FCC Notices
FCC Part 15 Information to the User
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by GE Interlogix can void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Part 15 Class B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the affected equipment and the panel receiver to separate outlets, on different branch circuits.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC ID: B4Z-787E-SIMON
ACTA Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. Located on this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration num-
ber and the ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
FCC Part 68 Registration No. B4ZUSA-27621-AL-E REN: 0.2B
The REN is used to determine the maximum number of devices that may be connected to your telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in
devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of all device RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the
REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal
point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and require-
ments as adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compliant modular
jack that is also compliant. See the Installation Instructions for details.
Alarm dialing equipment must be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in an emergency situation. It must be able to do this even if other equipment
(telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) already has the telephone line in use. To do so, alarm dialing equipment must be connected to a properly
installed RJ31X jack that is electrically in series and ahead of all other equipment attached to the same telephone line. Proper installation is depicted in the fol-
lowing diagram. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, consult your local telephone company or a qualified installer about installing an RJ31X
jack and alarm dialing equipment for you.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect your service. If possible, you will be notified in
advance. When advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. You will be
given advance notice in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
If you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact the company that installed the equipment for service and/or repair information. The telephone com-
pany may ask you to disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.

Canada Notice
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain tele-
communications network protective, operational, and safety requirements. The department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s
satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company.
The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single-
line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations
made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect
the equipment.
For your protection, make sure that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if
present, are connected together
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by
the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total
of the LNs of all the devices does not exceed 100. Load Number: .1 The term “IC:” before the certification/registration number only signifies that the
Industry Canada technical specifications were met. IC: 867A 787SIMON
“AVIS: - L ´étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est con-
forme a certaines normes de protection, d ´ exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications. Le ministère n ´ assure toutefois pas que le
matériel fonctionnera a la satisfaction de l ´ utilisateur.
Avant d ´ installer ce matériel, l ´ utilisateur doit s ´ assurer qu´ il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l ´ enterprise locale de télécommuni-
cation. Le matériel doit également etre installé en suivant une méthod acceptée de raccordement. Dans certains cas, les fils intérieurs de l´ enterprise
utilisés pour un service individuel a ligne unique peuvent etre prolongés au moyen d´ un dispositif homologué de raccordement (cordon prolongateur
téléphonique interne). L ´ abonné ne doit pas oublier qu ´ il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n ´ empechent pas le
dégradation du service dans certaines situations. Actuellement, les enterprises de télécommunication ne permettent pas que l ´ on raccorde leur maté-
riel a des jacks d ´ abonné, sauf dans les cas précis prévus pas les tarrifs particuliers de ces enterprises.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent etre effectuées pas un centre d ´ entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le fournisseur. La compagne
de télécommunications peut demander a l ´ utilisateur de débrancher un appareil a la suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l ´ utili-
sateur ou a cause de mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l ´ utilisateur doit s ´ assurer que tous les fils de mise a la terre de la source d ´ énergie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques
et des canalisations d ´´ eau métalliques, s ´ il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions
rurales.
Avertissment. - L ´ utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-meme; il doit avoir recours a un service d ´ inspection des installations
électriques, ou a electricien, selon le cas”.

Simon Security System 4
Control Panel
The control panel is the main processing unit for all system functions. It receives and
responds to signals from wireless sensors and wireless touchpads throughout the pre-
mises. For monitored systems, the panel can be connected to the premises phone line
for central monitoring station and/or pager reporting.
Two panel models are available. One has an on-board 2-way voice microphone, the
other does not. The Interrogator®200 Audio Verification Module can be added to
either panel.
User Interface
Note
ToolBox has not been inves-
tigated by UL and should not
be used to program panels
in UL listed systems.
When the panel cover is closed, the panel buttons operate the security system. The
user operates the panel by pressing panel buttons or by using a touchpad. See the User
Manual for complete operation instructions.
When the panel cover is open, the buttons program the security system. The panel can
be programmed on-site by the installer or user, or from off-site using ToolBox®soft-
ware. See the “Programming” section of this manual for complete on-site program-
ming instructions.See the ToolBox manual and ToolBox on-line help for off-site
programming instructions.
Panel Tamper
If the panel cover is opened while the system is armed, an intrusion alarm occurs.
When the system status button is subsequently pressed, the panel says System Access
Alarm.
System Devices
The system can monitor up to 24 sensors and may use any of the following:
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. Do not use
Outdoor Motion Sensors for intrusion protection.
Freeze Sensor* (60-742)
Freeze sensors detect low temperature conditions which may indicate a furnace fail-
ure. The sensor contains a bimetallic thermal switch connected to the built-in transmit-
ter. The sensor transmits an alarm signal to the panel when the surrounding
temperature drops to about 41°F. When the temperature rises to 50°F, the sensor trans-
mits 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 acti-
vates the sensor, causing it to transmit an alarm signal.

