Simon XT/XTi/XTi-5 LTE/IP Module | Installation Guide
Simon XT/XTi/XTi-5 LTE/IP Module
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Introduction
The LTE/IP module for Simon XT, XTi, and XTi-5 enables wireless reporting of
all alarms and other system events from the Interlogix Simon XT, XTi, and
XTi-5 control panel on the 4G LTE wireless (cellular) network and broadband
connection (if available). 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 LTE/IP Module
also features integrated support for Alarm.com’s emPower™ solution with
built-in Z-Wave capabilities and for Alarm.com’s Image Sensor.
The module interfaces with the Simon XT, XTi, and XTi-5 panels, fits into a
special compartment inside the panel, and is powered by the control panel
and panel battery.
Contact Information
For additional information and support on Alarm.com products and services,
please visit www.alarm.com/dealer or contact Alarm.com technical support
at 1-866-834-0470.
Compatibility
The LTE/IP module is compatible with all Simon XT (version 1.3 and up), all
XTi, and all XTi-5 control panels.
Account Creation
Before installing an Alarm.com LTE/IP Module in a Simon XT, XTi, or XTi-5
system, a new customer account needs to be created with Alarm.com. We
recommend creating the account at least 24 hours in advance of installation
to ensure that the radio is activated prior to installation.
To activate an account go to www.alarm.com/dealer and login. Under the
“Customers” heading at the top left of the page click on “Create New
Customer”. You will need the following customer information to create the
account:
• Customer Address
• Customer Phone Number
• Customer E-mail
• Preferred login name for the customer
• Alarm.com Radio Serial Number
At the end of the account creation process you will be able to print a
Welcome Letter for the customer that has their login information and
temporary password for the Alarm.com website.
Installation
Installation consists of inserting the module into the panel, attaching the
antenna, and performing an LTE phone test at the panel.
Follow these guidelines during installation:
• Before affixing the panel to a wall, verify the LTE signal level at the
installation location. On the XT panel, press and hold the 5 key for 10
seconds to view the LTE signal level. On the XTi and XTi-5 panel, enter
‘Programming’ ‘Interactive Services’ ‘Modules Status’. With
either panel, module LED L4 blinks to indicate signal strength. (See
Tables 1-5 for LED details.) An installation location with a sustained
signal level of two or more bars is recommended.
• Do not exceed the panel total output power when using panel power
for the LTE/IP Module, hardwired sensors, and /or sirens. Refer to the
specific panel installation instructions for details.
• Only one LTE/IP Module can be used per Simon XT, XTi, or XTi-5 panel.
• The LTE/IP Module draws a maximum of 100 mA average during normal
operation. In PowerSave Mode, during or immediately following an AC
power failure, the module will draw only 5mA on average.
• Avoid mounting the panel in areas with excessive metal or electrical
wiring, such as furnace or utility rooms.
• Leave 12 to 18 in. of open space around the module antenna.
• Do not install the control panel and module in a basement or other
below-ground location. Doing so will negatively impact LTE signal
strength.
Tools and supplies needed
You will need the following tools and supplies:
• Small flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers
• Screws (included)
• Antenna (included)
Module Insertion and Antenna Installation
Before installing the module, disconnect the battery and AC power from the
panel.
1) Open the panel by pressing the two tabs (Fig. 1) on the top of the XT or by
lifting the tabs on the XTi and XTi-5 panel.
Figure 1: Top View of Simon XT, XTi, and XTi-5 Panels
2) The module compartment can be found behind the front panel that
swings down, to the left of the battery compartment as seen in Fig. 2
below.
Figure 2: Module Compartment for Simon XT, XTi, and XTi-5 Panels
3) Push antenna end into open module connector to snap the antenna onto
the module. The module must be seated correctly beneath the two small,

