1.2.2 Create an
Installation Plan
Draw a rough sketch of the building. Find good locations for the NT9010 control unit
and all the detectors. Here are some guidelines for choosing good mounting locations.
Choosing a NT9010 Mounting Location
Before you mount the NT9010, you should find a place that is:
• Dry
• Far from sources of interference, including:
■electrical noise such as computers, televisions and electric motors in appli-
ances and heating and air conditioning units.
■large metal objects like heating ducts and plumbing which may shield the
antenna.
Choosing Mounting Locations for Wireless Devices
Each type of wireless device has its own set of guidelines for mounting locations.
Before deciding on mounting locations, make sure that you review the guidelines in
the Installation Instructions that come with each device.
1.2.3 Prepare the
Mounting
Location
Once you have selected a suitable place for the NT9010 control unit, make sure that
you will be able to connect the AC power and the telephone line to the NT9010. If
necessary, have an electrician route AC wiring to the mounting location, and have a
telephone installer route the incoming telephone line to the mounting location.
1.2.4 Installing the
NT9010
Mounting the NT9010 Backplate
The NT9010 backplate is the blue-grey piece of plastic that comes attached to the
back of the NT9010 control unit. This is the mounting plate for the NT9010 unit. It
also provides terminals for connecting the wiring to the NT9010.

Chapter 1: Quick Set Up
6
NOTE:Complete all wiring before applying AC power.
To remove the backplate from the NT9010:
1. Remove the plastic screw from the top of the NT9010 unit (see Figure 1). Keep the
screw in a safe location so that you can replace it later.
2. Insert a flathead screwdriver in the slots shown in Figure 1. Twist the screwdriver so
that the backplate separates from the plastic housing.
3. Pull the top of the backplate away from the NT9010.
4. Unhook the backplate from the bottom of the NT9010.
Now you can attach the backplate to the wall:
1. Pull the prepared AC and telephone wires through the square hole in the backplate.
2. Place the backplate on the wall in the selected mounting location, and mark the
screw locations.
3. Using wall anchors for all screw locations, secure the backplate to the wall.
1.2.5 Connecting
the Battery
Before you attach the NT9010 to the backplate, you must connect the battery. The battery
is used to provide backup power in the event of an AC power failure and to provide addi-
tional current when necessary, such as when the system is in alarm.
NOTE:Place the unit face down before removing the plastic.
1. Remove the two metal screws at the back of the NT9010.
2. Remove the back plastic from the NT9010.
3. Connect the RED battery lead to the positive (+) terminal of the battery, the BLACK
battery lead to the negative (-) terminal.

Connecting AC and Telephone Wiring
Connect the AC and telephone line wiring to the ter-
minals 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 termi-
nals, completing the connection.
AC Terminals
For the NT9010 to work correctly, you will need to
connect it to an AC power source that is not con-
trolled 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.
NOTE:Risk of fire if the rated voltage is not
used. Do not power the Envoy controller at a
voltage higher than 9V AC. Use only transformer Model PTD920 as supplied with
the unit.
NOTE:Do not connect the transformer to a power supply until all other wiring
is complete.
NOTE:If you remove power from the unit (AC and battery), you must wait at
least 10 seconds before reapplying power.
Telephone Terminals - TIP, RING, T-1, R-1
If a telephone line is required for users to have local or remote telephone access to the sys-
tem, 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 in Figure 2.
NOTE: Please ensure that all plugs and jacks meet the dimension, tolerance and
metallic plating requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Part 68,
Subpart F. For proper operation there must be no other telephone equipment con-
nected between the control panel and the telephone company facilities.
Do not connect the alarm panel 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.
A minimum 26AWG wire for telephone lines must be used for UL installations.
Connecting Zone Wiring –Hardwired
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 2.3.3 Enrolling Hardwired
Zones on page 36). For a complete description of the operation of all zone types, please
see 2.3.1 Zone Definitions on page 33.
Use the following NT9010 terminals to make your zone connec-
tions:
There are two different ways in which zones may be wired,
depending on which programming options have been selected.

