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.

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.

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.
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:
Chime
Exit
Status
Volume
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 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.
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.
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
[008]. The recorded label will replace all six words in the section. To record a label, see “Recording Custom Labels” on
page 6.
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 Worksheets.
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 eight custom labels for the system and for
the zones using programming sections [701] to [708]. You can
use any of these labels for the system or zone labels, instead of
the words available on the Audio Label Library. To record a custom label:
1.
2.
3.
4.
From Advanced Programming, enter [807].

Section 4: Changing How the NT9010
Works For Users
Most NT9010 installations will only require basic programming. You can complete the basic programming using the NT9010 Installation
Wizard (please see the NT9010 Quick Set Up Guide for more information). The NT9010 User’s Guide provides basic directions for arming
and disarming the system, bypassing zones and performing user functions. The following sections provide information on how to customize the NT9010 interface for your users, and how to change which options are available to NT9010 users.
4.1
Accessing the NT9010 System Using a
Telephone
Accessing the NT9010 Using a Local Telephone
To access the NT9010 system using a premise telephone, pick up
any local touchtone telephone and enter the three digit Telephone Access Code (default [***]). The NT9010 will seize the
line and announce
“Hello.”
If the Access Code Required for Local Access option is
enabled (section [807]-[021] option [02]) the NT9010 will
announce:
“Enter your Access Code.”
Enter your four-digit system access code. Invalid access codes
count towards the Keypad Lockout, if enabled.
You can access the NT9010 using a local telephone, even if the
telephone line is disconnected. For this to operate properly, you
must enable Telephone Line Monitoring on the system (see
section 5.15 “Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM)” on page 22).
You can change the Telephone Access Code to any 3 digit code
using numbers 0 through 9 as well as the [*] and [#] keys. This
access code can only be changed through Advanced Programming.
NOTE: Avoid programming this code as a valid 3 digit area
code or telephone service. Avoid numbers such as [911],
[411], [611] or [0XX]. Do not try to exit this section by pressing [#], it will be accepted as a valid digit. To exit, program
all 3 digits of the code, or hang up.

5. Enter a 4- or 6-digit access code. The NT9010 will begin to
announce the status of the system. If you do not enter an
access code within 20 seconds, or if you enter it incorrectly 3
times, the NT9010 will announce
“Goodbye,”
and hang up. Invalid access codes count towards the Keypad
Lockout, if enabled (see section 4.13 “Keypad Options” on
page 14).
NOTE: The Maintenance Code can be used to access the
system from a remote telephone.
Remote Access Enabled/DisabledSection [807]-[021], Option [1]
4.2
Access Codes
For instructions on programming access codes, see the NT9010
User’s Guide (“Programming Access Codes”).
General access codes can arm and disarm the system. When the
Code Required for Bypassing option is enabled, users will
need to enter a valid access code in order to bypass zones. Individual access codes can have the Zone Bypassing attribute disabled under Access Code Attribute programming, see section
“Programming Access Code Attributes” on page 8.
If the 6-Digit User Access Codes option is enabled, all the
access codes may be programmed with six digits instead of four,
with the exception of the Panel ID code and the Downloading
Access Code. The Installer’s Code will become [555555]. If 4-digit
codes are already programmed and this option is selected, the
first four digits of the programmed codes will remain as programmed and the last two digits will be [00].
Accessing the NT9010 Using a Remote Telephone
If the Remote Access option (section [807]-[021], option [01]) is
enabled users can access the system from any touchtone telephone in the world.
If the 4-Digit User Access Codes is selected, all codes will be 4Digits in length. If 6-digit codes were previously programmed and
this option is enabled, the last two digits of each code will be
erased.
1. Call the telephone number the NT9010 system is connected
to.
2. Let the telephone ring one or two times.
3. Hang up and wait 10 seconds before calling again. The
NT9010 will answer after the first or second ring and
announce
“Hello.”
4. Enter the 3-digit Telephone Access Code. If this is not entered
within 10 seconds the NT9010 will announce
The available access codes are as follows:
General Access Codes - Access Codes [01] to [32]
Each access code can be used to arm and disarm the system.
Additional access code attributes are also programmable to
determine what abilities the code will have.
You can program access code attributes by following the instructions in this section.
Duress Codes - Access Codes [33] and [34]
When a Duress Code is used to perform any function the system
will send a Duress Reporting Code to the central station (see section 5.12 “Communicator - Reporting Codes” on page 20).
Master Code - Access Code [40]
By default the Master Codes can perform any keypad function.
This codes can be used to program all access codes, including the
Duress Codes.
If the Master Code Not Changeable option is enabled users
will not be able to change the Master Code [40]. You will only be
able to change it using Advanced Programming.
Supervisor Codes - Access Codes [41] to [42]
Supervisor Codes can program additional access codes. By
default, Supervisor codes have the same attribute programming
as the Master code. You can change the attribute programming
for these codes by following the instructions in this section.
Maintenance Code
The maintenance code can only be used to arm and disarm the
system. The maintenance code will also allow remote (telephone)
access to the system.
It cannot be used to bypass zones, or for any other function. This
code can only be programmed in Advanced Programming.
Installer’s Code
You will use the Installer’s Code to set up and to program the system. The default Installer’s Code is [5555].
Telephone Access Code
If the NT9010 system is connected to the premise telephone line,
users will be able to access their system using a premise or
remote telephone (see 4.1 “Accessing the NT9010 System
Using a Telephone”). Users will need to enter a Telephone
Access Code before they can use the NT9010 system. The default
Telephone Access Code is [***]. You can change this to any 3
digit code using numbers 0 through 9 as well as the [*] and [#]
keys. This access code can only be changed through Advanced
Programming.
NOTE: Avoid programming this code as a valid 3 digit area
code or telephone service. Avoid numbers such as [911],
[411], [611] or [0XX]. Do not try to exit this section by pressing [#], it will be accepted as a valid digit. To exit, program
all 3 digits of the code.
Programming Access Code Attributes
Attributes determine what abilities an access code will have.
By default, each code has the attributes of the code used to program it. For example, if you use the Master code to program
other access codes, the new codes will have the same attributes
as the Master code. You can change the attribute programming
by following the instructions described below.
You cannot change Master code attribute programming. The
Master code has all attributes turned on, except for the Bell
Squawk on Arming/Disarming attribute.
To program each attribute:
1. Enter [*][5][Master code][9] to enter the attribute programming mode.
2. Enter the 2-digit number of the access code you want to edit.
3. Enter the attribute number to toggle it on or off.
The programmable attributes are as follows:
• Attribute 1: User enabled for arming, disarming, alarm reset,
auto-arm cancel (on by default)
• Attribute 2: For future use
• Attribute 3: Zone Bypass enabled
This attribute allows the user to bypass zones.
• Attribute 4: NT9010 Remote Access
This attribute allows the user to access the security system
from a remote location via a telephone.
• Attributes 5-6: For future use
• Attribute 7: Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming. When this
attribute is turned on, the bell will squawk when the access
code is entered to arm or disarm the system. For example,
you can use the arm/disarm bell squawk attribute to have
wireless key access codes squawk the bell, while other codes
are silent. To do this, enable attribute [7] on all access codes
associated with wireless keys.
NOTE: If you enable the Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming
option (section [014], option [1]), the bell will sound arm/
disarm bell squawks for all access codes, regardless of the
programming for attribute [7] (see section 4.5 “Arming and
Disarming Options” on page 9).

