Compatibility
The Alarm.com module with firmware version 151 & up is
compatible with Simon XT and XTi panels.
Tools and supplies needed
You will need the following tools and supplies:
• Small flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers
• Screws (included)
Power Up
Reconnect panel battery and AC power. When a module is
connected to a powered control panel, the LEDs at the bottom of
the module will become active. 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 in patterns to indicate Z-Wave status. See Table 1 for a
description of various patterns.
Table 1: 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
node/remove
node/replication (lasts
60 seconds)
After receiving this signal,
leave all devices by the
module for 1 minute. Locks
must be left next to the
module for 4 minutes.
Solid

blink
Add node attempt failed
because node already in
network (lasts 60
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
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 module first
connects to Alarm.com it is
configured with a necessary
unique network ID.
LED L5 (yellow)
L5 indicates Z-Wave errors. See Table 5 above for more details.

Regulatory information
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Alarm.com can
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
form that which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
This equipment complies with the FCC RF radiation exposure limits
set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should
be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20
centimeters between the radiator and your body.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only
operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain
approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent
émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un
gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie
Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le
type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire
à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas
produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter
tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
