Programming; System Menu; Code Options - GE Simon XT V2 User Manual

Programming

Your Simon XT security system allows you to program certain user options. These
options are accessed through a system menu.

System menu

To enter the system menu, press one of the scroll buttons or the OK button in the
upper right of the panel.
Press Status to exit a menu or option edit mode and navigate up one level. Pressing
Status while in the top menu level exits the system menu. The panel automatically
exits the system menu after a few seconds of inactivity if no access code has been
entered. After an access code has been entered to access a code-protected area of
the system menu, the timeout is 30 seconds (4 minutes while performing a sensor
test).

Code options

The Simon XT security system provides a system of codes to be entered when a
certain level of authority is required to perform an action. These codes allow you to
activate system options, customize panel operations, and generate a silent alarm.
The default code is based on the code length (3, 4, 5, or 6-digit code) determined at
installation. The code types are listed in Table 12 below.
Table 12: Code types
Code
Master code
User codes 1 through 8
Duress code
Note: Any combination of invalid codes in excess of 40 key presses (such as fourteen
invalid three-digit codes) will cause a system access alarm. The alarm locks all
touchpads, except key fobs, for 90 seconds.

Description
The master code is the main code used for panel operations. The
default code will be 123, 1234, 12345, or 123456 depending on the
value set by the installer for code length.
These eight codes are supplemental user codes. You can use these
codes for panel operations such as disarming, but not
programming. These codes can be any 3, 4, 5, or 6-digits,
depending on the code length.
Use the duress code to generate a silent duress alarm while
disarming.