Voice Prompt Interface
You can customize the voice prompt interface for the NT9010
users by turning individual prompts on or off, and by changing
how the NT9010 system announces the current time.
To have the NT9010 system announce the time in am/pm format
(e.g. 9:00am), turn on the Clock is AM/PM option. To have the
system announce the time in 24-hr format (e.g. 21:00), turn on
the Clock is 24 Hour option.
The NT9010 system is designed to be easy to use by reminding
users of available commands. For example, after a user accesses
the system, they can press [*] and the NT9010 system will
announce the [*] commands that are available.
You can avoid confusing users by turning on only the prompts
that apply to the system you are installing. The options in subsection [004] only effect the NT9010 system [*] command
prompts: if a prompt is disabled, users will still be able to enter
the command it refers to.
Sub-section [003] determines which Status prompts the user will
hear. If an option is “ON”, the system will announce the prompt
when the appropriate condition is present. If an option is “OFF”,
the system will not announce the prompt if the condition is
present. For example, if you turn off the “Zone Tamper” prompt,
when a zone is tampered on the system, the NT9010 system will
not announce it to the user.
You can also have the NT9010 system announce the name of
zones that are opened or closed by turning on the Verbal Chime
option. When this option is turned on, if the Verbal Chime for
Zone Openings is also enabled, whenever a zone with the
Chime attribute enabled is opened, a series of beeps will sound
and the NT9010 will prompt (for example):
Changing How the NT9010 Works For Users: 4.4 Alarm Announcements
“Front Door”
If the Verbal Chime for Zone Closings is enabled, the NT9010
system will announce the zone label when the zone is closed. See
also section “[*] [4] Door Chime On/Off” on page 11.
You can create custom labels for the system and for each zone in
the Labels programming area. Please see section 3.5 “Programming Audio Labels” on page 5 for more information.

Alarm Announcements
If the Verbal Alarm option is turned on, the system will
announce the first and last zones that have gone into alarm,
along with the alarm tone. When a zone with the Audible
attribute turned on goes into alarm, the NT9010 system will
sound an alarm tone, but every 15 seconds it will pause the siren
and the speaker will announce the zone(s) in alarm, for example:
the bell output 10 times rapidly if the system is disarmed after an
alarm occurred.
If the system is armed using the Stay function key, or by entering
[*][9][access code], there will be no bell squawks during entry
and exit delays, except for the arm/disarm bell squawks.
Closing Confirmation, if enabled, will cause the keypad to
beep 10 times rapidly after the closing reporting code has been
successfully transmitted to central station.
NOTE: If the system is armed using the Stay function key
there will be no bell squawks during the exit delay except
for the arm bell squawk. If the system is no-entry armed
using [*][9][access code], there will be no bell squawks during the exit delay, except for the arm/disarm bell squawks.
There is no entry delay (and no bell squawks) when the system is no-entry armed.
If the AC/DC Inhibit Arming option is enabled, the system will
not arm if there is an AC or DC (battery) trouble present on the
system. Arming will not be allowed until the AC or battery trouble is cleared. If no AC or battery trouble is currently present,
when a user attempts to arm the system, the system will do an
automatic battery test. If the battery is good, the system will arm.
If the battery is bad, the system will not arm.
“Alarm South Bedroom Window”
If the AC/DC Inhibit Arming option is disabled, the system will
not do an automatic battery test when arming is attempted and
the user will not be prevented from arming the system when
there is an AC or battery trouble.
You can change the number of seconds between alarm
announcements in the Alarm Tone Period for Verbal Alarm
section.
If you enable the WLS Key Does Not Use Access Codes option,
the disarm button will work on wireless keys which have not
been assigned access codes.
Zones programmed as Silent, and 24 Hour Supervisory Buzzer
zones will not be announced.
To prevent disarming by wireless keys which don’t have access
codes, disable this option. (See also section 4.11 “Programming
Wireless Keys and Handheld Keypads” on page 13.)
NOTE: Fire annunciation always overrides any burglary
zone alarm annunciation. Alarms from Fire, Auxiliary, or
Panic keys override all other alarm announcements.

NOTE:The alarm announcements will stop with the siren at
the end of the Bell Time Out period.
Arming and Disarming Options
If the Arm/Disarm Bell Squawk option is enabled the system
will squawk the alarm output once upon arming and twice upon
disarming. If an alarm is in memory, when the system is disarmed
the bell will sound three pairs of disarm squawks.
NOTE: If you enable the Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming
(section [014], option [1]), the bell will sound arm/disarm
bell squawks for all access codes, regardless of the programming for attribute [7] (see section 4.2 “Access Codes”
on page 7).
Enable both the Squawk on Away Arming/Disarming Only
and the Arm/Disarm Bell Squawk options to have the system
squawk the bell only when the system is away armed or disarmed.
If the Opening After Alarm Keypad Ringback option is turned
on, the system will beep the keypad 10 times rapidly if the system is disarmed after an alarm occurred. If the Opening After
Alarm Bell Squawk option is turned on, the system will squawk
Automatic Arming
You can program the system to automatically arm at a specific
time every day. Three items must be enabled in order to activate
the auto arming function:
1. The correct time of day must be programmed. For instructions on programming the time and date, see the NT9010
User’s Guide (“Setting the Time and Date”).
2. Enter [*][6][Master Code][2] to enable (three keypad beeps)
or disable (one long beep) the auto-arm feature.
3. Program the auto-arm time using the [*][6][Master Code][3]
command.
When the internal system clock matches the programmed auto
arm time, the system will check its status. If the system is armed,
the NT9010 will do nothing until the programmed auto-arm time
for the next day, when it will check again.
If the system is disarmed at the auto-arm time, the NT9010 control unit will sound the keypad buzzer for one minute. This is the
auto arm pre-alert period. Please note that if there is an auto-arm
time programmed, the system will sound the pre-alert whether
or not auto-arming is enabled (in the [*][6][2] menu).
If the Bell Squawk During Auto Arm option is enabled, the
bell will squawk while the system is auto-arming in order to
notify anyone on the premises that the system is being armed.
If a valid access code is entered during the auto arm pre-alert
period, automatic arming will be cancelled. If automatic arming
is cancelled by a user, the system will send the Auto Arm
Reporting Code to the central station.
NOTE:The Maintenance code cannot be used to cancel
automatic arming.
If no code is entered during the auto-arm prealert, the system
will auto-arm. If a zone is violated when the system arms, the
system will transmit a Partial Closing Reporting Code (if programmed), to indicate the system was not secure. If the zone is
restored, the NT9010 will arm the zone and add it back into the
system.

Entry and Exit Delay Options
Upon arming, the system will begin the exit delay. If Audible
Exit Delay is enabled the keypad will beep every second until
the exit delay expires. The keypad will beep rapidly for the last 10
seconds of exit delay to warn the user the system is about to
arm.
Users can restart the exit delay one time while it is counting
down by pressing the Away key. The system will not log the user
who re-started the exit delay, unless the Quick Arming Disabled/Function Keys Require Code option is turned on (section [015], option [4]).
NOTE: If the system has been Stay armed, or armed with no
entry delay ([*][9]), pressing the Away key will not start an
exit delay.
For commercial applications Bell Squawk on Exit Delay may be
enabled. The system will squawk the alarm output once every
second when the exit delay is initiated and 3 times a second for
the last 10 seconds until the exit delay expires.
Upon entry, if a Delay type zone is violated, the system will begin
entry delay. The keypad will emit a steady tone. The keypad will
pulse the keypad sounder during the last 10 seconds to warn the
user the system is about to go into alarm. If there was an alarm
during the armed period, the keypad sounder will pulse for the
entire entry delay to warn the user of the previous alarm.
For commercial applications Bell Squawk on Entry Delay may
be enabled. The system will squawk the alarm output once every
second until the entry delay expires or the system is disarmed.
NOTE:Since two Delay zones are programmable, and therefore two different Entry Delays, when the system is armed
it will use the Entry Delay for the first Delay zone violated.
If Exit Delay Termination is enabled the system will monitor the
Delay zones during exit delay. If a Delay type zone is violated then
secured during the exit delay, the exit delay will be terminated
and the system will be armed immediately.
10
To prevent false alarms, use the built-in feature Audible Exit
Fault. If a delay type zone is violated within 4 seconds after the
exit delay has expired, the system will sound the entry delay
warning through the keypad and siren alerting the customer that
an improper exit was made. If the system is disarmed within the
entry delay no signal is sent. If not, the system will continue to
sound the alarm and send a signal to central station. This feature
can be disabled in Section [013] Option [6].

