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
NOTE:
Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equip-
ment for it to work.
Testing
To make sure your system continues to work as intended, you must test your sys-
tem weekly. Please refer to
Testing your System
on page 18. 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 on page 18 to check the battery condition of the
NT9005 controller. DSC recommends that the standby 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.
