Simon XT/XTi GSM Module V4
Installation Instructions
Figure 1: Status LEDs
Introduction
The GSM Module V4 for Simon XT and XTi enables wireless reporting
of all alarms and other system events from the GE Simon XT and XTi
control panels using an all-digital,
digital, GSM/GPRS wireless (cellular)
network. The module can be used as the primary communication
path for all alarm signaling, or as a backup to a telephone line
connection to the central monitoring station. The wireless alarm
signaling and routing service is operated by Alarm.com. The V4
module also features integrated support for Alarm.com’s
TM
emPower solution with built-in Z-Wave
Wave capabilities.
L5
The module interfaces with the Simon XT and XTi panel boards, fits
into a special compartment inside the panel, and is powered by the
control panel and panel battery.

Intended Use
Use this product only for the purpose it was designed for;
refer to the data sheet and user documentation.
Power Up
Connect
onnect panel battery and AC power. When a GSM module is
connected to a powered control panel, the LEDs at the bottom of
the module will become active (see Table 1). It may take a few
moments after power up for the LEDs to become
ecome 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:
LED
Function
L1
Error LED. Flashes 1 to 8 times in an 8-second
interval to indicate
specific error. See Table 2 on page 2 for errors and common fixes.
L2
Panel Communication and Z-Wave
Wave status messages. Flashes every
time the module communicates with the panel and flashes in
patterns to indicate Z-Wave
Wave status.
L3
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.
GSM Communication. Flashes every time the GSM signal level is
checked and when packets are exchanged
exch
with Alarm.com.
L4
GSM Signal Level. Flashes 0 to 5 times to indicate signal strength, or
toggles on/off slowly when communicating with Alarm.com servers.
Plug the panel power transformer into the AC outlet.
L5
Z-Wave Error LED. See Table Table 3 on page 2 for error descriptions.
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.
4.
Table 1: LED functions
It is important to plug the battery in before plugging in the
transformer, otherwise the panel will issue
ssue a “System Low Battery”
message regardless of the battery voltage level.
Troubleshooting: LEDs
Status LEDs indicate network and module status. Figure 1 below
shows the location of the status
tatus LEDs on the GSM module.
LED Details
LED L1 (red)
L1 flashes when there is an error. The number of flashes indicates
the
he error number. If there are two or more errors at the same time,
the errors will flash one after the other. The LED will stay off for at
least four seconds between errors.

Number of Error and solution
flashes
Module cannot communicate with the panel. Perform a power
cycle on the panel. If the error persists, lift the module out of
the panel and re-insert it. If the error is still observed try a
different module. Finally, if that does not fix the problem try a
different panel.
The SIM card is missing. The SIM card holder can be found on
the module. Verify that the SIM card holder is closed securely
and that there is a SIM card in the holder.
The module is trying to register on the GSM network. If it
persists for more than a few minutes, the module is having
problems registering with the GSM network. Check L4 for
signal level. If signal level is lower than 2 “bars”, change the
panel’s location or use a remote antenna option. If the signal is
good, the module may be roaming on a GSM network that
does not partner with our GSM providers, or the SIM card was
not activated yet because the Alarm.com account was not
created correctly.
The module is registered on the GSM network but cannot
connect with Alarm.com. Contact Alarm.com Technical
Support.
Radio portion of the module is not working correctly. If this
persists for more than a few minutes the module may need to
be replaced. This error is extremely rare so verify that the
module is flashing 5 times.
This is an error only if it persists for more than a minute.
Otherwise, it’s just an indication that the module is fixing an
unusual condition regarding communication with the GSM
network.
The module is not compatible with this panel type. Please
insert a compatible module.
If it persists, the account may have been set up incorrectly.
Contact Alarm.com Technical Support. You will be asked to
check the serial number of the module.
LED L3 (yellow)
L3 flashes with every communication between the module and its
radio unit in Idle mode, and with every communication with
Alarm.com in Connected Mode. In PowerSave mode, this LED flashes
in unison with LED 2.
LED L4 (green)
L4 indicates the GSM signal level as a number of flashes (0 to 5 bars).
The number of bars may not correspond to the bars shown on your
cell phone. A level of 5 bars is obtained only in the strongest signal
conditions.
Signal level is updated every ten seconds if it fluctuates, or every 30
seconds if it is fairly stable.
LED L2 (yellow)
If L4 is not flashing it indicates one of the following states:
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 below for a description of various possibilities.
The module is in power save mode;
The module just powered up;
There is no GSM coverage in the area. Alarm.com recommends
a steady signal level of 2 or higher for proper operation of the
module.
In connected mode, the LED toggles on and off.

Device status or error
Description
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.
L5 indicates Z-Wave errors. See Table 3 above for more details.

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.
Simon XT/XTi GSM Module V4 Installation Instructions
Improving wireless signal strength
Guidelines for optimal wireless signal strength:
•
•
•
Install the module above ground level, as high up as possible
within the structure.
Install the module near or adjacent to an outside-facing wall of
the structure.
Do not install the module inside a metal structure or close to
large metal objects or ducts.
•
•
Make sure to follow the antenna positioning guidelines that are
included with the antenna. Certain antennas must be oriented
a specific way in order to receive signals.
Upgrade the antenna. If using the 1/4 wave antenna included
with the GSM module, upgrade to a remote cable antenna.
Contact Alarm.com technical support for antenna options.
