https://answers.alarm.com/Installation_and_Troubleshooting/Image_Sensor/Interlogix_Simon_XTi_Image_Sensor/Interlogix_Simon_XTi_Image_Sensor_Installation_Guide_-_ADC-IS-300-LP

Updated: Tue, 17 Apr 2018 13:48:15 GMT

There are two ways to reset the Image Sensor:

• Power Cycle – Power Cycle can be done by one of two ways: (1) Take out and reinsert batteries or (2) press and release the sensor reset button. Only initiate a power cycle if the LED has not been active in the last 10 seconds. After a power cycle, the Image Sensor will enter sensor power up state followed by the memory check state.

• Network Reset - An Image Sensor must be network reset when it has been previously enrolled on a different panel. The Image Sensor will indicate that it is enrolled on a panel by blinking green after the memory check. In order to perform a network reset, press and hold the reset button for a full 10 seconds or until the red LED flashes rapidly. Release as sobon as you see the rapidly flashing red LED. A successful network reset will result in the LED blinking

yellow after the memory check (solid red LED).

Updated: Tue, 17 Apr 2018 13:48:15 GMT

A network reset will only work if the Image Sensor is not actively communicating with a network. If the Image Sensor is within range of the original panel, it is required that the Image Sensor first be deleted from the panel it was previously learned into before being able to perform a network reset on the Image Sensor. See instructions on how to properly delete the Image Sensor from the panel. After releasing the reset button, the Image Sensor will enter sensor power-up mode (blinking red LED) followed by memory check (solid red LED) followed by either a blinking green or blinking yellow light. See Camera LED Reference Chart for the full list of status indicators and expected behaviors.

PIR ACTIVATION & TEST MODE

By default, the image sensor LED does not illuminate when activated by motion unless the sensor is in test mode. The

LED can be enabled by tampering the device, via the Alarm.com Dealer Website, or on the panel for each Image Sensor

on a customer’s account. The Image Sensor must have successfully completed the enrollment process with a panel.

When enabled, the red LED illuminates for 3 seconds upon motion activations (at most every 3 minutes while disarmed).

Instructions to activate on the panel (Note: It may take up to 30 seconds for test mode to take effect after requesting

“Test PIR” at the panel):

• On the XT panel, go to “Image Sensor Setup” menu and scroll to “Image Sensor Settings”. Enter “Image Sensor Settings” and scroll to the sensor to test, press “OK.” Scroll to “Image Sensor [y] Test PIR,” and press OK to put the device in test mode.

• On the XTi panel, enter the “Test” menu under “Image Sensor” and press “PIR”. The screen will display a confirmation to indicate the test mode command has been sent.

Test mode cannot be activated from the Concord panel.

TAMPER & TROUBLE CONDITIONS

Tamper: A built-in accelerometer detects movement or re-positioning of the Image Sensor and will initiate a tamper

whenever a change in sensor orientation is detected. The tamper automatically clears after the sensor is returned to the

upright position and no movement has been detected for 5 minutes. A tamper can also be cleared by resetting the

sensor.

Trouble Conditions: By default, trouble conditions (malfunction, tamper & low battery) are displayed on the panel LCD.

Enable or disable trouble condition messages on the control panel LCD via the Alarm.com Dealer Website. Trouble

conditions are always reported to the Alarm.com Customer Website and customers will receive tamper/low/malfunction

notifications if they are subscribed, regardless of the panel setting.

TROUBLESHOOTING

General Troubleshooting Steps

• Verify Module Signal Strength

• Verify Image Sensor RF Signal Strength: The signal strength must be above 30% for the sensor to function properly.

• Verify Images Service Plan: Image capture functionality depends on the customer’s service plan. Be sure the proper Image Sensor service plan is selected.

Enrollment

• Verify Sensor is Receiving Power: After inserting batteries, the sensor LED should illuminate or flash within 10 seconds.

• Verify Sensor is Not Communicating with Another Network: If the sensor has been previously enrolled in a different system or daughterboard, delete the sensor from the system and hold the sensor reset button for 10 seconds to clear the sensor from old network before attempting to enroll the sensor in a new network. The sensor cannot be cleared if it is currently communicating with its network. In this case the sensor must be deleted from the system first through the control panel or remote command.

Sensor Non-Responsive

Updated: Tue, 17 Apr 2018 13:48:15 GMT

• Verify Range: Under the “Image Sensor Setup” menu, scroll to “Image Sensor Settings,” select the sensor and verify under “Signal” that the sensor is registering a strong signal. If signal strength is low, move non-responsive sensor closer to control panel, verify signal strength and see if communication resumes. Be sure that Image Sensor daughterboard antenna is correctly routed as indicated in step 5 of the installation procedure.

• Replace Batteries: Check battery level at the panel (under “Image Sensor Settings”) and install fresh sensor batteries.

Images Not Captured

• Verify Sensor Rules: Make sure the sensor initialization process has been completed. On the Dealer Website, verify rules have been confirmed using the “Rules Confirmed” column. If not, resend Image Sensor rules.

• Enable Auto Uploads: During the first four hours after any sensor is enrolled onto the system, alarm images will not automatically be uploaded to Alarm.com. Automatic uploads are automatically enabled after four hours. Enable uploads sooner from the Dealer Website.

False Motion Activations

• Check Environmental Elements: Heating or cooling elements may adversely affect sensor performance. Test sensor with and without these elements to determine interference. Check if there are any reflective surfaces facing the device (e.g. mirror).

• Check Sensor Positioning: The sensor may not be properly positioned to capture the desired motion. Check horizontal positioning of sensor and re-mount as necessary.

• Check PIR Sensitivity Setting: Verify that the proper sensor motion profile has been selected through the setup menu or select a less sensitive profile.
