The self-contained panel provides the main processing unit for all system functions. It receives and responds to signals from wireless sensors and wireless touchpads throughout the premises. For monitored systems, the panel can be connected to the premises phone line for central monitoring station reporting.

You can program the panel onsite from the keypad or remotely using Enterprise

Downloader software. See “Programming” on page 35 for complete onsite programming instructions.

Simon XTi Installation Manual 1

System components

The system can monitor up to 40 sensors and may use any of the devices listed in

Table 1 below.

Table 1: Supported devices

Device Description

Max Life Door/window sensor

(60-362N-10-319.5)

For intrusion protection, install door/window sensors on all groundfloor doors and windows. At a minimum, install them in the following locations:

• All easily accessible exterior doors and windows.

• Interior doors leading into the garage.

• Doors to areas containing valuables.

Indoor motion sensor

(60-639 & 60-807-95)

Indoor motion sensors are ideal whenever it is not practical to install door/window sensors on every opening. Identify areas where an intruder is likely to walk through. Large areas in an open floor plan, downstairs family rooms, and hallways are typical locations for indoor motion sensors. For installations with pets, use the SAW Pet

Immune PIR (60-807-95).

Smoke sensor

(TX-6010-01-1)

Smoke sensors provide fire protection by causing an alarm to sound throughout the house. You can add smoke sensors near sleeping areas and on every floor of the house. Avoid areas that could have some smoke or exhaust such as attics, kitchens, above fireplaces, dusty locations, garages, and areas with temperature extremes. In these areas, you may want to install rate-of-rise sensors to detect extreme temperature changes. See the instructions packaged with the smoke sensor for complete placement information.

Glassbreak sensor (60-873-95) Glassbreak sensors respond to shock waves of breaking glass. These sensors are designed to mount in the corner of windows or doors, either on the frame or on the glass itself. See the instructions packaged with the glassbreak sensor for complete placement information.

Carbon monoxide (CO) alarm

(TX-6310-01-1/600-6520-95)

4-Button Key fob

(600-1064-95R)

The learn mode CO alarm alerts you to hazardous levels of carbon monoxide gas. If dangerous concentrations of gas are present, the red indicator light comes on, the internal siren goes off, and an alarm is transmitted to the panel. The panel sounds its own alarm and reports to the central station.

The key fob (keychain touchpad) lets you turn the system on and off from right outside the home or activate a panic alarm if there is an emergency. If you have the appropriate light control modules, you can use key fobs to turn all system controlled lights on and off.

Simon XT Talking Touchpad

(60-924-3-XT)

The wall-mounted, two-way, talking touchpad combines a conventional learn mode touchpad with an RF receiver, speech chip, and voice amplification circuit.

2 Simon XTi Installation Manual

Device Description

Simon XT talking touch screen

(60-924-RF-TS, 60-924-3-XT-

2WTTS and 60-924-RF-TS-N)

The two-way talking touch screen is a wireless device that provides a graphical user interface that allows you to: arm the system (doors, windows, and motion sensors), disarm the system, activate a panic alarm to call the central monitoring station in an emergency, check system status, and turn system controlled lights on or off, all while providing voice feedback. The touch screen also provides trouble beeps, entry/exit beeps, and alarm sounds (Fire, Panic, Police).

Caution:

Do not use outdoor motion sensors for intrusion protection.

Planning the installation

This section describes system capabilities to help you get familiar with your system.

The planning sheets contain tables that let you record the hardware and programming configuration of your system. Complete all of the information ahead of time to help prepare for system installation. See “Sensor names” on page 67 for sensor name segments listed alphabetically and by index number.

Locate the panel where alarm sounds can be heard and where the panel will be easily accessible for operation. Do not install the panel near a window or door where it can be reached easily by an intruder.

Planning sensor types and locations

The first step to an easy and successful installation is to decide what areas or items to protect, which lights to operate, and the best location for the panel, touchpad, sensors, and sirens. Metal objects, mirrors, and metallic wallpaper can block signals sent by the wireless sensors. Make sure there are no metal objects in the way when installing the system.

Use Table 3 below and Table 4 on page 5 to determine the appropriate sensor type for the sensors you will be adding, and Table 5 on page 7 to document the planned sensor information. You will need to understand the application for each sensor.

