Fire Detection This NT9010 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 23.
NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equip-
ment for it to work.
Te sti ng 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 20. 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 Testing Your System on page 20 to check 
the battery condition of the NT9010 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 26.
NOTE: The NT9010 is only compatible with DSC wireless devices.
