Introduction
The CDMA Module V4 for Simon XT and XTi enables wireless
reporting of all alarms and other system events from the Interlogix
Simon XT & XTi control panel using the CDMA wireless (cellular)
network. The module can be used as the primary communication
path for all alarm signaling, or as a backup to a telephone line
connection to the central monitoring station. The wireless alarm
signaling and routing service is operated by Alarm.com. The V4
module also features integrated support for Alarm.com’s
emPowerTM solution with built-in Z-Wave capabilities.
The module interfaces with the Simon XT/XTi panels, fits into a
special compartment inside the panel, and is powered by the control
panel and panel battery.

Intended Use
Use this product only for the purpose it was designed for;
refer to the data sheet and user documentation.
Installation
Installation consists of inserting the module into the panel, attaching
the antenna, and performing a CDMA phone test at the panel.
Before affixing the panel to a wall, verify the CDMA signal level
at the installation location. On the XT panel, press and hold the
5 Key for 10 seconds to view the signal level. On the XTi panel,
enter ‘Programming’ ‘Interactive Services’ ‘Modules
Status’. With either panel, module LED L4 blinks to indicate
signal strength. (See Tables 1-3 for LED details.) An installation
location with a sustained signal level of two or more bars is
recommended.
Do not exceed the panel total output power when using panel
power for the CDMA module, hardwired sensors, and /or
sirens. Refer to the specific panel installation instructions for
details.
Only one Alarm.com CDMA module can be used per panel.
Avoid mounting the panel in areas with excessive metal or
electrical wiring, such as furnace or utility rooms.
Leave 12 to 18 in. of open space around the module antenna.
Do not install the control panel and module in a basement or
other below-ground location. Doing so will negatively impact
CDMA signal strength.
Tools and supplies needed
You will need the following tools and supplies:
•Small flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers
•Screws (included)
•Antenna (included)
Module Insertion and Antenna Installation
Before installing the module, disconnect the battery and AC power
from the panel.
1. Open the panel by pressing the two tabs (Figure 1 below) on
the top of the XT or by lifting the tabs on the XTi panel.
Figure 1: Top view Simon XT and XTi panels
2. The module compartment can be found behind the front panel
that swings down, to the left of the battery compartment as
seen in Figure 2 below.
Figure 2: Module compartment
3. Push antenna end into module connector to snap the antenna
onto the module. The module must be seated correctly
beneath the two small, plastic corner tabs to ensure it fits into
the compartment properly.
4. Insert the module by angling the end of the module where the
antenna is attached downwards, making sure that the edge of
the module sits below the plastic tabs. Once the module is
seated evenly, carefully push the bottom of the module into
the 8-pin connector beneath it.
5. Thread the antenna’s wire through the channel in the bottom
of the panel. This antenna can then be inserted into the wall
behind the panel. The antenna should be placed at least 3 feet

away from the panel, and in order to obtain optimal reception
the antenna should be affixed as high up as possible.
Power Up
Reconnect panel battery and AC power. When a CDMA module is
connected to the control panel, the LEDs at the bottom of the
module will become active (see Table 1 below). 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:
1. Disconnect the battery leads and unplug the panel power
transformer from AC power.
2. Verify that the module is inserted securely and that the
antenna is snapped-in completely.
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 AC
transformer, otherwise the panel will issue a “System Low Battery”
message regardless of the battery voltage level.
CDMA Phone Test (Module Registration)
To initiate module communication with Alarm.com and the
CDMA network the first time, perform a “CDMA phone test”.
To perform the phone test on a Simon XT:
1. Scroll Down through the control panel menu until it displays
“System Tests” and Press “OK” (on XT version 1.2).
2. Enter the installer code (default 4-3-2-1), then “OK” (on XT
version 1.2).
3. Scroll down until the panel displays “Comm Test” and “OK” (
on XT version 1.2). The panel will display “CDMA Comm Test in
progress” to indicate the test has been initiated.
To perform the phone test on a Simon XTi:
1. Press the Status & Settings icon on the lower right of the
home screen.
2. Scroll Down and press “Programming”.
3. Enter the installer code (default 4-3-2-1), then “OK”.
4. Press “System Tests”.
5. Press “Comm Test”. The panel will display “CDMA Comm Test
in progress” to indicate the test has been initiated.
The Simon XT/XTi panel will let you know when the CDMA Phone
Test has completed by displaying “CDMA Test signal sent OK” on the
panel screen. This indicates that Alarm.com has received and
acknowledged the signal. This does not guarantee that the signal
went through to a central station; it confirms that the Alarm.com
Operations Center received the signal. The central station should be
contacted directly to verify that the signal was received on the
correct account and that the Central Station routing settings have
been set up correctly. The signal may not go through to the central
station if (a) the Central Station Account settings were entered
incorrectly on the Alarm.com Dealer Site or (b) if Alarm.com was
unable to send the signal successfully to the Central Station
receivers. In these cases the panel will show a “Fail to
Communicate” message.
Panel Settings Automatically Changed with CDMA module
Some panel settings are changed automatically when the CDMA
module is connected to the control panel. These settings should not
be altered by the installer. They are:
Sensor/Zone 40: Upon initial module power up, the panel
recognizes and learns the CDMA module as sensor/zone 40 and
assigns “CDMA Module” as the sensor/zone name. Any device
previously residing in panel memory as sensor/zone 40 is
automatically deleted and must be learned into panel memory using
any available sensor/zone number between 01 and 39.
Clock: The CDMA module sets the panel clock when it connects to
Alarm.com and then updates it every 18 hours. It is important to
select the correct panel time zone on the Alarm.com website, or the
panel time will not be accurate. If a system is powered up before the
customer account has been created, the time zone will default to
Eastern Time.
Troubleshooting: LEDs
Status LEDs indicate network and module status. Figure 4below
shows the location of the status LEDs on the CDMA module.
Figure 3: Status LEDs
Table 1 below describes the LED functions.

The module provisioning process could not be
completed.
2 then 5
The module provisioning process could not be
completed because the module is currently roaming on
the carrier’s network.
3
The module is trying to register on the CDMA network. If
it persists for more than a few minutes, the module is
having problems registering. Check L4 for signal level. If
signal level is lower than 2 “bars”, change the panel’s
location or use a remote antenna option.
4
The module is registered on the CDMA network but
could not connect with Alarm.com. Contact Alarm.com
Technical Support.
5

AC power failure, and the battery level is low. The module will
connect to Alarm.com to send a signal, but otherwise is in a state
that draws almost no power.
Improving wireless signal strength
Guidelines for optimal wireless signal strength:
• Install the module above ground level, as high up as possible
within the structure.
• Install the module near or adjacent to an outside-facing wall of
the structure.
• Do not install the module inside a metal structure or close to
large metal objects or ducts.
• Make sure to follow the antenna positioning guidelines that are
included with the antenna. Certain antennas must be oriented a
specific way in order to receive signals.
• Upgrade the antenna. If using the 1/4 wave antenna included
with the CDMA module, upgrade to a remote cable antenna.
Contact Alarm.com technical support for antenna options.
As you make changes to the module location or antenna to improve
signal strength, request updated signal readings to verify changes.
To request an updated reading, press and hold the “5” key for 10
seconds on the XT or press the ‘Refresh’ button in the “Module
Status” menu on the XTi.
