Simon XTInstallation ManualivFCC compliance 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 interfer-ence when the equipment is operated in a residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 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 affected equipment and the panel receiver to separate outlets, on different branch circuits.• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.FCC Part 15 registration number: B4Z-910C-SIMON. Part 68. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by ACTA. A label on this equipment contains a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. You must provide this number to the telephone company upon request. FCC Part 68 registration number: US:B4ZAL02B55910. The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and mod-ular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See the installation instructions for details.The REN is used to determine the maximum number of devices that may be connected to your telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most cases, the sum of all device RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact your local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the identifier with the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point. (For example, 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.Alarm dialing equipment must be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in an emergency situation. It must be able to do this even if other equipment (telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) already has the telephone line in use. To do so, alarm dialing equipment must be connected to a properly installed RJ31X jack that is electrically in series and ahead of all other equipment attached to the same tele-phone line. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, consult your local telephone company or a qualified installer about installing an RJ31X jack and alarm dialing equipment for you.If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily discon-nect your service. The telephone company may notify you in advance, but when advance notice isn’t prac-tical, they will notify you as soon as possible and advise you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. The telephone company may make changes in their facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If they do, they will notify you in advance so you can make the modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for information.If you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact the company that installed the equipment for service and repair information. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may ask you to disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

Simon XTInstallation Manual2Product overviewThis 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 (Figure 1) has three types of components: • Self-contained control panel• Devices that report to the panel• Devices that respond to commands from the panelNote: The keyfob and X10 modules have not been investigated by UL.Figure 1. Simon XT systemNote: The universal, lamp, and appliance modules require a special transformer. 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 33 for complete onsite programming instructions.

Chapter 1Introduction3System componentsThe system can monitor up to 40 sensors and may use any of the devices listed in Table 1.Table 1. Supported devicesDevice DescriptionDoor/window sensor (60-670)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 such as cabinets and closets.Indoor motion sensor (60-639)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).Outdoor motion sensor (60-639)Use outdoor motion sensors to detect motion in a protected outdoor area. Detected motion in this protected area can sound chimes or turn on outside lights.X10 module aWhen the panel is powered using the line carrier power transformer, the system can work with any of the following modules:• X10 lamp module (13-403)• X10 appliance module (13-402)• X10 power horn/remote siren module (13-398)Freeze sensor (60-742) aFreeze sensors detect low temperature conditions which may indicate a furnace failure. The sensor contains a bimetallic thermal switch connected to the built-in transmitter. The sensor transmits an alarm signal to the panel when the surrounding temperature drops to about 41°F (5°C). When the temperature rises to 50°F (10°C), the sensor transmits a restore signal.Water sensor (60-744) a Water sensors detect a water leak/rising water. The detector is connected to the sensor by an 8-foot (2.4-meter) cable. Water that reaches both detector contact points activates the sensor, causing it to transmit an alarm signal.Smoke sensor (60-848-95)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. Emergency planning on page 16 and the instructions packaged with the smoke sensor for complete placement information.Carbon monoxide (CO) alarm (60-652-95) aThe Learn Mode™ CO alarm alerts users 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.Keyfob (60-659) a The keyfob (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 X10 lamp modules, you can use keyfobs to turn all system controlled lights on and off.ELM (encrypted learn mode) keyfob (60-832) aThe ELM (encrypted learn mode™) 2-button keyfob is an alkaline battery-powered, wireless touchpad that allows users to arm and disarm their system, and activate a police or auxiliary panic alarm. Random encrypted signal transmissions provide high security to help prevent signal copying.
Simon XTInstallation Manual4Standard panelTable 2 describes the basic panel (out-of-box) hardware capabilities.Inspect the package and contents for visible damage. If any components are damaged or missing, do not use the unit; contact the supplier immediately. If you need to return the unit, you must ship it in the original box. nRemote handheld touchpad (60-671)The remote handheld touchpad lets you turn the system on and off while in the home, turn system controlled lights on and off (all or individual lights), or activate a panic alarm if there is a nonmedical emergency.Water-resistant personal help button (60-906-95) aThe water-resistant personal help button is a wireless device used for activating police, medical or auxiliary alarms through your system. When the help button is pressed, the light mounted under the cover will blink and an alarm signal is transmitted.a. Devices noted have not been investigated for use in UL installations.CAUTION: Do not use outdoor motion sensors for intrusion protection.Table 2.

