Programming
Your Simon XT security system allows you to program certain user options.
These options are accessed through a system menu.
System menu
To enter the system menu, press one of the scroll buttons or the OK button in the
upper right of the panel.
Press Status to exit a menu or option edit mode and navigate up one level.
Pressing Status while in the top menu level exits the system menu. The panel
automatically exits the system menu after a few seconds of inactivity if no access
code has been entered. After an access code has been entered to access a
code-protected area of the system menu, the timeout is 30 seconds (4 minutes
while performing a sensor test).
Code options
The Simon XT 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 11 below.
Table 11: Code types
Code Description
Master code The master code is the main code used for panel operations. The
default code will be 123, 1234, 12345, or 123456 depending on the
value set by the installer for code length.
User codes 1 through 8 These eight codes are supplemental user codes. You can use these
codes for panel operations such as disarming, but not programming.
These codes can be any 3, 4, 5, or 6-digits, depending on the code
length.
Duress code Use the duress code to generate a silent duress alarm while disarming.
Note: 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
