Simon XT Installation Manual Opening panel cover and chassis Tabs at the top of the panel secure and release the front cover and the chassis. The plastic hinges on the panel bottom allow the cover and chassis to swing down and out of the way (Figure 3). Figure 3.
Chapter 3 Installing the system Mounting the panel To mount the panel on a wall, do the following: 1. Choose a panel location. 2. Run all necessary power, phone, siren, and hardwired contact wires to the desired panel location. Note: When choosing the AC outlet location for the AC power transformer, make sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch or that it is not part of a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI). 3. Hold the panel against the wall and mark the mounting hole locations with a pencil. 4.
24 Simon XT Installation Manual Connecting hardwired devices The panel has seven screw terminals and two telephone connections (Figure 5). The screw terminals connect AC power, sirens, and/or hardwired detectors. Program sensors and devices before you install them. Follow the instructions in to add the sensors to panel memory. Figure 5.
Chapter 3 Installing the system LD105 hardwired interior siren Interior sirens must always be wired with a resistor in the circuit. For circuit supervision which allows the panel to detect if the siren wire is cut (open), Hardwired Siren Supervision must be turned on. (See on page 33). 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.
Simon XT Installation Manual Note: Do not install the resistor at the panel terminals. This does not provide supervision of the wire. Figure 7.
Chapter 3 Installing the system Wiring a phone line to the panel 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.

Minimum beeps Type of sensor Number of beeps Wireless intrusion sensors 7–8 Wireless smoke and heat sensors 7–8 Wireless environmental/panic buttons 7–8 Hardwired loops 1 Emergency buttons (remote handheld touchpads only) 7-8 4. Press STATUS. The panel displays Sensor Test Ok. 5. If you press STATUS and the panel has not heard from all sensors, the panel will display Sn test fail or aborted.
Chapter 5 Testing Phone communication Perform a communication test to check the phone communication between the panel and the central station. To perform a communication test: 1. Go to the Comm test option under the System tests menu. 2. Press Enter. The panel confirms that a communication test has begun. When the communication test is complete, the panel will display Comm test is OK within 3 minutes.
64 Simon XT Installation Manual Central station communication After performing sensor and communication tests, check that the system is reporting alarms successfully to the central station. Table 33 provides a list of sensor/user report codes. To test communication with the central station: 1. Call the central station and tell the operator that you will be testing the system. 2. Arm the system. 3. Test each of the wireless panic buttons and trip at least one sensor of each type (fire, intrusion, etc.
Chapter 5 Testing Two-way voice operation For the central station operator to initiate an audio session: Note: Panel voice announcements are silenced during AVM sessions. If the operator does not terminate the session correctly, panel announcements may not occur for up to 90 seconds after the operator hangs up. 1. After the panel has completed reporting the alarm, pick up the CS phone and press the * button to start the audio session. 2. Press 1 or 0 to speak, 2 for VOX operation, and 3 or 6 to listen. 3.
