Interlogix Simon XT Installation Instructions Manual

Introduction
The CDMA Module V4 for Simon XT and XTi enables wireless
reporting of all alarms and other system events from the Interlogix
Simon XT & XTi control panel using the CDMA wireless (cellular)
network. The module can be used as the primary communication
path for all alarm signaling, or as a backup to a telephone line
connection to the central monitoring station. The wireless alarm
signaling and routing service is operated by Alarm.com. The V4
module also features integrated support for Alarm.com's
TM
emPower solution with built-in Z-Wave capabilities.
The module interfaces with the Simon XT/XTi panels, fits into a
special compartment inside the panel, and is powered by the control
panel and panel battery.

Intended Use
Use this product only for the purpose it was designed for;
refer to the data sheet and user documentation.
Installation
Installation consists of inserting the module into the panel, attaching
the antenna, and performing a CDMA phone test at the panel.

Before affixing the panel to a wall, verify the CDMA signal level
at the installation location. On the XT panel, press and hold the
5 Key for 10 seconds to view the signal level. On the XTi panel,
enter 'Programming'  'Interactive Services'  'Modules
Status'. With either panel, module LED L4 blinks to indicate
signal strength. (See Tables 1-3 for LED details.) An installation
location with a sustained signal level of two or more bars is
recommended.

Do not exceed the panel total output power when using panel
power for the CDMA module, hardwired sensors, and /or
sirens. Refer to the specific panel installation instructions for
details.

Only one Alarm.com CDMA module can be used per panel.

Avoid mounting the panel in areas with excessive metal or
electrical wiring, such as furnace or utility rooms.

Leave 12 to 18 in. of open space around the module antenna.

Do not install the control panel and module in a basement or
other below-ground location. Doing so will negatively impact
CDMA signal strength.

Module Compartment
Bottom of Panel, near hinge
Push antenna end into module connector to snap the antenna
onto the module. The module must be seated correctly
beneath the two small, plastic corner tabs to ensure it fits into
the compartment properly.
Insert the module by angling the end of the module where the
antenna is attached downwards, making sure that the edge of
the module sits below the plastic tabs. Once the module is
seated evenly, carefully push the bottom of the module into
the 8-pin connector beneath it.
Thread the antenna's wire through the channel in the bottom
of the panel. This antenna can then be inserted into the wall
behind the panel. The antenna should be placed at least 3 feet