Cross-zoning

Cross zoning (two-trip) refers to two different group 18 sensors that must be tripped within two minutes of each other to report an alarm to the central station. Figure 2 below shows the path of a person walking from the kitchen to the living room. When the person is detected walking through the kitchen, the motion sensor in the kitchen is tripped, sounding a local alarm. If motion is detected by the living room motion sensor within two minutes, an alarm report will be sent to the central station.

Note:

We do not recommend cross zoning for exit/entry zones. Each zone can individually protect the intended area.

Installation

Mounting

Figure 3: XTi chassis and trim ring

A

B

D

C

To mount the panel on a wall:

1. Lay the panel flat on a table.

2. Remove trim ring (B in Figure 3 above) from panel by lifting at notch (C in Figure 3 above).

3. Separate the panel chassis from the mounting plate by lifting up on the tabs (A in

Figure 3 above) and swinging the chassis open.

4. Choose a panel location.

5. Run all necessary power, phone, siren, and hardwired contact wires to the desired panel location.

Note: When choosing the AC outlet location for the AC power transformer, make sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch or that it is not part of a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI).

6. Hold the mounting plate against the wall and mark the mounting hole locations

(Figure 4 on page 15) with a pencil.

Note: Mark both mounting holes in the middle of the mounting slot. This will allow better adjustment of the panel before securing it to the wall.


Figure 4: Mounting holes

Mounting hole

Wiring knockout

Mounting hole

7. Secure the mounting screws (provided) to the locations on the wall marked in step

6. Do not tighten the screws. Leave enough clearance to mount the mounting plate.

Note: Use wall anchors if no studs are present.

8. Mount the mounting plate to the wall. Insert the top mounting hole first, then the bottom hole. Adjust the fit to make sure the mounting plate is level. Hold the mounting plate in place and tighten the screws.

9. Hang the panel chassis on the mounting plate at the plastic hinges, swing the chassis up to the mounting plate and engage at the tabs (A in Figure 3 on page

14).

10. Reattach the trim ring.

Connecting hardwired devices

The panel has five screw terminals, two battery terminals, and two telephone connections. The screw terminals connect the AC power, sirens, and/or hardwired detectors.

Figure 5: Wiring terminals

1 2 3 4 5


Program sensors and devices before you install them. Follow the instructions in

“Sensors” on page 41 to add the sensors to panel memory.

The HW1 I/O terminal is dual purpose and can be used for either siren or hardwired contact connections. The HW2 in terminal is an input only.

Interior sirens

From the factory, the HW1 I/O input is set up for interior siren operation (status and alarm sounds). The HW1&2 DC out terminal provides the positive (+) voltage.

Note:

The total current available from the HW1&2 DC out terminal is 250 mA at up to

120ºF (49ºC). A 24-hour battery standby will be met with a maximum load of 250 mA.

With hardwired siren supervision turned on, sirens connected to HW1 I/O are supervised and require a 4.7-kohm resistor in the circuit. If this terminal is not used, turn hardwired siren supervision off.

Hardwired interior siren

Interior sirens must always be wired with a resistor in the circuit. For circuit supervision, which allows the panel to detect if the siren wire is cut (open), the hardwired siren supervision option must be turned on.

Note:

Do not install the resistor at the panel terminals. This does not provide supervision of the wire.

Connect the hardwired interior siren (13-374) to the panel using a 4.7 kohm resistor

(included with the siren) as shown in Figure 6 below. The resistor must be connected across the siren wires as close to the siren as possible.

Exterior sirens

For an exterior siren, reprogram HW1 to Exterior Siren on Option 6. See Wiring diagram.


Hardwired contacts

To set up HW1 I/O and/or HW2 for hardwired contacts, make the required connections described below, and then proceed to “Programming” on page 35 to add

(learn) them into panel memory.

You can connect hardwired reed switches (normally closed loop only) to HW1 I/O (if not being used for a hardwired siren) and/or HW2 in.

Note:

Connect only normally closed (NC) reed switches to HW1 I/O and/or HW2 in.

Other types of hardwired detectors should not be used.

The total resistance of the wired loop must not exceed 3 ohms. This allows you to use up to 200 ft. (61 m) of two-conductor, 22-gauge stranded wire.

Connect hardwired reed switches to the panel using a 47-kohm resistor (not a 4.7kohm resistor) as shown in Figure 7 below. The resistor must be connected at the last switch in the circuit.

Note:

Do not install the resistor at the panel terminals. This does not provide supervision of the wire.

