Introduction
The Simon XT uses wireless technology to warn your family about intrusion,
carbon monoxide and fire. The system communicates with a central monitoring
station and sends voice messages to an offsite phone.
Figure 1: Simon XT system
The security system uses sensors that communicate alarms to the control panel
using radio waves.
The system is supervised, meaning that the panel checks the status of each
sensor to detect problems. If the panel detects trouble, it will notify you with
displayed and spoken messages, beeps, and indicator lights on the panel itself.
A Simon XT installation may include any of the devices listed in Table 1 below.

Exit/entry delay
Your Simon XT provides a delay after entering or exiting your home before the
system is alarmed. Table 5 on page 11 provides details for the entry and exit
delay features.

Simon XT User Manual 11
Table 5: Entry and exit delay details
Function
Description
Entry delay
Some active sensors cause immediate alarms when tripped. Other
sensors, if enrolled in a delayed response group, start an entry
delay that lets you enter the premises and disarm the system. When
you enter your home, you will hear beeps during the entry delay. If
the system has not been disarmed by the end of the entry delay, an
alarm occurs.
The entry delay time is programmed by the installer.
No delay
If the system was armed with the no delay feature activated, there
will be no entry delay and the alarm will occur immediately.
Exit delay
The exit delay is the amount of time the system gives you toexit the
home before the system is armed. During the delay, you can vacate
the premises through a delayed response door without causing an
alarm. Beeps will sound during the exit delay. The exit delay time is
programmed by the installer.
Protest during arming
The system may protest an arming level change if certain abnormal
conditions exist. If a sensor that is active in the requested arming
level is open, the system sounds protest beeps and automatically
bypasses the open sensor (depending on the system configuration).
Exit delay
The exit delay is the amount of time the system gives you to exit the home before
the system is armed. This is programmed by the installer. After you arm the
system you will hear beeps during the exit delay. See Status beeps on page 20.
Silent exit
The silent exit feature silences the status beeps that accompany the exit delay.
See Status beeps on page 20. Press SILENT after you arm the system to silence
status beeps. The panel will still beep at the beginning and end of the exit delay.
Enabling silent exit doubles the exit delay time.
Entry delay
The entry delay is the amount of time the system gives you to disarm the system
after entering the home. This is programmed by the installer. When you enter
your home, you will hear beeps during the entry delay. See Status beeps on
page 20.
No entry delay
Use the No Delay feature when you are staying at home, for instance when you
are asleep, or when you’re away from home and will carry a wireless touchpad
that will allow you to disarm the system before opening a protected door. Check
with your installer to find out how this option is programmed.

12 Simon XT User Manual
Close all doors and windows.
Press DOORS +WINDOWS twice. If a code is required for arming, enter your
code after the first press of the DOORS +WINDOWS button, then press the
button again.
The panel displays Doors+ Windows - No Delay and speaks Doors and Windows
On, No Entry Delay. The DOORS + WINDOWS light will blink and the exit delay
will begin.
To avoid causing an alarm, you must disarm the system with a wireless touchpad
before entering your home.
Quick exit
Use the quick exit feature when someone wants to briefly leave while the home is
still armed (for instance to get the newspaper). This feature needs to be enabled
by your installer. When you press the DISARM button, the display shows Exit
Time Is On. This allows a designated exit door to be open for up to two minutes
without triggering an alarm.
The designated door may be opened and closed only once. If you close the
designated door behind you when you exit, you will have to disarm the system
upon reentering. Leave the designated door open while using the quick exit
feature.
Exit delay extension
If enabled by your installer, the Exit delay extension feature will recognize when
you arm the system, leave your house and then quickly re-enter your house
(such as you would if you forgot your car keys.) In such a case SimonXT will
restart your exit delay to give you the full exit delay again.
Bypassing sensors
Bypassing a sensor allows you to open the sensor while the system is armed.
For example, if your Doors & Windows are armed and you want to open your
kitchen window but do not want to disarm the entire system, then you can bypass
the kitchen window sensor and then open the kitchen window without causing an
alarm. Bypassed sensors are automatically unbypassed when the arming level is
changed to a level where the sensor is not active.
Bypassing
1. Press BYPASS and enter the master code.
2. Scroll up/down until you reach the sensor to be bypassed.
3. The display shows, for example, Sn 1 Front Door on the first line.

Simon XT User Manual 13
4. Press Enter to bypass (deactivate) the sensor.
5. When a sensor is bypassed, the panel displays Bypassed on the second line.
Unbypassing
1. Press BYPASS and enter the master code.
2. Scroll up/down to the sensor to be unbypassed. The sensor must be currently
bypassed.
3. Press Enter to unbypass (reactivate) the sensor.
4. The panel removes the word Bypassed from the second line of the display.
Alarms
The system provides a series of alarms that indicate an unusual occurrence.
When an alarm is active, the panel displays:
Alarm Alarm Alarm
Press Status
Alarms are canceled by entering a valid master or user code. After alarms are
canceled, the system will be disarmed.
Canceling and preventing accidental alarms
One of the biggest concerns you might have regarding your security system is
causing an accidental alarm. Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the
residence after arming the system or before disarming the system upon your
return.
There is a communicator delay (dialer delay) of 30 seconds programmed into this
panel. The panel will delay 30 seconds before dialing the central monitoring
station remote phone to send reports. You can have your installer program this
delay time between 0 and 254 seconds. To cancel an accidental alarm before the
programmed dialer delay time expires, enter your access code. The system will
display Alarm Cancel and sound beeps.
Guidelines for preventing accidental alarms
Use the following guidelines to prevent accidental alarms.
•Close doors and windows before you leave your house.
•Gather your belongings, so you can exit immediately after arming the system.
•Always enter and exit within the programmed delay times.
•Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay time set for it.
•Disarm your system immediately upon returning home.

14 Simon XT User Manual
•Be aware of the devices in your security system and learn how each one
operates.
•If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet lenses in your motion
detectors.
•Check the location of your smoke detectors. Smoke detectors near
bathrooms and kitchens can be tripped by steam and smoke from cooking.
•Make a note ofthe display, system beeps, and indicator lights that indicate
the current system status.
Light control (optional)
Simon XT lets you control lights and appliances using lamp, appliance, or
universal modules. You can:
•Turn lights with unit numbers 1 to 8 on or off manually or at a specific time.
•Turn on lights when a sensor is tripped. You can program lockout times when
sensor-activated lights won’t be active.
To turn on all of the lights that are controlled by lamp modules, press the * button
twice. The panel display will show All Lights On. To turn off all lights that are
controlled by lamp modules, press the # button twice. The panel display will show
All Lights Off. To turn on or off individual lights:
•To turn on a light with unit number N (1 to 8), press the * button, then <N>.
The panel displays and speaks Light <N> On.
•To turn off a light with unit number N (1 to 8), press the # button, then <N>.
The panel displays and speaks Light <N> Off.

Chimes
Use the Chime feature to signal when a protected door is opened while the
system is disarmed. The panel chimes twice when a chime sensor is tripped, if
the chime mode is enabled. This feature allows you to be notified when family
members are going in and out of your home. The Chime and Specialchime
features are turned on or off in the system menu. See Chime on page 29 and
Specialchime on page 30.
Note: If there are no chime sensors in your system, the Chime option will not
appear in the System menu.
Voice chime
Your installer may have programmed the system to speak the sensor name or
make a custom chime sound when a chime sensor is tripped. The chime sound,
if programmed, will be played in place of the standard chime beeps.
