Compatibility
The Z-Wave module with firmware version 172 is compatible with Simon XT
and XTi panels.
Power Up
Reconnect panel battery and AC power. When the Alarm.com Module is
connected to a powered control panel, the LEDs at the bottom of the module
will become active. 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.
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 transformer,
otherwise the panel will issue a "System Low Battery" message regardless of
the battery voltage level.

In this mode you can delete a
device from a Z-Wave
network. A device can only
be in one network at a time,
and must receive a "delete"
command before it can be
learned into a new network
After receiving this signal
leave all devices by the
module for 1 minute. Locks
must be left next to the
module for 4 minutes
Device you attempted to add
to a network is already in a
network, and must be
"deleted" before it can join a
new network
No devices have been added
that can be controlled by the
module yet. See above for
instructions on how to add
devices
The device was not
successfully added to the Z-
Wave network.
When the module first
connects to Alarm.com it is
configured with a necessary
unique network ID
