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. When a CDMA module is
connected to the control panel, the LEDs at the bottom of the
module will become active (see Table 1 below). 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 completely.
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 AC
transformer, otherwise the panel will issue a "System Low Battery"
message regardless of the battery voltage level.
CDMA Phone Test (Module Registration)

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 "CDMA Comm Test in

The Simon XT/XTi panel will let you know when the CDMA Phone
Test has completed by displaying "CDMA Test signal sent OK" on the
panel screen. This indicates that Alarm.com has received and
acknowledged the signal. This 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.
Panel Settings Automatically Changed with CDMA module
Some panel settings are changed automatically when the CDMA
module is connected to the control panel. These settings should not
be altered by the installer. They are:
Sensor/Zone 40: Upon initial module power up, the panel
recognizes and learns the CDMA module as sensor/zone 40 and
assigns "CDMA 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 CDMA 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 will default to
Eastern Time.
Troubleshooting: LEDs
Status LEDs indicate network and module status. Figure 4 below
shows the location of the status LEDs on the CDMA module.

LED Function
L1 Error LED. Flashes 1 to 8 times in an 8-second interval to indicate a
specific error. See Table 2Table 2 on page 3 for errors and common
fixes.
L2 Panel Communication and Z-Wave status messages. Flashes every
time the module communicates with the panel and flashes in
patterns to indicate Z-Wave status.
L3 CDMA Communication. Flashes every time the CDMA signal level is
checked and when packets are exchanged with Alarm.com.
L4 CDMA Signal Level. Flashes 0 to 5 times to indicate signal strength,
or toggles on/off slowly when communicating with Alarm.com
servers.
