Introduction

  1. The Simon XTi-5 uses wireless technology to warn your family about intrusion, carbon monoxide and fire.
  2. The system communicates with a central monitoring station and sends voice messages to an offsite phone.
  3. The security system uses sensors that communicate alarms to the control panel using radio waves.
  4. 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. 
A Simon XTi-5 installation may include any of the devices listed in Table 1 below.



The default master code is 1-2-3-4 when the security system is shipped from the factory. You should change your code after your system is installed.

Using the System

You can operate the self-contained security system through several different methods:
  1. 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.
  2. Use the emergency screen to communicate with the central monitoring station to report emergency panic, police, or fire alarms
    From the home screen, press the Status & Settings icon   to program certain user features.

Upon initial installation, the battery may not be fully charged for as long as 36 hours.
A low battery icon will be present 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 condition, 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 user interface for system operation and programming system functions. 

Main Screen Icons



Features

The Simon XTi-5 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 response alerts to the central monitoring station.
• Access the system from a key fob (similar to the one used for your car).
• Access the system from a remote telephone.
• Disable sensors so you can leave a window 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 zoning (two-trip) refers to two different motion sensors that must be tripped within two minutes of each other to report an alarm to the central station. Figure 2 below shows the path of a person walking from the kitchen to the living room. When the person is detected walking through the kitchen, the motion sensor in the kitchen is tripped, sounding a local alarm. If motion 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.
Figure 2: Cross-zone diagram

Home Security

The Simon XTi-5 allows you to control which sensors are active at any given time. Table 5 below describes the arming levels that you can set from the control panel.

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 specific area.
Disarming makes the sensor inactive in the system. The current arming level is shown on the screen and changes in arming level are announced on the speaker.

Arming errors

If you select an arming option on the Arm screen, and there is an arming problem, an arming error message screen will appear, indicating what the problem is and how to correct it.

For example, you might see a message that indicates that you need to close the front door. Correct the problem as indicated or press Bypass. You will see the arming countdown message at the bottom of the screen. You can press Cancel and enter your code to stop the arming process.

Figure 3: Pre Arm Screen


To Disarm (Level 1):

  1. Press PRESS TO DISARM.
  2. Enter your code when the keypad screen appears.

The panel displays and speaks Disarmed and the panel beeps once.

To Arm Doors and Windows (Level 2):

  1. Ensure that all doors and windows are closed.
  2. Press   
  3. Press DOORS & WINDOWS ONLY (STAY) (see Figure 3 above).
  4. If a code is required, enter your code when the keypad screen appears.
The panel speaks Doors and Windows On and starts an exit delay, and sounds exit beeps in groups of two until the exit delay expires.

To cancel arming press CANCEL ARMING on the countdown screen (shown below).

To Arm Motion Sensors (Level 3)

  1. Press  
  2. Press MOTION SENSORS ONLY (AWAY)
  3. If a code is required, enter your code when the keypad screen appears.
The panel speaks Motions On, starts an exit delay, and sounds exit beeps in groups of three until the exit delay expires.
Note: Depending on your configuration, this option may not appear.

To Arm Doors, Windows, and Motion sensors (level 4):

  1. Press  
  2. Press ARM ALL (AWAY).
  3. If a code is required, enter your code when the keypad screen appears.
The panel speaks Doors and Windows On, Motions On, starts an exit delay, and sounds exit beeps in groups of four until the exit delay expires.

Unvacated premises

Unvacated premises is a feature that determines whether the system automatically arms down to level 2 (doors and windows) if you arm the system to level 4 (doors, windows, and motion sensors) without opening or closing a perimeter door (on), or remains at the armed level chosen (off). This feature does not work from a key fob. Auto bypass must be on for this feature to work. Ask your installer how this option is programmed.

Swinger shutdown

This setting determines if a sensor or zone will go into alarm only once during an arming period (an active arming level) and will not be active again until the alarm is canceled (Swinger Shutdown is enabled) or the sensor or zone will always be active and will go into alarm multiple times during an arming period (an active arming level) without canceling the alarm (Swinger Shutdown is disabled).
Note: Swinger shutdown does not affect Smoke, Fire, Carbon Monoxide and Environmental sensors.
Ask your installer how this option is programmed and have them explain how it will affect your system operation.

Exit/Entry Delay

Your Simon XTi-5 provides a delay after entering or exiting your home before the system is armed or disarmed. Table 6 below provides details for the entry and exit delay features.

Silent exit

The silent exit feature silences the status beeps that accompany the exit delay. Press ON next to Silent exit before pressing the arming
level icon to silence status beeps. The panel will still beep at the beginning and end of the exit delay.

Note: Enabling silent exit doubles the exit delay time.

