FCC compliance
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 harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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 tocorrect 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 Part 15 registration number: B4Z-910C-SIMON.
Part 68. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the
requirements adopted by ACTA. A label on this equipment contains a product
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. You must provide this number to the
telephone company upon request.
FCC Part 68 registration number: US:B4ZAL02B55910.

The plug and jack used toconnect this equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements
adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this
product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also
compliant. See the installation instructions for details.
The REN is used todetermine 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 toan incoming call.
In most cases, 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 your local telephone company.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the identifier with the
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal
point. (For example, 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately
shown on the label.
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. 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. The telephone company may notify you in
advance, but when advance notice isn’t practical, they will notify you as soon as
possible and advise you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
The telephone company may make changes in their facilities, equipment, operations,
or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If they do, they will
notify you in advance so you can make the modifications to maintain uninterrupted
service.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone
company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state
public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for
information.
If you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact the company that
installed the equipment for service and repair information. If the equipment is causing
harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may ask you to disconnect
the equipment until the problem is resolved.

Simon XT Installation Manual 3
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the system and an outline of the steps you
need to perform before you begininstalling and configuring your security system.
Product overview
This security system can be used as a fire warning system, an intrusion alarm
system, an emergency notification system, or any combination of the three. The
system (Figure 1 below) has three types of components:
•Self-contained control panel
•Devices that report to the panel
•Devices that respond to commands from the panel
Note: The keyfob and X10 modules have not been investigated by UL.
Figure 1: Simon XT system
Note: The universal, lamp, and appliance modules require a special transformer.
The self-contained panel provides the main processing unit for all system
functions. It receives and responds to signals from wireless sensors and wireless
touchpads throughout the premises. For monitored systems, the panel can be
connected to the premises phone line for central monitoring station reporting.

4 Simon XT Installation Manual
You can program the panel onsite from the keypad or remotely using Enterprise
Downloader software. See “Programming” on page 31 for complete onsite
programming instructions.
System components
The system can monitor up to 40 sensors and may use any of the devices listed
in Table 1.
Table 1: Supported devices
Device
Description
Door/window sensor
(60-670)
For intrusion protection, install door/window sensors on all
ground-floor doors and windows. At a minimum, install then in
the following locations:
•All easily accessible exterior doors and windows.
•Interior doors leading into the garage.
•Doors to areas containing valuables.
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.
X10 module*
When the panel is powered using the line carrier power
transformer, the system can work with any of the following
modules:
•X10 lamp module (13-403)
•X10 appliance module (13-402)
•X10 power horn/remote siren module (13-398)
Freeze sensor*
(60-742)
Freeze sensors detect low temperature conditions, which may
indicate a furnace failure. The sensor contains a bimetallic
thermal switch connected to the built-in transmitter. The sensor
transmits an alarm signal to the panel when the surrounding
temperature drops to about 41ºF (5ºC). When the temperature
rises to 50ºF (10ºC), the sensor transmits a restore signal.
Water sensor*
(60-744)
Water sensors detect water leaks and rising water. The detector
is connected tothe sensor by an 8-foot cable. Water that
reaches both detector contact points activates the sensor,
causing it to transmit an alarm signal.