Bell Options
When the system goes into alarm, the siren will sound. The siren
will silence after the number of minutes programmed for the Bell
Cut-off time have passed.
The system supervises the remote sounder. If an open condition
is detected, the system will immediately indicate a trouble condition by beeping the keypad twice every 10 seconds to alert users
of the problem.
If the Temporal Three Fire Signal option is enabled, all Fire signals will follow the Temporal Three Pattern as described in NFPA
72. If turned OFF all Fire signals will sound a one second on, one
second off cadence.
If Fire Bell Continuous is enabled, the alarm output will sound
until a code is entered. If disabled, the alarm will sound until a
code is entered or the bell cut-off time has expired.
NOTE:Only fire zones will follow the Temporal Three Fire
Signal.

User Commands
[*][1] Zone Bypassing
Users can bypass individual zones using the [*][1] keypad command. This command can be used if users want to have access to
an area while the system is armed, or to bypass a defective zone
(bad contact, damaged wiring) until service can be provided.
A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. Instructions on zone
bypassing can be found in the NT9010 User’s Guide (“Zone
Bypassing”).
When the system is disarmed, all zones bypassed using [*][1] will
be unbypassed, except for 24-Hr zones.
If the Code Required for Bypass option is enabled, an access
code will be required to enter the Bypass mode. Only access
codes with the Bypass attribute enabled will be able to bypass
zones (see section 4.2 “Access Codes” on page 7).
If the Bypass Status Displayed While Armed option is chosen,
the System light will be ON while the system is armed to indicate
that there are bypassed zones.
Changing How the NT9010 Works For Users: 4.9 User Commands

conditions. If a trouble condition is present, the System light will
be ON and the keypad will beep twice every 10 seconds. The
trouble beep can be silenced by pressing any key on the keypad.
If Bell Squawk on Trouble is enabled (section [014], option[5]),
the bell will squawk every 10 seconds when a trouble condition is
present.
To listen to an announcement of trouble conditions:
1. Press [*] [2].
2. The system will announce each trouble condition.
Possible trouble conditions are described below:
Service Required: The system has one or more of the following
problems:
• Low Battery: Main system backup battery charge is low. Trouble is restored when the battery is fully charged.
• Remote Sounder Supervisory Trouble: The bell circuit is open.
• General System Trouble: One or more devices have not
passed the Placement Test.
The NT9010 will only announce “Service Required”. If the control unit announces this trouble, users must call for assistance.
The specific trouble will be logged in the event buffer.
AC Failure: AC power is no longer being supplied to the NT9010
control unit. To conserve power, when there is an AC Failure all
lights will turn off, except for the flashing System light.
Telephone Line Monitoring Trouble (TLM): There is a problem
with the telephone line (See section section 5.15 “Telephone
Line Monitoring (TLM)” on page 22.)
Failure to Communicate (FTC): The communicator failed to
communicate with any of the programmed telephone numbers
(see section 5.8 “Communicator - Dialing” on page 17).
Zone Fault (including Fire Zone): A zone on the system is
experiencing trouble. This means that a zone could not provide
an alarm to the system if required to do so (e.g. a fire zone is
open, or a supervisory fault on a wireless zone). When a zone
fault occurs, the keypad(s) on the system will start to beep. Press
[5] while in Trouble mode to hear the affected zones.
NOTE: A Fire zone trouble will be generated and
announced in the armed state.
Zone Tamper: The tamper switch is open on a wireless device.
When a tamper condition occurs, the NT9010 will start to beep
(if the system is armed, an alarm will occur). Press [6] while in the
Trouble mode to hear the affected zones. If a zone is tampered or
faulted, it must be fully restored to clear the trouble. If a smoke
detector is tampered, the Ready light will remain on and the system can be armed.
NOTE:Once a zone is tampered or faulted, it must be completely restored before the trouble condition will clear.

4.13 Keypad Options
The system can be programmed to ‘lockout’ keypads if a series of
incorrect access code entries are made. After the Number of
Invalid Codes Before Lockout has been reached the system
will lock out the keypad for the Lockout Duration and log the
event to the event buffer. For the duration of the lockout the system will sound an error tone when any key is pressed. The invalid
code counter will be reset every hour.
To disable Keypad Lockout program the Number of Invalid
Codes Before Lockout as (000).
NOTE: If Keypad Lockout is active, the system cannot be
armed or disarmed with a keyswitch.
If the Keypad Blanking Option is enabled the system will turn
off all lights on the NT9010 if no key is pressed for 30 seconds.
The keys, however, will remain backlit.
The system will turn the NT9010 lights back on if entry delay
begins or an audible alarm occurs. If the Code Required to
Restore Blanking Option is enabled, the lights will turn on
14
when a valid access code is entered. Otherwise, the lights will
turn on when a key is pressed.
NOTE: Keypad function keys will still operate when the
keypad is blank, unless the function key is programmed to
require an access code.
The keys of all the keypads can be backlit to provide easy viewing
in dim lighting conditions. If the Keypad Backlighting Option
is enabled the keys will be illuminated.

