Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of the system and an outline of the steps you need to perform before you begin installing and configuring your security system.

Product overview

This 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 below) has three types of components:

• Self-contained control panel

• Devices that report to the panel

• Devices that respond to commands from the panel

Note: The keyfob and X10 modules have not been investigated by UL.

Figure 1: Simon XT system

Note: 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.

Simon XT Installation Manual 3

Device

Description

Door/window sensor (60-670)

For intrusion protection, install door/window sensors on all ground-floor doors and windows. At a minimum, install then in the following locations:

• All easily accessible exterior doors and windows.

• Interior doors leading into the garage.

• Doors to areas containing valuables.

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.

X10 module*

When 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)

Freeze 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 41ºF (5ºC). When the temperature rises to 50ºF (10ºC), the sensor transmits a restore signal.

Water sensor* (60-744)

Water sensors detect water leaks and rising water. The detector is connected to the sensor by an 8-foot cable. Water that reaches both detector contact points activates the sensor, causing it to transmit an alarm signal.

You can program the panel onsite from the keypad or remotely using Enterprise Downloader software. See “Programming” on page 31 for complete onsite programming instructions.

System components

The system can monitor up to 40 sensors and may use any of the devices listed in Table 1.

Table 1: Supported devices

4 Simon XT Installation Manual

Device

Description

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. See the instructions packaged with the smoke sensor for complete placement information.

Carbon monoxide (CO) alarm* (60-652-95)

The learn mode CO alarm alerts you 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.

Key fob* (60-659)

The key fob (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 the appropriate light control modules, you can use key fobs to turn all system controlled lights on and off.

ELM (encrypted learn mode) key fob*

(60-832)

The ELM 2-button key fob is an alkaline battery-powered, wireless touchpad that allows you to arm and disarm the system and activate a police or auxiliary alarm. Random encrypted signal transmissions provide high security to help prevent signal copying.

Remote 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, or activate a panic alarm if there is a nonmedical emergency.

Water-resistant personal help button*

(60-906-95)

The water-resistant personal help button is a wireless device used for activating police 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.

Planning

This chapter provides information to help you plan your installation to reduce time and costs.

Planning the installation

This 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 Table 35 on page 66 for sensor name segments listed alphabetically and by index number.

Control panel location

Locate 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 locations

The 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 below and Table 4 on page 8 to determine the appropriate sensor type for the sensors you will be adding. Use Table 5 on page 10 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.

Cross-zoning

Cross 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 on page 12 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.

Opening panel cover and chassis

Tabs at the top of the panel secure and release the front cover and the chassis. The plastic hinges on the panel bottom allow the cover and chassis to swing down and out of the way (Figure 3 on page 21).

20 Simon XT Installation Manual

Figure 3: Opening the panel cover and chassis

Mounting the panel

To 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 on page 22).

Simon XT Installation Manual 21

Figure 4: Panel mounting hole locations

5. 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.

Connecting hardwired devices

The panel has seven screw terminals and two telephone connections (Figure 5 on page 23). 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.

22 Simon XT Installation Manual

Figure 5: Simon XT terminal connections

HW1 I/O, HW2 in, and HW1&2 DC out terminals

The 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 sirens

From 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.

LD105 hardwired interior siren

Interior 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.

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 on page 24 The resistor must be connected across the siren wires as close to the siren as possible.

Simon XT Installation Manual 23

Figure 6: Hardwired interior siren with supervision

Hardwired contacts

To 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 on page 25. The resistor must be connected at the last switch in the circuit.

Note: Do not install the resistor at the panel terminals. This does not provide supervision of the wire.

24 Simon XT Installation Manual

Figure 7: Connecting normally closed hardwire reed switches

Wiring a phone line to the panel

You 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 seizure

Full 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 26) 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 RJ31X

1. 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.

Simon XT Installation Manual 25

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.

