Install alarm hardwire inside control panel
For Simon XT panels, connect the daughterboard alarm wire. When using the Simon XT panel, it is required to connect
the included blue alarm wire from the HW hardwire output located on the daughterboard (use HW, do not use C) to the
HW2 IN (terminal 3) slot on the Simon XT panel to enable local alarm activations.
Note: f using a module with firmware version 187+, the HW hardwire output is located on the Simon XT cellular module
to connect to the HW2 IN (terminal 3) slot on the Simon XT panel. nsert the blue alarm wire in the side where HW is
labeled.
Once an mage Sensor has been enrolled into the Simon XT panel, a hardwire zone is automatically programmed as
Sensor 39: ISHW. To ensure alarms are tripped properly on mage Sensors according to their enrolled group, the
hardwire sensor group is automatically configured. Do not alter the sensor group of Sensor 39 SHW.
On the Simon XT, the panel screen displays Sensor 39: ISHW Alarm regardless of which mage Sensor tripped the
alarm. The Alarm.com Website and notifications, and the monitoring station report indicates the specific mage Sensor
that tripped the alarm.
Note: On the Simon XTi panel, the blue alarm hardwire is not required and should not be connected.

Route daughterboard antenna
t is important to verify that the daughterboard antenna is pulled away from the Alarm.com module. Follow the panel-
specific antenna routing guidelines to optimize sensor range.
For the Simon XT, the antenna should be pulled down off the Alarm.com module and routed in a J shape to the left
towards the corner of the panel when looking at the panel from behind.
Register module and test
Power up the panel and initiate a communication test to ensure the Alarm.com module is properly installed and
communicating with Alarm.com. For information about performing a communication test, see Send a communication test
from an nterlogix Simon XT.

information about enrolling mage Sensors remotely, see Enroll an mage Sensor on an nterlogix Simon XT.
To enroll the mage Sensor locally on a Simon XT:
Important: For smoothest installation, learn in one mage Sensor at a time. nsert batteries only after initiating learn
mode at the panel.
1. Begin with the batteries removed from the mage Sensor.
2. Put the panel into add mode using the keypad.
a. Go to the home screen.
b. Scroll to System Programming, then press [OK].
c. Enter the installer code (default is 4321), then press [OK].
d. Scroll to Interactive Services, then press [OK].
e. Scroll to Image Sensor Setup, then press [OK].
f. Scroll to Image Sensor Learn Mode, then press [OK]. The screen should display Power up or set I. S. Mode.
3. nsert the batteries into the mage Sensor. The LED on the mage Sensor progresses from blinking red to solid red
to blinking yellow. This indicates the mage Sensor is in learn mode.
4. Wait approximately 20 seconds for the mage Sensor to enroll to the panel. The screen on the panel displays the
following: I.S. [x] Added as Sensor [y]. The LED on the mage Sensor turns solid yellow indicating that it has
successfully found the panel.
5. After the mage Sensor LED has turned solid yellow, exit Add Mode on the panel. The mage Sensor LED
alternates between green and yellow while the customer’s device list is updated with Alarm.com. The LED turns
solid green when the mage Sensor has been successfully added to the customer’s account.
Note: f the mage Sensor is moved (tampered) after the LED has turned solid green, the mage Sensor enters test
mode for three minutes which is indicated by a red LED when motion is detected. Continue with the mounting
portion of the installation when in test mode. See the mage Sensor LED Reference Chart for more details.
6. After enrollment, be sure to keep the sensor and panel powered so the sensor can complete an initialization
process with the Alarm.com Network Operations Center. This process takes several minutes. mages cannot be
captured until initialization is complete. Check by verifying if the rules are confirmed on the Partner Portal or
MobileTech app.
The sensor is now learned into the panel. Sensors are enrolled in group 17 by default. To change the sensor group, use
the Sensors menu in Programming. mage Sensors may be enrolled in groups 15, 17, or 25. (No chime issued for group
25)
Note: Alarm.com does not recommend using sensor group 20 for mage Sensor nstallations.
Installation: Mounting Image Sensor
1. Choose the desired location and mounting angle for the mage Sensor using the information in the chart. There are
three options:

Do Don't
▪ Center the target capture area in the middle of
the frame.
▪ Enroll and install within 100 ft. of panel.
nstallation site conditions can reduce range
considerably.
▪ Make sure people will walk across the sensor
coverage area instead of directly toward the
sensor.
▪ Avoid backlit conditions (for example, facing a
window or other light source) because it may
result in poor image quality.
▪ Set sensor on a flat surface.
▪ Set sensor across from mirrors or reflective
surfaces.
▪ Face sensor toward or close to areas that have
metallic objects or electronics (to avoid
interference with RF communication).
▪ nstall in an area where there are obstructions
in front of or around the camera lens (for
example, walls and ceilings within 90 degrees
and 2 ft. around the camera). This type of
installation will result in washed out night
captures.
▪ nstall outdoors. Sensor is for indoor use only.
4. Choose applicable mounting bracket. The sensor hardware packet contains two mounting brackets for different
mounting scenarios. Use the provided large screws and anchors to attach the bracket to the wall. Leave at least 3
inches of clearance above the sensor to allow for battery replacement without uninstalling the mounting bracket.
5. Place and secure the mage Sensor on the arm and secure the arm on the mounting bracket in the desired
location. Adjust the horizontal positioning of the sensor to point towards the desired coverage area.
6. Secure the mounting arm location by sliding lock pin into the hole. Use the washer and remaining small screw to
secure the lock pin by screwing upwards through the bottom of the hole in the mounting bracket.

7. Set the P R Sensitivity Settings using the panel or remotely using the Partner Portal or MobileTech app. For
information about setting the P R Sensitivity Settings, see Change mage Sensor sensitivity.
The following three options can be set:
Normal Default setting
High More sensitive motion profile with potential higher risk
of false alarm.
Low Less sensitive profile with pet immunity for pets up to
40 lbs.
Verify and test Image Sensor setup
1. Verify that rules are confirmed via the Partner Portal or on MobileTech app.
◦ Look for the word Yes in the mage Sensor Equipment List in the Rules Confirmed section. Resend rules if
they are not confirmed.
2. Verify RF Coverage by checking that the signal strength is above 40%. The signal strength must be greater than
30% for sensor to function properly.
3. Conduct a walk test and test image captures.
◦ To conserve the customer’s monthly image upload quota, automatic alarm uploads are disabled for the first
four hours after any new sensor ( mage Sensor or other) is installed into the system. nstallers can also test by
requesting image uploads and motion image uploads via MobileTech app. nstallers are required to be onsite
to test by running a comm test at the panel.
4. Test night image captures by darkening the room as much as possible (turn off the lights and close the shades).

Other feature compatibility
Simon XT 2WTTS compatibility
When using a Two Way Talking Touchscreen with the Simon XT panel, mage Sensor activity is not reported or visible
on the touchscreen, except in alarms. When alarms are tripped on an enrolled mage Sensor, the alarms are reported
and displayed on the 2WTTS through the sensor 39 hardwire zone. Periodic activations on hardwire zone 39 appear on
the touchscreen as a result of the hardwire supervisions.
Two-Way Voice compatibility
mages cannot be transmitted while a Two-Way Voice call is in session. When the mage Sensor is installed on a
system with Two-Way Voice over the cellular network, image transmission during an alarm may be interrupted by the
two-way session. The image transmission resumes once the call has terminated.
Pet immunity settings
Two parts to making the mage Sensor pet immune:
1. Set P R sensitivity settings to Low.
2. Mount set at a height of 6 feet, and install the sensor with the 6 degree mounting angle.
PIR activation and test mode
By default, the image sensor LED does not illuminate when activated by motion unless the sensor is in test mode. The
LED can be enabled by tampering the device or on the panel for each mage Sensor on a customer’s account. The
mage Sensor must have successfully completed the enrollment process with a panel. When enabled, the red LED
illuminates for 3 seconds upon motion activations (at most every 3 minutes while disarmed).
To test the Image Sensor's PIR using the panel:
1. Scroll to System Programming, then press [OK].
2. Enter the installer code (default is 4321), then press [OK].
3. Scroll to Interactive Services, then press [OK].
4. Scroll to Image Sensor Setup, then press [OK].
5. Scroll to Image Sensor Settings, then press [OK].
6. Scroll to the I.S. Zone # to test, then press [OK].
7. Scroll to Test PIR, then press [OK]. The screen displays I.S. [y] in test for next 3 min to indicate the test mode
command has been sent.
Note: t may take up to 30 seconds for test mode to take effect after requesting Test PIR at the panel.