4.14 Sleep Mode
To conserve the backup battery during the loss of AC power, the
NT9010 control unit will enter “sleep mode” after AC power is
missing for 30 seconds. When the NT9010 is in sleep mode, all
the lights on the unit will turn off, except for the System light,
which will flash.
The system will “wake up” and run on the backup battery when
any system event occurs, or when a user presses and holds a button on the unit for 2 seconds.
Section 5: Changing Other NT9010
Functions
Most installations will only require basic programming. You can complete the basic programming using the NT9010 Installation Wizard
(please see the NT9010 Quick Set Up Guide for more information). This section explains programmable features that affect the internal
functioning of the system, including zone operation, central station communications, talk/listen-in features, computer downloading features, and other advanced options.
5.1
Zone Definitions
You can change how each of the 32 zones will operate in programming sections [001] - [004]. For each zone that will be used,
enter a 2-digit zone definition.
NOTE:In addition to selecting how each zone will operate,
attributes may be programmed by zone (section 5.2 “Zone
Attributes” on page 16).
[00]
[01]
[02]
[03]
[04]
[05]
[06]
Null Zone: The zone will not operate in any way. Zones
that are not used should be programmed as Null zones.
Delay 1 Zone: If this zone is violated when the system is
armed it will provide an entry delay. The keypad 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. Typically this
type of zone will be used for the front door, back door or
any other entry/exit point. Refer to Section [005], “System
Times”, to program the Delay 1 zone entry delay time.
Delay 2 Zone: This zone type operates the same as the
Delay 1 zone option but can provide a different entry
delay. Typically this zone will be used for a garage door.
Refer to Section [005], “System Times”, to program the
Delay 2 zone entry delay.
Instant Zone: If this zone type is violated when the system is armed it will cause an instant alarm. Typically this
zone is used for windows, patio doors or other perimeter
type zones.
Interior Zone: If this type of zone is violated when the
system is armed it will provide entry if a delay type zone
was violated first. Otherwise it will cause an instant alarm.
Typically this zone is used for interior protection devices,
such as motion detectors.
Interior Stay/Away Zone: This zone type works the
same as the Interior zone type with one exception. The
zone will be automatically bypassed under the following
conditions:
• the system is armed in the Stay Mode (section 4.10
“Function Keys” on page 12)
• the system is armed without entry delay (section “[*]
[9] Arming Without Entry Delay” on page 12)
• the system is armed with an access code and during
the exit delay a Delay type zone is NOT tripped
The automatic bypass avoids having the user manually
bypass interior type zones when arming at home. If automatically bypassed, the user can reactivate the zones by
entering the [*][1] command (section “[*][1] Zone
Bypassing” on page 10). Typically this zone is used for
interior protection devices, such as motion detectors.
Delay Stay/Away Zone: This zone type will operate the
same as the Interior Stay/Away zone type except that it
will always provide entry delay. Typically this zone is used
for interior protection devices, such as motion detectors
and will help prevent false alarms since it will always provide the user the entry delay time to turn off the system.
[07] - [09] For future use
[10] 24 Hour Supervisory Buzzer Zone: Whether armed or
disarmed, when this zone type is violated the system will
immediately latch the keypad buzzer until a valid access
code is entered and will communicate immediately to the
central station.
[11] 24 Hour Burglary Zone: If this zone is violated,
whether armed or disarmed, the system will immediately
latch the alarm output and communicate to the central
station. The alarm will sound for the Bell Cutoff time programmed in Section [005] “System Times” or until a valid
access code is entered.
[12]-[20]:
The following zone definitions operate similar to the 24
Hour Burglary except for System Event output type, SIA
identifier, and some zone attributes:
[12] 24 Hour Holdup Zone
[13] 24 Hour Gas Zone
[14] 24 Hour Heat Zone
[15] 24 Hour Medical Zone
[16] 24 Hour Panic Zone
[17] 24 Hour Emergency Zone
[18] 24 Hour Sprinkler Zone
[19] 24 Hour Water Flow Zone
[20] 24 Hour Freezer Zone
NOTE: [12] 24 Hour Holdup zones give a silent alarm by
default.
[21]
[22]
[23]
24 Hour Latching Tamper: If this zone is violated the
installer must enter Installer Programming before the system can be armed. The bell output will also activate for
the programmed time and the system will communicate
the alarm.
Momentary Keyswitch Arm Zone: Momentary violation of this zone will alternately arm/disarm the system.
Maintained Keyswitch Arm Zone: When this zone is
violated, the system will arm. When this zone is secured,
the system will disarm.
NOTE: Do not program wireless zones as [21] or [22] Keyswitch zones.
[24]
[25]
For future use
Interior Delay Zone: When the system is fully armed (i.e.
away armed), this zone will follow the exit delay. It will
also follow the entry delay, provided that a delay zone is
tripped first. If the delay zone is not tripped first, a zone
15
[87]
defined as “Interior Delay” will go into alarm instantly.
When the system is stay armed, this zone will be active,
but when it is tripped, it will initiate the entry delay.
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.
NOTE: If a second Fire zone is violated, or if the Fire keys
are pressed during the delay time, the panel will latch the
alarm output and communicate immediately.
[88]
5.2
Standard 24 Hour Fire (Wireless): When this zone is
violated (e.g. the smoke detector senses smoke), the
panel will immediately latch the alarm output and communicate to central station. The alarm will sound for the
Bell Cutoff time programmed in Section [005], or can be
programmed to sound until a valid code is entered (Section [014], Option [8]).
Zone Attributes
Each zone will operate according to the Zone Definition selected
for it (see section 5.1 “Zone Definitions” on page 15).
You can customize the operation of a zone for a specific application by changing the zone attributes. The following attributes are
programmable by zone:
NOTE: Do not change attributes for Fire Zones from the
default settings.
• Audible/Silent Determines whether the zone will activate
the alarm output or will be silent.
• Pulsed/Steady Determines if the alarm output will be
steady or pulse on for 1 second and off for one second.
• Activate Chime Determines if the zone will activate the
chime feature (see section “[*] [4] Door Chime On/Off” on
page 11).
• Bypass Enable Determines if the zone can be manually
bypassed (see section “[*][1] Zone Bypassing” on page 10).
• Force Arm Enable Determines if the system can be armed
with the zone violated. At the end of exit delay, if this type of
zone is violated, it will be ignored by the system. Once the
zone is secured it will be added back into the system.
This zone attribute is useful for a garage door. The customer
can arm the system with the garage door open. Later when
the customer closes the door it becomes part of the system.
NOTE: 24-hour zones must not have Force Arm enabled.
• Swinger Shutdown Enable Determines if the system will
shut down the communicator for the zone after the swinger
limit is reached (see section 5.18 “Swinger Shutdown” on
page 23).
• Transmission (TX) Delay Enable Determines if the system
will delay communicating the alarm reporting code to the
central station (see section 5.12 “Communicator - Reporting
Codes” on page 20).
• Wireless Zone Determines if the zone is a wireless zone or a
hardwired zone. Allows the system to generate low battery
trouble and zone supervisories.
16
NOTE: The wireless zone attribute must be enabled for all
enrolled wireless zones.

Enrolling Hardwired Zones
You can install up to two hardwired zones on the NT9010 system. To make the wiring connections for these zones, please see
section 2.3 “Zone Wiring” on page 3. You must also enroll the
hardwired zones on the system.
To do this, in the Installation Wizard enter serial number
[200001] for the first hardwired zone, and [200002] for the second hardwired zone. The NT9010 system will automatically
assign the hardwired zone to the next available zone number.
If you need to change the zone assignment of the hardwired
zones, you can do this in the Advanced programming sections:
1. Enter programming section [807].
2. Enter sub-section [091] for the first hardwired zone, or subsection [092] for the second hardwired zone.
3. Enter the 2-digit number of the zone that will be hardwired.
NOTE: Entering a zone as a hardwired zone will override
any wireless device serial number that may be programmed
for the zone.
NOTE: Fire zones are not supported as hardwired zones.
5.4
Wireless Device Serial Numbers
Normally, you will use the NT9010 Installation Wizard to enter
device serial numbers. If you need to delete a device from a zone,
or replace a device, you can use the advanced programming section. To add, replace, or delete devices:
1. From Installers’s Programming, enter section [804]
2. Enter the 2-digit number of the zone you want to delete (01 32). The system announces the current serial number for the
zone.
3. Enter the new serial number for the zone. To delete a device,
enter [000000]. The wireless device for the zone will be
removed.
NOTE: You may need to remove power from the system
and then restore it to clear troubles caused by deleted
zones.
5.5
Wireless Zone Supervision
NOTE: The RF Jam Detect zone, hardwired zones, and Panic
Pendants must have the supervision option disabled.
Wireless Supervisory Window
Each wireless zone will send a supervisory signal every 12 minutes. If the receiver does not receive a signal within the time programmed for the Wireless Supervisory Window, it will
generate a supervisory fault.
To program the wireless supervisory window, from Advanced Programming:
Changing Other NT9010 Functions: 5.6 RF Jamming Detection Zone

