Compatibility
The Alarm.com module with firmware version 172 is compatible with Simon
XT and XTi panels.
Power Up
Reconnect panel battery and AC power. When the Alarm.com module is
connected to a powered control panel, the LEDs at the bottom of the module
will become active (see Table 1 on page 4). It may take a few moments after
power up for the LEDs to become active. If the LEDs do not light up at all,
ensure that the module has been fully inserted into the connector beneath it
then perform a full power cycle by following these steps:
1) Disconnect the battery leads and unplug the panel power transformer
from AC power.
2) Verify that the module is inserted securely and that the antenna is
snapped-in completely.
3) Connect battery leads to the battery. On the XT, make sure to observe
polarity (red to + and black to –) and to keep the wires outside of the tab
holding them in place.
4) Plug the panel power transformer into the AC outlet.
It is important to plug the battery in before plugging in the transformer,
otherwise the panel will issue a “System Low Battery” message regardless of
the battery voltage level.
Troubleshooting LEDs
Status LEDs indicate z-wave network information
LED L2 (yellow)
L2 flashes with every communication between the module and the panel.
Normal pattern calls for a series of quick flashes every two seconds in Idle
Mode or four seconds in PowerSave Mode.
It also occasionally flashes in patterns to indicate Z-Wave status. See the
table for a description of various possibilities.
Table 4: Z-wave LED status indicators
LED 2 LED 5 Device status or error Description
4-blink Add mode (lasts 120
seconds or until a device
is added)
In this mode you can add a
device to the local Z-Wave
network. Devices cannot be
added to a network if they
are already a part of a
network
2-blink Delete mode (lasts 120
seconds or until a device
is deleted)
In this mode you can delete a
device from a Z-Wave
network. A device can only
be in one network at a time,
and must receive a “delete”
command before it can be
learned into a new network
Solid Successful add

After receiving this signal
leave all devices by the HSPA
module for 1 minute. Locks
must be left next to the
module for 4 minutes

Add node attempt failed
because node already in

seconds)
Device you attempted to add
to a network is already in a
network, and must be
“deleted” before it can join a
new network
2-blink No other nodes are in
the network (lasts until a
device is added to the
network)
No devices have been added
that can be controlled by the
HSPA module yet. See above
for instructions on how to
add devices
5-blink Learn mode error (lasts
60 seconds)
The device was not
successfully added to the Z-
Wave network.
6-blink No Home ID present
(lasts until the module
connects to Alarm.com
and is configured)
When the HSPA module first
connects to Alarm.com it is
configured with a necessary
unique network ID
