Introduction

The Simon XT uses wireless technology to warn your family about intrusion, carbon

monoxide and fire. The system communicates with a central monitoring station and

sends voice messages to an offsite phone.

The security system uses sensors that communicate alarms to the control panel

using radio waves.

The system is supervised, meaning that the panel checks the status of each sensor to

detect problems. If the panel detects trouble, it will notify you with displayed and

spoken messages, beeps, and indicator lights on the panel itself.

A Simon XT installation may include any of the devices listed in Table 1 below.

Table 1: Simon XT system components

Component Type Description

Control panel Operates and programs your security system. It

communicates to you through displayed and spoken

messages. The panel can communicate to a central

monitoring station and send voice messages to your offsite

phone.

Remote handheld Controls the security system primarily from within the house.

Simon XT talking

touchpad

Controls the security system primarily from within the house.

Simon XT talking

touch screen

Controls the security system primarily from within the house.

Touchpads

Key fob This keychain touchpad controls the security system from

within or near the outside of your home.

Indoor motion Detects motion in protected indoor area. When motion is

detected, the panel may respond by sounding chimes or an

alarm.

Outdoor motion Detects motion in a protected outdoor area. When motion is

detected, the system may respond by sounding chimes or

turning on outside lights. These sensors are not used for

intrusion detection.

Door/window Detects the opening of a door or window.

Smoke Detects smoke or a significant rise in temperature. They have

a built-in siren that sounds when smoke or a significant rise

in temperature is detected.

Freeze Detects furnace failure. If the inside temperature drops

below 41ºF (5ºC), the sensor will notify the panel. The sensor

will send a restore signal to the panel when the temperature

rises to 50ºF (10ºC).

Sensors

Carbon monoxide Detects carbon monoxide. They have a built-in siren that

sounds when carbon monoxide is detected.

Simon XT V2 User Manual 3

Component Type Description

Personal help

button

A wireless device used for activating police, fire, or auxiliary

alarms through your security system.

You can send commands or instruct your security system through a series of key

presses on the panel, touchpads, or a remote telephone.

Table 2: System communication devices

Device Description

Control panel You can enter commands for your security system through simple key

presses on the panel. Depending on how your system is programmed,

you may need to enter an access code for certain commands. An access

code is a numeric code that allows authorization to operate your security

system.

Remote handheld

touchpad

This touchpad gives you the option to enter commands from any room in

your house. You can enter commands through simple key presses on the

touchpad.

Simon XT talking touchpad The two-way talking touchpad is a wireless device that provides a

convenient option to: arm the system (doors, windows, and motion

sensors), arm the system with no entry delay, disarm the system, activate

a panic alarm to call the central monitoring station in a nonmedical

emergency, check system status, and turn system controlled lights on or

off (all or individual), all while providing voice feedback.

Simon XT talking touch

screen

The two-way talking touch screen is a wireless device that provides a

graphical user interface that allows you to: arm the system (doors,

windows, and motion sensors), arm the system with no entry delay,

disarm the system, activate a panic alarm to call the central monitoring

station in a nonmedical emergency, check system status, and turn system

controlled lights on or off (all or individual), all while providing voice

feedback. The touch screen also provides trouble beeps, entry/exit beeps

and alarm sounds (Fire, Aux, Police).

Key fob Key fobs are handy for simple arming and disarming control functions.

They are portable and can be carried offsite in a purse or pocket.

Telephone Touchtone telephones can be used to communicate with your system

while you are offsite. Ask your installer if you have this feature.

Note: The default master code is 1-2-3-4 when the security system is shipped from

the factory. You should change your code after your system is installed.

4 Simon XT V2 User Manual

Using the Simon XT security system

You can operate the self-contained security system through several different

methods:

• Use the front panel buttons to arm/disarm the system when you enter or exit your

home and to determine which sensors are active and the system status.

• Use the three fast action keys to communicate with the central monitoring station

to report emergency (auxiliary), police, or fire alarms.

• Use a combination of the panel buttons and the display menu to program certain

user features. This method is used by your installer to establish your system

configuration. (See “Programming” on page 20.)

Panel controls

The self-contained panel provides the user interface for system operation and

programming system functions.

LEDs

Every key on the front keypad has an LED behind it, except for the scroll arrow keys.

There are four status LEDs behind the row of keys below the LCD display. These

status LEDs indicate the arming level. There is one status LED behind the OK button.

This status LED is lit when there are no open sensors in the system. All other LEDs are

controlled as a group and provide backlighting for the keypad for 30 seconds after a

key is pressed.

Simon XT features

The Simon XT features provide you with the ability to perform the following functions:

• Arm perimeter (doors and windows) and interior (motion) sensors to indicate

intruders.

• Use one button to send quick response alerts to the central monitoring station.

• Access the system from a key fob (similar to the one used for your car).

• Access the system from a remote telephone.

• Disable sensors so you can leave a window open while the system is armed.

• Get an audio alert when a protected door is opened while the system is disarmed.

• Have the system notify you if your children do not arrive at home by a

predetermined time.

Simon XT V2 User Manual 7

Home security

The Simon XT allows you to control which sensors are active at any given time.

Table 4 below describes the arming levels that you can set from the control panel.

Table 4: Arming levels

Level Function Description

0 Subdisarm If your system includes 24-hour protection sensors, you must

subdisarm the panel before accessing these areas to avoid

causing an alarm. Environmental sensors (such as smoke or

carbon monoxide detectors detectors) stay active at all times.

1 Disarm In this level, only 24-hour sensors are active. Environmental

sensors (such as smoke or carbon monoxide detectors

detectors) stay active at all times.

2 Arm door and window

sensors (exterior)

This level arms the door and window sensors, while leaving the

interior motion sensors disarmed.

3 Arm motion sensors (interior) This level arms the interior motion sensors, while leaving the

exterior door and window sensors disarmed.

4 Arm doors/windows and

motion sensors

This level arms all sensors.

Arming/disarming

Arming a sensor makes it active and allows the panel to generate an alarm when a

door or window is opened or when an unauthorized person enters a specific area.

Disarming makes the sensor inactive in the system. The current arming level is shown

on the panel display and changes in arming level are announced on the speaker.

To subdisarm (level 0):

1. Enter the master code while the system is disarmed.

The panel displays and speaks Subdisarmed, the Disarm button blinks, and the

panel beeps once.

2. When you finish accessing the temporarily unprotected areas, press Disarm to

return to the disarmed level.

To disarm (level 1):

1. Press Disarm.

2. Enter your code when the display shows Enter Code.

The panel displays and speaks Disarmed, the Disarm button lights up, and the

panel beeps once.