Figure 8: Full line seizure wiring with RJ-31X

Full line seizure wiring with one premises phone

If a single phone is all that exists on the premises, full line seizure can be accomplished without an RJ31X (Figure 8 above).

1. Disconnect the phone from the premises phone jack and plug it into the panel PHONE jack A. This jack is disconnected automatically whenever the panel reports.

26 Simon XT Installation Manual

2. Connect the included phone cord to the panel LINE jack and the premises phone jack B.

Note: If customers add phones or other phone devices to another phone jack, full line seizure no longer exists. Inform them to contact you if they want to add a phone or other device so that you can rewire for full line seizure by adding an RJ31X

Figure 9: Full line seizure wiring with single landline phone

Wiring the power transformer

Connect the power transformer to the panel AC terminals as shown in Figure 10 on page 28.

Simon XT Installation Manual 27

Figure 10: Transformer connections

Note: Do not plug in the transformer at this time.

Powering up the panel

When applying power to the panel connect the battery first, then plug in the AC power transformer. This sequence prevents a battery fault condition.

Note: Maximum battery charge current is 60 mA. It may take up to 24 hours for a new battery to fully charge.

Installing the backup battery

To install the backup battery (6 VDC, 1.2 Ah), do the following:

1. Connect the lug end of the red battery lead to the red battery tab.

2. Connect the lug end of the black battery lead to the black battery tab.

3. Align the red (+) battery terminal with the right end of the terminal strip. The logo and specification information should be readable.

4. Insert the front end of the battery under the forward battery compartment latch.

5. Push forward and rotate the battery downward until it seats beneath the rear battery compartment latch.

Caution: Do not connect the battery until you are ready to power up the panel.

See “Powering up the panel” above

28 Simon XT Installation Manual

Figure 11: Installing the panel backup battery

Applying AC power

Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch or that it is not part of a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI).

1. Remove the center screw from the outlet cover plate and hold the cover plate in place.

WARNING: Use extreme caution when securing the transformer to a metal outlet

cover. You could receive a serious shock if a metal outlet cover drops down onto the prongs of the plug.

2. Plug the transformer into the lower receptacle of the outlet so that the hole in the transformer tab lines up with the outlet cover screw hole.

3. Insert the cover plate screw through the transformer tab and the outlet cover plate. Tighten the screw.

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 code.

Auto arm

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. The panel protests an arming attempt when it has not received a restore (close) signal from sensors learned into restore-specific sensor groups. Sensors learned into group 26 (fire) cannot be bypassed.

When this option is on, the panel announces all open/failed sensors repeatedly for four 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 the 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.

If group 13 (instant perimeter) sensors are opened during the exit delay, the panel goes into immediate alarm.

Sensors

Test the sensors after all programming is completed and whenever a sensorrelated 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:

1. Place all sensors in their secured (no alarm) state.

2. Scroll to Sensor Test options under the System Tests menu, and then press OK.

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. See the Table 28 on page 58 for specific instructions on how to trip each sensor type.

Interior sirens sound transmission beeps, and the display identifies the tripped sensor and the number of RF packets received. The system will continue to prompt for sensors that have not yet been tested. When all sensors have been tested, the display shows SN Test Complete Press Status.

3. Press Status. The display shows Sensor Test OK.

58 Simon XT Installation Manual

Sensor test failure

If 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 faulty sensor. Replace the sensor.

If possible, locate sensors within 100 ft. (30 m) of the panel. While a sensor may have a range of 500 ft. (152 m) 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.

To reposition a sensor:

1. Rotate the sensor and test for improved sensor communications at 90 and 180 degrees from 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 UTC Fire & Security for repair or replacement of the problem sensor.

Phone communication

Perform a communication test to check the phone communication between the panel and the central station.

To perform a phone communication test:

1. Scroll to the Comm Test option under the System Test menu.

2. Press OK. The panel confirms that a communication test has begun. When the

communication test is complete, the panel displays Comm Test is OK within 3 minutes.