Simon Security System
5
Smoke Sensor (60-848-95)
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 fire-
places, 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.
See “Emergency Planning” and the instructions packaged with the smoke sensor for
complete placement information.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm* (60-652-95)
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.
Keychain Touchpad* (60-659)
The 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 keychain touchpads to turn all system controlled lights on and off.
ELM (Encrypted Learn Mode) Keychain Touchpad (60-832)
Note
The ELM Keychain Touch-
pad is only compatible with
Simon®3 panels version 3.3
and later.
The ELM (Encrypted Learn Mode™) 2-Button Keychain Touchpad is an alkaline bat-
tery-powered, wireless touchpad that allows users to arm and disarm their system, and
activate a police or auxiliary panic alarm. Random encrypted signal transmissions pro-
vide 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 non-medical emergency.
Dialog Touchtalk 2-Way RF Touchpad* (60-924-3)
The wall-mounted wireless Dialog Touchtalk 2-Way RF Touchpad combines a conven-
tional Learn Mode™ touchpad with an RF receiver, speech chip, and voice amplification
circuit.
Dialog RF Electronic Thermostat* (60-909-95)
The Dialog RF Electronic Thermostat provides a money saving and convenient way to
monitor and control temperatures. The thermostat uses low and high temperature limits
to save energy. Temperature limits set on the thermostat determine when the heat or air
conditioning turns on. There can be only one RF Thermostat per system.
X10 Modules*
When the panel is powered using the line carrier power transformer, the system can
work with any of the following modules:
Note
Use of X10 modules has not
been investigated by UL.
• X10 Lamp Module
• X10 Appliance Module (13-402)
• X10 Powerhorn/Remote Siren Module (13-398)
• X10 Universal Module (13-399)
Interrogator 200 Audio Verification Module* (60-787)
The Audio Verification Module (AVM) gives the central station operator the ability to
hear what’s happening at the premises during an alarm and to speak directly to the sys-
tem user. The operator can then determine how serious an alarm is, find out what kind
of help is needed, and dispatch the appropriate assistance. Only one AVM may be
installed per panel.
* Not investigated for use by UL.

Planning
Sensor Types &
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 the planning tables in “Appendix B” to determine the appropriate Sensor Type for
the sensors you will be adding. You’ll need to understand the application for each sen-
sor. For example, Keychain Touchpads are typically programmed as sensor group 01
(Portable panic), used to send an intrusion alarm to a central monitoring station. This
sensor type is instant intrusion, it does not require restoral or supervisory communica-
tion with the panel and it is active in 4 arming levels (disarm, arm doors & windows,
arm motion sensors, and arm doors/windows and motions sensors).
Device Locations
Control Panel
Locate the panel where alarm sounds can be heard and is easily accessible for opera-
tion.
Do not install the panel near a window or door where it can be reached easily by an
intruder.
Remote Handheld Touchpad
Locate Remote Handheld Touchpads where they will be convenient and offer quick
access to the user.
2-Way RF Touchpad
Locate 2-Way RF Handheld Touchpads where they will be convenient and offer quick
access to the user. They must be mounted within 600 feet of the control panel.
Keychain Touchpad
Keychain Touchpads attach to the owner’s key ring or can be conveniently carried.

