Changes or modifications not expressly approved by GE Security can void the user ’s authority to operate the equipment.

FCC Part 15 Class B

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 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.

FCC ID: B4Z-787E-SIMON

ACTA Part 68

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. Located on this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

FCC Part 68 Registration No. B4ZUSA-27621-AL-E REN: 0.2B

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 areas, 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 the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements as adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compliant modular jack that is also compliant. See the Installation Instructions for details.

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 telephone line. Proper installation is depicted in the following diagram. 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.

Introduction to Your Security System

Your security system uses wireless technology to warn your family about intrusion, carbon monoxide and fire. It may also be used to control lights and appliances within your home. The system has the capabilities of communicating with a central monitoring station and sending messages to a numeric pager or remote phone (voice event notification).

This manual describes how to operate your system. It will guide you through programming instructions for system features as well as basic arming and disarming commands for the system.

Security System Components

The security system uses devices called sensors that use radio waves to communicate alarms to the Control Panel (panel).

The system is supervised, meaning that the panel checks the status of each sensor to detect problems. If the panel detects trouble it will notify you with beeps and indicator lights on the panel itself.

Your security system installation may include any of the following devices:

Control Panel

The Control Panel is used to operate and program your security system. It communicates to you through voice messages, beeps, and by lighting or flashing buttons. The panel can communicate to a central monitoring station, numeric pager, remote phone, or all three.

Touchpads

Remote Handheld Touchpads are used to control the security system primarily from within the home.

* Dialog QS 1500 Touchtalk Interactive Keypads are used to control the security system primarily from within the home. It’s used to hear commands from the control panel when it’s active.

Keychain Touchpads are used to control the security system from within or near the outside of your home. These touchpads can either be 2 or 4-button.

Sensors

Indoor Motion Sensors detect motion in a protected indoor area. When motion is detected the panel may respond by sounding chimes or an alarm.

Simon Security System 1

Outdoor Motion Sensors detect motion in a protected outdoor area. When motion is detected, the system may respond by sounding chimes or turning on outside lights. These sensors are not used for intrusion detection.

Door/Window Sensors detect the opening of a door or window.

Smoke Sensors detect smoke and a significant rise in temperature. They have a built in

siren that sounds when smoke or a significant rise in temperature is detected.

Freeze Sensors detect furnace failure. If the inside temperature drops below 41 sensor will notify the panel. The sensor will send a restore signal to the panel when the temperature rises to 50

Carbon Monoxide Sensors detect carbon monoxide. They have a built in siren that sounds when carbon monoxide is detected.

Modules

* Appliance Modules can be programmed to turn appliances or fluorescent lights on and off.

* Lamp Modules can be programmed to turn non-fluorescent lights on and off.

* Universal Modules are primarily used for controlling devices other than appliances

and lamps. Check with your installer for other applications.

Audio Verification Module (AVM) is primarily used by the central monitoring station to monitor sounds and verbally communicate with a person inside the home. This feature is similar to a speaker phone feature on a phone.

* Dialog RF Electronic Thermostat is primarily used to monitor and control HVAC systems from the security system.

* Water Resistant Personal Help Button is a wireless device used for activating police, medical or auxiliary alarms through your security system.

* Dialog Telephone Interface Module is a battery operated communication link between the security system control panel and the central monitoring station.

* Ethernet Interface Module is designed to provide access to the panel via a computer and the premisesconnect.com website.

• Installers - to aid in installation and maintenance of security systems.

• Dealers - to simplify customer and account management.

• First Responders - to identify where and how to respond.

• Customers - to control their security system.

* Not investigated for use by UL

How You Communicate to Your System

Note

The Master Access Code default is 1-2-3-4 when the security system is shipped from the factory. You should change your code after your system is installed (see “Programming Your System”).

Sending commands or instructing your security system can be done through the panel, touchpads, a remote telephone or a computer.

Control Panel

You can enter commands for your security system through simple key presses on the panel. Depending on how your system is programmed, you may need to enter an access code for certain commands. An access code is a numeric code that allows authorization to operate your security system.

Remote Handheld Touchpad

This touchpad gives you the option to enter commands from any room in your house. You can enter commands through simple key presses on the touchpad.

Dialog QS 1500 Touchtalk Interactive Keypad

This keypad gives you the option to enter commands from a remote location (away from the control panel) in your house. It also allows you to hear panel messages when the System Status button is pressed.

Arm

Turn on intrusion/burglary protection for your system. You can arm door/window sensors, motion sensors or both depending on the buttons you press.

Disarm

Turn off intrusion/burglary protection for your system. Only intrusion/burglary sensors such as doors/windows and motion are disarmed. Environmental sensors, such as smoke and carbon monoxide stay active at all times.

System Status

Press to hear information about your system. If the button is lit, there is a problem with the system. If the button is blinking, an alarm has occurred. Press the button to hear what is wrong with the system. (See “Status Beeps”.)