Simon XTInstallation Manual6Planning the installationThis 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. Refer to Sensor names on page 72 for sensor name segments listed alphabetically and by index number.Control panel locationLocate 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 locationsThe first step to an easy and successful installation is to decide what areas or items to protect, which lights or appliances 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, Recommended sensor groups on page 7 and Table 4, Sensor group characteristics on page 7 to determine the appropriate sensor type for the sensors you will be adding. Use Table 5, Sensor assignments/locations on page 9 to document the planned sensor information. You will need to understand the application for each sensor. For example, keyfobs are typically programmed as sensor group 01 (portable panic) and used to send an intrusion alarm to a central monitoring station. This sensor type is instant intrusion, it does not require restoral or supervisory communication with the panel and it is active in four arming levels: 1. Disarm.2. Arm doors and windows.3. Arm motion sensors.4. Arm doors/windows and motion sensors.

Simon XTInstallation Manual10Cross-zoningCross-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 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.

Chapter 3Installing the system23Mounting the panelTo mount the panel on a wall, do the following: 1. Choose a panel location. 2. 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).3. Hold the panel against the wall and mark the mounting hole locations with a pencil. 4. Mount the back piece to the wall through the two horizontally centered mounting holes near the top and bottom using the supplied mounting hardware. Use wall anchors if no studs are present (Figure 4).Figure 4. Panel mounting hole locations5. Connect the chassis assembly to the mounted back piece and let it hang down. This makes the terminal strip accessible for wiring various hardwired components to the panel. 6. Feed wires through openings in the back piece to be ready to attach them to the screw terminals or the phone connectors. 7. Install all screws and tighten gently. Mounting holeMounting holeBack piece
Simon XTInstallation Manual24Connecting hardwired devicesThe panel has seven screw terminals and two telephone connections (Figure 5). The screw terminals connect AC power, sirens, and/or hardwired detectors. Program sensors and devices before you install them. Follow the instructions in to add the sensors to panel memory. Figure 5. Simon XT terminal connectionsHW1 I/O, HW2 in, and HW1&2 DC out terminalsThe 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 sirensFrom the factory, the HW1 I/O input is set up for interior siren operation (status and alarm sounds). HW1&2 DC out provides the positive (+) voltage.Note: The total current available from the HW1&2 DC out terminal is 250 mA at up to 120°F (49°C). A 24-hour battery standby for UL Requirements 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. 9 VAC inBattery – negBattery compartmentBattery + posHW1&2 DC outHW2 inHW1 I/O RJ11 connector (PHONE)RJ45 connector (LINE) Tamper switch
Chapter 3Installing the system25LD105 hardwired interior sirenInterior 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), Hardwired Siren Supervision must be turned on. (See on page 33).Note: Do not install the resistor at the panel terminals. This does not provide supervision of the wire.Connect the LD105 hardwired interior siren (13-374) to the panel using a 4.7 kohm resistor (included with the siren) as shown in Figure 6. The resistor must be connected across the siren wires as close to the siren as possible.Figure 6. Hardwired interior siren with supervisionHardwired contactsTo set up HW1 I/O and/or HW2 in for hardwired contacts, make the required connections as described under below, then proceed to the Programming on page 33 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 wire 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.

Chapter 3Installing the system27Wiring a phone line to the panelYou 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 might also need an inline filter to ensure panel reporting is successful. Note: Avoid connecting the panel to a standard phone (voice) line in this manner. Other devices in use at the same time the panel is using the line can prevent reports from going through.Full line seizureFull 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. You may need to verify line seizure for UL installations.Use the RJ31X (CA-38A) jack (Figure 8 on page 28) when wiring for full line seizure. This lets the user quickly and easily disconnect the panel from the phone line in case the panel disables the phone line due to a malfunction.Full line seizure wiring with an RJ31X1. Run a four-conductor cable A from the premises Telco block D to the RJ31X B.2. Connect the four-conductor cable A wires to the RJ31X B.3. Disconnect the green and red premises phone jack wires from the Telco block D and splice them C to the four-conductor cable A black and white (or yellow) wires. Use weatherproof wire connectors for these splices.4. Connect the four-conductor cable A green and red wires to the Telco block D TIP (+) and red to RING (–) posts.5. Connect the phone cord E included with the panel to the RJ31X B and the panel LINE jack.