2. Enter sub-section [81].
3. Enter the time period for the supervisory window (valid
entries are 01-24 hours).
4. To exit press [#].
Disable/Enable Zone Supervision
When you enroll a zone through the NT9010 Installation Wizard,
the Wizard will automatically turn on supervision for the zone. To
disable supervision for any zone, enter the following at any system keypad:
1. Enter section [804].
2. Enter section [82], [83], [84] or [85]. Disable or enable supervision for each wireless zone by turning each relevant option
on or off.
3. To exit press [#].
WLS908 Panic Pendant
The panic pendant does not transmit a supervisory signal. This is
so that the user will be able to take it away from the premise.
When you enroll Panic Pendants using the NT9010 Installation
Wizard, the NT9010 automatically disables wireless supervision
for each panic pendant zone.
NOTE: If you replace a RF Jam Detect zone, hardwired
zone, or a Panic Pendant with a different type of device
(e.g. a motion detector), supervision of the device will not
be turned on automatically. You must turn it on as
described above.
5.6
RF Jamming Detection Zone
For RF jamming detection to work, you must select an unused
zone to be used as the RF Jam Detect zone. When the NT9010
system detects an attempt to jam the RF signal, the RF Jam
Detect zone will be violated and the system will generate a
tamper signal. When the jamming signal is gone, the RF Jamming Detection zone closes and the system sends a tamper
restore signal.
To enable RF jamming detection, from Advanced Programming:
1. Enter programming section [807], then sub-section [093].
2. Select an unused zone to be the RF Jam Detect zone. Enter
the 2-digit number ([01] to [32]) of the RF Jam Detect zone on
the keypad.
3. You must disable supervision for the RF Jam Detect zone.
Enter programming section [804], then enter one of sub-sections [82] to [84] to turn off the supervision for the zone.
4. RF jamming detection is now enabled. To exit Advanced Programming, press [#].
NOTE: If you need to change the RF Jamming Detection

Communicator - Dialing
If the Communicator Disable option is selected the system will
never attempt to call central station. If the Communicator is
enabled, the system will attempt to call central station when an
event occurs that has a valid reporting code programmed (see
section 5.12 “Communicator - Reporting Codes” on page 20).
You must also program a valid telephone number for the communicator to work.
Communicator Call Direction Options are used to select
where the system will send different kinds of reporting codes
when events occur. You can choose to have the system send
reporting codes to:
• 1st telephone number
• 2nd telephone number
These options are programmed separately for each type of
reporting code.
The different types of reporting codes are:
• Alarm/Restore codes
• Tamper Alarm/Restore codes
• Opening/Closing codes
• System Maintenance Alarm/Restore codes
• System Test Transmission codes
When the Force Dialing option is enabled, the system will dial
out regardless of the presence of dial tone. Each dialing attempt
will follow this pattern:
a) the system picks up the telephone line and searches for dial
tone for 5 seconds
b) if no dial tone is found, the system hangs up and waits for 20
seconds
c) the system picks up the telephone line again and searches for
a dial tone for 5 seconds
d) the system will then dial regardless of the presence of dial
tone
If there is no initial handshake recognized within 40 seconds the
system will then hang up the line.
RF Jamming Detection Zone. . . . . . . . . . . . Section [807]-[093]
If the Force Dialing option is disabled, each attempt will still follow the above pattern, except that the system will not dial in step
(d) if no dial tone is detected.
5.7
The Delay Between Dialing Attempts timer adds a delay
before the next call is dialed.
Zone Tamper/Fault Options
By enabling Tampers/Faults Do Not Show as Open, faults and
tampers for wireless zones will not be annunciated, and will be
hidden from the end user. If the option is disabled, faults and
tampers will be annunciated.
NOTE:Once a zone is tampered or faulted, it must be completely restored before the trouble condition will clear.
If the Busy Tone Detection option is enabled, the system will
hang up after detecting busy tone for 5 seconds and will redial
after the amount of time programmed in the Delay Between
Dialing Attempts section.
If DTMF Dialing is enabled the system will dial using DTMF
(touch tone). If Switch to Pulse Dial is enabled the system will
17
switch to pulse dialing on the 5th attempt to call the central station. If disabled the system will always dial DTMF.
The 2nd and 3rd Telephone Numbers must be programmed in
the Advanced Programming sections.
If DTMF Dialing is disabled the system will always pulse dial.
NOTE: The 3rd telephone Number will NOT back up the
2nd telephone Number.
The Post Dial Wait for Handshake determines the amount of
time the system will wait for a valid handshake from the receiver.
If the system does not hear the handshake it will consider the call
a failed attempt, hang up and try again.
The Maximum Dialing Attempts determines the maximum
number of attempts the system will make to send a signal to the
central station before indicating a Failure to Communicate (FTC)
trouble condition. The 3rd telephone Number can be used to
back up the 1st in this situation (see section 5.9 “Communicator
- Telephone Numbers” on page 18).
When Bell on FTC when Armed is enabled, a failure to communicate (FTC) during the armed period will sound an audible alarm
for the length of Bell time-out, or until the system is disarmed. If
FTC Trouble Only when Armed is enabled, only the keypad
buzzer will sound trouble beeps every 10 seconds until a key is
pressed.
The Pulse Dialing Make/Break Ratio option can change the
Make/Break ratio to 33/67 from the North American ratio of 40/
60.
If Alternate Dial is enabled the system will alternate between the
1st and 3rd telephone numbers when attempting to call the central station. If disabled the system will only attempt to call the 3rd
telephone number after failing to communicate on the 1st telephone number.
NOTE: For Alternate Dial to work properly the 3rd telephone Number must be both enabled and programmed.
Telephone numbers can be up to 32 digits which will allow you
to add special digits if required. To program the telephone number enter numbers 0 through 9 as required. The following is a list
of HEX digits which can also be programmed and the function
they perform:
HEX (B) - simulates the [*] key on a touch tone telephone
HEX (C) - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone, or
end of telephone number marker
HEX (D) - forces the system to search for dial tone
HEX (E) - forces the system to pause for 2 seconds
With ID Tone Enabled the system will pulse a tone on the telephone line to indicate that the system is on the line.
HEX (F)
The 2100Hz/1300Hz ID Tone option selects the frequency of
the ID tone that is pulsed on the line.

Communicator - Telephone Numbers
The system can call 3 different telephone numbers for communication to central station. The 1st Telephone Number is the primary number, the 2nd Telephone Number is the secondary
number and the 3rd Telephone Number will back up the 1st
telephone number if enabled.
You can program the 1st Telephone Number using the Installation Wizard, or in the Advanced Programming (section [301]).

