Section 1: Introduction
Your installer has set up your system with your home or business in mind. You may
not need all of the features described in this manual. Your installer will only turn
on the features that you need, and should explain all the active features to you. If
you have any questions about which features are active on your system, ask your
installer.
How Your
System Works
Your security system consists of a DSC NT9005 controller, and various wireless
devices.
The controller is the “brain” of your security system. It controls and checks all the
detectors, and communicates with the central station (if remote monitoring is
enabled). You will access system functions with your NT9005 controller, which is
described on pages 2 and 3 of this manual. Each NT9005 has a siren, number pad,
emergency keys, and five function keys.
Using the NT9005 keypad you can send commands to the system and check the
current system status. Your installer will mount the NT9005 in a convenient loca-
tion inside your premises.
Your security system can provide monitoring of intrusion, fire, and emergency.
The security system has several zones (monitored areas). Each of these zones will
have a detector (motion detector, glassbreak detector, door contact, etc.). A detec-
tor sends signals to the NT9005 which will respond according to programming.
IMPORTANT
NOTICE
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert
you and – if the system is remotely monitored – your central station of an
emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they
may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for pru-
dent security practices or life and property insurance. Your security system
should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who
should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and
on system operations. For important warnings and cautions, see page 32.
Introduction
5
Fire Detection This NT9005 controller is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as
smoke detectors and providing a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire
detection depends on having an adequate number of detectors placed in appro-
priate locations. The system must be installed in accordance with NFPA 72
(N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269). Carefully review Fire Safety on
page 21.
NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equip-
ment for it to work.
Te s t i n g To make sure your system continues to work as intended, you must test your sys-
tem weekly. Please refer to on page 17. If your system does not work correctly,
call your installer for service.
Remote
Monitoring
This system can send alarms, troubles and emergency messages over telephone
lines to a central station. If you accidentally initiate an alarm, immediately call the
central station to prevent an unnecessary response.
NOTE: Your installer must enable remote monitoring for it to work.
Maintenance With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance, but please note the
following points:
1. Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a
slightly moistened cloth should remove normal dust accumulations.
2. Use the system test described in on page 17 to check the battery condition of
the NT9005 controller. We recommend that the stand-by battery be replaced
every three years.
3. Consult the manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance instructions
for other system devices such as smoke detectors, motion detectors, and glass-
break detectors. For instructions on replacing detector batteries, see Replacing
Batteries on page 24.
NOTE: The NT9005 is only compatible with DSC wireless devices.

Section 3: Turning Your System On
(Arming) and Off (Disarming)
This section describes how to turn your system on and off. Read this section care-
fully.
Tur ning On
Your System
1. Before you turn on your system, make sure that it is Ready. You can tell that the
system is ready when the green (Ready) light is ON. If the green light is not on,
see the Note below.
2. Enter your access code on the keypad. If you have entered the wrong code, the
keypad will sound one long beep - try again to enter the correct code.
When you enter a valid access code:
• The keypad sounds fast beeps.
• The red (Armed) light turns ON.
• The keypad starts to beep once every second. This tells you that the system
is turning on (Audible Exit Delay).
3. If you will be leaving, go out through the entry/exit door. Doing this tells the sys-
tem that you are away, and the system turns on completely.
If you will be staying, do not open the entry/exit door. This tells the system that
you are staying, and the system turns on only the perimeter areas.
NOTE: If the green (Ready) light is not on:
• Close all doors and windows
• Stop motion in all areas with motion detectors
If the yellow (Trouble) light is ON, check for possible trouble conditions (see
Checking Trouble Conditions on page 16), and check that no zones are
turned off unintentionally (see Turning Off Part of Your System (Bypassing
Zones) on page 15).
8
Tur ning Off
Your System
1. If you are outside, enter through the entry/exit door. The keypad beeps to
remind you to turn off the system.
NOTE: Entering by any other door will immediately cause an alarm.
2.Enter your [access code]. If you have entered from outside, you must enter
the correct access code before the keypad stops beeping. If you do not enter a
valid access code during this time, the system will sound an alarm.
NOTE: If you have entered the wrong code the keypad will sound one long
beep - try again to enter the correct code.
As soon as you enter the correct code, the red (Armed) light turns OFF and the
keypad stops beeping.
3. If an alarm occurred while the system was on, the NT9005 will display the
Memory icon. See Checking Alarms in Memory on page 14.
CAUTION: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you
were away, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to
a nearby safe location, and call your central station or the local authorities
to investigate. The alarm memory is cleared each time the system is turned
on, so any alarms showing have occurred while you were away.
Other Ways to
Tur n Your
System On
There are two basic methods for turning on your security system.
•Away: Use this method when everyone will be away from the premises. See
page 9.
•Stay: Use this method when one or more people will stay on the premises. See
page 10.
You can also use any of the following methods to turn on your system (see pages
10 to 11):
•Quick Arming: Turn on your system without having to enter an access code.
Your installer must turn on this feature before it will work.
•No Entry Arming: Turn on your system with no entry time - use this method
when no one else will be entering the premises.
•Automatic Arming: The system will turn itself on at pre-set times. Your
installer must turn on this feature before it will work.

