Wiring The Power Transformer; Programming - GE Security Simon XT V2 Installation Manual

Use the RJ31X (CA-38A) jack when wiring for full line seizure.
You can then 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. 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. Inform
them to 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
transformer. This sequence prevents a battery fault
condition.
To install the backup battery (6 VDC, 1.2 Ah):
1. Connect the lug end of the red battery lead to the red
battery tab.
2. Connect the lug end of the black battery lead to the
black battery tab.

3. Align the red (+) battery terminal with the right end of
the terminal strip. The logo and specification
information should be readable.
4. Insert the front end of the battery under the forward
battery compartment latch.
5. Push forward and rotate the battery downward until it
seats beneath the rear battery compartment latch.
Caution: Do not connect the battery until you are ready to
power up the panel.
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).
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 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.
