Security system components
The Simon XT TableTop Control Panel uses wireless technology to warn your
family about intrusion, carbon monoxide, and fire. It may also be used to control
lights and appliances within your home. The system communicates with a central
monitoring station and sends voice messages to an offsite phone.
Figure 1: Simon XT TableTop Control Panel system
Note: The universal, lamp, and appliance modules require a special transformer.
The security system uses sensors that communicate alarms to the control panel
using radio waves.
The system is supervised, meaning that the panel checks the status of each
sensor to detect problems. If the panel detects trouble, it will notify you with
displayed and spoken messages, beeps, and indicator lights on the panel itself.
A Simon XT TableTop Control Panel installation may include any of the devices
listed in Table 1 on page 3.

Panel controls
You can operate the self-contained security system through several different
methods:
• The panel buttons provide a means of arming and disarming the system when
you enter or exit your home. These buttons also provide a method for
determining which sensors are active and determining system status.
• A set of three fast action keys provide immediate communication with the
central monitoring station to report police, fire, or auxiliary alarms.
• The more complex operating functions are achieved using a combination of
the panel buttons and a display menu. This method is used by your installer
to establish your system configuration. You can use this method to program
certain user features. See Menu navigation on page 25.

Function
Description
Entry delay
Some active sensors cause immediate alarms when tripped. Other sensors, if
enrolled in a delayed response group, start an entry delay that lets you enter the
premises and disarm the system. If the system has not been disarmed by the end
of the entry delay, the alarm occurs.
No delay
If the system was armed with the no delay feature activated, there will be no entry
delay and the alarm will occur immediately.
Exit delay
When the user arms the system, an exit delay starts. During the delay the user
can vacate the premises through a delayed response door without causing an
alarm.
Protest
during
arming
The system may protest an arming level change if certain abnormal conditions
exist. If a sensor that is active in the requested arming level is open, the system
sounds protest beeps and automatically bypasses the open sensor (depending on
system configuration).
Arming motion sensors

Exit/entry delay
The panel provides a delay after entering or exiting your home before the system
is alarmed. Table 5 below provides details for the entry and exit delay features.
Table 5: Entry and exit delay details
Simon XT TableTop Control Panel User Manual 11
Exit delay
The exit delay is the amount of time the system gives you to exit the home before
the system is armed. This is programmed by the installer. After you arm the
system you will hear beeps during the exit delay. See Status beeps on page 20.
Silent exit
The silent exit feature silences the status beeps that accompany the exit delay.
See Status beeps on page 20. Press Silent after you arm the system to silence
status beeps. The panel will still beep at the beginning and end of the exit delay.
Note: Enabling silent exit doubles the exit delay time.
Entry delay
The entry delay is the amount of time the system gives you to disarm the system
after entering the home. This is programmed by the installer. When you enter
your home, you will hear beeps during the entry delay. See Status beeps on
page 20.
No entry delay
Use the no delay feature when you are staying at home, for instance when you
are asleep, or when you’re away from home and will carry a wireless touchpad
that will allow you to disarm the system before opening a protected door. Check
with your installer to find out how this option is programmed.
To use the no entry delay, do the following:
1. Close all doors and windows.
2. Press Doors+Windows twice. If a code is required for arming, enter your code
after the first press of the Doors+Windows button, then press the button
again.
3. The panel displays Doors+Windows - No Delay and speaks Doors and
windows on, no entry delay. The Doors+Windows light will blink and the exit
delay will begin.
Note: To avoid causing an alarm, you must disarm the system with a wireless
touchpad before entering your home.
Quick exit
Use the quick exit feature when someone wants to briefly leave while the home is
still armed (for instance to get the newspaper). This feature needs to be enabled
by your installer. When you press the Disarm button, the display shows Exit Time
Is On. This allows a designated exit door to be open for up to two minutes
without triggering an alarm.
