Light Control - GE Simon XT User Manual

Light control

You can control certain lights by using X10 lamp, appliance, or universal modules. As set up by the installer,
these modules have unit numbers from 1 to 8 and are set to the same housecode. These lights can be turned on
for certain arming operations, when a sensor is tripped or based on a time schedule. Light control includes:
Set entry lights. In this menu, each unit number can be set up as an entry light. These lights flash the
arming level when the system is armed. For example, an entry light flashes twice when the system is armed
to Level 2 (Doors+Windows).
