Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter describes the Simon XT TableTop security system features.
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.
Table 1: Simon XT TableTop Control Panel system components Component Type Control panel Touchpads Sensors Modules Description Operates and programs your security system. It communicates to you through displayed and spoken messages. The panel can communicate to a central monitoring station and send voice messages to your offsite phone. Remote handheld Controls the security system primarily from within the home. Simon XT TableTop touchpad Controls the security system from within the home.
Communicating with your system You can send commands or instruct your security system through a series of keypresses on the panel, touchpads, or a remote telephone. Table 2: System communication devices Device Description Control panel You can enter commands for your security system through simple keypresses on the panel. Depending on how your system is programmed, you may need to enter an access code for certain commands.
Chapter 2 Using the control panel This chapter provides instructions for operating your security system.
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.
Table 3: Panel keys and features Control Description Piezo siren The piezo siren makes alarm beeps and status beeps. Fire and intrusion alarm beeps are always played at high volume, while the volume of status beeps (such as trouble or chime beeps, entry and exit delay beeps, or auxiliary alarm beeps) is programmable. LCD display The LCD module has a 2 x 16 character array that displays a variety of phrases and icons. Doors+Windows Press to arm perimeter sensors.
Control Description # Lights off. Standard text display While the panel is idle, the following text displays: Display line 1 Arming level Display line 2 HH:MMx (Time) and status icons Arming level text could be one of the following: • • • • • Level Level Level Level Level 0 - Subdisarmed 1 - Disarmed 2 - Doors + Windows 3 - Motions 4 - Doors + Windows and Motions The phrase – No Delay is appended to the arming level when no entry delay is active.
• • • • Fire, Police, and Emergency buttons Bypassing sensors Chime Latchkey Things you can do The panel features provide you with the ability to perform the following functions: • Arm perimeter (windows and doors) and interior (motion) sensors to indicate intruders. • Control lights to be turned on and off at a set time or if an intruder is detected. • Use one button to send quick response alerts to the central monitoring station.
Leve Function l Description 3 Arm motion sensors— interior This level allows you to arm the interior motion sensors, while leaving the exterior door and window sensors disarmed. 4 Arm doors/windows and motion sensors—both This level allows you to arm all sensors. Arming/disarming Arming a sensor makes it active and allows the panel to generate an alarm when a door or window is opened, or when an unauthorized person enters a specific area. Disarming makes the sensor inactive in the system.
Arming motion sensors To arm the motion sensors, do the following: 1. Press Motions, then enter your code when the panel displays Enter code, if a code is required. 2. The panel displays Motions, speaks Motions on, and the Motions button lights. 3. The panel starts an exit delay and sounds exit beeps in groups of three until the exit delay expires. Arming doors, windows, and motion sensors To arm the doors, windows, and motion sensors, do the following: 1.
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: The designated door may be opened and closed only once. If you close the designated door behind you when you exit, you will have to disarm the system upon reentering. Leave the designated door open while using the quick exit feature. Exit delay extension If enabled by your installer, the exit delay extension feature will recognize when you arm the system, leave your house and then quickly re-enter your house (such as you would if you forgot your car keys.
Alarms The system provides a series of alarms that indicate an unusual occurrence. When an alarm is active, the panel displays: Alarm Alarm Alarm Press Status Alarms are canceled by entering a valid master or user code. After alarms are canceled, the system will be disarmed. Canceling and preventing accidental alarms One of the biggest concerns you might have regarding your security system is causing an accidental alarm.
Light control (optional) The panel lets you control lights and appliances using lamp, appliance, or universal modules. You can: • Turn lights with unit numbers 1 to 8 on or off manually or at a specific time. • Turn on lights when a sensor is tripped. You can program lockout times when sensor-activated lights won’t be active. To turn on all of the lights that are controlled by lamp modules, press the * button twice. The panel display will show All Lights On.
