							Introduction 
The Simon XTi 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. 
The security system uses sensors that communicate alarms to the control panel 
using radio waves. The system is superv ised, 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. A Simon XTi 
installation may include any of the devices listed in  Table 1 below . 
Table 1: Simon XTi system components 
Component Type Description

							Table 2: System communication devices   
Device Description 
Control panel You can enter commands for yo ur security system using the graphical 
user interface on the panel. Depending on how your system is 
programmed, you may need to enter an access code for certain 
commands. An access code is a numeric code that allows authorization 
to operate your security system. 
Simon XT talking touch 
screen  The two-way talking touch screen is a wireless device that provides a 
graphical user interface that allows you to: arm the system (doors, 
windows, and motion sensors), disarm the system, activate a panic alarm 
to call the central monitoring station in an emergency, check system 
status, and turn system controlled lights on or off, all while providing voice
 
feedback. The touch screen also prov
ides trouble beeps, entry/exit beeps 
and alarm sounds (Panic, Police, or Fire).  
Key fob Key fobs are handy for simple ar ming and disarming control functions. 
They are portable and can be carried offsite in a purse or pocket. 
Telephone  Touchtone telephones can be used to communicate with your system 
while you are offsite. Ask your installer if you have this feature. 
Note:  The default master code is 1-2-3-4 when  the security system is shipped from 
the factory. You should change your co de after your system is installed.  
						

							Using the Simon XTi security system 
You can operate the self-contained security system through several different 
methods: 
•  Use the main screen icons to arm/disarm  the system when you enter or exit your 
home, check system status, and to  determine which sensors are active. 
•  Use the emergency screen to communicate  with the central monitoring station to 
report emergency panic, police, or fire alarms. 
•  From the home screen, pr ess the Status & Settings 
 icon to program certain 
user features. (See  System configuration  on page 21 ). 
Note : Up

on initial installation, the battery ma y not be fully charged for as long as 
36 hours. A low battery icon will be pres ent and trouble beeps will sound until the 
battery is sufficiently charged. After the  initial charge, should the panel lose AC 
Power and experience a low battery condit ion, the icon will appear and trouble 
beeps will sound unless silenced. You can silence trouble beeps by:  
  •  Arming or disarming the system.  
  or  
  •  Pressing the STATUS & SETTINGS icon  and pressing LISTEN next to Panel 
 Status.  
This will disable the sounder for 4 hours but the trouble indication will remain until 
the battery is recharged.  
Contact your installer to  replace your backup battery. 
This system is intended to be checked by  a qualified technician at least once every 3 
years. 
Panel controls 
The self-contained panel provides the us er interface for system operation and 
programming system functions.

Designer template 
The designer template is the adhesive-backe d plastic template that covers the front 
of the Simon XTi panel. 
Caution:  The designer template and its installati on are integral parts to the reliability 
of the system. Contact your security system installer to replace the designer 
template. 
Main touch screen display 
While the panel is idle, the screen displays:  
						

							Table 4: Main screen icons 
 Access the emergency screen to sele
ct the appropriate emergency icon 
(Panic, Police, or Fire). 
Time  The current system time 
 Depicts the status of the AC power and backup battery. A red power cord 
represents loss of AC power to the system. A green power cord icon 
represents AC power to the system. A red battery icon represents battery low. 
A green battery icon represents a fully charged battery. 
Note
: These icons only appear in red on th e main screen if the backup battery 
is not fully charged or the AC power is not working correctly. It is 
recommended that the  backup battery be replaced every 3-5 years. Contact 
your installer to replace the backup battery. 
  This yellow triangle indicates faults within the system. 
 
 
 Depicts monitored door status. A green check indicates all monitored doors 
are closed. A red exclamation point indicates one or more doors are open.
 N/A 
indicates your system is not configured to support door sensors. 
 
 
 
Depicts monitored window status. A green check indicates all monitored 
windows are closed. A red exclamation point indicates one or more windows 
are open. N/A indicates your system is not configured to support window 
sensors. 
 
 
 
Depicts motion detected by the motion sensors in your home. A green check 
indicates no recent motion detected. 
A red exclamation point indicates motion
 
was detected within the last 10 minutes. A typical use for this feature would 
be to have a touch screen in the garage to see if movement is detected in the 
home before you enter the home. N/A indicates your system is not configured 
to support motion sensors. 
 
 
 Depicts other changes to protected property in your system. For example 
activation of a water sensor, freeze sensor, or the movement of protected 
items. A green check indicates no change since the last time you visited (for 
movement of a protected item) and all sensors are closed (water or freeze 
sensors). A red exclamation point indicates either a sensor is tripped or there is
 
unacknowledged activity. N/A indicates your system is not configured to 
support property sensors.  
						

							 
 
 
 Depending on the current arming state of your machine, one of these icons 
will be displayed. Press the ARM icon to access the Arming Screen. Press a 
DISARM icon, and provide a valid access code, to disarm your system. 
Note
: When disarming the system, only intrusion/burglary sensors are 
disarmed. Environmental sensors, such as smoke and carbon monoxide 
detectors, stay active at all times. 
Note : Depending on your configuration, the Motions Only icon may not 
appear.  
  Press to access the settings screen. 
Simon XTi features 
The Simon XTi features provide you with the 
ability to perform the following functions: 
•  Arm perimeter (doors and windows) and interior (motion) sensors to indicate  intruders. 
•  Use the emergency screen to send quick re sponse alerts to the central monitoring 
station. 
•  Access the system from a key fob (s imilar to the one used for your car). 
•  Access the system from  a remote telephone. 
•  Disable sensors so you can leave a wind ow open while the system is armed. 
•  Get an audio alert when a protected door  is opened while the system is disarmed. 
•  Get an audio alert if movement of a  protected asset is detected (group 43). 
Cross-zoning 
Cross z
 oning (two-trip) refers to two different motion sensors that must be tripped 
within two minutes of each other to re port an alarm to the central station. Figure 2 on 
page 7  shows the path of a person walking from the kitch
 en to the living room. When 
the person is detected walking through the ki tchen, the motion sensor in the kitchen 
is tripped, sounding a local alarm. If moti on is detected by the living room motion 
sensor within two minutes, an alarm report  will be sent to the central station. 
Note : Contact your installer for more information.