Here are some notes about system programming done through Flash Programming.
Zone Definitions
When you enter a serial number for a device into the NT9010 Flash Programming, the unit
will analyze the number to determine what kind of device you are enrolling. Based on the
type of device, the system will make the following programming choices:
NOTE: To ensure that the NT9010 works properly, you should enroll all entry/
exit point zones first.
NOTE:PIR’s covering entry points should be zone type [06] Delay Stay/Away
[01] Delay 1 Zone: If this zone is violated when the system is armed (e.g.
door or window is opened), the entry delay will begin. The 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 gener-
ated.
Device Type Zone Definition Other Programming

[05] Interior Stay/Away Zone: If this type of zone is violated when the sys-
tem is armed (e.g. the motion detector senses motion), an instant alarm
will be generated unless a Delay Zone is violated first. If a Delay Zone is
violated first, this zone will also follow the entry delay.
The zone will be automatically bypassed under the following conditions:
■the NT9010 is armed in the Stay Mode
■the NT9010 is armed without entry delay ([✱][9] arming)
■the NT9010 is armed with an access code and during the exit delay a Delay
zone is NOT violated (user does not go through the entry/exit door).
If zones are automatically bypassed, the user can reactivate the zones by
entering [✱][1].
[87] 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.
If after the 90 second delay the zone is still violated the process will begin
again: the alarm will sound but the alarm communication will be delayed
for 30 seconds.
If the user does not press the [#] key, after 30 seconds the alarm will latch
on and the system will communicate a fire alarm to the central station.
The alarm will sound until the Bell Cutoff time expires, or until a valid
code is entered.
Programming Zone Labels
If an enrolled device is a door/window contact, motion detector, glassbreak detector, or
smoke detector the system will then prompt you to enter an audio label for the new zone.
You can choose from any of the following preset audio labels:
If necessary, you can also program custom labels for the zones through the NT9010 Flash
Programming.

1. For door/window contacts, motion detectors, and glassbreak detectors, at the appropri-
ate place in Flash Programming, instead of selecting labels A to E, press function key F.
2. You can now enter up to six pre-programmed words from the Audio Label Library. For
each word you want to program, enter a 3-digit code from the Label Library (for a list of
labels and codes, see the NT9010 Programming Worksheets, Appendix A). If your label is
less than six words, press [#] at the end of the label.
3. If you want to use a recorded label instead of the words available in the Audio Label
Library, enter [244] for the first label entry, then the number of the label [001] to [005].
The recorded label will replace all six words in the section. You will not be able to add
additional words to the label. To record a label for a zone, please see section 2.1.5 Pro-
gramming Audio Labels on page 16.
4. When you have entered the label, the system will recite it. If the label is correct, press [1]. If
the label is not correct, press [2] and repeat steps 1 to 3 to fix the label.
NOTE:You must accept a label to exit this section. If you choose F for a custom label,
then you must create your own label using the Audio Label Library and accept it.
NOTE:If you chose one of the audio labels, section [001] to [005] (#3 above) and
there is no audio label recorded, the label will default to “zone X” where “X” is the
zone number of the device enrolled. When the label is recorded in section [807],
[701] to [705] it will be used.
Entering the Central Station Telephone Number
When prompted, enter the telephone number for the central station. The number can be up to
32 digits long. When you program the number, the system automatically inserts the hexadeci-
mal digit “D” at the beginning, to tell the system to conduct a dial tone search before dialing. If
necessary, you can enter the following hexadecimal digits in the telephone number:
• HEX B to dial “✱” (function button B “Away”)
• HEX C to dial “#” (function button C “Chime”)
• HEX D for an additional dial tone search (function button D “Exit”)
• HEX E to insert a 2-second pause (function button E “Status”)
When you have finished entering the telephone number, press [✱]. The system will recite the
number back to you.
Entering the Account Code
The system will send the account code to the central station when communicating system
events (e.g. Low Battery, Test Transmission). Enter a 4-digit code.
Testing the Placement of Wireless Devices
Each wireless detector must pass three consecutive placement tests before it will work properly
on the system. Follow the instructions in Flash Programming to conduct the tests. The buzzer
will squawk once for “Good” placement and three times for “Bad” placement.
If you exit the Placement Test section before all the zones have passed the necessary placement
tests, a General System Trouble is generated. This trouble can only be cleared by re-entering the
Placement Test and testing all of the devices that have not yet passed, or by deleting the serial
numbers of the devices that did not pass the test (see 1.2.9 Deleting Wireless Devices on
page 13).
NOTE:Deleting or passing the zone through DLS will not clear this trouble.

