Simon XTi Installation Manual 1

Product overview

This security system can be used as a fire warning system, an intrusion alarm

system, an emergency notification system, or any combination of the three. The

system has three types of components:

• Self-contained control panel

• Devices that report to the panel

• Devices that respond to commands from the panel

Figure 1: Simon XTi system

The self-contained panel provides the main processing unit for all system

functions. It receives and responds to signals from wireless sensors and wireless

touchpads throughout the premises. For monitored systems, the panel can be

connected to the premises phone line for central monitoring station reporting.

You can program the panel onsite from the keypad or remotely using Enterprise

Downloader software. See “Programming” on page 36 for complete onsite

programming instructions.

2 Simon XTi Installation Manual

System components

The system can monitor up to 40 sensors and may use any of the devices listed

in Table 1 below.

Table 1: Supported devices

Device

Description

Max Life Door/window sensor

(60-362N-10-319.5)

For intrusion protection, install door/window sensors on all

ground-floor doors and windows. At a minimum, install them in the

following locations:

• All easily accessible exterior doors and windows.

• Interior doors leading into the garage.

• Doors to areas containing valuables.

Indoor motion sensor

(60-639 & 60-807-95)

Indoor motion sensors are ideal whenever it is not practical to

install door/window sensors on every opening. Identify areas

where an intruder is likely to walk through. Large areas in an open

floor plan, downstairs family rooms, and hallways are typical

locations for indoor motion sensors. For installations with pets,

use the SAW Pet Immune PIR (60-807-95).

Smoke sensor

(TX-6010-01-1)

Smoke sensors provide fire protection by causing an alarm to

sound throughout the house. You can add smoke sensors near

sleeping areas and on every floor of the house. Avoid areas that

could have some smoke or exhaust such as attics, kitchens,

above fireplaces, dusty locations, garages, and areas with

temperature extremes. In these areas, you may want to install

rate-of-rise sensors to detect extreme temperature changes. See

the instructions packaged with the smoke sensor for complete

placement information.

Glassbreak sensor (60-873-

95)

Glassbreak sensors respond to shock waves of breaking glass.

These sensors are designed to mount in the corner of windows or

doors, either on the frame or on the glass itself. See the

instructions packaged with the glassbreak sensor for complete

placement information.

Carbon monoxide (CO) alarm

(TX-6310-01-1/600-6520-95)

The learn mode CO alarm alerts you to hazardous levels of

carbon monoxide gas. If dangerous concentrations of gas are

present, the red indicator light comes on, the internal siren goes

off, and an alarm is transmitted to the panel. The panel sounds its

own alarm and reports to the central station.

4-Button Key fob

(600-1064-95R)

The key fob (keychain touchpad) lets you turn the system on and

off from right outside the home or activate a panic alarm if there is

an emergency. If you have the appropriate light control modules,

you can use key fobs to turn all system controlled lights on and

off.

Simon XT Talking Touchpad

(60-924-3-XT)

The wall-mounted, two-way, talking touchpad combines a

conventional learn mode touchpad with an RF receiver, speech

chip, and voice amplification circuit.

Simon XTi Installation Manual 3

Device

Description

Simon XT talking touch

screen

(60-924-RF-TS, 60-924-3-

XT-2WTTS and 60-924-RF-

TS-N)

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), disarm the system,

activate a panic alarm to call the central monitoring station in an

emergency, check system status, and turn system controlled

lights on or off, all while providing voice feedback. The touch

screen also provides trouble beeps, entry/exit beeps, and alarm

sounds (Fire, Panic, Police).

Caution: Do not use outdoor motion sensors for intrusion protection.

4 Simon XTi Installation Manual

Planning the installation

This section describes system capabilities to help you get familiar with your

system. The planning sheets contain tables that let you record the hardware and

programming configuration of your system. Complete all of the information ahead

of time to help prepare for system installation. See “Sensor names” on page 69

for sensor name segments listed alphabetically and by index number.

Locate the panel where alarm sounds can be heard and where the panel will be

easily accessible for operation. Do not install the panel near a window or door

where it can be reached easily by an intruder.

Planning sensor types and locations

The first step to an easy and successful installation is to decide what areas or

items to protect, which lights to operate, and the best location for the panel,

touchpad, sensors, and sirens. Metal objects, mirrors, and metallic wallpaper can

block signals sent by the wireless sensors. Make sure there are no metal objects

in the way when installing the system.

