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) has three types of components:
• Self-contained control panel
• Devices that report to the panel
• Devices that respond to commands from the panel
Figure 1: Simon XT TableTop Control Panel 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.
You can program the panel onsite from the keypad or remotely using Enterprise
Downloader software. See Chapter 4 “Programming” on page 31 for complete
onsite programming instructions.
2 Simon XT TableTop Control Panel Installation Manual
Chapter 1:
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 them in the following locations:
• All easily accessible exterior doors and windows.
• Interior doors leading into the garage.
• Doors to areas containing valuables such as cabinets and closets.
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 or turn on outside
lights.
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 41°F (5°C). When the
temperature rises to 50°F (10°C), the sensor transmits a restore signal.
Water sensor (60-
744)
Water sensors detect a water leak/rising water. The detector is connected to
the sensor by an 8-foot (2.4-meter) cable. Water that reaches both detector
contact points activates the sensor, causing it to transmit an alarm signal.
Smoke sensor (TX6010-01)
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.
Emergency planning on page 15 and the instructions packaged with the
smoke sensor for complete placement information.
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
Simon XT TableTop Control Panel Installation Manual 3
Chapter 1:
Device
Description
Carbon monoxide
(CO) alarm (60652-95)
The Learn Mode™ CO alarm alerts users 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.
Keyfob (60-659)
The keyfob (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 X10 lamp modules, you can use keyfobs to turn all system
controlled lights on and off.
ELM (encrypted
learn mode) keyfob
(60-832)
The ELM (encrypted learn mode™) 2-button keyfob is an alkaline batterypowered, wireless touchpad that allows users to arm and disarm their
system, and activate a police or auxiliary panic 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 (all or individual lights), or
activate a panic alarm if there is a nonmedical emergency.
Simon XT Table
Top Touchpad (80924-3-XT -TT)
The touchpad lets you turn the system on and off while in the home, turn
system controlled lights on and off (all or individual lights), 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 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 Sensor names on page
64 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, Recommended sensor groups and Table 4 on page 9,
Sensor group characteristics to determine the appropriate sensor type for the
sensors you will be adding. Use Table 5 on page 11, Sensor
assignments/locations 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 the following arming levels:
• Level 0 - Sub-disarm.
• Level 1 - Disarm.
• Level 2 - Arm doors and windows.
• Level 3 - Arm motion sensors.
• Level 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 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.

Chapter 3:
Panel connections
The panel has three screw terminals, two telephone connections, and a 9 VAC
plug (Figure 3).
Figure 3: Simon XT TableTop Control Panel terminal connections
Hardwired device terminals
The screw terminals connect sirens, and/or hardwired detectors.
Program sensors and devices before you install them. Follow the instructions in
Sensors on page 35 to add the sensors to panel memory.
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 terminal input is set up for interior siren operation
(status and alarm sounds). HW1&2 DC Out provides the positive (+) voltage.
22 Simon XT TableTop Control Panel Installation Manual
Chapter 3:
Note: The total current available from HW1&2 DC Out is 250 mA at up to 120°F
(49°C).
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
You must always wire interior sirens with a resistor in the circuit. For circuit
supervision which allows the panel to detect if the siren wire is cut (open), you
must turn on Hardwired Siren Supervision. (See Table 21 on page 42).
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 4. The resistor must
be connected across the siren wires as close to the siren as possible.
Figure 4: 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 below, then proceed to Programming overview on
page 26 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.
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.
Simon XT TableTop Control Panel Installation Manual 23
Chapter 3:
Connect hardwired reed switches to the panel using a 47 kohm resistor (not a 4.7
kohm resistor) as shown in Figure 5. The resistor must be connected at the last
switch in the circuit. Do not install the resistor at the panel terminals. This does
not provide supervision of the wire.
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.
Use the RJ31X (CA-38A) jack 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.
To wire a full line seizure with an RJ31X, see Figure 6 on page 21 and do the
following:
1. Run a four-conductor cable from the premises Telco block to the RJ31X.
24 Simon XT TableTop Control Panel Installation Manual
Chapter 3:
2. Connect the four-conductor cable wires to the RJ31X.
3. Disconnect the green and red premises phone jack wires from the Telco block
and splice them to the four-conductor cable black and white (or yellow) wires.
Use weatherproof wire connectors for these splices.
4. Connect the four-conductor cable green and red wires to the Telco block TIP
(+) and red to RING (–) posts.
5. Connect the phone cord included with the panel to the RJ31X and the panel
LINE jack.
Figure 6: Full line seizure wiring with RJ31X
If a single phone is all that exists on the premises, full line seizure can be
accomplished without an RJ31X.
To wire a single phone, see Figure 7 and do the following:
1. Disconnect the phone from the premises phone jack and plug it into the panel
PHONE jack. This jack is disconnected automatically whenever the panel
reports.
Simon XT TableTop Control Panel Installation Manual 25
Chapter 3:
2. Connect the included phone cord to the panel LINE jack and the premises
phone jack.
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 7: Full line seizure wiring with single landline phone
Power transformer connection
Connect the power transformer to the panel AC connector as shown in Figure 8.
26 Simon XT TableTop Control Panel Installation Manual
Chapter 3:
Figure 8: Transformer connections
Note: Do not plug in the transformer at this time
Powering up the panel
When applying power to the panel, first connect the backup battery, then plug in
the AC power transformer. This sequence prevents a battery fault condition.
Maximum battery charge current is 45 mA. It may take up to 24 hours for a new
battery to fully charge.
Backup battery
To connect the backup battery (6 VDC, 1.2 Ah), do the following:
1. Pull up on the tabs at the bottom of the battery compartment cover (Figure 3
on page 18) to lift off the cover.
2. Remove the white plastic covers on the battery terminals.
3. Connect the red battery lead to the red battery terminal (+) and the black
battery lead to the black battery terminal (-).
4. Place the battery in the battery compartment and replace the battery
compartment cover by aligning the tabs at the top of the cover first, then
snapping the bottom of the cover down.
Caution: Do not connect the battery until you are ready to power up the panel.
Simon XT TableTop Control Panel Installation Manual 27
Chapter 3:
Applying AC power
To apply AC power, do the following:
1. Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch or that it is not part of a
ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI).
2. 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 cover drops down onto the
prongs of the plug.
3. 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.
4. Insert the cover plate screw through the transformer tab and the outlet cover
plate. Tighten the screw.
X10 modules
To install lamp and appliance modules, do the following:
1. Set the unit code dial to a unit number between 1 and 8.
2. Set the housecode for the installation.
3. Plug the module into a wall outlet.
4. Plug the lamp/appliance into the module
Caution: Do not plug in appliances or lamps with 300-watt or larger bulbs into

