System configuration

Your Simon XTi security system allows you to program certain user options. These
options are accessed through the settings menu.

Settings menu

To enter the settings menu, press
Press to exit a menu or option edit mode and navigate up one level. The
panel automatically returns to the main screen after one minute of inactivity (4
minutes while performing a sensor test , 5 seconds while entering an access code).

Code options

The Simon XTi 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.

Menu navigation

Each menu contains a list of options and/or submenus. Changing screens and
navigating menus is accomplished by using the various on-screen interactive icons.
When accessing menus such as Programming or System Tests, the panel prompts
you to enter an access code. To continue, enter your master code on the keypad and
then press OK.
A gold icon indicates an option is selected.

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.
