Alarm sirens
Exterior and interior sirens make three different alarm sounds on
the premises, each indicating a different type of alarm. Sirens are
programmed by the installer to time out and stop sounding after a
specified time.
Table 4 below describes the siren sounds used by the security
system.

Trouble beeps
Your security system is able to automatically test itself for:
•
Power failures
• Low batteries
• Nonworking sensors
• Communication trouble with the central monitoring station
When your system detects one of the problems above, six rapid
beeps sound every minute until the trouble condition is corrected.
To stop the trouble beeps, press Status or arm and then disarm
the system while the trouble condition exists. Trouble beeps will
resume 4 hours later unless the trouble condition is corrected.
Refer to your Simon XT User Manual for details.
Programming
Your Simon XT security system allows you to program certain user
options, such as access codes, time schedules, or the system time.
Refer to your Simon XT User Manual for programming options and
details.
Chimes
Use the chime feature to signal when a protected door is opened
while the system is disarmed. The panel chimes twice when a
chime sensor is tripped, if the chime mode is enabled. This feature
allows you to be notified when family members are going in and
out of your home. The chime and special chime features are
turned on or off in the System menu.
Note: If there are no chime sensors in your system, the chime
option will not appear in the System menu.
Your installer may have programmed the system to speak the
sensor name or make a custom chime sound when a chime
sensor is tripped. The chime sound, if programmed, will be played
in place of the standard chime beeps.
To enable or disable the chime feature:
1. Scroll until the display shows Chime, and then press OK. The
current setting will flash.
2. Scroll to toggle the chime feature on or off, and then press
OK. The setting will stop flashing.
3. Press Status to exit.
A solid bell icon will appear in the display when the chime feature
is enabled.
Special chime
The special chime feature allows you to install motion sensors in a
patio or at the front door, and be notified when someone is
approaching those areas. These motion sensors are not used for
intrusion protection. The panel will chime three times, if the special
chime mode is enabled.
Note: If there are no special chime sensors in your system, the
special chime option will not appear in the System menu.
To enable or disable the special chime feature:
1. Scroll until the display shows Special Chime, and then
press OK. The current setting will flash.
2. Scroll to toggle the special chime feature on or off, and then
press OK. The setting will stop flashing.
3. Press Status to exit.
An outlined bell icon will appear in the display when the special
chime feature is enabled.
Note: This menu option will not appear if special chime sensors
are not in your system.