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 author-
ities 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. If there is a fire, or if you are not sure, fol-
low your evacuation plan immediately (see Fire Escape Planning on page
21).
If remote monitoring is enabled, the system will send a fire message to the central
station. Your installer may have set up the keypad Fire keys and other fire equip-
ment to send a fire alarm message to the central station as soon as they are acti-
vated.
Your installer may have set up other equipment (e.g., smoke detectors) to have a
30 second delay before sending the alarm message to the central station. Your
installer will inform you how the equipment on your system operates. Equipment
that has been set up with a 30 second delay (e.g., smoke detectors) gives you time
to correct the problem before a false alarm is sent to the central station.
If there is no fire condition, to silence the fire alarm:
1. Press within 30 seconds of the beginning of the alarm. The fire alarm and
communication to the central station will be delayed for 90 seconds to give you
time to clear the smoke detector.
2. If the detector still detects smoke after 90 seconds, the alarm will sound again.
If there is no smoke, the system will return to normal.
3. If you do not press within the 30 second delay time, the system will send a
fire message to the central station (if remote monitoring is enabled on your sys-
tem). To silence the fire alarm after the 30 second delay has expired, enter your
[access code].
NOTE: If you suspect that a fire message has been transmitted, but there is
no fire condition, call the central station to avoid an unnecessary response.
NOTE: Your installer may have programmed the system to operate differ-
ently than described above. Ask your installer for more information
regarding your system’s operation.

Intrusion
(Burglary)
Alarms
A steady siren means an intrusion alarm.
To silence the alarm:
1. Enter your [access code].
2. If the alarm was unintentional, call your central station immediately to avoid an
unnecessary response.
3. Check the alarm memory to see which zone caused the alarm.
Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the system will return to the
Ready state.
Checking
Alarms in
Memory
The ‘Memory’ message will be displayed if there is an alarm in memory. To view
zones that have gone into alarm press . The alarm memory is cleared each
time the system is turned on. Alarms displayed by the system will have only
occurred during the last time the system was on.
CAUTION: If you return and find that there was an alarm while you were
away, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to a
nearby safe location, and call your central station or the local authorities to
investigate.
Calling for
Help
The NT9005 has three pairs of emergency keys. Using these keys you can send an
immediate Fire, Auxiliary or Panic message to your central station.
IMPORTANT: The Fire, Auxiliary and Panic keys will NOT function unless
they have been turned ON by the installer. If your installer has turned these
keys ON, and enabled audible feedback, holding down the keys for two
seconds will cause the keypad sounder to beep indicating that the alarm
input has been accepted and transmission to the central station is under-
way.
From the NT9005 controller
Press both keys for two seconds to send a Fire message, and to trigger a
fire alarm on the system.
Press both keys for two seconds to send an Auxiliary message.
Press both keys for two seconds to send a Panic message.