5.10 Communicator - Account Codes
The system Account Codes will be used by the NT9010 when
communicating system events (e.g. Low Battery, Test Transmission). This account code can be up to four digits in length.
You can program two account codes: one for the first and third
telephone numbers, and one code for the second telephone
number. You can also program the Telephone Number 1/3
Account Code in the Installation Wizard (see the Quick Set Up
Guide).
Telephone Number 1/3 Account Code . . . . . . . . . Section [310]
Telephone Number 2 Account Code . . . . . . . . . . . Section [311]
5.11 Communicator - Reporting Formats
You can program the NT9010 system to report events using any
one of the 5 formats available. The system can report using different formats for Telephone Numbers 1/3, and for Telephone
Number 2. The following formats are supported: Pulse (20 BPS),
Contact ID, SIA, and a Pager format. The following is a description of each.
Communicator Format Options . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [350]
Pulse Formats
Depending on the pulse format selected the system will communicate using the following:
• 3/1, 3/2, 4/1 or 4/2
• 1400 or 2300 Hz handshake
• 120 bits per second
Changing Other NT9010 Functions: 5.11 Communicator - Reporting Formats
• non-extended
With the 1600Hz Handshake option enabled, the communicator will respond to 1600Hz handshakes when using the reporting
Communication Formats 01 and 02 only. When the Standard
Handshake option is enabled, the communicator will respond to
the handshake specified by the BPS format (1400Hz or 2300Hz).
Additional Notes on Pulse Formats
1. The digit ‘0’ will send no pulses and is used as a filler.
2. When programming account numbers enter four digits.
3. When programming a three digit account number the fourth
digit must be programmed as a plain ‘0’ which will act as a
filler digit.
4. If an account number has a ‘0’ in it, substitute a HEX digit ‘A’
for the ‘0’. Examples:
• 3 digit account number [123]- program [1230]
• 3 digit account number [502] - program [5A20]
• 4 digit account number [4079] - program [4A79]
5. When programming reporting codes two digits must be
entered. If one digit reporting codes are to be used the second digit must be programmed as a ‘0’. If a ‘0’ is to be transmitted substitute a HEX digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’. Examples:
• 1 digit reporting code [3] - program [30]
• 2 digit reporting code [30] - program [3A]
6. To prevent the system from reporting an event program the
reporting code for the event as [00] or [FF].
1600Hz/Standard Handshake. . . . . . . Section [702], Option [4]
Contact ID
Contact ID is a specialized format that will communicate information quickly using tones rather than pulses. In addition to
sending information more quickly the format also allows more
information to be sent. For example, rather than reporting an
alarm zone 1 the Contact ID format can also report the type of
alarm, such as Entry/Exit alarm zone 1.
If Contact ID Sends Automatic Reporting Codes is selected,
the system will automatically generate a reporting code for each
event. These identifiers are listed in Appendix A. If the Automatic
Contact ID option is not selected, reporting codes must be programmed. The 2-digit entry determines the type of alarm. The
system will automatically generate all other information, including the zone number.
NOTE: If the Automatic Contact ID option is selected, the
system will automatically generate all zone and access code
numbers, eliminating the need to program these items.
NOTE:Regardless of the zone type programmed, the system will report all zones as burglary zones when Automatic
Contact ID is selected. If you need to report other zone
types, you must use Programmed Contact ID reporting
codes.
NOTE: The zone number for Zone Low Battery and Zone
Fault events will not be identified when Programmed Contact ID is used.
If the Contact ID uses Automatic Reporting Codes option is
enabled, the system will operate as follows:
1. If an event’s reporting code is programmed as [00], the system will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything
from [01] to [FF], the system will automatically generate the
zone or access code number. See Appendix A for a list of the
codes which will be transmitted.
If the Contact ID uses Programmed Reporting Codes
option is enabled, the system will operate as follows:
1. If an event’s reporting code is programmed as [00] or [FF], the
system will not attempt to call central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything
from [01] to [FE], the system will send the programmed
reporting code.
Additional Notes on Contact ID
1. Account numbers must be four digits.
2. If the digit ‘0’ is in the account number substitute the HEX
digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’.
3. All reporting codes must be two digits.
4. If the digit ‘0’ is in the reporting code substitute the HEX digit
‘A’ for the ‘0’.
5. To prevent the system from reporting an event program the
reporting code for the event as [00] or [FF].

Reporting Codes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Section [381], Option [7]
SIA (Level 2)
SIA is a specialized format that will communicate information
quickly using frequency shift keying (FSK) rather than pulses. The
SIA format will automatically generate the type of signal being
transmitted, such as Burglary, Fire, Panic etc. The two digit
reporting code is used to identify the zone or access code number.
If the SIA format is selected the system can be programmed to
automatically generate all zone and access codes numbers eliminating the need to program these items.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is
enabled the system will operate as follows:
1. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as [00] the
system will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything
from [01] to [FF] the system will AUTOMATICALLY generate
the zone or access code number.
3. Bypassed zones will always be identified when partial closing
the system.
The Communicator Call Direction Options can be used to disable
reporting of events such as Openings/Closings. Also, if all the
Opening/Closing reporting codes were programmed as [00] the
system would not report.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is disabled the system will operate as follows:
1. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as [00] or
[FF] the system will not attempt to call central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything
from [01] to [FE] the system will send the programmed reporting code.
3. Bypassed zones will not be identified when partial closing the
system.
NOTE: The zone number for Zone Low Battery and Zone
Fault events will not be identified when Programmed SIA is
used.

Pager Format
The Communicator Format option for either telephone number
can be programmed for Pager Format. If an event occurs and the
Communicator Call Direction options direct the call to a telephone number with the Pager Format selected the system will
attempt to page.
When calling a pager extra digits will be required to make it work
properly.
The following is a list of Hex digits and what function they perform:
HEX (B) - simulates the [*] key on a touch tone telephone
HEX (C) - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone, or
end of telephone number marker
HEX (D) - forces the system to search for dial tone
HEX (E) - forces the system to pause for 2 seconds
HEX (F)
- end of telephone number marker
The system will attempt to call the pager one time. After dialing
the digits in the telephone number the system will send the
account number and reporting code followed by the [#] key (Hex
[C]).
There is no ringback when using Pager Format. The system has
no way of confirming if the pager was called successfully. A failure to communicate trouble will only be generated once the
maximum number of attempts has been reached.
NOTE: Do not use the digit C in a reporting code when
using Pager Format. In most cases, the digit C will be interpreted as a [#], which will terminate the page before it has
finished.
NOTE: If the system detects a busy signal, it will attempt to
page again. It will make the maximum number of attempts
programmed in section [160].
NOTE:Force dialing should be disabled when using Pager
format.
NOTE: When using Pager format, you must program two
pauses (hex digit E) at the end of the telephone number.
Communicator Format Options . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [360]
5.12 Communicator - Reporting Codes
Unless you are using Automatic Contact ID or Automatic SIA formats, reporting codes must be programmed in order for the system to report events to the central station.
Reporting codes are two digits and can use hexadecimal digits A
through F. To disable a reporting code, program it as “FF”
(default setting) or “00”. For a complete description of reporting
codes which can be programmed and lists of automatic Contact
ID and SIA format codes, please see section Appendix A:
“Reporting Codes” on page 25.
Transmission Delay
The Transmission Delay feature is used to delay reporting of
alarms. When a zone is violated and causes an alarm, the Transmission Delay Timer will start. When the timer expires, the sys-
tem will transmit the programmed reporting code. If the system
is disarmed before the timer expires, the alarm will not be transmitted.
The Transmission Delay zone attribute determines which zones
will start the timer.

Low Battery Transmission Delay
When using wireless devices, the battery status of the devices will
be monitored by the system. If a low battery condition exists, the
system will indicate a general transmitter low battery trouble.
The system will delay reporting the event for the number of days
programmed as the Low Battery Transmission Delay. This
delay provides the user with an opportunity to change the batteries on the units before the condition is reported to central station. Instruct the customer on how to change the batteries of
wireless devices to gain maximum use of this feature.
NOTE: After the first Wireless Device Low Battery reporting
code is sent, the system will not send additional low battery
events until the first low battery trouble is restored.
Low Battery Transmission Delay . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [370]
Cross Zone Police Code Reporting

Delinquency Reporting
The Delinquency feature is used to monitor system activity. When
the Delinquency Transmission Delay timer expires, the system
will transmit the Delinquency reporting code.
If the system is programmed to monitor Activity Delinquency,
the timer will be programmed in hours. The timer will start under
the following conditions:
• When the system is armed in the Stay mode
• When the system is disarmed
• When a zone is violated and restored while the system is disarmed/Stay armed (Interior, Interior Delay, Interior Stay/Away,
or Delay Stay/Away zones only).
The activity delinquency timer will be ignored when the system is
armed in the Away mode. Zones that are bypassed in the [*][1]
Bypass menu will not reset the timer.
If the system is programmed to monitor Closing Delinquency,
the timer will be programmed in days. The timer will restart every
time the system is disarmed.

