Your installer has set up your system with your home or business in mind. You may

you have any questions about which features are included on your system, please
ask your installer.

System Works and 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 NT9010 controller, which is

Using the NT9010 you can send commands to the system and check the current
™ ™
system status. Your installer will mount the NT9010 in a convenient location 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
be connected to a detector (motion detector, glassbreak detector, door contact,
etc.). If a detector goes into alarm, the NT9010 will sound an alarm and may
announce the specific zone that caused the alarm (depending on how your
installer has programmed the system).
IMPORTANT A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert
NOTICE 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, please see
page 34.