Exit Delay

Exit Delay is the amount of time the system gives you to exit the home before the system is armed (between 5 and 254 seconds). This is programmed by the installer. When you arm you will hear beeps during the exit delay (see the table “Status Beeps” of this manual to determine the meaning of panel/system beeps).

Your Exit Delay is set for ___ seconds.

Simon Security System 3

Note

The designated door may be opened and closed once. If you close the designated door behind you when you exit, you will have to disarm the system upon reentering. Leave the designated door open while using the Quick Exit feature.

Entry Delay

Entry Delay is the amount of time the system gives you to disarm the system after entering the home (between 5 and 254 seconds). This is programmed by the installer. When you enter your home you will hear beeps during the entry delay (see the table “Status Beeps” of this manual to determine the meaning of panel/system beeps).

Your Entry Delay is set for ___ seconds.

Quick Exit

The Quick Exit feature is used when someone wants to briefly leave while the home is still armed (i.e. get the newspaper). This feature needs to be enabled by your installer. When you press the Disarm button the panel will announce exit time on. This will allow a designated exit door to be open for up to 2 minutes without triggering an alarm.

Latchkey

Latchkey is used to notify parents, via a numeric pager or remote phone, if children do not arrive home at a predetermined time and disarm the system. For example, you set the Latchkey time for 3:00 pm. If the system isn’t disarmed by that time a message is sent to your numeric pager (see “Numeric Pager”) or remote phone.

Subdisarm

If your system includes 24-hour protection sensors on items such as gun or jewelry cases, you must subdisarm the panel before accessing these areas to avoid causing an alarm. Environmental sensors, such as smoke and carbon monoxide stay active at all times.

Your system responds to you through the use of panel voice messages, status beeps, alarms, panel indicator lights, and to a numeric pager or remote phone if programmed.

Panel Voice Messages

When you press the buttons on the panel or the touchpads, the panel responds with voice messages. Panel voice can be enabled or disabled (see “Options”).

These messages may respond with system information or prompt you to take further action. For example, if you want to disarm the system and you press the DISARM button, the panel responds by announcing, “Please enter your access code.”

If you press a button and the feature has not been programmed, the panel voice will respond with “Function not available.” An example of this would be pressing Lights Sensor (activated) button when you have no sensor activated lights in your system.

Status Beeps

Status beeps are used to indicate key presses, status, and problems with the system. They can be enabled or disabled (see “Options”). The following table describes status beep activity.

Canceling and Preventing Accidental Alarms

One of the biggest concerns you might have regarding your security system, is causing an accidental alarm. Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the residence after arming the system, or, before disarming the system upon your return.

Canceling Accidental Alarms

There is a communicator delay (Dialer Delay) of 30 seconds programmed into this panel. The panel will delay 30 seconds before dialing the central monitoring station, numeric pager or remote phone to send reports. You can have your installer program this delay time between 0 - 254 seconds.

You have ___ seconds to cancel an accidental alarm.

To cancel an accidental alarm before the programmed dialer delay time expires, enter your access code.

Guidelines for Preventing Accidental Alarms

The following guidelines will go a long way toward preventing accidental alarms.

• Close doors and windows before you leave your house.

• Gather your belongings, so you can exit immediately after arming the system.

• Always enter and exit within the programmed delay times.

• Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay time set for it.

• Disarm your system immediately upon returning home.

• Be aware of the devices in your security system and learn how each one operates.

• If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet lenses in your motion detectors.

• Check the location of your smoke detectors. Smoke detectors near bathrooms and kitchens can be tripped by steam and smoke from cooking.

• Take note of system beeps, voice announcements and indicator lights which indicate the current system status.

Access Codes

Your security system has a master access code and access codes 1-5 used for arming and disarming the panel. The master code is used for disarming and programming your system. Access codes 1-5 are generally used for children or as temporary codes for a baby-sitter or service personnel.

Your system may be set up so that the master code or an access code is required when arming. If so, the panel will prompt you to enter a code when you attempt to arm the system.

Note

Because different codes can be entered using the same button presses, you have to use caution when programming different codes. You need to ensure that one access code does not use the same button presses as other access codes. For example, if the master code is 1234, do not program another code to be 2244. The panel would interpret these codes to be the same code.

Trouble Beeps Your security system is able to automatically test itself for:

• Power failures

• Low batteries

• Non-working sensors

• Communication troubles with the Central Monitoring Station

When your security system detects one of the problems above, six rapid beeps sound every minute, until the trouble condition is corrected.

Silencing Trouble Beeps

To stop the trouble beeps, press the SYSTEM STATUS button or arm/disarm the sys- tem while the trouble condition exists. Trouble beeps will begin 4 hours later, unless the trouble condition is corrected.