No entry delay

Use the no entry delay feature when you are staying at home, or when you are away from home and will carry a wireless keyfob to disarm the system before opening a protected door. Check with your installer to find out how this option is programmed.
  1. Close all door and windows.
  2. Press  
  3. Press the OFF next to Entry Delay.
  4. Press your desired arming level. The arming countdown begins.
  5. The screen displays (clock with a red strike through) with your arming level and speaks 'Doors and Windows On, No Entry Delay.'
Note: To avoid causing an alarm, you must disarm the system with a wireless keyfob before entering your home.

Quick exit


Use the quick exit feature when you want to briefly leave the house while the system is stilled armed (for instance to get the newspaper). This feature must be enabled by your installer.
To enable Quick Exit:
  1. Press PRESS TO DISARM
  2. Press on the touch screen.
This will start a 2 minute timer that will allow a designated exit door to be open and closed once without triggering an alarm.
Note: The designated door may be opened and closed only once. If you close the designated door behind you when you exit, you will need to disarm the system upon re-entering. 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 (for example, if you forget your car keys). If this happens, the system 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 and windows are armed and you want to open your
kitchen window, but do not want to disarm the entire system, 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.

To Bypass, or Unbypass, a Sensor:

  1. Press  
  2. Press SELECT 
  3. Enter your master code.
  4. Next to the sensor name, select to bypass the selected sensor, orto not bypass the selected sensor.

Alarms

The system provides a series of alarms that indicate an unusual occurrence. When an alarm is active, the red alarm pop-up display shows with a message explaining what caused the alarm:

To Listen to and Cancel an Alarm:

  1. If you would like to hear additional alarm information, press Listen.
  2. To cancel the alarm, press the red alarm icon and enter a valid master or user code.
After alarms are canceled, the system will be disarmed.

Fire alarm verification

If this option is off, the panel immediately reports to the central station when a smoke detector goes into alarm.
With this option on, if a single smoke detector goes into alarm, the panel will not report for 60 seconds unless another smoke detector goes into alarm. If the first smoke detector is cleared of an alarm within the first 60 seconds, no report will be sent to the central station unless it or a second smoke detector goes into alarm within the panel siren timeout period (5 minutes).
Ask your installer how this option is programmed.

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 the 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 15 and 45 seconds.
To cancel an accidental alarm before the programmed dialer delay time expires, press the red alarm pop-up and enter your access code. The panel will speak Alarm Communication Cancelled and sound beeps. If the panel announces Alarm Cancelled, the alarm report was sent to the central monitoring station.
(Optional) The central monitoring station should be contacted to report the false alarm.
Note: There is no dialer delay for fire alarms.

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.
• Be aware of the devices in your 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 formed by cooking.
• Make a note of the display, system beeps, and indicator lights that indicate the current system 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 notified 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.

Special chime

The special chime feature allows you to install motion sensors in a patio or at the front door, and be notified when someone is approaching those areas. These motion sensors are not used for intrusion protection. The panel will chime threetimes, if the special chime mode is enabled.
Note: If there are no special chime sensors in your system, the special chime  option will not appear in the System menu.

System status

Press   and then press next to Panel Status (no code is required) to
cause the system to speak the following types of information:
  1. Alarm conditions
  2. Alarm history
  3. Trouble conditions
  4. Open sensors
  5. Bypassed sensors
The  icon and  icon have a when an abnormal condition such as a trouble sensor exists in the system.
You can clear certain status entries from the system (such as old alarm history) by listening to the message and then pressing Clear next to Panel Status in the Status & Settings screen.

Alarm history cannot be cleared when the system is armed.

Key Fobs

Touchpads are used to control the security system from any location within or near your home.

Key fob

If your installer programmed the key fob with no entry delay, and you arm the system with the key fob, you must disarm your system before entering the home to avoid causing an alarm.
If your installer programmed your system for remote touchpad arming, you must enter your home to start the entry delay before you can use your key fob to disarm the system.

To avoid causing false alarms, check with your installer on how your touchpad/key fob options are programmed.
Panic alarms need to be silenced from the panel, a remote touchpad, or another key fob. They cannot be silenced from the same key fob that activated the alarm.
For any key press on the key fob, hold the button until the indicator light blinks. The key fob has the following buttons:
  1. Lock (closed lock icon)
  2. Unlock (open lock icon)
  3. Star (star icon)
  4. Light (light bulb icon)

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.

Alarm Sirens

Exterior and interior sirens make three different alarm sounds on the premises, each indicating a different type of alarm. Sirens are programmed by the installer to time out and stop sounding after a specified time.

Trouble beeps

Your security system is able to automatically test itself for:
  1. Power failures
  2. Low batteries
  3. Sensor supervision
  4. Communication trouble with the central monitoring station

When your system detects one of the problems above, six rapid beeps sound every minute until the trouble condition 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.


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 mode and navigate up one level. The panel automatically returns to the main screen after one minute of inactivity (4 minutes while performing a sensor test, 5 seconds while entering an access code).

Code options

The Simon XTi-5 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.


Any combination of invalid codes in excess 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.
