Mounting
Figure 1:
XTi-5 Chassis and Trim Ring

To mount the panel on a wall:
1. Lay the panel flat on a table.
2. Remove trim ring (
B
in Figure 1 above) from panel by
lifting at notch (
C
in Figure 1 above).
3. Separate the panel chassis from the mounting plate by
lifting up on the tabs (
A
in Figure 1 above) and swinging
the chassis open.
4. Choose a panel location.
5. Run all necessary power, phone, siren, and hardwired
contact wires to the desired panel location.
When choosing the AC outlet location for the AC power
transformer, make sure the outlet is not controlled by a
switch or that it is not part of a ground fault circuit
interrupt (GFCI).
6. Hold the mounting plate against the wall and mark the
mounting-hole locations (Figure 2 below) with a pencil.
Note:
Mark both mounting holes in the middle of the mounting slot.
This will allow better adjustment of the panel before securing

Connecting Hardwired Devices
The panel has five screw terminals, two battery terminals,
and two telephone connections. The screw terminals
connect the AC power, sirens, and/or hardwired detectors.
Figure 3:
Wiring Terminals

Program sensors and devices before installing them; follow
the instructions in “Sensors” on page 7 to add the sensors to
panel memory.
The HW1 I/O terminal is dual purpose and can be used for
either siren or hardwired contact connections. The HW2 in
terminal is an input only.
Interior Sirens
From the factory, the HW1 I/O input (terminal 1) is set up for
interior siren operation (status and alarm sounds). The
HW1&2 DC out (terminal 2) provides the positive (+) voltage.
Note:
The total current available from the HW1&2 DC out terminal
is 250 mA at up to 120ºF (49ºC). A 24-hour battery standby
for UL requirements will be met with a maximum load of
250 mA.
With Hardwired Siren Supervision turned on, sirens
connected to HW1 I/O are supervised and require a 4.7 k
ȍ

resistor in the circuit. If this terminal is not used, turn
Hardwired Siren Supervision off.
Exterior Sirens
For an exterior siren, change the HW1 setting in the System
Options programming menu. See wiring diagram.
Note:
Not investigated for and may not be used in a UL Listed
installation.
Hardwired Contacts
Connect hardwired reed switches (normally closed loop only)
to HW1 I/O (if not being used for a hardwired siren) and/or
HW2 in (terminal 3).
Connect only normally closed (NC) reed switches to HW1
I/O and/or HW2 in. Other types of hardwired detectors
should not be used.
The total resistance of the wired loop must not exceed 3
ohms; uses up to 200 ft. (61 m) of two-conductor, 22-gauge
stranded wire.
Connect hardwired reed switches to the panel using a 47 k
ȍ

resistor (not a 4.7 k
ȍ
resistor) as shown in Figure 4 below.
The resistor must be connected at the last switch in the
circuit.
Figure 4:
Normally Closed Hardwired Reed Switches

Note:
Do not install the resistor at the panel terminals. This does
not provide supervision of the wire.
Wiring Phone Lines
Connect a phone line to the panel for systems monitored by
a central monitoring station or systems that notify users by a
voice event notification.
DSL (digital subscriber line) allows the use of multiple
devices on a single phone line simultaneously. For DSL
environments, connect the panel line-in jack to an available
phone jack on the premises. To ensure panel reporting is
successful, an inline filter might also be needed.
Note:
Avoid connecting the panel to a standard phone (voice) line,
as other devices on the line can prevent reports from going
through.
Full line Seizure
Full line seizure allows the panel to take over (seize) the
phone line, even if another device on the line is in use. This
method requires that the panel be wired before all other
phones, answering machines, computers, or other devices
on the phone line (verifying line seizure for UL installations
may be needed).
Use the RJ31X (CA-38A) jack when wiring for full line
seizure. Quickly and easily disconnect the panel from the
phone line in case the panel disables the phone line due to a
malfunction.
To wire full line seizure with an RJ31X:
1. Run a four-conductor cable from the premises Telco
block to the RJ31X.
2. Connect the four-conductor cable wire to the RJ31X.
3. Disconnect the green and red premises phone jack
wires from the Telco block and splice them to the four-
conductor cable black and white (or yellow) wires. Use
weatherproof wire connectors for these splices. 4 / 13