Use Table 3 below and Table 4 on page 5 to determine the appropriate sensor

type for the sensors you will be adding, and Table 5 on page 7 to document the

planned sensor information. You will need to understand the application for each

sensor.

Cross-zoning

Cross zoning (two-trip) refers to two different group 18 sensors that must be

tripped within two minutes of each other to report an alarm to the central station.

Figure 2 below shows the path of a person walking from the kitchen to the living

room. When the person is detected walking through the kitchen, the motion

sensor in the kitchen is tripped, sounding a local alarm. If motion is detected by

the living room motion sensor within two minutes, an alarm report will be sent to

the central station.

Figure 2: Cross-zone diagram

Note: We do not recommend cross zoning for exit/entry zones. Each zone can

individually protect the intended area.

Mounting

Figure 3: XTi chassis and trim ring

To mount the panel on a wall:

1. Lay the panel flat on a table.

2. Remove trim ring (B in Figure 3 above) from panel by lifting at notch (C in

Figure 3 above).

3. Separate the panel chassis from the mounting plate by lifting up on the tabs

(A in Figure 3 above) and swinging the chassis open.

4. Choose a panel location.

5. Run all necessary power, phone, siren, and hardwired contact wires to the

desired panel location.

Note: When choosing the AC outlet location for the AC power transformer,

make sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch or that it is not part of a

ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI).

6. Hold the mounting plate against the wall and mark the mounting hole

locations (Figure 4 on page 15) with a pencil.

Note: Mark both mounting holes in the middle of the mounting slot. This will

allow better adjustment of the panel before securing it to the wall.

Simon XTi Installation Manual 15

Figure 4: Mounting holes

7. Secure the mounting screws (provided) to the locations on the wall marked in

step 6. Do not tighten the screws. Leave enough clearance to mount the

mounting plate.

Note: Use wall anchors if no studs are present.

8. Mount the mounting plate to the wall. Insert the top mounting hole first, then

the bottom hole. Adjust the fit to make sure the mounting plate is level. Hold

the mounting plate in place and tighten the screws.

9. Hang the panel chassis on the mounting plate at the plastic hinges, swing the

chassis up to the mounting plate and engage at the tabs (A in Figure 3 on

page 14).

10. Insert the two supplied screws through the tabs (A in Figure 3 on page 14) to

secure the mounting plate to the panel chassis. Tighten the screws.

11. Reattach the trim ring.

Connecting hardwired devices

The panel has five screw terminals, two battery terminals, and two telephone

connections. The screw terminals connect the AC power, sirens, and/or

hardwired detectors.

16 Simon XTi Installation Manual

Figure 5: Wiring terminals

Program sensors and devices before you install them. Follow the instructions in

“Sensors” on page 43 to add the sensors to panel memory.

The HW1 I/O terminal is dual purpose and can be used for either siren or

hardwired contact connections. The HW2 in terminal is an input only.

Interior sirens

From the factory, the HW1 I/O input is set up for interior siren operation (status

and alarm sounds). The HW1&2 DC out terminal provides the positive (+)

voltage.

Note: The total current available from the HW1&2 DC out terminal is 250 mA at

up to 120ºF (49ºC). A 24-hour battery standby will be met with a maximum load

of 250 mA.

With hardwired siren supervision turned on, sirens connected to HW1 I/O are

supervised and require a 4.7-kohm resistor in the circuit. If this terminal is not

used, turn hardwired siren supervision off.

Hardwired interior siren

Interior sirens must always be wired with a resistor in the circuit. For circuit

supervision, which allows the panel to detect if the siren wire is cut (open), the

hardwired siren supervision option must be turned on.

Note: Do not install the resistor at the panel terminals. This does not provide

supervision of the wire.

Connect the hardwired interior siren (13-374) to the panel using a 4.7 kohm

resistor (included with the siren) as shown in Figure 6 on page 17. The resistor

must be connected across the siren wires as close to the siren as possible.

Simon XTi Installation Manual 17

Figure 6: Hardwired interior siren with supervision

Exterior sirens

For an exterior siren, reprogram HW1 to Exterior Siren on Option 6. See Wiring

diagram.

Hardwired contacts

To set up HW1 I/O and/or HW2 for hardwired contacts, make the required

connections described below, and then proceed to “Programming” on page 36 to

add (learn) them into panel memory.

You can connect hardwired reed switches (normally closed loop only) to HW1 I/O

(if not being used for a hardwired siren) and/or HW2 in.

Note: Connect only normally closed (NC) reed switches to HW1 I/O and/or HW2

in. Other types of hardwired detectors should not be used.

