Introduction

The Simon XT uses wireless technology to warn your family about intrusion, carbon
monoxide and fire. The system communicates with a central monitoring station and
sends voice messages to an offsite phone.

The security system uses sensors that communicate alarms to the control panel
using radio waves. 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 displayed and spoken messages, beeps, and indicator lights on the panel itself.
A Simon XT installation may include any of the devices listed in Table 1 below.

2 Simon XT User Manual

Using the Simon XT security system

You can operate the self-contained security system through several different
methods:

• Use the front panel buttons to arm/disarm the system when you enter or exit your
home and to determine which sensors are active and the system status.

• Use the three fast action keys to communicate with the central monitoring station
to report emergency (auxiliary), police, or fire alarms.

• Use a combination of the panel buttons and the display menu to program certain
user features. This method is used by your installer to establish your system
configuration. (See “Programming” on page 18.)

Panel controls

The self-contained panel provides the user interface for system operation and
programming system functions.

key is pressed.

Simon XT features

The Simon XT features provide you with the ability to perform the following functions:

• Arm perimeter (doors and windows) and interior (motion) sensors to indicate
intruders.

• Use one button to send quick response alerts to the central monitoring station.

• Access the system from a key fob (similar to the one used for your car).

• Access the system from a remote telephone.

• Disable sensors so you can leave a window open while the system is armed.

• Get an audio alert when a protected door is opened while the system is disarmed.

• Have the system notify you if your children do not arrive at home by a
predetermined time.

• Get an audio alert if movement of a protected asset is detected (group 43).

Home security

The Simon XT allows you to control which sensors are active at any given time.
Table 4 below describes the arming levels that you can set from the control panel.

Table 4: Arming levels

Level Function Description

0 Subdisarm If your system includes 24-hour protection sensors, you must

subdisarm the panel before accessing these areas to avoid
causing an alarm. Environmental sensors (such as smoke or
carbon monoxide detectors) stay active at all times.

1 Disarm In this level, only 24-hour sensors are active. Environmental

sensors (such as smoke or carbon monoxide detectors) stay
active at all times.

This level arms all sensors.

Arming/disarming

Arming a sensor makes it active and allows the panel to generate an alarm when a
door or window is opened or when an unauthorized person enters a specific area.
Disarming makes the sensor inactive in the system. The current arming level is shown
on the panel display and changes in arming level are announced on the speaker.

To subdisarm (level 0):

1. Enter the master code while the system is disarmed.

The panel displays and speaks Subdisarmed, the Disarm button blinks, and the

Simon XT User Manual 7

Exit/entry delay

Your Simon XT provides a delay after entering or exiting your home before the system
is alarmed. Table 5 below provides details for the entry and exit delay features.

Table 5: Entry and exit delay details

Function Description

Entry delay Some active sensors cause immediate alarms when tripped. Other

sensors, if enrolled in a delayed response group, start an entry delay
that lets you enter the premises and disarm the system. When you
enter your home, you will hear beeps during the entry delay (see “
beeps” on page 14). If the system has not been disarmed by the end of
the entry delay, an alarm occurs.

The entry delay time is programmed by the installer.

No delay If the system was armed with the no delay feature activated, there will

be no entry delay and the alarm will occur immediately.

Exit delay The exit delay is the amount of time the system gives you to exit the

home before the system is armed. During the delay, you can vacate the
premises through a delayed response door without causing an alarm.
Beeps will sound during the exit delay (see “
The exit delay time is programmed by the installer.

Status beeps” on page 14).

Status

Protest during arming The system may protest an arming level change if certain abnormal

conditions exist. If a sensor that is active in the requested arming level
is open, the system sounds protest beeps and automatically bypasses
the open sensor (depending on the system configuration).

Silent exit

The silent exit feature silences the status beeps that accompany the exit delay. Press
Silent after you arm the system to silence status beeps. The panel will still beep at the
beginning and end of the exit delay.

Note: Enabling silent exit doubles the exit delay time.

No entry delay

Use the no entry delay feature when you are staying at home, or when you are away
from home and will carry a wireless touchpad to disarm the system before opening a
protected door. Check with your installer to find out how this option is programmed.

1. Close all door and windows.

2. Press Doors+Windows twice. If a code is required for arming, enter your code
after the first press of the Doors+Windows button, and then press the button
again.