AC Power Failure

This condition occurs if your security system has been accidentally unplugged or if there has been an AC power outage. The backup battery will take over. If AC power is not restored within 15 seconds, the panel will go dark and alert you with trouble beeps. If you press any button, the display will light and pressing SYSTEM STATUS will confirm the AC power failure. If AC power is not restored within a programmed period of time (5-254 minutes) the system will call the central monitoring station (if programmed by installer). The backup battery, if fully charged, will last for 18 - 24 hours, depending on the load applied to the panel, with no AC power.

System Battery Failure

This condition occurs if the emergency backup battery has failed. Status beeps will start and the SYSTEM STATUS button will light. Press the SYSTEM STATUS but- ton to hear the trouble message. If your AC power is not working, your security system will shut down once the battery has failed. If the condition does not clear after AC power has been restored and 24 hours have passed, call your security system dealer.

Restoration of Power

This condition occurs after a complete loss of power (AC and battery). When power is restored, the panel will return to the arming state with the same zones bypassed it had prior to losing power.

Simon Security System 23

Sensor Failure

This condition occurs if a sensor is not communicating with the panel. Status beeps will start and the SYSTEM STATUS button will light. Press the SYSTEM STATUS button to hear which sensor(s) failed. Perform sensor tests. It may be necessary for you to call your security system dealer if the problem continues.

Sensor Low Battery

This condition occurs if a system sensor has a low battery. The sensor may still be communicating with the panel. Status beeps will start and the SYSTEM STATUS button will light. Press the SYSTEM STATUS button to hear which sensor has a low battery. It may be necessary for you to call your security system dealer to resolve this problem. Some sensor batteries can be replaced by the homeowner.

Fail-To-Communicate

This condition occurs if your security system cannot communicate to the central monitoring station. Your system will try to report to the central monitoring station 8 times before it tells you there is a Fail-To-Communicate problem. Status beeps will start and the System Status button will light. Press the System Status button to hear the trouble message. It may be necessary for you to call your security system dealer if the problem continues.

Sensor Open

This condition occurs if a door or window is open, a system sensor has been disturbed and not reset properly. For example, a Door/Window Sensor magnet may have been removed from the sensor. Your system will indicate this condition to you by causing the System Status button to light. When you press this button, the system responds with Sensor # Name open. Correct the problem by resetting the sensor. If this condition continues, call your security system dealer

Sensor Tampered

This condition occurs when a sensor is physically tampered with. If the system is armed an alarm will occur. For example, the cover is taken off of one of the sensors. Your system will indicate this condition to you by causing the System Status button to light. When you press this button, the system responds with, Sensor # Name tampered. Cor- rect the problem by resetting the sensor. If this condition continues, call your security system dealer.

Option 50 Detected

The panel receiver may be experiencing some interference. The system will call to notify the central monitoring station about this problem.

Siren 1 or 2 Failure

Call your security system dealer.

System Access Alarm

The panel cover was opened while the system was armed. The system will call the central monitoring station to report a tamper alarm.

Clearing System Status

Press the SYSTEM STATUS button, listen to the status message, then disarm the system to clear system status. If the trouble condition was a low system battery, perform a sensor test. The SYSTEM STATUS button should turn off if all trouble condi- tions have been corrected.

Simon Security System

Testing As an added safeguard, there are system tests you should do yourself on a regular

basis. It is recommended that you test your system weekly.

Alarm System Limitations

Not even the most advanced alarm system can guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or environmental problems.

All alarm systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons.

• If sirens are not placed within hearing range of persons sleeping, in remote parts of the premises, or if they are placed behind doors or other obstacles.

• If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry or areas where sensors have been bypassed.

Simon Security System

• If freeze or any environmental sensors are not located in areas where the appropriate condition can be detected.

• If smoke does not reach a Smoke Sensor. For example, Smoke Sensors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door. Sensors may not detect smoke in other levels of the building. Sensors may not warn in time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazardous conditions.

• If telephone lines are out of service.

Inadequate maintenance is the most common cause of alarm failure. Therefore, test your system at least once per week to be sure sensors, sirens, and phone communications are all working correctly.

Although having an alarm system may make you eligible for reduced insurance premiums, the system is no substitute for insurance.

Security system devices cannot compensate you for the loss of life or property.

Emergency Planning

Since an emergency is always unexpected, you should develop plans to help prepare for a variety of emergency situations. Periodically discuss and rehearse emergency plans to include the following:

• Understand how to use your security system

• Know the normal state of doors and windows; open, closed, or locked.

• Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack.)

• Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to the touch.

• Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to help reduce smoke inhalation during your escape.

• Meet at a designated outdoor location.

• Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if there is a fire.

Simon Security System 27

• Notify the fire department from a neighbor’s phone.

• Emphasize that no one should enter the premises if they hear sirens in the house.

• If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do not enter. Call for emergency assistance from a neighbor’s phone.