The total resistance of the wired loop must not exceed 3 ohms. This allows you

to use up to 200 ft. (61 m) of two-conductor, 22-gauge stranded wire.

Connect hardwired reed switches to the panel using a 47-kohm resistor (not a

4.7-kohm resistor) as shown in Figure 7 on page 18. The resistor must be

connected at the last switch in the circuit.

18 Simon XTi Installation Manual

Figure 7: Normally closed hardwired reed switches

Note: Do not install the resistor at the panel terminals. This does not provide

supervision of the wire.

Wiring a phone line to the panel

You can connect a phone line to the panel for systems monitored by a central

monitoring station or systems that notify users by a voice event notification.

DSL (digital subscriber line) allows the use of multiple devices on a single phone

line simultaneously. For DSL environments, connect the panel line-in jack to an

available phone jack on the premises. You may also need an inline filter to

ensure panel reporting is successful.

Note: Avoid connecting the panel to a standard phone (voice) line as other

devices on the line can prevent reports from going through.

Figure 8: Phone connectors

Simon XTi Installation Manual 19

Full line seizure

Full line seizure allows the panel to take over (seize) the phone line, even if

another device on the line is in use. This method requires that the panel be wired

before all other phones, answering machines, computers, or other devices on the

phone line.

Use the RJ31X (CA-38A) jack when wiring for full line seizure. You can then

quickly and easily disconnect the panel from the phone line in case the panel

disables the phone line due to a malfunction.

To wire full line seizure with an RJ31X:

1. Run a four-conductor cable from the premises Telco block to the RJ31X (see

Figure 9 below).

2. Connect the four-conductor cable wire to the RJ31X.

3. Disconnect the green and red premises phone jack wires from the Telco block

and splice them to the four-conductor cable black and white (or yellow) wires.

Use weatherproof wire connectors for these splices.

4. Connect the four-conductor cable green and red wires to the Telco block TIP

(+) and red to RING (-) posts.

5. Connect the phone cord included with the panel to the RJ31X and the panel

LINE jack.

Full line seizure wiring with one premises phone

If a single phone is all that exists on the premises, full line seizure can be

accomplished without an RJ31X.

1. Disconnect the phone from the premises phone jack and plug it into the panel

PHONE jack. This jack is disconnected automatically whenever the panel

reports.

2. Connect the included phone cord to the panel LINE jack and the premises

phone jack.

Note: If customers add phones or other phone devices to another phone jack, full

line seizure no longer exists. Inform them to contact you if they want to add a

phone or other device so that you can rewire for full line seizure by adding an

RJ31X.

Wiring the power transformer

Connect the power transformer to the two 9 VAC in terminals on the panel.

Note: System can only be powered up using AC power, not battery power. The

red battery icon may appear when system first powers up and will disappear after

some time.

Figure 10: Transformer connections

Do not plug in the transformer at this time. When applying power to the panel

connect the battery first, and then plug in the AC power transformer. This

sequence prevents a battery fault condition.

Note: Maximum battery charge current is 120 mA. It may take up to 36 hours for

a new battery to fully change.

Simon XTi Installation Manual 21

To remove and install the backup battery (6 VDC, 2.1 Ah):

Figure 11: Battery installation

Note: It is recommended that the backup battery be replaced every 3-5 years.

1. Remove AC power from the panel.

2. Disconnect the existing battery (A in Figure 11 above) from the battery

connector (B in Figure 11 above).

3. Remove the existing battery by reaching under the battery, next to the plastic

latch (D in Figure 11 above), with a finger and pulling up.

Note: Do not try to push the plastic latch back to remove the battery.

4. Insert the new battery into the battery compartment and snap into place.

5. Plug the battery connector into the panel.

Caution: Do not connect the battery until you are ready to power up the panel.

Resetting memory to factory defaults

If you need to reset memory to factory defaults, follow the steps below.

To reset the panel to factory defaults:

1. Remove the trim ring.

2. Open the panel cover.

3. Unplug the transformer and disconnect the battery.

8. Replace the trim ring.

Applying AC power

The panel will not power up on battery power only. AC power is required to

power up the panel.

Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch or that it is not part of a ground

fault circuit interrupt (GFCI).

Note: For Canadian installations, plug the transformer into the wall outlet.

1. Remove the center screw from the outlet cover plate and hold the cover plate

in place.

WARNING: Use extreme caution when securing the transformer to a metal outlet

cover. You could receive a serious shock if a metal outlet cover drops down onto

the prongs of the plug.

