Description
The Simon XT Talking Touch Screen (models 60-924-RF-TS
and 60-924-RF-TS-N without power supply) features a color
3.5 inch LCD screen with a graphical user interface designed
to control basic functionality of
the Simon XT (v1.3 or later) and
Simon XTi control panels. Up
to four touch screens can be
learned (programmed) into each Simon XT or XTi panel.
The touch screen provides a
convenient option for the
following system operations:
•
Arm the system (doors, windows, and motion sensors).
•
Disarm the system.
•
Activate a panic alarm to call the central monitoring station
in a nonmedical emergency.
• Check system status.
•
Turn system controlled lights on or off (depending on your
system configuration).
•
Lock and unlock system-controlled door locks (depending
on your system configuration).
•
Hear voice feedback of the st
atus of the Simon XT or XTi
control panel.
Installation
Use the following guidelines when adding this touch screen to
the Simon XT or XTi system:

The touch screen will work
best if mounted greater than 3
ft. (approximately 1 m) from
the Simon XT panel.
•
Avoid mounting the touch
screen directly behind the
Simon XT or XTi panel on the opposite side of the wall.
•
Always do a sensor test before attaching the touch screen
to the wall.
•
Do not wrap the antenna into the backplate. Follow the
instructions to install t

he original position. Retest
until an acceptable location is found.
3. Mount the touch screen in the new location (see Figure 1
on page 4).
Note:
If you cannot get the touch screen to trip, test a known
good touch screen at the same
location. If the replacement
touch screen functions, contact UTC Fire & Security for repair
or replacement of the faulty touch screen.
To mount the touch screen:
1. Remove the touch screen
from the mounting base by
inserting a small screwdriver in
to the slot on the bottom of
the touch screen (see Figure 1 on page 4).
2. Hold the base on the wall at the mounting location and
mark the mounting holes, ant
enna drop, and power drop.
3. Drill 1/8 inch holes into the
wall for plastic anchors at the
mounting hole locations. Cut both the antenna and power
wire drop openings to the size of the opening in the base.
4. Push the two plastic anchors into the drilled holes and
tighten screws within a ¼ inch of the anchors.
5. Feed the power supply plug through the power wire
opening.
6. Hang the base over the scr
ews, level, and tighten the
screws.
7. Load four AAA batteries into the battery compartment on
the back of the touch screen.
8. Plug the power into the
back of the touch screen, and
secure the power wire to the loop with the tie wrap
provided.
9. Feed the antenna wire from
the back of the touch screen
through the rectangular wire drop opening in the wall.
10. Angle the top of the touch
screen into the hooks on the top
of the base. Start feeding the
power cable through the wire
drop, and swing the bottom of the touch screen into the
lower part of the base un
til you hear it click.
11. When choosing the AC outlet for the power supply, make
sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch.
Note:
If necessary, use a soft cloth to clear smudges on the
screen; do not use glass cleaner on the screen. 4

Operation
Refer to the Simon XT Touch Screen Quick Operation Guide
for basic touch screen operation information. Refer to the panel
documentation for complete Simon XT and XTi programming
and operation information.
Setting the clock
You can set the touch screen clock by setting the clock on the
Simon XT or XTi panel.
Battery replacement
When the touch screen batteries are low, the touch screen will
display the red battery icon on the Home and Settings screens.
Note:
We recommend that you replace the batteries once a
year and after any significant power outage.
1. Remove the touch screen
from the mounting plate by
inserting a small screwdriver in
to the slot on the bottom of
the touch screen.
2. Replace all batteries being sure to follow the polarity
instructions (see “Specifications ” below for recommended
batteries).
Avoid touching the touch screen face while you are
replacing the batteries.
3. Briefly disconnect the AC power (this will clear the battery
fault).
4. Reconnect AC power.
Note:
If AC power is lost and batteries are not present or are
depleted, the touch screen will not power up until AC power is
restored (even if new batteries are installed).
Reset button
The Reset button is located on
the bottom left side of the touch
screen mounting plate (see Figure 1 above). To power cycle
the touch screen, use a toot
hpick to depress the recessed
Reset button.
Note:
Do not press the Reset button while in programming
mode.
Clear operation
If the Simon XT or XTi panel is connected to an online service,
some information (such as a dealer logo) can be stored in the
touch screen memory. To erase touch screen memory and
restore to factory default, simply relearn the touch screen into
the panel again. The learn in process begins by clearing the
touch screen memory. To keep memory clear, learn the touch
screen into a Simon XT or XTi panel that has no online service
supported.
Troubleshooting
•
If your touch screen fails to enroll, go to the Simon XT
panel, delete that touch scr
een from the panel, and then
repeat the enroll procedure.
•
If the touch screen chime does not announce the zone
name completely, it is likely due to the zone information
not being sent to the touch screen during installation. To
correct the problem, delete the touch screen and relearn
the touch screen again.
•
Red text on the Door Lock page indicates an open door or
a door that is not monitored.