The downloader code must match the downloader access code in the Enterprise account to perform Enterprise sessions.Phone lock Off Prevents resetting of phone/reporting related options when a memory clear is performed (on) or resets these options to their default values when a memory clear is performed (off). The following are not reset when on:• Account number•Dealer code•Code length• Call wait cancel• Phone numbers 1 and 2• Phone report modes 1 to 4• Phone lock• Downloader phone number• Downloader codeAutoarm On Determines how long the system protests (announces open/failed sensors) when attempting to arm with open/failed sensors, before bypassing these sensors and automatically arming the rest of the system.Note: The panel protests an arming attempt when it has not received a restore (close) signal from sensors learned into restore-specific sensors groups. Sensors learned into group 26 (fire) cannot be bypassed.When this option is on, the panel announces all open/failed sensors repeatedly for 4 minutes, then automatically bypasses the open sensors and arms the rest of the system. If a sensor is opened during the exit delay and then left open, the panel will go into alarm after the exit delay has expired. This option must be on for Unvacated premises and Exit extension to work correctly.When this option is off, the panel displays all open/failed sensors once, then automatically bypasses the open sensors and arms the rest of the system after the exit delay has expired. If other sensors are opened during the exit delay, they will also be bypassed if left open.Note: If group 13 (Instant Perimeter) sensors are opened during the exit delay, the panel goes into immediate alarm.
Simon XTInstallation Manual42Exit extend On Determines whether the panel restarts the exit delay time if the user enters the armed premises during the initial exit delay period (on), or not (off). Turning on this feature allows users to reenter during the exit delay period, without disarming and then rearming the system. Turning off this feature requires the user to disarm and rearm the system. Note: Autoarm must be on for this option to work.Secure arming Off Determines whether an access code is required when arming the system (on) or not (off). This option does not affect keyfob arm/disarm operation.No arm on low batteryOff Determines whether the system protests arming if a low CPU battery condition exists (on) or not (off).Quick exit Off Determines whether pressing DISARM when the system is armed activates the exit delay time to allow exit and reentry without disarming the system (on) or not (off).This feature is useful if the user wants to step outside briefly and return, such as to get the paper. If the system is armed and the user presses DISARM, the panel announces Exit time is ON and sounds exit delay beeps. This allows a designated entry/exit door to be open for up to 2 minutes without causing alarm. When the door is closed, the beeps stop and the door is armed again.Note: For UL listed systems, Quick Exit must be Off. Downloader enable aOn Enables programming of system options with downloader software.Sup protest aOff Determines whether the panel protests arming if it has not received a supervisory signal from any sensor 15 minutes before arming (on) or not (off).

Chapter 5Testing61Sensor testingTest the sensors after all programming is completed and whenever a sensor-related problem occurs.Note: While the sensor test is a valuable installation and service tool, it only tests sensor operation for the current conditions. You should perform a sensor test after any change in environment, equipment, or programming.Notify the central station you will be performing a test prior to starting the test. To test the sensors, do the following:1. Place all sensors in their secured (no alarm) state.2. Go to the Sensor Test option under the System tests menu, then press Enter.The panel will prompt you to trip each sensor one at a time. You may follow the panel prompting or test the sensors in any order. Use Table 30 to trip sensors.3. Interior sirens sound transmission beeps, and the display identifies the tripped sensor and the number of RF packets received. Each beep represents one RF packet. Count the number of beeps and refer to Table 31 for minimum requirements. After the beeps, the panel displays Sn # Packets=XX Name (where XX equals the number of RF packets and Name equals the sensor name). The system will continue to prompt for sensors that have not yet been tested. When all sensors have been tested, the panel will display Sn test complete Press Status.Note: If a sensor does not meet the minimum transmission beep requirements, see If a sensor fails the sensor test on page 62. Table 30. Sensor tripping instructionsSensor Do thisDoor/window Open the secured door or window.Freeze Remove the sensor cover. Apply ice in a plastic bag to the sensor (for 10 to 15 minutes). Do not allow the sensor to get wet.Water Press a wet rag or wet finger over both of the round, gold-plated terminals on the underside of the sensor.Carbon monoxide alarm Unplug the CO Alarm.

Simon XTInstallation Manual624. Press STATUS. The panel displays Sensor Test Ok. 5. If you press STATUS and the panel has not heard from all sensors, the panel will display Sn test fail or aborted.If a sensor fails the sensor testIf 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 runaway (faulty) sensor. Replace the sensor.If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet (30 meters) of the panel. While a sensor may have a range of 500 feet (152 meters) 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 be accomplished by the following:• Reposition the sensor• Relocate the sensor• If necessary, replace the sensorTo reposition a sensor:1. Rotate the sensor and test for improved sensor communication at 90 and 180 degrees from the 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.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 GE Security for repair or replacement of the problem sensor.Table 31.