2. Plug the transformer into the lower receptacle of the outlet so that the hole in

the transformer tab lines up with the outlet cover screw hole.

3. Insert the cover plate screw through the transformer tab and the outlet cover

plate. Tighten the screw.

Note: Upon initial installation, the battery may not be fully charged for as long

as 36 hours. A low battery icon will be present and trouble beeps will sound

until the battery is sufficiently charged. After the initial charge, should the

panel lose AC Power and experience a low battery condition, the icon will

appear and trouble beeps will sound unless silenced. You can silence trouble

beeps by:

• Arming or disarming the system.

or

• Pressing the STATUS & SETTINGS icon and pressing LISTEN next to

Panel Status.

This will disable the sounder for 4 hours but the trouble indication will remain

until the battery is recharged.

On

Determines whether you can perform a manual communication test to

verify communication to a central station/voice dial (on), or not (off). If

you have all four phone numbers programmed, it should send a test

report to all four before showing that the test is okay.

FTC

On

Determines whether the panel and interior sirens sound trouble beeps

if it is unable to successfully send a report to a central station (on), or

not (off).

DTMF dial

On

Determines whether the panel uses DTMF (on) or pulse (off) for

dialing programmed phone numbers.

300 bps

Determines whether the baud rate used by the panel for central

station communication is 300 bps (on), or 110 bps (off).

Ring hang ring

RHR or

10

Rings

Determines when the panel answers a remote phone access or

Enterprise call. Depending on whether an answering machine exists

at the panel location, offsite access to the panel can be done with a

series of phone calls or just one. For offsite access where an

answering machine does not exist, the user or Enterprise operator

simply calls the panel location once and listens for 10 rings. The panel

should answer after the tenth ring.

For offsite access where an answering machine exists, the user or

Enterprise operator must call the panel location, and then let the

phone ring once and hang up. Wait at least 10 seconds but not more

than 40, and then call the panel location again. The panel should

answer on the first ring.

Ring/hang/ring setting number and sequence of rings after which the

panel answers:

• RHR or 10 Rings = Ring/hang/ring or ten rings

• RHR(2) or 10 Rings = Ring/hang/ring/hang/ring or ten rings

• RHR(3) or 10 Rings = Ring/hang/ring/hang/ring/hang/ring or ten

rings

• 10 Rings = Ten rings

• RHR = Ring/hang/ring

• RHR(2) = Ring/hang/ring/hang/ring

• RHR(3) = Ring/hang/ring/hang/ring/hang/ring

• Off = Disabled, no remote (offsite) access

Dial delay

30

seconds

Determines whether the panel delays dialing programmed phone

numbers before sending report (on).

If opening (disarming) reports is on, the panel does not delay dialing if

the system is disarmed before the delay time expires. The panel dials

immediately for both the alarm and opening report.

Regardless of this option setting, the panel always dials immediately

for fire alarms, AC power failure, and low battery reports.

Mounting Recommendations:

• Where possible, install sensors within 100 feet (30 m) of the receiver. While a

transmitter and receiver combination may have an open-air range of 500 feet

(152 m) or more, the environment at the installation site may have a

significant effect on operational range. Changing a sensor or receiver location

can improve wireless communication.

• Avoid mounting sensors or receivers in areas where they will be exposed to

moisture or where the operating temperature range will exceed the specified

range (10 to 120 °F).

• Avoid mounting the sensor or receiver in areas with a large quantity of metal

or electrical wiring. For example: within 1 meter of AC distribution panel (fuse

box), HVAC duct work.

• Avoid mounting the sensor or receiver directly on metal.

• The Simon XTi system should not be mounted within 3 meters of any other

RF equipment (RF music system transmitter, wireless router/modem, etc.).

Note: Refer to specific sensor installation instructions for complete operation and

testing details.

Sensor association with the graphical interface icons

Figure 16: At a glance icons

The at-a-glance icons (see Figure 16 above) Door, Window, Motions, and

Property, found on the Simon XTi (and remotely connected Talking Two-Way

Touch Screens) are associated with sensors, given a set of rules.

• The default state for a disassociated at-a-glance icon is N/A.

• Any learned-in sensor (regardless of type or group) with a sensor name that

includes the word “window” or “door” from the text library will automatically

associate respectively with the at-a-glance Doors and Window icons.

