Compatibility
The Z- ave module with firmware version 172 is compatible with Simon XT
and XTi panels.
Power Up
Reconnect panel battery and AC power. hen the Alarm.com Module is
connected to a powered control panel, the LEDs at the bottom of the module
will become active. It may take a few moments after power up for the LEDs
to become active. If the LEDs do not light up at all, ensure that the module
has been fully inserted into the connector beneath it then perform a full
power cycle by following these steps:
) Disconnect the battery leads and unplug the panel power transformer
from AC power.
2) Verify that the module is inserted securely.
3) Connect battery leads to the battery. On the XT, make sure to observe
polarity (red to + and black to –) and to keep the wires outside of the tab
holding them in place.
4) Plug the panel power transformer into the AC outlet.
It is important to plug the battery in before plugging in the transformer,
otherwise the panel will issue a “System Low Battery” message regardless of
the battery voltage level.
