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.

Installation

Use the following guidelines when adding this touch screen to
the Simon XT or XTi system:

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.