X10 Modules
The system can control up to 8 individual unit numbers on Lamp, Wall switch, Appli-
ance, and Universal Modules.
House Code and Unit Numbers
Each device (lamp, appliance, etc.) controlled by the panel must have an identification
setting. The modules use two dials to set identification codes: one with letters A through
P and one with numbers 1 through 16.
The lettered dial sets the house code, which enables the system to differentiate this
home from other homes in the area. Set all modules (except the remote siren) and the
panel to the same house code.
Note
All Lamp Modules with the
same house code will turn
on or flash as a group during
an alarm or when operating
the “Light” button on a Key-
chain Touchpad.
The numbered dial sets the unit number, which identifies and lets you control a specific
device. Each device must have a unique unit number (1-8) to be individually controlled.
For example, lights and appliances operated from a Remote Handheld Touchpad or
operated by a sensor; or lights programmed to go on during the entry/exit delay or at
scheduled times.
Note
When unit numbers 9-16 are used for lamp modules, they can only be controlled by an all on
or all off command. A lamp will flash to the arming level if its unit number is set to 10. A lamp
set to unit number 10 will flash once if the panel is disarmed, twice if doors & windows are
armed, etc. The remote siren can be set to any unit number to hear alarm sounds. Set it to
unit number 9 to also hear arming level beeps, status beeps, and trouble beeps. Do not use a
lamp module to control appliances. Use an appliance module, since the wattage rating on
Lamp Modules is less than on Appliance Modules.
¾To Fill Out the Home Control Planning Table:
Note
The house code instructions
that come with the Power-
horn Siren won’t work with
this panel. Follow the house-
code instructions given here.
1. Set the house code on all modules (except the remote siren) to the same letter.
2. Set the Remote Siren house code to the next alphabetical letter. For example, if you
chose house code B in step 1 above, set the remote siren house code to C.
3. Set the module unit numbers.
Note
If you are using a Universal
Module to operate a device,
make sure to assign a
unique unit number to this
module, choosing from 1-8.
4. List the location of the lamp or appliance in the Location column of the Home Con-
trol Planning Table.
5. Write the location of each Lamp Module on an adhesive note and label the module.
6. Decide if the device should be activated by sensors, entry/exit delay, time, or a
combination. An example of sensor activation is using a motion sensor to turn on a
light. Record the information in the appropriate columns.
Use the following tables to help you further plan X10 module installation.
X10 House Code Assignments
X10 Device Settings
Lamp, Appliance, Universal Set all modules to the same house code (A
- P) except the remote sirens.
Remote Siren House code must be set to the next higher
alphabetical letter.

4. For wall mounting, insert anchors into holes where studs are not present.
5. Install all screws and tighten gently.
Connecting Hardwire Devices
The panel has 5 screw terminals located on the upper-right corner of the circuit board
(see Figure 3) for connecting AC power, sirens and/or hardwire detectors.
AC Terminals
Note
All inputs and outputs are
Class II power limited cir-
cuits.
These terminals are used for connecting a 9 VAC, 700 mA AC power transformer. For
systems with no X10 modules, use transformer part no. 22-109. For systems with X10
modules, use transformer part no. 22-TBD.
HWIN1, HWIN2, and DCOUT Terminals
These terminals are dual purpose and can be used for either siren or hardwire detector
connections.
Note
These terminals cannot pro-
vide both functions simulta-
neously.
Sirens
From the factory, these terminals are set up for siren operation with HWIN1 handling
interior sirens (status and alarm sounds), HWIN2 handling exterior sirens (alarm
sounds only), and DCOUT providing the positive (+) voltage.
Note
The total current available
from the DCOUT terminal is
250 mA at up to 122° F (50°
C).
With Option 53: Hardwire Siren Supervision turned on, sirens connected to HWIN1
and HWIN2 are supervised and require a 4.7k resistor in the circuit. If either of these
terminals is not used with Option 53 on, you must connect a 47k resistor between the
unused terminal and DCOUT.
Hardwire Detectors
To set up HWIN1 and/or HWIN2 for hardwire detectors, make the required connec-
tions as described under “Wiring Hardwire Detectors,” then proceed to the “Program-
ming” section to add (learn) them into panel memory.
Wiring Interior Sirens
Panel terminal HWIN1 can be used for connecting interior sirens and activates for sta-
tus and alarm sounds.
Mounting
Holes