Section 5: Using Advanced Functions
This section describes how to perform more specialized functions: turning off spe-
cific detectors (bypassing zones), turning the door chime on or off, checking sys-
tem troubles, and testing your system.
Tur ning Off
Part of Your
System
(Bypassing
Zones)
Sometimes, you may need to temporarily turn off one or more detectors. For
example,if you need to go into a protected area while the system is turned on; or,
if a detector is temporarily out of service but you need to turn on the system.
This is called “bypassing”. When you bypass a detector, it will not turn on the
next time you turn on your system.
Detectors (zones) cannot be bypassed once the system is on. Bypasses on detec-
tors are automatically cancelled each time the system is turned off. You must
bypass the detectors again, if required, before you turn the system on again.
Bypassing a Zone
1. Start with the system turned off. Press .
2. Enter your [access code], if the the display goes blank.
3. Enter the two-digit number (01-32) of the detector you want to turn off (bypass).
The system will scroll all bypassed detectors.
TIP: To find out the number of a detector, check in Zone Information on page 30.
4. To turn a detector back on, enter the two-digit number of the zone (01-32).
The system will return the zone to normal status and the zone will be ON when
the system is next armed.
The system will then scroll all bypassed zones.
5. When you are finished turning off detectors, press .
6. The next time you turn on your system, the bypassed detectors will not turn
on. When you turn your system off again, all zones will return to normal (they
will not be bypassed).
Bypassing a Group of Zones
Two groups of pre-programmed zones can be stored for future use.
1 Bypass all zones you wish to group as described above.
2 Enter 95 to store the zones in group 1 or 96 to store them in group 2.
3 To recall group 1 press 91; to activate group 2 press 92
NOTE: Bypassed detectors will not be able to sound an alarm - this reduces
your level of security. If a detector is not working, call a service technician
immediately so that the problem can be resolved and your system returned
to proper working order.

NOTE: For security reasons, your installer may program the system to pre-
vent you from turning off certain detectors (for example, smoke detectors).
NOTE: If you have 24-hour zones (zones that are continuously on) on your
system, they will stay bypassed until you turn off the bypass using the steps
above (ask your installer for more information).
Checking
Trouble
Conditions
Your system continuously checks for a number of possible trouble conditions. If
one of these trouble conditions occur:
• The yellow (Trouble) light will be ON until the trouble is fixed.
• The keypad will beep twice every 10 seconds until it is acknowledged by press-
ing the key.
• A Trouble condition reduces the level of security your system provides. Call your
installing company for service.

