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 Your security system consists of a DSC NT9005 controller, and various wireless devices.
I n tr o d u c t i o n 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.
Section 2: Using Your NT9005 System Operating the System from the NT9005 controller 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. Turning On 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.
Turning Off 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.
T u r n i n g Y o u r S ys te m O n ( A rm i n g ) a n d O f f ( Di s a rm i n g ) Turning On Your System When Everyone is Away (Away Mode) When you turn on your system using the Away method, both interior zones (e.g., motion detectors) and perimeter zones (e.g., door and window contacts) will be active and will cause an alarm if they are opened. 1. Check that your system is ready (green Ready light is ON). 2. Enter your [access code]. As you enter each digit, the keypad sounder beeps.
Turning On Your System While You Are At Home (Stay Mode) Use the Stay mode when you want to stay at home, and also want to prevent unauthorized entry from outside. The system will only turn on the perimeter zones (e.g., door and window contacts), and will leave the interior zones off (e.g. motion detectors) so that you will be free to move around inside. 1. Check that your system is ready (green Ready light is ON) 2. Enter your [access code]. As you enter each digit, the keypad sounder beeps.
T u r n i n g Y o u r S ys te m O n ( A rm i n g ) a n d O f f ( Di s a rm i n g ) 3. Go out through the entry/exit door. The system will be in Away mode. If you do not exit, the system will be in Stay mode. * 0 will only turn on the system. To turn the system off, NOTE: Pressing you must enter a valid [access code].

Your installer will tell you if the Quick Exit feature will work on your system. You can use the Quick Exit feature to leave the premises while the system is on, without having to turn your system off and on again. To use the Quick Exit feature: 1. While the system is on, press * Exiting When the System is On (Quick Exit) 0 . 2. The system will start a two minute countdown, during which you may leave through the entry/exit door.
Section 4: Dealing With Alarms and Emergencies Read this section carefully so that you will know what to do if your system goes into alarm. If you return to your premises and the siren is on, contact the local authorities from a nearby safe location. Your installer will tell you if fire detection equipment has been installed and enabled on your system. NOTE: A fire alarm always has priority over an intrusion (burglary) alarm. Fire Alarms A pulsing siren means a fire alarm.
Intrusion (Burglary) Alarms A steady siren means an intrusion alarm. To silence the alarm: 1. Enter your [access code]. 2. If the alarm was unintentional, call your central station immediately to avoid an unnecessary response. 3. Check the alarm memory to see which zone caused the alarm. Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the system will return to the Ready state. The ‘Memory’ message will be displayed if there is an alarm in memory. To view zones that have gone into alarm press 3 .
Section 5: Using Advanced Functions This section describes how to perform more specialized functions: turning off specific detectors (bypassing zones), turning the door chime on or off, checking system troubles, and testing your system. Sometimes, you may need to temporarily turn off one or more detectors. For example,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”.
NOTE: For security reasons, your installer may program the system to prevent you from turning off certain detectors (for example, smoke detectors). NOTE: If you have 24-hour zones (zones that are continuously on) on your system, they will stay bypassed until you turn off the bypass using the steps above (ask your installer for more information). Checking Trouble Conditions Your system continuously checks for a number of possible trouble conditions.
U s i n g A d v an c e d F u n c t i o n s Display: Problem and how it should be addressed: [2] AC Power Trouble. Electrical power to the system has been interrupted. Check your fuse box or circuit breaker to ensure that the electricial supply for the system is on. If this does not correct the problem, call for service. The NT9005 may go to sleep to conserve the backup battery if the AC power is out for more than 30 seconds.
Testing Your System Test your system every week. Report any problems immediately to your installation company. NOTE: Perform system tests during off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening. 1.

Section 7: Fire Safety Read this section carefully. It contains important information about fire safety. Household Fire Safety Audit 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.
• 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.
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 story of the home.
Section 9: Replacing Batteries From 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 Checking Trouble Conditions on page 16). 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.
R e p l a c i n g B at te r i e s Door/Window Contacts WLS907T-433 Insert a small screwdriver into the slot on the side of the sensor. Push the screwdriver in and lift off the cover. Remove the old batteries and install three fresh Eveready Alkaline Energizer AAA batteries. Insert the batteries, ensuring that the correct polarity is observed. Carefully replace the cover.
Glassbreak Detectors WLS912-433 Remove the detector from its mounting plate by pushing the detector in the direction indicated. Install the three Energizer AA batteries, observing the correct polarity, as shown below. WLS912L-433 Remove the detector from its mounting plate by pushing the detector in the direction indicated. Install the two Lithium batteries, observing the correct polarity, as shown below. Smoke Detectors WLS906-433 The WLS906-433 requires six Eveready Energizer AA batteries.
Glossary Access code A 4 or 6-digit code you enter on the keypad to turn your system on or off, or to use other system features. Alarm When a zone is violated (e.g., a smoke detector detects smoke, a motion detector senses movement, a door with a contact is opened), it will trigger an alarm. Intrusion (burglary) alarm: An alarm triggered by an intrusion detector (e.g., motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door/window contacts). Usually occurs when the system is on.
Entry/exit doors Your installer will program the doors you usually use to enter or exit the premises as the entry/exit doors. These doors are programmed with entry and exit times so that you can turn the system on and off without causing a false alarm. Exit time A timer programmed by your installer. It starts when you turn on your system to allow you a period of time to leave the premises. At the end of the exit time, the system will be on.
