Simon XT/XTi LTE Module

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Introduction

The LTE Module for Simon XT and XTi enables wireless reporting of all alarms and other system events from the Interlogix Simon XT & XTi control panel on the Verizon LTE wireless (cellular) network. The module can be used as the primary communication path for all alarm signaling, or as a backup to a telephone line connection to the central monitoring station. The wireless alarm signaling and routing service is operated by Alarm.com. The LTE

Module also features integrated support for Alarm.com’s emPower™ solution with built-in Z-Wave capabilities and for Alarm.com’s Image Sensor when the Image Sensor daughterboard is added. Two-way voice over LTE is supported on module firmware versions 185 and above.

The module interfaces with the Simon XT and XTi panel boards, fits into a special compartment inside the panel, and is powered by the control panel and panel battery.

Compatibility

The LTE module is compatible with all Simon XT (version 1.3 and up) and XTi control panels.

Account Creation

Before installing an Alarm.com LTE Module in a Simon XT or XTi system, a new customer account needs to be created with Alarm.com. We recommend creating the account at least 24 hours in advance of installation to ensure that the radio is activated prior to installation.

Simon XT/XTi LTE Module | Installation Guide

• The LTE Module draws a maximum of 30 mA average during normal operation. In PowerSave Mode, during or immediately following an AC power failure, the module will draw only 10 mA on average.

• Avoid mounting the panel in areas with excessive metal or electrical wiring, such as furnace or utility rooms.

• Leave 12 to 18 in. of open space around the module antenna.

• Do not install the control panel and module in a basement or other below-ground location. Doing so will negatively impact LTE signal strength.

Tools and supplies needed

You will need the following tools and supplies:

• Small flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers

• Screws (included)

• Antenna (included)

Module Insertion and Antenna Installation

Before installing the module, disconnect the battery and AC power from the panel.

1) Open the panel by pressing the two tabs (Fig. 1) on the top of the XT or by lifting the tabs on the XTi panel.

4) Insert the module by angling the end of the module where the antenna is attached downwards, making sure that the edge of the module sits below the plastic tabs (see Fig. 3). Once the module is seated evenly, carefully push the bottom of the module into the 8-pin connector beneath it.

5) Thread the antenna’s wire through the channel in the bottom of the panel. This antenna can then be inserted into the wall behind the panel.

The antenna should be placed at least 3 feet away from the panel, and in order to obtain optimal reception the antenna should be affixed as high up as possible.

6) The secondary antenna (pre-attached to the module) should be routed and placed as shown in Fig. 4.

Figure 4: LTE Antenna Routing and Placement

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.

LTE Phone Test (Module Registration)

To initiate module communication with Alarm.com and the LTE network the first time, perform a “LTE phone test”.

To perform a Phone Test on a Simon XT:

1) Scroll Down through the control panel menu until it displays “System

Tests” and Press “OK”.

2) Enter the installer code (default 4-3-2-1), then “OK”.

3) Scroll down until the panel displays “Comm Test” and “OK”. The panel will display “LTE Comm Test in progress” to indicate the test has been initiated.

Quick Phone Test:

1) On the main screen with the panel disarmed, hold down the ‘3’ key for 5 seconds.

2) The panel will display “LTE Comm Test in progress” to indicate the test has been imitated.

To perform a Phone Test on a Simon XTi:

1) Press the Status & Settings icon on the lower right of the home screen.

2) Scroll Down and press “Programming”.

3) Enter the installer code (default 4-3-2-1), then “OK”.

4) Press “System Tests”.

5) Press “Comm Test”. The panel will display “LTE Comm Test in progress” to indicate the test has been initiated.

The Simon XT/XTi panel will let you know when the LTE Phone Test has completed by displaying “LTE Test signal sent OK” on the panel screen. This indicates that Alarm.com has received and acknowledged the signal. This does not guarantee that the signal went through to a central station; it confirms that the Alarm.com Operations Center received the signal. The central station should be contacted directly to verify that the signal was received on the correct account and that the Central Station routing settings have been set up correctly. The signal may not go through to the central station if (a) the Central Station Account settings were entered incorrectly on the Alarm.com Dealer Site or (b) if Alarm.com was unable to send the signal successfully to the Central Station receivers. In these cases the panel will show a “Fail to Communicate” message.

Panel Settings Automatically Change w/ LTE Module

Some panel settings are changed automatically when the LTE module is connected to the control panel. These settings should not be altered. They are:

Sensor/Zone 40: Upon initial module power up, the panel recognizes and learns the LTE module as sensor/zone 40 and assigns “LTE Module” as the sensor/zone name. Any device previously residing in panel memory as

Power Up

Reconnect panel battery and AC power. When an LTE Module is connected to a powered control panel, the LEDs at the bottom of the module will become active (see Table 3). 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 and that the antenna is snapped-in completely. sensor/zone 40 is automatically deleted and must be learned into panel memory using any available sensor/zone number between 01 and 39.

Clock: The LTE module sets the panel clock when it connects to Alarm.com and then updates it every 18 hours. It is important to select the correct panel time zone on the Alarm.com website, or the panel time will not be accurate.

If a system is powered up before the customer account has been created, the time zone will default to Eastern Time.

Mode. In PowerSave Mode, this LED flashes in unison with LED 2.

LED L4 (green)

L4 indicates the LTE signal level as a number of flashes (0 to 5 bars). The number of bars may not correspond to the bars shown on your cell phone. A level of 5 bars is obtained only in the strongest signal conditions.

Signal level is updated every ten seconds if it fluctuates, or every 30 seconds if it is fairly stable.

If L4 is not flashing it indicates one of the following states:

• The module is in PowerSave Mode

• The module just powered up

• There is no LTE coverage in the area. Alarm.com recommends a steady signal level of 2 or higher for proper operation of the module.

Note: If the LTE module is powered down for a short period of time, buffered messages from Alarm.com may be received when module power is restored.

Improving Wireless Signal Strength

Guidelines for optimal wireless signal strength:

• Install the module above ground level, as high up as possible within the structure.

• Install the module near or adjacent to an outside-facing wall of the structure.

• Do not install the module inside a metal structure or close to large metal objects or ducts.

• Make sure to follow the antenna positioning guidelines that are included with the antenna. Certain antennas must be oriented a specific way in order to receive signals.

• Upgrade the antenna. If using the 1/4 wave antenna included with the

LTE module, upgrade to a remote cable antenna. Contact Alarm.com technical support for antenna options.

As you make changes to the module location or antenna to improve signal strength, request updated signal readings to verify changes. To request an updated reading, press and hold the “5” key for 10 seconds on the XT or press the ‘Refresh’ button in the “Module Status” menu on the XTi.

Walking the Customer through New User Setup on the Web

This section describes how to help your customer set up their website account, and only applies to customers on an interactive service plan with an online account. (Skip this step for customers using the module for wireless signaling only).

Before the customer can configure their website account, the Alarm.com account for that customer must be created on the Dealer Site, and the LTE module associated with the account must be installed successfully.

To log in and access their account, the customer can go to www.alarm.com

(or custom dealer website address) to complete the new subscriber setup procedure.

The customer will need the following:

• The website login and temporary password included on the Alarm.com

Welcome Letter generated when the account was created by the Dealer

• A list of their system sensors and touch screens with corresponding zone IDs

• At least one phone number and e-mail address where notifications can be sent

Note: At least one sensor must be learned into the panel to complete the new subscriber setup. If not all sensors and touch screens were learned in before powering up the module, an updated sensor list must be requested by performing an LTE phone test or requesting an updated equipment list from the Dealer Site.
