

4. When you have entered the label, the system will recite it. If the label is correct,
press [1]. If the label is not correct, press [2] and repeat steps 1 to 3 to fix the label.

NOTE:

You must accept a label to exit this section. If you choose F for a
custom label, then you must create your own label using the Audio Label
Library and accept it.

NOTE:

If you chose one of the audio labels, section [001] to [005] (#3
above) and there is no audio label recorded, the label will default to “zone
X” where “X” is the zone number of the device enrolled. When the label is
recorded in section [807], [701] to [705] it will be used.

Entering the Central Station Telephone Number

When prompted, enter the telephone number for the central station. The number
can be up to 32 digits long. When you program the number, the system automati­cally inserts the hexadecimal digit “D” at the beginning, to tell the system to con-

Section 1.2: Installing The NT9010

duct a dial tone search before dialing. If necessary, you can enter the following
hexadecimal digits in the telephone number:

• HEX B to dial “✱” (function button B “Away”)

• HEX C to dial “#” (function button C “Chime”)

• HEX D for an additional dial tone search (function button D “Exit”)

• HEX E to insert a 2-second pause (function button E “Status”)

When you have finished entering the telephone number, press [✱]. The system will

recite the number back to you.

Entering the Account Code

The system will send the account code to the central station when communicating
system events (e.g. Low Battery, Test Transmission). Enter a 4-digit code.

Testing the Placement of Wireless Devices

Each wireless detector must pass three consecutive placement tests before it will
work properly on the system. Follow the instructions in Flash Programming to con­duct the tests. The buzzer will squawk once for “Good” placement and three times
for “Bad” placement.

If you exit the Placement Test section before all the zones have passed the neces­sary placement tests, a General System Trouble is generated. This trouble can only
be cleared by re-entering the Placement Test and testing all of the devices that have
not yet passed, or by deleting the serial numbers of the devices that did not pass
the test (see 1.2.9 Deleting Wireless Devices on page 13).

NOTE:

Deleting or passing the zone through DLS will not clear this trouble.

Section 1.3: Troubleshooting

1.3.1 Typical
Installation
Problems
and
Solutions

When I try a placement test I get no result or “Bad” results.

Check the following:

• Are you testing the correct zone?

• Was the correct serial number entered when the device was enrolled?

• Is the device in range of the NT9010? Try testing the device in the same room as
the NT9010.

• Are you testing the zone correctly? (See the Installation Instruction sheet for
each device for testing instructions.)

• Are the batteries working and installed correctly?

• Are there any large metal objects that may be preventing the signal from reach­ing the NT9010?

The device must be located where at least three “Good” results are obtained. If
several devices show “Bad” results, or if wireless keys operate inconsistently, you
may need to move the NT9010. See 1.2.2 Create an Installation Plan on page 5
for tips on choosing a mounting location for the NT9010.

The LED on the motion detector does not turn on when I walk in
front of the unit.

The LED is for walk test purposes only. See your WLS904-433, WLS904P-433 or

2.1.1 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.

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 Flash Programming press 1. To bypass Flash
Programming press 2.”

Step 2: To skip Flash Programming 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 forward 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:

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 re-enter 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’.

Some sections contain several toggle options. Refer to the Programming Work-
sheets to determine what each option represents. 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.

You can program audio labels for the system, and for each of the zones. If you
enroll the zones using Flash Programming, you can choose from five pre-set labels
for the zone (please see Chapter 1: Quick Set Up).

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 ([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 on page
27 in 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 17.

If your label is less than six words, press [#] at the end of the label.

16

Section 2.1: Programming the NT9010

4. If you want to use a recorded label, in place of the first word of the label enter
[244], then the number of the label [001] to [005]. The recorded label will
replace all six words in the section. To record a label, see Recording Custom
Labels on page 17.

5. When you have entered the label, the system will recite it. If the label is correct,
press [#]. To change the label, repeat steps 1-4, above.

6. Record the new label in the appropriate section of the Programming Work-
sheets.

Adding Numbers to Labels

Three special Number Commands are available to allow the system to include a
number in the voice label. The number commands allow the system to announce
the number in three different modes:

Label 000: Number Command 1, Combined Form. The number will be
announced in its full form. For example, the number 401 would be announced as
“four hundred and one”.

Label 001: Number Command 2, Ordered Form. The number will be announced
in a descriptive form. For example, the number 401 would be announced as “four
hundred and first”.

Label 002: Number Command 3, Individual Numbers. Each digit in the number
will be announced individually. For example, the number 401 would be announced
as “four zero one”.

The number commands take up two of the six available word spaces in a label. In
the first space select the type of announcement for the number (Number Com­mand 000, 001 or 002). In the second space program the 3-digit number to be
read (from 000 to 999).

NOTE:

Because number commands take up 2 label spaces, you cannot

program them in the sixth entry spot for a label.

Recording Custom Labels

You can record up to five custom labels for the system and for the zones using pro­gramming sections [701] to [705]. You can use any of these labels for the system or
zone labels, instead of the words available in the Audio Label Library. To record a
custom label:

1. From Advanced Programming, enter [807].

2. Enter one of sub-sections [701] to [705].

3. Press the Record function key on the NT9010.

4. Speak into the NT9010 microphone. Each label can be up to 1.5 seconds long.
To stop recording, press [#].

5. When you are finished recording, press the Playback function key. The NT9010
plays your recorded label back to you. To listen to the label again, press Playback
again.

6. If you want to re-record the label, press the Record function key again.

7. To record more labels, repeat steps 1 to 5.
