Simon XT/XTi GSM Module V4 Installation Instructions

Installation

Installation
consists of
inserting the module in
to

the panel
,
attaching the ante
nna, and performing a GSM phone test at
the panel.

Follow these

guidelines

during installation
:

•

Before affixing the

panel to a wall, verify the HSPA

signal
level at the installation location. On the XT panel, p
ress
and hold
the 5
k
ey for 10 seconds to

view

the
HSPA

signal
level
. On the XTi panel, enter ‘Programming’


‘Interactive Services’


‘Modules Status’. With either
panel, module LED L4 blinks to indicate signal strength.
(See Tables 1
-
3 for LED details.) An installation location
with a sustai
ned signal level of two or more bars is
recommended.

•

Do not exceed the panel total output power wh
en using
panel power for the HSPA

module, hardwired sensors,
and /or sirens. Refer to the specific panel installation
instructions for details
.

•

Only
one
Alarm.com HSPA

module

can be used per
Simon XT or XTi panel
.

•

The HSPA

module draws a maximum of 30 mA average
during normal operation. In PowerSave mode, during or
immediately following an AC power failure, the module will
draw only 10 mA on average.

•

A
void mounting the panel in areas with excessive

metal or
electrical wiring, such as furnace or utility rooms.

•

Leave 12 to 18 in. of open space around the module
antenna.

•

Do not install the control panel and module in a basement
or other below
-
ground lo
cation. Doing so will negatively
impact
HSPA

signal strength.

Tools and supplies needed

You will need the following tools and supplies:

•

Small flat
-
head and Phillips screwdriver
s

•

S
crews (included)

•

Antenna (included)

Module insertion and antenna instal
lation

Before installing the module, disconnect the battery and AC
power from the panel.

Make s
ure the module is BELOW the two corner tabs.

4.

Insert the module by angling the end of the module where
the antenna is attached downwards, making sure that the
edge of the module sits below the plastic tabs (see
Figure

3

on page 2
). Once the module is seated evenly,
carefully push the bottom of the module into the 8
-
pin
connector beneath it.

5.

Thread the antenna’s wire through the channel in the
bottom of the panel. This antenna can then
be inserted
into the wall behind the panel. The antenna should be
placed at least 3 feet away from the panel, and in order to
obtain optimal reception the antenna should be affixed as
high up as possible.

Power up

Reconnect panel battery and AC power.
Whe
n a HSPA

module is connected to a powered control panel, the LEDs at
the bottom of the module will become active (see
Table

3

on
page 4
. It may take a few moments after power up for the
LEDs

to become active.) If the LEDs do not light up at all,
ensure that the module has been fully inserted into the
connector beneath it then perform a full power cycle by
following these steps:

1
.

Disconnect the battery leads and unplug the

panel power
transformer from AC power.

2
.

Verify that the module is inserted securely and that the
antenna is snapped
-
in securely.

3
.

Connect battery leads to the battery. On the XT, make
sure to observe polarity (red to +

and black to
–
) and to
keep the wires outside of the tab holding them in place.

4
.

Plug the panel power transformer into the AC outlet.

It is important to plug the battery in before plugging in the
transformer, otherwise the panel will is
sue a “System Low
Battery” message regardless of the battery voltage level.

GSM
p
hone
t
est (
m
odule
r
egistration)

To
initiate module communication with Alarm.com and the
GSM network the first time
,
perform
a
“
GSM phone test
”.

To perform the phone test on
a Simon XT:

1
.

Scroll Down through the control panel menu until it
displays “System Tests” and Press “OK” (


on XT version
1.2).

2
.

Enter the installer code (default 4
-
3
-
2
-
1), then “OK” (


on
XT version 1.2).

3
.

Scroll down until the panel displays “Comm Test” and
“OK” (


on XT version 1.2). The panel will display “GSM
Comm Test in progress” to indicate the test has been
initiated.

To perform the phone on a Simon XTi:

1
.

Press the Sta
tus & Settings icon

on the lower right of
the home screen.

2.

Scroll Down

and press “Programming”.

3.

Enter the installer code (default 4
-
3
-
2
-
1), then
“OK”.

4.

Press “System Tests”.

5.

Press “Comm Test”. The panel will display “GSM Comm
Test in progress
” to indicate the test has been initiated.