P/N 466-5436 • REV A • 16OCT18
4. Connect the four-conductor cable green and red wires
to the Telco block TIP (+) and red to RING (-) posts.
5. Connect the phone cord included with the panel to the
RJ31X and the panel LINE jack.
Full line seizure wiring with one premises phone
If a single phone is all that exists on the premises, full line
seizure can be accomplished without an RJ31X.
1. Disconnect the phone from the premises phone jack
and plug it into the panel PHONE jack. This jack is
disconnected automatically whenever the panel reports.
2. Connect the included phone cord to the panel LINE jack
and the premises phone jack.
If a customer adds phones or other phone devices to
another phone jack, full line seizure no longer exists.
Customers should be informed to contact their security
provider if they want to add a phone or other device so that
an installer can rewire for full line seizure by adding an
RJ31X.
Wiring the Power Transformer
Connect the power transformer to the two 9 VAC in terminals
(4 and 5) on the panel. Do not plug in the transformer at this
time. When applying power to the panel; connect the battery
first, and then plug in the AC power transformer. This
sequence prevents a battery fault condition.
Note:
System can only be powered up using AC power, not battery
power. The red battery icon may appear when the system
first powers up and will disappear after some time.
To remove and install th
e backup battery (6 VDC,
2.1 Ah):
Note:
It is recommended that the backup battery be replaced every
3-5 years.
1. Remove AC power from the panel.
2. Disconnect the existing battery from the battery
connector.
3. Remove the existing battery by reaching under the
battery with a finger and pulling up.
Note:
Do not try to push the plastic latch back to remove the
battery.
4. Insert the new battery into the battery compartment and
snap into place.
5. Plug the battery connector into the panel.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the battery until the panel is
ready to power up.
ATTENTION:
Ne branchez pas la batterie tant que vous
n’êtes pas prêt à mettre le panneau sous
tension.
Resetting Memory to Factory Defaults
To reset memory to factory defaults, follow the steps below.
To reset the panel to factory defaults:
1. Remove the trim ring.
2. Open the panel chassis.
3. Unplug the transformer and disconnect the battery.
4. Press and hold the reset button (D in Figure 1 on page
2) on the center of the panel.
5. Plug in the transformer to the panel while holding the
reset button and keeping the panel cover open.
6. Release the button.
7. Plug in the battery and close the panel chassis.
8. Replace the trim ring.
Applying AC Power
Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch or that it is
not part of a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI).
Note:
For Canadian installations, plug the transformer into the wall
outlet.
1. Remove the center screw from the outlet cover plate
and hold the cover plate in place.
WARNING:
Use extreme caution when securing the
transformer to a metal outlet cover. An
individual could receive a serious shock if
metal outlets cover drops down onto the
prongs of the plug.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Faite preuve d’une extrême prudence
quand vous fixez le transformateur sur une plaque
métallique. Vous pourriez recevoir un choc grave si la
plaque métallique touche aux broches du transformateur.
2. Plug the transformer into the lower receptacle of the
outlet so that the hole in the transformer tab lines up
with the outlet cover screw hole.
3. Insert the cover plate screw through the transformer tab
and the outlet cover plate. Tighten the screw.
Note:
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.
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. P/N 466-5436 • REV A • 16OCT18

Sensor Mounting Recommendations:
x

Where possible, install sensors within 100 feet (30 m) of
the receiver. While a transmitter and receiver
combination may have an open-air range of 500 feet
(152 m) or more, the environment at the installation site
may have a significant effect on operational range.
Changing a sensor or receiver location can improve
wireless communication.
x

Avoid mounting sensors or receivers in areas where
they will be exposed to moisture or where the operating
temperature range will exceed the specified range (10 to
120 °F).
x

Avoid mounting the sensor or receiver in areas with a
large quantity of metal or electrical wiring. For example:
within 1 meter of AC distribution panel (fuse box), HVAC
duct work.
x

