Complete User Setup Worksheet Before You Begin
A very important step in the installation process is deciding your 4-digit Master
Code, Duress Code, Verbal Password, Emergency Contacts, and Additional
User Codes. Please refer to User Setup on the bottom of page 5 and ll out the
USER SETUP WORKSHEET before you begin the installation process. This is
an important step for the safety of your home and family. It will also save you a

Step 6: Activate Your System
Congratulations!
Your system is now installed and ready to be activated.
Post-installation Service & Support
If you need any help or service after installing your system, call us toll-free at 1-800-951-5111.
Monitoring
When a proper user code is entered within sixty (60) seconds of an alarm activation, the system is
disarmed and a cancel code is sent automatically to the monitoring station. No further steps are
necessary and the monitoring station will not take action.
If a proper user code is not entered within sixty (60) seconds of an alarm activation, the siren will
sound and the monitoring station will take action.
If an intrusion alarm has been triggered and is not deactivated, the monitoring station will attempt
to call and verify an authorized contact. If there is no answer, if the line is busy, or if the contact
does not know the correct password, then the monitoring station will immediately notify the proper
authorities.

Simon XT User Guide
Arming/Disarming
Arming a sensor makes it active and allows the panel to generate an alarm when a door or
window is opened or when an unauthorized person enters a specic area. Disarming makes the
sensor inactive in the system.
The current arming level is shown on the panel display and changes in arming level are
announced.
Disarm (off)
1. Press DISARM, then enter your code when the panel displays Enter code.
2. The panel displays and speaks "Disarmed," the DISARM button lights up and the panel
beeps once
Arming doors and windows
1. Close all doors and windows.
2. Press DOORS+WINDOWS.
3. The panel displays Doors+Windows, speaks "Doors and Windows On" and the
DOORS+WINDOWS button lights up.
4. The panel starts an exit delay and sounds exit beeps until the exit delay time expires.
Arming motion sensors
1. Press MOTIONS.
2. The panel displays Motions, speaks "Motions On" and the MOTIONS button lights up.
3. The panel starts an exit delay and sounds exit beeps until the exit delay time expires.
Arming doors, windows and motion sensors
1. Press DOORS+WINDOWS.
2. While the panel in the process of arming, press MOTIONS.
3. The panel displays Doors+Windows & Motions, speaks "Doors and Windows On, Motions
On" and the DOORS+WINDOWS and MOTIONS buttons light up.
4. The panel starts an exit delay and sounds exit beeps until the exit delay time expires.

Simon XT User Guide
Arming/Disarming
No Entry Delay
Use the No Delay feature when you are staying at home, for instance when you are sleeping 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 nd out how this option is
programmed.
1. Close all doors and windows
2. Press DOORS+WINDOWS twice.
3. 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 time will begin.
Note: 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 briey 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 door to be
open for up to two minutes without triggering an alarm. (Must be an Entry/Exit Delay door.)
Note: The designated door can only be opened and closed once. If you close the door when you exit, the system will need to be disarmed upon re-
entry. Leave the door open during 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 Simon XT 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.
The easiest way to bypass any window sensor is to make sure your system is disarmed, then open
the window(s) you want to bypass, and then arm your system. It will automatically bypass the open
window(s) and arm the rest of the sensors.
Note: If you close the bypassed window(s), the sensor(s) will automatically become active and if opened, the alarm will be triggered.
14

Simon XT User Guide
Arming/Disarming
System Status
Press STATUS (no code is required) to cause the system to display and speak the following types
of information:
• Alarm conditions
• Alarm history
• Trouble conditions
• Open sensors
• Bypassed sensors
The STATUS button blinks when an active alarm exists. The STATUS is lit when an abnormal
condition such as a trouble or open sensor exists in the system.
You can clear certain status entries from the system (such as old alarm history) by pressing
DISARM after checking the status.
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 notied when family members are going in and out of your home. The
Chime and Special chime features are turned on or off in the system menu.
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.

If the panel loses both AC and battery power, then upon restoring power the system time will default
to midnight and blink, indicating it has been set correctly. Your installer can set your system time to
display in either 12-hour or 24-hour format.
Time of day format is HH:MMx
Where:
HH = 01 to 12 (12-hour format) or 00-23 (24-hour format)
MM = 00 to 59
x = a or p (12-hour format) or none (24-hour format)

2. Press Enter.
3. The display shows Enter Code.
4. Enter your master code with numeric keys. Press Enter.