Description
Autoarm
On
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
sensors groups. Sensors learned into group 26 (fire) cannot be
bypassed.
When this option is on, the panel announces all open/failed
sensors repeatedly for 4 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 this 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.
Note: If group 13 (instant perimeter) sensors are opened during
the exit delay, the panel goes into immediate alarm.
Exit extend
On
Determines whether the panel restarts the exit delay time if the
user enters the armed premises during the initial exit delay period
(on), or not (off). Turning on this feature allows users to reenter
during the exit delay period, without disarming and then rearming
the system. Turning off this feature requires the user to disarm
and rearm the system.
Autoarm must be on for this option to work.
Secure arming
Off
Determines whether an access code is required when arming the
system (on) or not (off). This option does not affect keyfob
arm/disarm operation.
No arm on low

Determines whether pressing Disarm when the system is armed
activates the exit delay time to allow exit and reentry without
disarming the system (on) or not (off).
This feature is useful if the user wants to step outside briefly and
return, such as to get the paper. If the system is armed and the
user presses Disarm, the panel announces Exit time is on and
sounds exit delay beeps. This allows a designated entry/exit door
to be open for up to 2 minutes without causing alarm. When the
door is closed, the beeps stop and the door is armed again.

Sensor testing
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, do the following:
1. Place all sensors in their secured (no alarm) state.
2. Go to the Sensor test option under the System tests menu, then press Enter.
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. Use Table 28 on page 62 to trip
sensors

Table 28: Sensor tripping instructions
3. Interior sirens sound transmission beeps, and the display identifies the tripped
sensor and the number of RF packets received. Each beep represents one
RF packet. Count the number of beeps and refer to Table 29 below for
minimum requirements. After the beeps, the panel displays Sn # Packets=XX
Name (where XX equals the number of RF packets and Name equals the
sensor name). The system will continue to prompt for sensors that have not
yet been tested. When all sensors have been tested, the panel will display Sn
test complete press Status.
Note: If a sensor does not meet the minimum transmission beep requirements,
see If a sensor fails the sensor test
Table 29: Minimum beeps
62 Simon XT TableTop Control Panel Installation Manual
4. Press Status. The panel displays Sensor test OK.
If you press Status and the panel has not heard from all sensors, the panel will
display Sn test fail or aborted.
If a sensor fails the sensor test
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 runaway (faulty) sensor. Replace the sensor.
If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet (30 meters) of the panel. While a
sensor may have a range of 500 feet (152 meters) 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 and can be accomplished by the following:
• Reposition the sensor.
• Relocate the sensor.
• If necessary, replace the sensor.
To reposition a sensor, do the following:
1. Rotate the sensor and test for improved sensor communication at 90 and 180
degrees from the original position.
2. If poor communication persists, relocate the sensor.
To relocate a sensor, do the following:
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, do the following:
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.