Example, a door-window sensor learned in, and physically attached to a door,

with Front Door as its name, group 10 as its type will be associated with the

Doors icon on the graphical interface. In contrast, a door-window sensor

learned in, and physically attached to a door, with Utility Room as its name,

group 10 as its type will NOT be associated with the Doors icon. It would be

associated with the property icon on the graphical interface.

• Any learned-in sensor (regardless of type or name) with a group type of 17,

18, 20, or 28, will associate with the at-a-glance Motions icon. Depending on

the location of the screen, a typical use for this feature would be to identify

motion before entering the building (if placed in a garage), or alerting to

motion downstairs from the master bedroom, if the system wasn't armed. The

Motion icon will clear after 10 minutes of inactivity.

• Any sensor that is not associated with the Doors, Window, or Motions icons

based on the preceding rules is automatically associated to a Property icon.

• The Property Icon supports two different sensor group types restoral, and

non-restoral. Restoral based sensors provide clear indication of event start

and stop. An example is a flood sensor. The flood sensor will associate with

the Property icon and continue to report as “Changed" when water is detected

and remains detected by the sensor. When the water condition clears, the

Simon XTi Installation Manual 47

Property icon Open will clear. Non-restoral based sensors, provide indication

of event start, but not stop. An example is tilt switch/garage door sensor that

determines if something that it is attached to the sensor, like a boat trailer has

moved. The tilt sensor will associate with the Property icon and will report as

"Changed" when movement is detected the first time. Upon user

acknowledgement of the event by pressing the Property icon, the Changed

state is returned to No Change.

Common associations of icons and sensors

• Exteriors motions for use in driveways for non-reporting, informational

purposes can be associated with the Property icon using group types 40 or

43.

• Water sensors learned group 29 will alarm immediately upon activation; if

informational detection is desired without reporting, use group 40.

• Freeze sensors learned group 38 will alarm immediately upon activation; if

informational detection is desired without reporting, use group 40.

• Tilt sensors can be used as a means to provide asset monitoring associated

with the Property icons with the use of group type 43.

Sensor Test Failure

If sirens do not beep when a sensor is tripped, use an RF Sniffer (60-401) test

tool to verify that the sensor is transmitting. Constant beeps from the RF Sniffer

indicate a faulty sensor. Replace the sensor.

If possible, locate sensors within 100 ft. (30 m) of the panel. While a sensor may

have a range of 500 ft. (152 m) or more out in the open, the environment at the

installation site can have a significant effect on transmitter range. A change in

sensor location may help overcome adverse wireless conditions and can

potentially be accomplished by the following:

• Reposition the sensor

• Relocate the sensor

• If necessary, replace the sensor

To reposition a sensor:

1. Rotate the sensor and test for improved sensor communications at 90 and

180 degrees from original position.

2. If poor communication persists, relocate the sensor.

To relocate a sensor:

1. Test the sensor a few inches from the original position.

2. Increase the distance from the original position and retest until an acceptable

location is found.

3. Mount the sensor in the new location.

4. If no location is acceptable, replace the sensor.

To replace a sensor:

1. Test a known good sensor at the same location.

Simon XTi Installation Manual 63

2. If the transmission beeps remain below the minimum level, avoid mounting a

sensor at that location.

3. If the known good sensor functions, contact UTC Fire & Security for repair or

replacement of the problem sensor.

Sensor Testing Notes:

• Conduct sensor test in all possible environmental conditions (For example:

interior doors open and closed, HVAC system on and off, wireless music

system turned on and off).

• Conduct sensor test whenever changes are made to the installation

environment that may impact RF performance (For example: mirrors installed,

metal backed wallpaper, addition of other RF equipment).

• Sensor testing should be done before and after permanent mounting.

Comm Testing

If Comm Test is not finished it will continue to run even if you exit program mode.

Note: Complete panel programming before performing comm testing.

To perform a comm test:

1. Enter the Status & Settings menu.

2. Scroll until System Tests is listed, Press Enter.

3. Enter the dealer, installer or master code and press OK.

4. Press Comm Test.

The panel displays if the comm test was successful or not.

Central station communication

After performing sensor tests, check that the system is reporting alarms

successfully to the central station.

To verify alarm reporting:

Note: The communication with the central station test must be done while NOT in

programming mode.

1. Call the central station and tell the operator that you will be testing the

system.

2. Arm the system.

3. Test an emergency panic icon and trip at least one sensor of each type (fire,

intrusion, etc.) to verify that the appropriate alarms are working correctly.

There is a 30 second delay.

4. When you finish testing the system, call the central station to verify that the

alarms were received.