The Simon XT/XTi panel will let you know when the GSM
Phone Test has completed by displaying “GSM Test signal
sent OK” on the panel screen. This indicates that Alarm.com
has received and acknowledged the signal. T
his does not
guarantee that the signal went through to a central station; it
confirms that the Alarm.com Operations Center received the
signal. The central station should be contacted directly to
verify that the signal was received on the correct account
and
that the Central Station routing settings have been set up
correctly. The signal may not go through to the central station
if (a) the Central Station Account settings were entered
incorrectly on the Alarm.com Dealer Site or (b) if Alarm.com
was unable

to send the signal successfully to the Central
Station receivers. In these cases the panel will show a “Fail to
Communicate” message.

Control panel s
ettings that
change automatically

with

HSPA 3G

module

Some panel
settings

are changed automatically whe
n the

GSM

module is
connected
to the
control
panel. These
settings

should not be altered
.


They
are:

Sensor/
Z
one 40
:

Upon initial
module

power up, the panel
recognizes and learns the

GSM
module as sensor/zone 40 and
assigns “GSM Module” as the sensor/zone
name. Any device
previously residing in panel memory as sensor/zone 40 is
automatically deleted and must be learned into panel memory
using any available sensor/zone number between 01 and 39.

Clock
:

The
HSPA

module

sets the panel clock when it
connects to

Alarm.com and then updates it every 18 hours. It is
important to select the correct panel time zone on the
Alarm.com website, or the panel time will not be accurate. If a
system is powered up before the customer account has been
created, the time zone wil
l default to Eastern Time.

Troubleshooting: Module Status Information

Module status information for verifying and troubleshooting
module connection status or errors can be found through the

Error and solution

1

Module cannot communicate with the panel. Perform a
power cycle on the panel. If the error persists lift the
module out of the panel and re
-
insert it. If the error is still
observed try a different module. Finally, if that

does not fix
the problem try a different panel.

2

The SIM card is missing. The SIM card holder can be
found on the module. Verify that the SIM card holder is
closed securely and that there is a SIM card in the holder.

3

The module is trying to regist
er on the GSM network. If it
persists for more than a few minutes, the module is
having problems registering with the GSM network. Check
L4 for signal level. If signal level is lower than 2 “bars”,
change the panel’s location or use a remote antenna
option
. If the signal is good, the module may be roaming
on a GSM network that does

n
o
t partner with our GSM
providers, or the SIM card was not activated yet because
the Alarm.com account was not created correctly.

4

The module is registered on the GSM network
but cannot
connect with Alarm.com. Contact Alarm.com Technical
Support.

5

Radio portion of the module is not working correctly. If this
persists for more than a few minutes the module may
need to be replaced. This error is extremely rare so verify
that t
he module is flashing 5 times.

6

This is an error only if it persists for more than a minute.
Otherwise, it’s just an indication that the module is fixing
an unusual condition regarding communication with the
GSM network.

7

The module is not compatible

with this panel type. Please
insert a compatible module.

8

If it persists, the account may have been set up
incorrectly. Contact Alarm.com Technical Support. You
will be asked to check the serial number of the module.

LED
L
2 (yellow)

L2 flashes with
every communication between the module and
the panel. Normal pattern calls for a series of quick flashes
every two seconds in Idle Mode or four seconds in PowerSave
Mode.

Improving wireless signal strength

Guidelines for

optimal wireless s
ignal strength
:

•

Install the module above ground level, as high up as
possible within the structure.

•

Install the module near or adjacent to an outside
-
facing
wall of the structure.

•

Do not install the module inside a metal structure or close
to large m
etal objects or ducts.

•

Make sure to follow the antenna positioning guidelines that
are included with the antenna. Certain antennas must be
oriented a specific way in order to receive signals.

•

Upgrade the antenna. If

using the 1/4 wave antenna
included
with the GSM
m
odule, upgrade to a remote cable
antenna.

Contact Alarm.com technical support for antenna
options.

As you make changes to the module location or antenna to
improve signal strength, requested updated signal readings to
verify changes. To reque
st an updated reading, press and hold
the “5” key for 10 seconds on the XT or press the ‘Refresh’
button in the “Module Status” menu on the XTi.

Regulatory information



Changes o
r modifications not expressly approved by
Alarm.com can void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause h
armful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turnin
g the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipm
ent in to an outlet on a circuit different
from that

which the receiver is connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.


This equipment complies with the FCC RF radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled envir
onment. This equipment
should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of
20 centimeters between the radiator and your body.


Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may
only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or
les
ser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is

not more
than that necessary
for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le
présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un
type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de rédui
re les
risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres
utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte
que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne
dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'u
ne
communication satisfaisante.


This device complies with Industry Canada licence
-
exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference, i
ncluding interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1)
l'appar
eil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur
de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,
même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le
fonctionnement.