Latchkey Use the latchkey feature to notify you, via a remote phone, if a family member does not arrive home at a predetermined time and disarm the system. When this feature is active, a latchkey alarm is reported if the premises are not disarmed by the programmed latchkey time. For example, if you set the latchkey time for 3:00 p.m. and the system is not disarmed by that time a message is sent to your remote phone. The latchkey feature can be activated during arming if a latchkey time is programmed.
If you are interacting with your panel and the panel hangs up on you, the system is calling in a report to the central monitoring station or remote phone due to an action by you or someone at the security system site. The actions listed in Table 6 below may be performed from an offsite phone.
Figure 3: Remote handheld touchpads Handheld touchpad Simon XT TableTop Touchpad Keyfob If your installer programmed the keyfob with no entry delay, and you armed the system with the keyfob, you must disarm your system before entering the home to avoid causing an alarm. Caution: To avoid causing false alarms, check with your installer on how your touchpad options are programmed.
Note: Panic alarms need to be silenced from the panel, a remote handheld touchpad, or another keyfob. They cannot be silenced from the same keyfob that activated the alarm. - - Hold both for 3 seconds Lock Press once to arm doors and windows. Lock Press twice to arm doors, windows, and motion sensors. Lock Press three times to arm doors, windows, motion sensors, and to activate the latchkey option.
Chapter 3 How your system communicates Your system responds to you through the use of display and voice messages, status beeps, alarms, and panel indicator lights.
Status beeps The panel sounds status beeps to alert you to various system events and conditions (see Table 7 below). Note: You may receive a different number of status beeps if you press the buttons quickly. Table 7: Status beeps Activity Beep response Doors+Windows Exit delay and Entry delay beeps sound two times every five seconds and two times per second during the last ten seconds. If silent exit is used, the exit delay beeps will only sound twice when you arm and twice when the exit delay expires.
Activity Beep response Beep response Beep response Interior and panel siren Temporal 3 a Steady Fast on/off Exterior siren a Steady Temporal 3 a> Temporal 3 refers to a continuous pattern of three siren pulses, then off for 1.5 seconds, three siren pulses, then off for 1.5 seconds. Panel indicator lights Use Table 9 below to understand the panel indicator lights.
• Communication troubles with the central monitoring station When your security system detects one of the problems above, six rapid beeps sound every minute until the trouble condition is corrected. To stop the trouble beeps, press Status or arm/disarm the system while the trouble condition exists. Trouble beeps will resume four hours later unless the trouble condition is corrected.
You may need to call your security system dealer to resolve this problem. Some sensor batteries can be replaced by the homeowner. Fail-to-communicate This condition occurs if your security system cannot communicate to the central monitoring station. Your system will try to report to the central monitoring station eight times before it tells you there is a fail-to-communicate problem. Trouble beeps will start and the Status button will light.
Chapter 4 Programming This chapter describes how to program your system. It will guide you through programming instructions for system features.

Appendix A Reference information This appendix provides a list of system limitations, emergency planning, floorplan, and a quick reference command table.
alarm system limitations Not even the most advanced alarm system can guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or environmental problems. All alarm systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. • If sirens are not placed within hearing range of persons sleeping, in remote parts of the premises, or if they are placed behind doors or other obstacles. • If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry or areas where sensors have been bypassed.
• Know the normal state of doors and windows: open, closed, or locked. • Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack.) • Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to the touch. • Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to help reduce smoke inhalation during your escape. • Meet at a designated outdoor location. • Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if there is a fire. • Notify the fire department from a neighbor’s phone.
Note: Do not mount the alarm to the metal runners of suspended ceiling grids. The metal runners can draw the magnet’s field away from the alarm’s reed switch and cause a false tamper alarm. Figure 5: Smoke detector locations Your floorplan Use the following guidelines when drawing your floorplan: • • • • Show all building levels. Show exits from each room (two exits per room are recommended). Show the location of all security system components.
