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. If you are inside, go to the keypad (the keypad will not beep). 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 on the premises, 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.

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. The system may also announce the label for the zone(s) that triggered the alarm, if programmed by the installer. 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.
De a l i n g W i th A l a rm s a n d E m er g e n c i e s Calling for Help The NT9010 has three pairs of emergency keys. Using these keys you can send an immediate Fire, Auxiliary or Medical and Panic message to your central station. IMPORTANT:The Fire, Auxiliary or Medical, and Panic keys will NOT function unless they have been turned ON by the installer.
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.
U s i n g A d v an c e d F u n c t i o n s Your system continuously checks for a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of these trouble conditions occur: • the yellow (System) light will be ON until the trouble is fixed • the keypad will beep twice every 10 seconds until it is acknowledged by pressing any key • the NT9010 will say “System Trouble” when announcing the status of the system NOTE: A Trouble condition reduces the level of security your system provides.
Testing Your System Announcement: Problem and how it should be addressed: “Device low battery, press [7].” Your system has detected that one or more of the wireless detectors on the system has a low battery. Press 7 , and the system will announce which devices have a low battery. Change the relevant batteries. See page 26 for instructions. If this does not correct the problem, call for service. “The time and date are incorrect.
Section 6: Customizing Your System This section describes how to customize your system to suit your needs. Refer to this section for detailed instructions on: programming access codes and setting time and date. Programming Access Codes The master code (code 40) can be used to program system options, arm and disarm the system and program other access codes. You can program up to 32 additional access codes (01 through 32). Other access codes, such as system supervisory and duress codes, are available.
If your installer has enabled the door chime feature, your NT9010 will beep whenever designated doors or windows are opened or closed. The NT9010 may also announce the zones that were opened or closed, if programmed. Your installer has programmed which doors and windows will activate the door chime. 1. Press Turning the Door Chime On or Off 4 to turn the door chime feature ON 2. Press The keypad will beep 3 times. 4 again to turn the door chime feature OFF The keypad will sound one long beep.
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 storey of the home.
Section 9: Replacing Batteries From time to time, the batteries in the detectors and other components on your system will need to be changed. If a device has a low battery, your system will announce a “Device Low Battery” trouble message (see Checking Trouble Conditions on page 19). 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.

Use care when installing the battery and observe the correct polarity (see diagram). Use only an Eveready Lithium Energizer No. EL123AP battery. Motion Detectors WLS904-433/WLS904P-433 Remove the motion detector from its mounting plate by holding the detector by its sides and pushing up.
Smoke Detectors WLS906-433 The WLS906-433 requires six Eveready Energizer AA batteries. To replace the batteries, remove the detector from the mounting plate by pushing the locking tab and turning the detector counter-clockwise. Hold the unit with the battery compartment facing you, and the imprinted wording right-side up. Install the first two batteries in the row nearest to you, with the + terminals facing left. Next, install the middle two batteries with the + terminals facing to the right.
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.