Simon Security System
11
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), Option 53: Hardwire
Siren Supervision must be turned on (see the “Programming” section).
LD105 Hardwire Interior Siren
Note
Do not install the resistor at
the panel terminals. This
does not provide supervision
of the wire.
Connect the LD105 Hardwire Interior Siren (13-374) to the panel using a 4.7k resistor
(included with siren) as shown in Figure 4. The resistor must be connected across the
siren wires as close to the siren as possible.
Note
If you are installing only an
interior siren and no exterior
siren and Option 53 is on,
you must connect a 4.7k
resistor between the HWIN1
and DCOUT terminals.
Figure 4. Hardwire Interior Siren with Supervision
Wiring Exterior Sirens
Panel terminal HWIN2 can be used for connecting exterior sirens and activates when
intrusion and fire alarms occur.
Exterior sirens can be wired with or without a resistor in the circuit for supervision. For
circuit supervision which allows the panel to detect if the siren wire is cut (open),
Option 53: Hardwire Siren Supervision must be turned on (see the “Programming” sec-
tion).
Hardwire Exterior Siren with Supervision
Note
Do not install the resistor at
the panel terminals. This
does not provide supervision
of the wire.
Connect the Hardwire Exterior Siren (13-046) to the panel using a 4.7k resistor
(included with siren) as shown in Figure 5. The resistor must be connected across the
siren wires as close to the siren as possible.
Note
If you are installing only an
exterior siren and no interior
siren and Option 53 is on,
you must connect a 4.7k
resistor between the HWIN2
and DCOUT terminals.

Wiring Hardwire Contacts
Important !
Connect only normally
closed (N/C) reed switches
to HWIN1 and/or HWIN2.
Other types of hardwire
detectors should not be
used.
You can connect hardwire reed switches (normally closed loop only) to HWIN1 and/or
HWIN2, if either terminal is not being utilized for a hardwire siren.
Note
Do not install the resistor at
the panel terminals. This
does not provide supervision
of the wire.
The total resistance of the wire loop must not exceed 3 ohms. This allows you to use
up to 200 feet of 2-conductor, 22-gauge stranded wire.
Connect hardwire reed switches to the panel using a 47k resistor as shown in Figure 7.
The resistor must be connected at the last switch in the circuit.
Figure 7. Connecting Normally Closed Hardwire Reed Switches
Wiring a Phone Line to the Panel
You can connect a phone line to the panel for systems monitored by a central monitor-
ing station and/or systems that notify users by a digital pager or voice event notifica-
tion.
Basically, there are two methods for connecting the panel to a phone line; full line sei-
zure and no line seizure.

Full Line Seizure
This method requires that the panel be wired ahead (or in front) of all other phones,
answering machines, computers, or any other devices on the phone line. This allows the
panel to take over (seize) the phone line, even if another device on the line is in use.
An RJ-31X (CA-38A) jack should be installed 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.
Full Line Seizure Wiring with an RJ-31X
Note
For UL Listed systems, the
RJ-31X jack must be
mounted within 5 feet of the
panel.
1. Run a 4-conductor cable from the TELCO block to the RJ-31X (A in Figure 8).
2. Connect the 4-conductor cable wires to the RJ-31X (B in Figure 8).
3. Disconnect the Green and Red premises phone jack wires from the TELCO block
and splice them to the 4-conductor cable Black and White (or Yellow) wires (C in
Figure 8). Use weatherproof wire connectors for these splices.
4. Connect the 4-conductor cable Green and Red wires to the TELCO block TIP (+)
and Red to RING (-) posts (D in Figure 8).
Figure 8. Full Line Seizure Wiring with an RJ-31X
Full Line Seizure Wiring with 1 Premises Phone
Note
If the customer ever adds a
phone or other phone device
to another phone jack, full
line seizure no longer exists.
Inform the customer to con-
tact you if they want to add a
phone or other device so
that you can rewire for full
line seizure by adding an
RJ-31X.
If a single phone is all that exists on the premises, full line seizure can be accomplished
without an RJ-31X.
1. Disconnect the phone from the premises phone jack and plug it into the panel
PHONE jack (A in Figure 9). This jack is disconnected automatically whenever the
panel reports.
2. Connect the phone cord included with the panel to the panel LINE IN jack and the
premises phone jack (B in Figure 9).
