Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when adding this touch screen to
the Simon XT, XTi, or XTi-5 system:
• Power up and learn the touch screen into the panel and
verify its operation before mounting it to its permanent wall
or desktop location.
• The touch screen should be the last sensor programmed
(learned) into the panel. Doing this allows the panel’s
programming configuration to be properly transferred to
the touch screen.
• Program (learn) the touch screen into the panel as a
sensor Using group types 00, 01, 04, 05, 06, or 07.
• The touch screen will work best if mounted greater than
3 ft. (approximately 1 m) from the Simon panel.
• Avoid mounting the touch screen directly behind the
Simon XT, XTi, or XTi-5 panel on the opposite side of the
wall.
• Always do a sensor test before attaching the touch screen
to the wall.
Preparation
To begin
1. Separate the touch screen and the mounting base from
the preassembled desktop stand. Remove the desktop
stand by holding the touch screen unit with one hand and
prying the desktop stand at the removal tab marking until it
separates (Figure 1) with the other. Put the desktop stand
aside temporarily.

memory and restore to factory default, simply relearn the touch
screen into the panel again. The learn in process begins by
clearing the touch screen memory. To keep memory clear,
learn the touch screen into a Simon XT, XTi, or XTi-5 panel
that has no online service supported.
Troubleshooting
• If your touch screen fails to power up, check the wiring to
ensure the connections are connect. Ensure the wires are
not crossed from Positive to Negative or vice versa.
• If your touch screen flickers, restarts or has intermittent
issues or does not seem to operate consistently, ensure
the power polarity from the transformer to the Positive and
Negative leads on the touch screen is correct. Also do not
use wire for power other than the cable supplied. Longer
cable may cause power delivery issues to the touch
screen.
• If your touch screen fails to enroll, go to the Simon panel,
delete that touch screen from the panel, and then repeat
the enroll procedure.
• If the touch screen chime does not announce the zone
name completely, it is likely due to the zone information
not being sent to the touch screen during installation. To

correct the problem, delete the touch screen and relearn
the touch screen again.
• Red text on the Door Lock page indicates an open door or
a door that is not monitored.
• If the sensors and the At-a-Glance icons state on the main
screen are not synchronized or operating as expected to
provide building status, use the following as a guideline
when naming sensors in the Simon panel:
• Sensor names must have the word “window” or “door”
from the text library to interact with the touch screen Doors
and Windows icons on the Main screen.
• The Motion icon is controlled by sensors that are
programmed into the following groups: 15, 17, 18, 20, 28,
and 32.
• The Property icon is controlled by the following sensors:
- All sensors learned into Group 43.
- Sensors that are not named “window” or “door”.
- Sensors not learned into the Motion groups.
- Sensors that are named keyfob or keychain.
