Bypassing Sensors; Quick Exit - GE Simon XT User Manual

12 Simon XT
User Manual
No entry delay
Use the No Delay feature when you are staying at home, for instance when you are asleep, or when you're
away from home and will carry a wireless touchpad that will allow you to disarm the system before opening a
protected door. Check with your installer to find out how this option is programmed.
1. Close all doors and windows.
2. Press DOORS +WINDOWS twice. If a code is required for arming, enter your code after the first
press of the DOORS +WINDOWS button, then press the button again.
3. The panel displays Doors+ Windows - No Delay and speaks Doors and Windows On, No Entry Delay.
The DOORS + WINDOWS light will blink and the exit delay will begin.
Note: To avoid causing an alarm, you must disarm the system with a wireless touchpad before entering your home.

Quick exit

Use the quick exit feature when someone wants to briefly leave while the home is still armed (for instance to
get the newspaper). This feature needs to be enabled by your installer. When you press the DISARM button,
the display shows Exit Time Is On. This allows a designated exit door to be open for up to two minutes without
triggering an alarm.
Note: The designated door may be opened and closed only once. If you close the designated door behind you when you exit,
you will have to disarm the system upon reentering. Leave the designated door open while using the quick exit feature.
Exit delay extension
If enabled by your installer, the Exit delay extension feature will recognize when you arm the system, leave
your house and then quickly re-enter your house (such as you would if you forgot your car keys.) In such a case
Simon XT will restart your exit delay to give you the full exit delay again.

Bypassing sensors

Bypassing a sensor allows you to open the sensor while the system is armed. For example, if your Doors &
Windows are armed and you want to open your kitchen window but do not want to disarm the entire system,
then you can bypass the kitchen window sensor and then open the kitchen window without causing an alarm.
Bypassed sensors are automatically unbypassed when the arming level is changed to a level where the sensor is
not active.
Bypassing
1. Press BYPASS and enter the master code.
2. Scroll up/down until you reach the sensor to be bypassed.
3. The display shows, for example, Sn 1 Front Door on the first line.
4. Press Enter to bypass (deactivate) the sensor.
5. When a sensor is bypassed, the panel displays Bypassed on the second line.