Figure 3: Module Plastic Corner Tabs
4) Insert the module by angling the end of the module where the antennas
are attached downwards, making sure that the edge of the module sits
below the plastic tabs (see Fig. 3). Once the module is seated evenly,
carefully push the bottom of the module into the 8-pin connector beneath
it.
5) Thread the primary antenna’s wire through the channel in the bottom of
the panel. This antenna can then be inserted into the wall behind the
panel. The antenna should be placed at least 3 feet away from the panel,
and in order to obtain optimal reception the antenna should be affixed as
high up as possible.
6) The secondary antenna (pre-attached to the module) should be routed
and placed as shown in Fig. 4.
Figure 4: LTE Antenna Routing and Placement
Power Up
Reconnect panel battery and AC power. When an LTE/IP 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.
LTE Phone Test (Module Registration)
To initiate module communication with Alarm.com and the LTE network the
first time, perform a “LTE phone test”.
To perform a Phone Test on a Simon XT:
1) Scroll Down through the control panel menu until it displays “System
Tests” and Press “OK”.
2) Enter the installer code (default 4-3-2-1), then “OK”.
3) Scroll down until the panel displays “Comm Test” and “OK”. The panel will
display “LTE Comm Test in progress” to indicate the test has been
initiated.
Quick Phone Test:
1) On the main screen with the panel disarmed, hold down the ‘3’ key for 5
seconds.
2) The panel will display “LTE Comm Test in progress” to indicate the test has
been imitated.
To perform a Phone Test on a Simon XTi and XTi-5:
1) Press the Status & Settings icon on the lower right of the home screen.
2) Scroll Down and press “Programming”.
3) Enter the installer code (default 4-3-2-1), then “OK”.
4) Press “System Tests”.
5) Press “Comm Test”. The panel will display “LTE Comm Test in progress” to
indicate the test has been initiated.
The Simon XT, XTi, and XTi-5 panel will let you know when the LTE Phone
Test has completed by displaying “LTE Test signal sent OK” on the panel
screen. This indicates that Alarm.com has received and acknowledged the
signal. This does not guarantee that the signal went through to a central
station; it confirms that the Alarm.com Operations Center received the
signal. The central station should be contacted directly to verify that the
signal was received on the correct account and that the Central Station
routing settings have been set up correctly. The signal may not go through
to the central station if (a) the Central Station Account settings were entered
incorrectly on the Alarm.com Dealer Site or (b) if Alarm.com was unable to
send the signal successfully to the Central Station receivers. In these cases
the panel will show a “Fail to Communicate” message.
Required Settings for LTE/IP module
Some panel settings are changed automatically when the LTE/IP module is
connected to the control panel. These settings should not be altered. They
are:
Sensor/Zone 40: Upon initial module power up, the panel recognizes and
learns the LTE/IP module as sensor/zone 40 and assigns “LTE Module” as the
sensor/zone name. Any device previously residing in panel memory as
sensor/zone 40 is automatically deleted and must be learned into panel
memory using any available sensor/zone number between 01 and 39.
Clock: The LTE/IP module sets the panel clock when it connects to Alarm.com
and then updates it every 18 hours. It is important to select the correct panel
time zone on the Alarm.com website, or the panel time will not be accurate.
If a system is powered up before the customer account has been created,
the time zone will default to Eastern Time.

alarm supervision between panel and smoke detectors) for XT version 1.6
and up, XTi version 1.7 and up, and XTi-5 is not compatible with the
Alarm.com LTE/IP module. This setting will be automatically disabled when
the module connects and should not be enabled at the panel. The default
supervision with the Smoke Supervision setting disabled is 1 hour.
Troubleshooting: Module Status Information
Module status information for verifying and troubleshooting module
connection status or errors can be found through the Interactive Services
menus on the XT, XTi, and XTi-5 panels. On Simon XT 1.3 & up, go to the
‘System Test’ → ‘Interactive Services’ → ‘LTE Module Status’ menu. On the
XTi and XTi-5, this information can be accessed through ‘Programming’ →
‘Interactive Services’ → ‘Module Status’.

PowerSave Mode. The module just powered up, AC power is down, or AC
power was recently restored and the battery is recharging. The module is
fully functional and will go into Connected Mode as soon as a signal needs to
be sent. Press and hold the 5 Key for 10 seconds to switch the module into
Idle Mode and update the signal level reading. The system will go into Idle
Mode every 2 hours to check for any incoming messages.
Connected Mode. The module is currently talking to Alarm.com. The
module stays in Connected Mode for at least four minutes after reporting
an event to Alarm.com, unless the 5 Key is pressed and held for 10 seconds,
which will cause the module to go back to Idle Mode.
Sleep Mode. The panel is not connected to AC power, or there is an AC
power failure, and the battery level is low. The module will connect to
Alarm.com to send a signal, but will otherwise draw almost no power.
Note: If the LTE/IP module is powered down for a short period of time,
buffered messages from Alarm.com may be received when module power is
restored.
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
LTE/IP module, upgrade to a remote cable antenna. Contact Alarm.com
technical support for antenna options.
As you make changes to the module location or antenna to improve signal
strength, request updated signal readings to verify changes. To request an
updated reading, press and hold the “5” key for 10 seconds on the XT or
press the ‘Refresh’ button in the “Module Status” menu on the XTi or XTi-5.

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 in to an outlet on a circuit different from 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.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference; (2)
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
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,
