Does Nortech offer installation services?

No. We are a manufacturer and supplier only, but if you do need an installer, we can recommend reputable companies nationwide. Should that be the case, you can contact our sales office on +44 (0) 1633 485 533.

However, we do offer an on-site commissioning service. This service is offered to customers who require one of our technical support team to visit site to assist with commissioning and customer training. Please contact our sales department for a quotation.

Where can I download NorPass?

NorPass is available from the Installers Support section of our website. To gain access to it, phone our office and ask to speak to Marketing, who will then give you a username and password. If you are reading this shortly after our new website goes live, our Installers Section may not be available yet, and we may send you a CD with the software in the post.

Is Nortech Control Systems Ltd the same company as Nortek Security & Control ?

No. The companies are unconnected.

Technical FAQs
What is the procedure for ordering sequentially numbered credentials (cards and fobs)

When ordering sequentially numbered credentials we ask for a completed credential order form to accompany the order. Please note: details of the site code and sequential numbers are required.

Do you have wiring documents?

Our products can be configured in many ways, and there are a few variables which we, as a manufacturer, will not be aware of. Consequently, it would be impossible to create a wiring diagram for every situation.

My product is displaying an error message associated with a fault. What should I do?

If the error message has appeared on a computer, press the ‘print screen’ button. Then open a basic image programme such as MS Paint, and in a new document, press paste. Save the screenshot, and email it to the technical team.


Should the error message appear on a device, you can either write down the message, or take a picture of it with a camera. Then email the message to our technical team with a description of the fault.

The product's lights are out, and I suspect that it's no longer working. What should I do?

Conduct a fault finding exercise to isolate the problem. Once you have tried a number of avenues and the product is still not working, you are likelier to have the information which our technical department can use to fix the product. When you have that, please consult with our technical team.