Zone Restorals
If the Restoral on Bell Time-out option is selected, the system
will send the Zone Restoral Reporting Code for the zone if the
bell cut-off time has expired and the zone is secured. If the zone
is not secured when the bell cut-off time expires, the system will
send the restoral immediately once the zone is secured, or when
20
Changing Other NT9010 Functions: 5.13 Talk/Listen-in Programming
the system is disarmed. If the Restoral on Bell Time-out option
is not selected, the system will immediately send the Zone

5.13 Talk/Listen-in Programming
NOTE: The Event Buffer follows Swinger Shutdown option
must be enabled if Talk/Listen-In is used.
The NT9010 system has a Talk/Listen-In feature. This feature
allows central station operators to listen in on what is happening
on the premises, and for some events to talk to anybody present
on the premises. You can program Talk/Listen-in sessions to be
triggered by zone alarms, keypad activated Auxiliary and Panic
alarms, openings/closings, duress alarms, tamper alarms, or
opening after alarm conditions.
For this feature to work, communications must be enabled (section [380], option [1]), and the system must be programmed to
report the event. For example, if a reporting code for a zone is
not programmed, an event in that zone will not initiate Talk/Listen-In session. See section 5.12 “Communicator - Reporting
Codes” on page 20.
You can allow or disallow talk/listen-in sessions on telephone
lines 1 and 3 by changing the Talk/Listen on Phone Lines 1/3
option. You can allow or disallow talk/listen-in sessions on telephone line 2 by changing the Talk/Listen on Phone Line 2
option.
Zone Options
For the feature to work on a zone alarm, you must do the following:
• enroll the zone on the NT9010 (see the Quick Set Up Guide)
• enable the talk/listen-in feature on the zone (in sub-sections
[50] to [53])
• program a reporting code for each zone alarm
You can have the talk/listen-in session take place on either the
NT9010 control unit or the remote sounder (if installed). In the
Port Assignments sections (sub-sections [10] to [13]), choose
the unit that is closest to the zone. If you do not assign one of
the units, the talk/listen-in session will take place over both units.
NOTE: All zones programmed as silent will not initiate a
Talk/Listen-In session. Only a Listen-In session can occur.
Event Options
Panic key alarms will activate the Listen In feature, if the Panic
Keys Alarm option is enabled. Auxiliary key alarms will activate
the feature if the Auxiliary Keys Alarm option is enabled.
Listen-in will be initiated if a Duress code is entered at a keypad
and the Duress Alarm option is enabled.
Talk/Listen-In will be initiated when the system transmits opening
and closing signals if the Openings & Closings option is
enabled. If this option is enabled, it is recommended to enable
the Duress Alarm option.
Talk/Listen-In will be initiated when a zone tamper condition
occurs if the Tampers Enabled option is enabled.
Talk/Listen-In will be initiated when the system is disarmed after
an alarm condition (Opening After Alarm) if the Opening After
Alarm option is enabled.
NOTE:A Talk/Listen-In session cannot be initiated for a Fire
key alarm.
The NT9010 system will end the Talk/Listen-In communication
after the programmed Audio Duration Time expires. The central station operator can extend the on-line time by pressing any
key command or entering the extend time command. (See
“Central Station Talk/Listen-In Functions”, below).
Central Station Talk/Listen-In Functions
Once the central station has established an audio link with the
NT9010 system there are several commands available to the central station operator. Operators can access these commands
using telephone keys [0] through [9], [#] and [*].
The central station may already be using other Talk/Listen-In
equipment. Because of this the NT9010 offers flexible programming for the various commands so the central station operator
can use the same commands for all equipment. Program these
commands in the Audio Control Telephone Key programming
sections. Additional commands may be programmed as Mode
Keys which are two button entries.
The following is the list of options available:
[00] Key Not Used
[10] For Future Use
[01] Talk To All Speakers [11] Cancel First Keypress
[02] For Future Use
[12] For Future Use
[03] Listen to All Stations [13] Zone Select (0 to 3 Only)

5.14 Downloading
Downloading allows programming of the entire system via a
computer, modem and telephone line. All functions and features,
changes and status, such as trouble conditions and open zones
can be viewed or programmed by downloading.
NOTE: When power is applied to the system, a 6 hour
downloading window can be enabled. This will allow you
to perform downloading without having to do any keypad
programming.
21
When an event occurs that the system is programmed to communicate to the central station, the system will disconnect from
the downloading computer and report the event. This will happen for all events except test transmissions.
If you enable the Standard Communications Priority option,
the NT9010 system will only disconnect DLS and Talk/Listen sessions for alarm and Priority (FAP) events that are programmed to
communicate. If the UL Communications Priority option is
enabled, the NT9010 system will disconnect DLS and Talk/Listen
sessions on any event programmed to communicate, with the
exception of Test Transmissions and System Tests.
If the Answering Machine/Double Call option is enabled (or
during the first 6 hours after power up) the system will answer
incoming calls for downloading provided the following conditions occur:
1. The system hears one or two rings then misses a ring.
2. The system will starts the Answering Machine Double Call
Timer.
3. If the system hears another ring before the timer expires, it
will answer on the first ring of the second call.
4. The system will immediately go on line and begin the download process unless the Call Back option is enabled.
5. If Call Back is enabled, the system and computer will both
hang up. The system will then call the Download Computer
Telephone Number and wait for the computer to answer.
Once the computer answers, downloading will begin.
If the User Enabled DLS Window option is ON, the user can
activate the downloading feature for a set period of time by
entering [*][6][Master Code][5].
If the Full 6-hour User Enabled DLS Window option is
enabled, when the user opens the DLS window with [*][6][Master code][5], the DLS window will remain open for six hours. The
DLS window will remain open after a successful hang-up from a
downloading call. If the One Time 1-hour User Enabled DLS
Window option is enabled, when the user opens the DLS window with [*][6][Master code][5], the DLS window will stay open
for one hour, and will close after a successful hang-up from a
downloading call.

5.15 Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM)
When the TLM Enable option is selected, the system will supervise the telephone line and will indicate a trouble condition if the
telephone line is disconnected.
If the TLM Enable option is ON, the system will check the telephone line every 10 seconds. If the telephone line voltage is
below 3V for the number of checks programmed in the TLM
Trouble Delay section, the system will report a TLM trouble. The
default number of checks is 3. Enter a number from (000) to
(255) in the TLM Trouble Delay section to change the number of
checks before the TLM trouble is reported. Programming a delay
means that a momentary interruption of the telephone line will
not cause a trouble condition.
If the TLM Trouble Beeps When Armed option is enabled, the
system will indicate a TLM trouble at the keypad while the system
is armed. To activate the bell output in the case of a TLM trouble
while the system is armed, the TLM Audible (Bell) When
Armed option must be selected.
When the trouble condition is restored, the system can send a
TLM Restoral reporting code. Any events which occur while the
telephone line is down will also be communicated.