Avoid mounting the sensor or receiver directly on metal.
x
The Simon
®
XTi-5 system should not be mounted within
3 meters of any other RF equipment (RF music system
transmitter, wireless router/modem, etc.).
Note:
Refer to specific sensor installation instructions for complete
operation and testing details.
Note:
While installing a sensor on a gun case, jewelry box, or a
similar case, and the sensor is active in level one, to avoid
putting the panel into alarm when the sensor and the magnet
are separated; it is a must to direct bypass the sensor.
Sensor Testing
Test the sensors after all programming is completed and
whenever a sensor-related problem occurs.
Note:
While the sensor test is a valuable installation and service
tool, it only tests sensor operation for the current conditions.
Be sure to perform a sensor test after any changes in
environment, equipment, or programming.
The central station will then be notified that a test will be
performed prior to starting the test.
To test the sensors:
1. Place all sensors in their secured (non alarm) state.
2. Access the System Test screen through the
Programming Screen, and then press OK.
3. Enter the dealer or security provider code and press
“OK”.
4. Press “Sensor Test”.
5. All learned in sensors will be displayed on this screen.
Press the arrows to scroll through the pages.
6. Test sensors by tripping them one at a time. The panel
will display the number of transmissions received from
sensors being tripped. See Table 6 below for specific
instructions on how to trip each sensor type.
The panel sounds beeps, and the display identifies the
tripped sensor and the number of RF packets received.
Each beep represents one RF packet. Count the
number of beeps and refer to Table 6 below for
minimum requirements. The panel displays Sn #, Name,
and Rounds Detected (Packets). Scroll through to make
sure all sensors have been tested.

Sensor Test Failure
If sirens do not beep when a sensor is tripped, use an RF
Sniffer (60-401) test tool to verify that the sensor is
transmitting. Constant beeps from the RF Sniffer indicate a
faulty sensor. Replace the sensor.
If possible, locate sensors within 100 ft. (30 m) of the panel.
While a sensor may have a range of 500 ft. (152 m) or more
out in the open, the environment at the installation site can
have a significant effect on transmitter range. A change in
sensor location may help overcome adverse wireless
conditions and can potentially be accomplished by the
following:
x
Reposition the sensor
x

Relocate the sensor
x

If necessary, replace the sensor
To reposition a sensor:
1. Rotate the sensor and test for improved sensor
communications at 90 and 180 degrees from original
position.
2. If poor communication persists, relocate the sensor.
To relocate a sensor:
1. Test the sensor a few inches from the original position.
2. Increase the distance from the original position and
retest until an acceptable location is found.
3. Mount the sensor in the new location.
4. If no location is acceptable, replace the sensor.
To replace a sensor:
1. Test a known good sensor at the same location.
2. If the transmission beeps remain below the minimum
level, avoid mounting a sensor at that location.
3. If the known-good sensor functions, contact UTC Fire &
Security for repair or replacement of the problem
sensor.
Sensor Testing Notes:
x

Conduct sensor test in all possible environmental
conditions (for example: interior doors open and closed,
HVAC system on and off, wireless music system turned
on and off).
x

Conduct sensor test whenever changes are made to the
installation environment that may impact RF
performance (for example: mirrors installed, metal
backed wall paper, addition of other RF equipment).
x

Sensor testing should be done before and after
permanent mounting.
Comm Testing
If Comm Test is not finished, it will continue to run even if the
program mode is exited.
Note:
Complete panel programming before performing comm
testing.
To perform a comm test:
1. Enter the Status & Settings menu.
2. Scroll until System Tests is listed, Press Enter.
3. Enter master code and press OK.
4. Press Comm Test.
The panel displays if the comm test was successful or not.
Central Station Communication
After performing sensor tests, check that the system is
reporting alarms successfully to the central station.
Note:
The communication with the central station test must be
done while NOT in programming mode.
To verify alarm reporting:
1. Contact the central station and tell the operator that a
system will be tested.
2. Arm the system.
3. Test an emergency panic icon and trip at least one
sensor of each type (fire, intrusion, etc.) to verify that the
appropriate alarms are working correctly. There is a 30
second delay.
4. When finished, after testing system, call the central
station to verify that the alarms were received.
Cleaning the Touch Screen
If necessary, use a soft cloth to clear smudges on the touch
screen. Do not use glass cleaner on the touch screen.
Disposal
Dispose of all equipment is accordance with local
requirements. P/N 466-5436 • REV A • 16OCT18