1.2.8 Other NT9010
Options
After all zones have passed the Placement Test, Flash Programming will move to the
advanced programming sections. If you do not need to do more programming, press [#] to
exit.
If you need to complete programming not covered by Flash Programming, please see
Chapter 2: Advanced Programming on page 15 . For example, you may need to change
the definitions of one or more zones. This programming is described in 2.3.1 Zone Defini-
tions on page 33.
1.2.9 Deleting
Wireless
Devices
To remove a wireless device from the system, you will need to use the advanced program-
ming sections.
1. Press [✱][8], then enter the Installer’s code. The default Installer’s code is [5555].
3. When prompted, press [2] to go to advanced programming.
4. Enter [804], then enter the 2-digit number of the zone you want to delete (01 - 32).
The system announces the current serial number for the zone.
5. Program the serial number for the zone as [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.

Section 1.3: Troubleshooting
1.3.1 Typical
Installation
Problems and
Solutions
When I try a placement test I get no result or “Bad”results.
Check the following:
• Are you testing the correct zone?
• Was the correct serial number entered when the device was enrolled?
• Is the device in range of the NT9010? Try testing the device in the same room as the
NT9010.
• Are you testing the zone correctly? (See the Installation Instruction sheet for each
device for testing instructions.)
• Are the batteries working and installed correctly?
• Are there any large metal objects that may be preventing the signal from reaching
the NT9010?
The device must be located where at least three “Good” results are obtained. If several
devices show “Bad” results, or if wireless keys operate inconsistently, you may need to
move the NT9010. See 1.2.2 Create an Installation Plan on page 5 for tips on choosing
a mounting location for the NT9010.
The LED on the motion detector does not turn on when I walk in front
of the unit.
The LED is for walk test purposes only. See your WLS904-433, WLS904PL-433 or WLS914-
433 Installation Instruction sheet for walk test instructions.

Section 2.1: Programming the NT9010
The chapter describes how to use advanced programming. For instructions on using Flash Programming, please see
Chapter 1: Quick Set Up Guide.
2.1.1 How to Enter
Advanced
Programming
You can use the Advanced Programming to set all communicator and system options. The
Installer Code is [5555] at default, but should be changed to prevent unauthorized access
to programming.
Step 1: From any keypad enter [✱][8][Installer Code].
• The System light will flash and the Armed light will turn on to indicate you are in
programming
• The NT9010 will announce “To use Flash Programming press 1. To bypass Flash Pro-
gramming press 2.”
Step 2: To skip Flash Programming and go to the advanced programming sections, press
[2].
Step 3: Enter the 3-digit section number you want to program.
• The Armed light will turn off and the Ready light will turn on to indicate the system
is ready for the information for the selected section
• You can use the Forward (Playback) button to go forward through the advanced pro-
gramming data. The Backward (Record) button will not work in the advanced pro-
gramming sections, except for sections [301] to [303], and [402].
Step 4: Sections [802], [804], or [807] have 2- or 3-digit sub-sections. To access program-
ming in these sections enter the programming sub-section number.
NOTE: If the section number entered is not valid, the NT9010 will sound an
error tone and say the section number that was entered.

2.1.2 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
(except for sections [301] to [303], and section [402]).

2.1.3 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:
Button Name HEX Digit
Stay A
Away B
Chime C
Exit D
Status E
Volume F
If you enter information into a section and make a mistake, press the [#] key to exit the sec-
tion. Select that section again and re-enter the information correctly.
If you are using a pulse communications format, a decimal zero [0] does not transmit. Pro-
gramming 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’.
2.1.4 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.
2.1.5 Programming
Audio Labels You can program audio labels for the system, and for each of the zones. If you enroll the
zones using Flash Programming, you can choose from five pre-set labels for the zone
(please see Chapter 1: Quick Set Up).
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 ([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 on page 27 in
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 17. 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 [005]. The recorded label will replace all six
words in the section. To record a label, see Recording Custom Labels on page 17.
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.