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. If you are uncertain about the condition
of your electrical appliances or household service, have a professional evaluate
these units.
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well-ventilated,
cool area? Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are fire-hazardous materials (e.g., matches) well out of reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in
good working order? Have a professional evaluate these appliances.
Fire Escape
Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it
becomes deadly. Therefore it is very important to develop and rehearse a family
escape plan.
1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since
many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape
routes from sleeping quarters.
3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior door.
Consider the following when making your escape plans:
• Make sure that all exterior doors and windows are easily opened. Ensure that
they are not painted shut, and that their locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
• If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly, or the hand-
icapped, plans for rescue should be developed. This includes making sure that
those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be
provided as well as training in its use.
• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from
exterior patio doors in winter. Outdoor furniture or equipment should not block
exits.
• Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point where everyone
can be accounted for (e.g., across the street or at a neighbor’s house). Once
everyone is out of the building, call the Fire Department.
22
• 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.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests
(see Checking Trouble Conditions on Page 16). If you are unsure about sys-
tem operation, contact your installing dealer.
• We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further
information on fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire
prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.
23
Section 8: Guidelines for
Locating Smoke Detectors
Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes gen-
erate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments
with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable
quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in
most cases. For these reasons, smoke alarms should be
installed outside of each sleeping area and on each
story of the home.
The following information is for general guidance only
and it is recommended that local fire codes and regula-
tions be consulted when locating and installing smoke
alarms.
It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond
those required for minimum protection be installed.
Additional areas that should be protected include: the
basement; bedrooms, especially where smokers sleep;
dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and any hall-
ways not protected by the required units.
On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30
feet) apart as a guide. Other spacing may be required
depending on ceiling height, air movement, the pres-
ence of joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult National
Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-S553-M86 or other
appropriate national standards for installation recom-
mendations.
Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or
gabled ceilings; the dead air space in these locations
may prevent the unit from detecting smoke.
Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors,
fans or windows. Rapid air movement around the
detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit.
Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity.
Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature
rises above 38oC (100oF) or falls below 5oC (41oF).
Smoke detectors should always be installed in accor-
dance with NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code.
Smoke detectors should always be located in accor-
dance with:
• Paragraph 2-2.1.1.1 of NFPA 72, Chapter 2.:Smoke
detectors shall be installed outside of each separate
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bed-
rooms and on each additional storey of the family
living unit, including basements and excluding crawl
spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction, a
smoke detector also shall be installed in each sleep-
ing room.
• Paragraph 2-2.1.1.2 of NFPA 72, Chapter 2.:Split
level arrangement: Smoke detectors are required
where shown. Smoke detectors are optional where
a door is not provided between living room and
recreation room.
24
Section 9: Replacing Batteries
From time to time, the batteries in the detectors and other components of your system will
need to be changed. If a device has a low battery, your system will display a trouble mes-
sage (see Checking Trouble Conditions on page 16).
When the batteries in one device need to be replaced, it is suggested that the batteries in all
system devices be replaced at the same time. The batteries used in the devices are Eveready
Alkaline Energizer or Energizer Lithium batteries.
NOTE: Before changing the batteries in the detectors, you should inform your cen-
tral station.
Tips for
Buying
Batteries
• Your system is designed to work with either Eveready Alkaline Energizer or Lithium bat-
teries according to the individual device. When replacing batteries, be sure to buy the
same brand and type. Do not replace the batteries with any other type. The reliability of
your security system depends on its batteries, and “no name” or generic brand batteries
may not provide the best quality and dependability.
• Use fresh batteries. Most batteries have a “best before” date printed on their packaging
or on the batteries themselves. Buy batteries that have a “best before” date of two
years or more from your purchase date.
• When disposing of used batteries, follow the instructions and precautions printed on
the batteries. Many cities and communities have collection sites or disposal services.
Contact your municipal offices for more information.
• If in doubt about the batteries used in your system, or if you have trouble installing
them, contact your installer for assistance.
Required Batteries
After Installing
New Batteries
After you change the batteries on your system, the system may display trouble conditions.
A zone tamper should be displayed for each detector that had batteries changed. A zone
fault may also be displayed for these detectors. Refer to Checking Trouble Conditions
on page 16 for information on checking Zone Faults and Zone Tampers.
Be sure to perform a complete test of your system after new batteries are installed to ensure
that all detectors are working properly (see on page 17).

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. Intrusion alarms sound with a steady siren.
Fire alarm: An alarm triggered by fire, smoke or heat detectors. Fire alarms may
be triggered at any time, whether the system is on or off. Fire alarms sound with a
pulsing siren.
Audible exit
fault
A feature that warns you of an improper exit (e.g., door not completely shut)
when you attempt to turn on your system. Helps to prevent false alarms.
Away arming Turning on the system so that all the detectors (perimeter and interior) are on.
(Used when everyone is away from the premises.)
Bypassing a
zone
Turning off a detector temporarily. When you bypass a zone, the detector for that
zone will not monitor activity in the zone and will not be able to trigger an alarm
until the system has been turned off, then on again.
Central
station
If remote monitoring is enabled, your system will send alarms, troubles and emer-
gency messages to the central station. If necessary, the central station will then
notify authorities in your area.
Detector A part of the system that can detect and report problems (e.g., a motion detector
can tell if there is movement in a room).
Emergency
message
A message sent to the central station when one of the 3 pairs of emergency keys
( ) is pressed and held for two seconds. Your installer must program these
keys, or they will not work.
Entry time A timer programmed by your installer. It starts when you enter an area of the sys-
tem that is on. You must enter an access code to turn the system off before the
timer runs out, or else an alarm will be triggered.
28
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

WARNING Please Read Carefully
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with sys-
tem users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention
of the users of this system.
System Failures
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 com-
promised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons.
Some but not all of these reasons may be:
■ Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protec-
tion. 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 con-
struction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly rec-
ommended if this service is available.
■ Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time
of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques
which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that a security sys-
tem 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
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing
device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage, discon-
nect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the sys-
tem.
■ Power Failure
controllers, 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 inopera-
tive 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.
■ Failure of Replaceable Batteries
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.
■ 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 inad-
vertent radio signal interference.
■ System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to per-
manent 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 intrud-
ers and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area pro-
tection. 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. How-
ever 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 inter-
fered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air condition-
ers 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.
