							How your system communicates 
Your system communicates by using status beeps, alarm sirens, panel screen 
messages, and trouble beeps. 
Status beeps 
The panel sounds status beeps to alert you to various system events and conditions. 
Note:  You may receive a different number of  status beeps if you press the icons 
quickly. 
Table 9: Status beeps 
Activity Beep response 
Doors+Windows  Exit delay and entry delay beeps sound two times every 5 seconds 
and two times per second during the last 10 seconds. If silent exit is
 
used, the exit delay beeps will only sound twice when you arm and 
twice when the exit delay expires. 
Motions  Exit delay and entry delay beeps sound three times every 5 
seconds and three times per second during the last 10 seconds. If 
silent exit is used, the exit delay beeps will only sound three times 
when you arm and three times when the exit delay expires. 
Doors+Windows and Motions  Exit delay and entry delay beeps sound four times every 5 seconds 
and four times per second during the last 10 seconds. If silent exit is
 
used, the exit delay beeps will only sound four times when you arm 
and four times when the exit delay expires.

a.  These features have not been verified for use by UL. 
Alarm sirens 
Exterior and interior sirens make three di
fferent alarm sounds on the premises, each 
indicating a different type of alarm. Sire ns are programmed by the installer to time 
out and stop sounding after a specified time.  
						

							Table 10: Siren sounds   
Function Fire Intrusion Emergency 
Interior and panel siren Temporal 3 Steady Fast on/off 
Exterior siren  Temporal 3 Steady  
Note: Temporal 3 refers to a continuous pattern of three siren pulses, then off for 1.5 seconds, three 
siren pulses, then off for 1.5 seconds. 
Trouble beeps 
Your security system is able to  automatically test itself for: 
• Power failures 
• Low batteries 
• Sensor supervision 
•  Communication trouble with the central monitoring station 
When your system detects one of the pr oblems above, six rapid beeps sound every 
minute until the trouble condit ion is corrected. To stop the trouble beeps, press 
 
and then press the 
 icon or arm then disarm the system while the trouble 
condition exists. Trouble beeps will resume  4 hours later unless the trouble condition 
is corrected.  
Table 12  describes the trouble beep conditions. 
Table 11: Trouble beep conditions 
Condition Description 
AC power failure 
  This condition (if programmed by the installer) occurs if your security 
system has been accidentally unplugged or if there has been an AC 
power outage. The 
 icon will appear in the top left corner of the 
screen display, and trouble beeps start after 5 minutes. If AC power is 
not restored within a pr ogrammed period of time (5 to 254 minutes), 
the system will call the central monitoring station. The backup 
battery, if fully charged, will last for 18 to 24 hours (depending on the 
load applied to the panel) with no AC power.  
In a UL Installation, a new, fully charged battery will last 24 hours with
 
the panel in normal standby condition and still sound an alarm.  
						

							Condition Description 
System battery failure This condition occurs if the emergency backup battery has failed. 
Trouble beeps will start and the   icon will appear in the top left 
corner of the STATUS & SETTINGS screen. If your AC power is not 
working, your security system will shut down once the battery has 
failed. If the condition does not clear after AC power has been 
restored and 24 hours have passed, call your security system dealer. 
Restoration of power  This condition occurs after a complete loss of power (AC and battery). 
When power is restored, the panel will return to the arming state with
 
the same zones bypassed it had prior to losing power. 
Sensor failure  This condition occurs if a sensor is not communicating with the panel. 
Trouble beeps will start. You may need to call your security system 
dealer if the problem continues. 
Sensor low battery 
This condition occurs if a system sensor has a low battery. The sensor 
may still be communicating with the panel. Trouble beeps will start. 
Press 
 and then press  in the STATUS & SETTINGS menu. 
The panel will speak which sensors have low battery. You may need 
to call your security system dealer to resolve this problem. Some 
sensor batteries can be replaced by the homeowner. 
Failure to communicate  This condition occurs if your security system could not communicate 
successfully to the central monitoring station. Your system will try to 
report to the central monitoring station eight times before it tells you 
there is a fail-to-communicate problem. Trouble beeps will start and 
the yellow triangle appears over the settings icon. You may need to 
call your security system dealer if the problem continues. 
Sensor open  This condition occurs if a door or window is open or a system sensor 
has been disturbed and not reset properly. For example, a 
door/window sensor magnet may have been removed from the 
sensor. Your system will indicate this condition to you by displaying a 
red SENSOR OPEN icon (see Table 4 on page 5 ) and show the 
 
icon in the bottom right of the main screen. Correct the problem by 
resetting the sensor. If this condition continues, call your security 
system dealer.  
						

							Condition Description 
Sensor tampered This condition occurs when a sensor is physically tampered with, for 
example, that the cover is taken off one of the sensors. If the system 
is armed, an alarm will occur. Sensor icons change to red (see  Table 4
 
on page 5),  icon appears, and the red alarm pop-up will appear if 
the system is armed. Trouble beeps will start. Correct the problem by 
resetting the sensor. If this condition continues, call your security 
system dealer. 
RF jam detected  The panel receiver may be experiencing some interference. The 
system will call to notify the central monitoring station about this 
problem. 
Clearing status  Some types of status conditions, such as alarm history, must be 
cleared manually. To clear system status, press CLEAR next to Panel 
Status in the STATUS & SETTINGS menu. If the trouble condition was a 
low system battery, perform a sensor test. The 
 should disappear 
if all trouble conditions have been corrected. 
  
						

							System configuration 
Your Simon XTi security system allows you to program certain user options. These 
options are accessed through the settings menu. 
Settings menu 
To enter the settings menu, press  located at the bottom right of the main screen. 
Press 
 to exit a menu or option edit mo de and navigate up one level. The 
panel automatically returns to the main sc reen after one minute of inactivity (4 
minutes while performing a se nsor test , 5 seconds while entering an access code). 
Code options 
The Simon XTi security system provides a  system of codes to be entered when a 
certain level of authority is required to  perform an action. These codes allow you to 
activate system options, customize panel  operations, and generate a silent alarm. 
The default code is based on the code length  (3, 4, 5, or 6-digit code) determined at 
installation. The code types are listed in  Table 12 below . 
Table 12: Code types 
Code Description 
Master code  The master code is the main code used for panel operations. The default 
code will be 123, 1234, 12345, or  123456 depending on the value set by the 
installer for code length. 
User codes 1 through 8  These eight codes are supplemental user codes. You can use these codes 
for panel operations such as disarming, but not programming. These codes 
can be any 3, 4, 5, or 6-digits, depending on the code length. 
Duress code  Use the duress code to generate a silent duress alarm while disarming. 
Note: Any combination of invalid codes in exce ss of 40 key presses (such as fourteen 
invalid three-digit codes) will cause a system access alarm. The alarm locks all 
touchpads, except key  fobs, for 90 seconds. 
Menu navigation 
Each menu contains a list  of options and/or submenus. Changing screens and 
navigating menus is accomplished by using the various on-screen interactive icons. 
When accessing menus such as Programming  or System Tests, the panel prompts 
you to enter an access code. To continue,  enter your master code on the keypad and 
then press OK.  
A gold icon indicates an option is selected.  
						

							A blue icon depicts indicates an option is not selected. 
To program an option, first navigate to th at option until it is displayed using the 
 
 icons and then press the corresponding interactive icon (e.g. checkbox, radio 
icon, data entry window etc.) If pressing the  option value’s interactive icon transitions 
to another screen, make your changes there and press save or cancel when done.