Except for the first six hours after power up, the system will not
answer incoming calls unless the Answering Machine/Double
Call option is enabled, or the Number of Rings is programmed
to be more than [0].
5.16 Test Transmissions
If the User Initiated Call-Up option is enabled, the user can
have the system initiate a call to the downloading computer by
pressing [*][6][Master Code][6].
The system can send a Periodic Test Transmission Reporting
Code at the programmed Test Transmission Time of Day. The
Test Transmission Cycle determines the period of time between
tests. The option Land Line Test Transmission in Minutes/
Days allows you to select whether the Land Line Test Transmission cycle will be counted in minutes or days. If you have selected
the test transmission cycle to be in minutes, the Test Transmission
Time of Day counter will not apply.
The Download Access Code and Panel Identifier Code are for
security and proper identification. Both the system and the computer file should have the same information programmed before
attempting to download.
The time to complete a successful download can be significantly
reduced with the use of the PC-Link. This adaptor makes it possible to perform on-site downloading. To Initiate Local Downloading via the PC-Link, enter [✱] [8] [Installer’s Code] [499]
[Installer’s Code] [499]. The keypad will be busy for the duration
of the PC-Link connection. The status LEDs will display the current system status. For more information on connecting the PCLink, refer to your “PC-Link Download Kit Instruction Sheet”.

To ensure that the communication link with the central station is
functioning properly, the system can be programmed to send a
test transmission signal on a regular basis.
NOTE: The Test Transmission Cycle must be greater than 10
minutes. A cycle timer of less than 10 minutes will cause
damage to the system.
When the test transmission cycle is programmed, the system will
send a test transmission the following day. This will indicate the
beginning of the new test transmission cycle to central station.
The end user can also generate a communicator test. If the System Test Reporting Code is programmed, the system will send

The system will take a few seconds to reset. When the keypad is
operational, the default is complete.
5.17 Event Buffer
The system will store the last 128 events that have occurred on
the system. Each event will contain the time, date, and the event
itself along with the zone number, access code number or any
other information pertaining to the event.
If the Event Buffer Follows Swinger Shutdown feature is
enabled the event buffer will not store events after the swinger
shutdown level has been reached. This will prevent the system
from overwriting the entire buffer if a problem exists (see section
5.18 “Swinger Shutdown” on page 23).
The event buffer can be uploaded to a computer through the
DLS software.
Event Buffer Follows Swinger ShutdownSection [013], Option [7]
5.18 Swinger Shutdown
The swinger shutdown feature is designed to prevent a runaway
communicator from tying up the central station. Different limits
can be programmed for Zone Alarms, Zone Tampers and
Maintenance signals. After the system has communicated the
programmed number of transmissions for an event it will no
longer report that event until the swinger shutdown is reset.
For example, the swinger shutdown limit for Zone Alarms is set
to [003]. The system will not send more than 3 alarm signals for
each zone with a swinger attribute until the swinger shutdown is
reset.
The Bell output will not be activated for alarms on zones that
have exceeded the limit of alarms set in the Swinger Shutdown
counter.
Swinger Shutdown will be reset when the system is armed, or
every day at midnight. Once reset, the system will again communicate normally.

1. Enter Advanced Programming
2. Enter Section [901]
24
When any zone is violated the system will activate the Bell Output for two seconds, log the event to the Event Buffer and communicate the alarm to central station. Each zone should be
tested several times during the test. Check the event buffer to
ensure that all zones and FAP keys are functioning properly.
NOTE: The transmission delay timer will affect the communication of events during walk test mode.
To stop the test, you must do the following:
1. Enter Advanced Programming
2. Enter Section [901]
Zones do not have to be restored to stop the test.

WARNING
Please Read Carefully
No t e to In s ta ll ers
Limited Warranty
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however,
involving fire, burglary, or other 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 reasons may be:
Digital Security Controls Ltd. warrants the original purchaser that for a period of twelve months from the
date of purchase, the product shall be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. During the warranty period, Digital Security Controls Ltd. shall, at its option, repair or replace any defective
product upon return of the product to its factory, at no charge for labour and materials. Any replacement and/
or repaired parts are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty or ninety (90) days, whichever is
longer. The original owner must promptly notify Digital Security Controls Ltd. in writing that there is defect
in material or workmanship, such written notice to be received in all events prior to expiration of the warranty period.
■ Inadequate Installation
In t ern a t io n a l Wa r ra n t y
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your
responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system.
S ys te m F a ilu res
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation
should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks
and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings
and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection
expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire
and/or police department is highly recommended 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 these features.
It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and
that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
■ Access by Intruders
The warranty for international customers is the same as for any customer within Canada and the United
States, with the exception that Digital Security Controls Ltd. shall not be responsible for any customs fees,
taxes, or VAT that may be due.
Wa rr a n ty P ro ced u re
To obtain service under this warranty, please return the item(s) in question to the point of purchase. All
authorized distributors and dealers have a warranty program. Anyone returning goods to Digital Security
Controls Ltd. must first obtain an authorization number. Digital Security Controls Ltd. will not accept any
shipment whatsoever for which prior authorization has not been obtained.
C o n d itio n s t o Vo id Wa rr a n ty
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by
moving through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent
the proper operation of the system.
This warranty applies only to defects in parts and workmanship relating to normal use. It does not cover:
•
damage incurred in shipping or handling;
■ Power Failure
•
damage caused by disaster such as fire, flood, wind, earthquake or lightning;
•
damage due to causes beyond the control of Digital Security Controls Ltd. such as excessive voltage,
mechanical shock or water damage;
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate
power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail.
Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a
device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while
it does not have power. Power interruptions of any 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 system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
•
damage caused by unauthorized attachment, alterations, modifications or foreign objects;
•
damage caused by peripherals (unless such peripherals were supplied by Digital Security Controls Ltd.);
■ Failure of Replaceable Batteries
•
defects caused by failure to provide a suitable installation environment for the products;
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years 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 expected. Regular testing and maintenance
will keep the system in good operating condition.
•
damage caused by use of the products for purposes other than those for which it was designed;
•
damage from improper maintenance;
•
damage arising out of any other abuse, mishandling or improper application of the products.
■ Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or
near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
■ System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary
physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is
important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know
how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.
■ 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 improperly installed or positioned. Smoke
may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the
other 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 the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot
sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by
carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
■ Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation
instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not
provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected
in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional
or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or
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 reduced when the ambient temperature rises near 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, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if
there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or
premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be
interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired
person.
■ Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time.
Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its 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 time to protect the occupants or their belongings.
■ Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.
■ Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an
attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or
outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm 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 occupants to act prudently to prevent or
minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
Digital Security Controls Ltd.’s liability for failure to repair the product under this warranty after a reasonable number of attempts will be limited to a replacement of the product, as the exclusive remedy for breach
of warranty. Under no circumstances shall Digital Security Controls Ltd. be liable for any special, incidental,
or consequential damages based upon breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, strict liability, or
any other legal theory. Such damages include, but are not limited to, loss of profits, loss of the product or any
associated equipment, cost of capital, cost of substitute or replacement equipment, facilities or services,
down time, purchaser’s time, the claims of third parties, including customers, and injury to property.
D is c l a i m e r o f Wa r ra n t ie s
This warranty contains the entire warranty and shall be in lieu of any and all other warranties,
whether expressed or implied (including all implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose) And of all other obligations or liabilities on the part of Digital Security Controls Ltd.
Digital Security Controls Ltd. neither assumes nor authorizes any other person purporting to act on
its behalf to modify or to change this warranty, nor to assume for it any other warranty or liability
concerning this product.
This disclaimer of warranties and limited warranty are governed by the laws of the province of
Ontario, Canada.
WARNING: Digital Security Controls Ltd. recommends that the entire system be completely tested on a
