Description
The Simon 5” TouchScreen model 60-924-RF-TS5 features a
color 5-inch LCD screen with a graphical user interface
designed to control basic functionality of the Simon XT (v1.3 or
later), Simon XTi, and Simon XTi-5 control panels. Up to four
touch screens can be learned (programmed) into each Simon
XT, XTi, or XTi-5 panel.
The touch screen provides a convenient option for the
following system operations:
• Arm the system (doors, windows, and motion sensors).
• Disarm the system.
• Activate a panic alarm to call the central monitoring station
in a nonmedical emergency.
• Check system status.
• Turn system controlled lights on or off (depending on your
system configuration).
• Lock and unlock system-controlled door locks (depending
on your system configuration).
• Hear voice feedback of the status of the Simon XT, XTi, or
XTi-5 control panel.
Safety information
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ENCLOSED
WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION.
• 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.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD. The product accessory
bag contains items that could be choking hazards. Please keep
away from small children.
WARNING: Disconnect panel power before servicing.

5. Reattach the touchscreen to the mounting base plate.
Angle the top of the touch screen into the tab hooks on the
top of the mounting base and swing the bottom of the
touch screen into the lower part of the mounting base until
you hear an audible click.
6. Connect the spaded ends of the power supply wire to the
terminal to the terminals on the power supply. Note: The
dashed line/writing side of the wire to positive. Ensure
consistency by wiring the + to + and – to – as polarity must
be observed or touchscreen will not function. Plug in the
power, the touch screen will power up.
Learning
To program (learn) the touch screen into the Simon XT
panel:
4. Connect the wire to the power terminals as identified in
Figure 4, taking particular care to ensure the
marked/dashed wire attaches to the Positive lead and the
unmarked wire attaches to the Negative lead. Observe
polarity by ensuring the same wire at the touch screen
mounting base is connected to the corresponding positive
and negative lead on the power supply. Do not use
different or longer run cable than the supplied wiring as
the DC power supply may not support it and intermittent
power failures in the touch screen may occur due.
1. Press the down arrow button on the panel and scroll to
System Programming.
2. Press OK.
The panel displays Enter Code.
3. Enter the installer access code and press OK.
