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:
Mar k both mounting holes in the middle of the
mounting slot. This will allow better adjustment of the
panel before securing it to the wall.

7. Secure the mounting screws (provided) to the locations on the
wall marked in step 6. Do not tighten the screws. Leave
enough clearance to mount the mounting plate.
Note:

Use wall anchors if no studs are present.
8. Mount the mounting plate to the wall. Insert the top mounting
hole first, then the bottom hole. Adjust the fit to make sure the
mounting plate is level. Hold th
e mounting plate in place and
tighten the screws.
9. Hang the panel chassis on th
e mounting plate at the plastic
hinges, swing the chassis up to the mounting plate and
engage at the tabs (A in
Figure 1
above
).

Connecting hardwired devices
The panel has five screw terminal
s, two battery terminals, and two
telephone connections. The scre
w terminals connect the AC
power, sirens, and/or
hardwired detectors.

The HW1 I/O terminal is dual purp
ose and can be used for either
siren or hardwired contact connections. The HW2 in terminal is an
input only.

Simon X
Ti Installation Guide
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 Su
pervision turned on, sirens connected
to HW1 I/O are supervised and require a 4.7-kohm 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 me
nu. See wiring diagram.
Note:

Not investigated for and may not be used in a UL Listed
installation.
Hardwired contacts
You can c
onnect 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.
This allows you to use up to 200 ft. (61 m) of two-conductor, 22-
gauge stranded wire.
Connect hardwired reed switches
to the panel using a 47-kohm
resistor (not a 4.7-kohm resistor) as shown in
Figure 4
below
.
The re
sistor must be connected at the last switch in the circuit.

Note:
Do not install the resistor at the panel terminals. This
does not provide supervision of the wire.
Wiring phone lines

You can 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.
You might also need an inline filter to ensure panel reporting is
successful.
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
F
ull 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 de
vices on the phone line. You may
need to verify the line seizure for UL installations.
Use the RJ31X (CA-38A) jack when wiring for full line seizure. You
can then quickly and easily disc
onnect the panel from the phone
line in case the panel disables th
e phone line due to
a malfunction.

To wire full line seizure with an RJ31X:
1. Run a four-conductor cable fr
om the premises Telco block to
the RJ31X.
2.

Connect the

four-conductor
cable wire to the RJ31X.

3. Disconnect the green and re
d premises phone jack wires
from the Telco block and splice them to the four-conductor
cable black and white (or yello
w) wires. Use weatherproof
wire connectors for these splices.
4. Connect the four-conductor ca
ble 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 th
e 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 co
rd 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. Inform them to
Simon X
Ti Installation Guide
3
contact you if they want to add a phone or other device so that
you 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 transf
ormer. 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 dis
appear after some time.
To remove and install the 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 un
til you are ready to power
up the panel.
Resetting me
mory to factory defaults
If you need 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 th e left side 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
M
ake 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. You could receive a
serious shock if a metal outlet cover drops down onto the
prongs of the plug.
2. Plug the transformer into the lower receptacle of the outlet so
that the hole in the transforme
r 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 b
eeps 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 sounde
r for 4 hours but the trouble
indication will remain until the battery is recharged.

Sensors
These instructions describe how to
add (learn) sensors, touchpads,
and other system devices in
to panel memory. The panel
recognizes a sensor when you pr
ess a sensor program icon, press
and release a tamper switch, press
a sensor test button, or put a
sensor into alarm.
Table 6
below
describes the programming
m
ethod for each device.
Note:

If you are installing a sensor on a gun case, jewelry box, or a
similar case, and the sensor is active in level one, you must direct
bypass the sensor to avoid putting the panel into alarm when the
sensor and the magnet are separated.
Mounting Recommendations:
•

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. Ch
anging a sensor or receiver
location can improve wi
reless communication.
•
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).
•
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
•
Avoid mounting the sensor or receiver directly on metal.
•
The Simon XTi 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.

Sensor Naming

Please us
e the following gu
ide when naming sensors:
•
Sensor names must have the word ³window ́ or ³door ́ from
the text library to interact with the touch screen Door and
Windows icons on the Main screen.
•
On the Edit Sensor name screen in programming, default the
screen to list and not keypad. This gives the user the list of
possible sensor names.
•
The Motion icon is controlled by sensors that are
programmed into the following groups: 15, 17, 18, 20, 28,
or 32.
•
The Property icon is controlled by the following sensors:
•
All sensors learned into Group 43.
•
Sensors that are not named ³window ́ or ³door ́.
•
Sensors not learned into the Motion groups.
•
Sensors that are named keyfob, keychain or touchpad.
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. You
should perform a sensor test after any change in environment,
equipment, or programming.
Notify the central station you will be performing a test 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 installer 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.

Test your sensors by tripping
them one at a time. The panel
will display the number of transmissions received from
sensors you trip. See
Table 7
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 7
below
for minimum requirements. The panel
displays Sn
#, Name, and Roun
ds Detected (Packets). Scroll
through to make sure all sensor have been tested.

Sensor Test Failure
If sirens do not beep when a sens
or 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 in
stallation 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:
•
Reposition the sensor
•
Relocate the sensor
•
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 th
e original position and retest
until an acceptable location is found.
3. Mount the sensor in the new location.
4. If no location is acce
ptable, 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 replacem
ent of the problem sensor.
Sensor Testing Notes:
•

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).
•
Conduct sensor test whenever changes are made to the
installation environment that may impact RF performance
(For example: mirrors insta
lled, metal backed wall paper,
addition of other RF equipment).
•
Sensor testing should be done
before and after permanent
mounting.
Comm Testing
I
f Comm Test is not finished, it will continue to run even if you exit
program mode.
Note:

Complete panel programmin
g 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 your master code and press OK.
4. Press Comm Test.
The panel displays if the comm test was successful or not.
Central station communication
Afte
r 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. Call the central station and tell the operator that you will be
testing the system.
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 you finish testing the system, call the central station to
verify that the alarms were received.
Cleaning the t
ouch screen
If necessary, use a soft cloth to clear smudges on the touch
screen. Do not use glass cl
eaner on the touch screen.
Disposal
Dispose of all equipment is accordance with local requirements.
