Simon XT Talking Touchscreen Installation
Sheet
Description
The Simon XT Talking Touch Screen (models 60-924-RF-TS
and 60-924-RF-TS-N without power supply) features a color
3.5 inch LCD screen with a graphical user interface designed
to control basic functionality of the Simon XT (v1.3 or later) and
Simon XTi control panels. Up to four touch screens can be
learned (programmed) into each Simon XT or XTi 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 or XTi
control panel.
• Always do a sensor test before attaching the touch screen
to the wall.
• Do not wrap the antenna into the backplate. Follow the
instructions to install the antenna into the wall.
Sensor naming
Please use the following as a guide when naming sensors:
• Sensor names must have the word “window” or “door”
from the text library to interact with the touch screen Doors
and Windows icons on the Main screen.
• The Motion icon is controlled by sensors that are
programmed into the following groups: 15, 17, 18, 20, 28,
32.
• The Property icon is controlled by the following sensors:
• All sensors learned into Group 43.
• Sensors that are not named “window” or “door”.
• Sensors not learned into the Motion groups.
• Sensors that are named keyfob or keychain.
To program (learn) the touch screen into the Simon XT
panel:
1. Press the down arrow button on the panel and scroll to
Installation
Use the following guidelines when adding this touch screen to
the Simon XT or XTi system:
• The touch screen should be the last sensor programmed
(learned) into the panel.
• Program (learn) the touch screen into the panel as a
sensor.
• Program touch screens using sensor groups 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 XT panel.
• Avoid mounting the touch screen directly behind the
Simon XT or XTi panel on the opposite side of the wall.

We recommend that you test the touch screen after all
programming is completed and whenever a touch screen
related problem occurs.
To verify communication between the panel and the touch
screen, exit programming mode and then press the System
Status icon on the touch screen. The touch screen should
announce the correct system status.
3. Mount the touch screen in the new location (see Figure 1
on page 4).
Note: If you cannot get the touch screen to trip, test a known
good touch screen at the same location. If the replacement
touch screen functions, contact UTC Fire & Security for repair
or replacement of the faulty touch screen.
To mount the touch screen:
1. Remove the touch screen from the mounting base by
inserting a small screwdriver into the slot on the bottom of
the touch screen (see Figure 1 on page 4).
2. Hold the base on the wall at the mounting location and
mark the mounting holes, antenna drop, and power drop.
3. Drill 1/8 inch holes into the wall for plastic anchors at the
mounting hole locations. Cut both the antenna and power
wire drop openings to the size of the opening in the base.
4. Push the two plastic anchors into the drilled holes and
tighten screws within a ¼ inch of the anchors.
5. Feed the power supply plug through the power wire
opening.
6. Hang the base over the screws, level, and tighten the
screws.
7. Load four AAA batteries into the battery compartment on
the back of the touch screen.
8. Plug the power into the back of the touch screen, and
secure the power wire to the loop with the tie wrap
provided.
9. Feed the antenna wire from the back of the touch screen
through the rectangular wire drop opening in the wall.
10. Angle the top of the touch screen into the hooks on the top
of the base. Start feeding the power cable through the wire
drop, and swing the bottom of the touch screen into the
lower part of the base until you hear it click.
11. When choosing the AC outlet for the power supply, make
sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch.
Note: If necessary, use a soft cloth to clear smudges on the
screen; do not use glass cleaner on the screen.
To relocate the touch screen:
1. Test the touch screen a few inches from the original
position.

Operation
Refer to the Simon XT Touch Screen Quick Operation Guide
for basic touch screen operation information. Refer to the panel
documentation for complete Simon XT and XTi programming
and operation information.
Setting the clock
You can set the touch screen clock by setting the clock on the
Simon XT or XTi panel.
Battery replacement
Note: Do not press the Reset button while in programming
mode.
Clear operation
If the Simon XT or XTi panel is connected to an online service,
some information (such as a dealer logo) can be stored in the
touch screen memory. To erase touch screen memory and
restore to factory default, simply relearn the touch screen into
the panel again. The learn in process begins by clearing the
touch screen memory. To keep memory clear, learn the touch
screen into a Simon XT or XTi panel that has no online service
supported.
Troubleshooting
• If your touch screen fails to enroll, go to the Simon XT
panel, delete that touch screen from the panel, and then
repeat the enroll procedure.
• If the touch screen chime does not announce the zone
name completely, it is likely due to the zone information
not being sent to the touch screen during installation. To
correct the problem, delete the touch screen and relearn
the touch screen again.
When the touch screen batteries are low, the touch screen will
display the red battery icon on the Home and Settings screens.
Note: We recommend that you replace the batteries once a
year and after any significant power outage.
1. Remove the touch screen from the mounting plate by
inserting a small screwdriver into the slot on the bottom of
the touch screen.
2. Replace all batteries being sure to follow the polarity
instructions (see “Specifications ” below for recommended
batteries).
Avoid touching the touch screen face while you are