Wiring a phone line to the panel

You can connect a phone line to the panel for systems monitored by a central monitoring station or systems that notify users by a voice event notification.

DSL (digital subscriber line) allows the use of multiple devices on a single phone line simultaneously. For DSL environments, connect the panel line-in jack to an available phone jack on the premises. You may also need an inline filter to ensure panel reporting is successful.

Note:

Avoid connecting the panel to a standard phone (voice) line as other devices on the line can prevent reports from going through.


Figure 8: Phone connectors

RJ45 connector (LINE)

RJ11 connector (PHONE)

Full line seizure

Full line seizure allows the panel to take over (seize) the phone line, even if another device on the line is in use. This method requires that the panel be wired before all other phones, answering machines, computers, or other devices on the phone line.

Use the RJ31X (CA-38A) jack when wiring for full line seizure. You can then quickly and easily disconnect the panel from the phone line in case the panel disables the phone line due to a malfunction.

To wire full line seizure with an RJ31X:

1. Run a four-conductor cable from the premises Telco block to the RJ31X (see

Figure 9 on page 19).

2. Connect the four-conductor cable wire to the RJ31X.

3. Disconnect the green and red premises phone jack wires from the Telco block and splice them to the four-conductor cable black and white (or yellow) wires. Use weatherproof wire connectors for these splices.

4. Connect the four-conductor cable green and red wires to the Telco block TIP (+) and red to RING (-) posts.

5. Connect the phone cord included with the panel to the RJ31X and the panel LINE jack.

Full line seizure wiring with one premises phone

If a single phone is all that exists on the premises, full line seizure can be accomplished without an RJ31X.

1. Disconnect the phone from the premises phone jack and plug it into the panel

PHONE jack. This jack is disconnected automatically whenever the panel reports.

2. Connect the included phone cord to the panel LINE jack and the premises phone jack.

Note:

If customers add phones or other phone devices to another phone jack, full line seizure no longer exists. Inform them to contact you if they want to add a phone or other device so that you can rewire for full line seizure by adding an RJ31X.

Wiring the power transformer

Connect the power transformer to the two 9 VAC in terminals on the panel.

Note: System can only be powered up using AC power, not battery power. The red battery icon may appear when system first powers up and will disappear after some time.

8. Replace the trim ring.

Applying AC power

The panel will not power up on battery power only. AC power is required to power up the panel.

Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch or that it is not part of a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI).

Note: For Canadian installations, plug the transformer into the wall outlet.

1. Remove the center screw from the outlet cover plate and hold the cover plate in place.

WARNING:

Use extreme caution when securing the transformer to a metal outlet cover. You could receive a serious shock if a metal outlet cover drops down onto the prongs of the plug.


2. Plug the transformer into the lower receptacle of the outlet so that the hole in the transformer tab lines up with the outlet cover screw hole.

3. Insert the cover plate screw through the transformer tab and the outlet cover plate. Tighten the screw.

Note: Upon initial installation, the battery may not be fully charged for as long as

36 hours. A low battery icon will be present and trouble beeps will sound until the battery is sufficiently charged. After the initial charge, should the panel lose AC

Power and experience a low battery condition, the icon will appear and trouble beeps will sound unless silenced. You can silence trouble beeps by:

• Arming or disarming the system. or

• Pressing the STATUS & SETTINGS icon and pressing LISTEN next to Panel

Status.

This will disable the sounder for 4 hours but the trouble indication will remain until the battery is recharged.

Determines how long the system protests (announces open/failed sensors) when attempting to arm with open/failed sensors, before bypassing these sensors and automatically arming the rest of the system. The panel protests an arming attempt when it has not received a restore (close) signal from sensors learned into restore-specific sensor groups. Sensors learned into group 26 (fire) cannot be bypassed.

When this option is on, the panel announces all open/failed sensors repeatedly for four minutes, then automatically bypasses the open sensors and arms the rest of the system. If a sensor is opened during the exit delay and then left open, the panel will go into alarm after the exit delay has expired. This option must be on for unvacated premises and exit extension to work correctly.

When the option is off, the panel displays all open/failed sensors once, then automatically bypasses the open sensors and arms the rest of the system after the exit delay has expired. If other sensors are opened during the exit delay, they will also be bypassed if left open.

If group 13 (instant perimeter) sensors are opened during the exit delay, the panel goes into immediate alarm.

Determines whether the panel restarts the exit delay time if you enter the armed premises during the initial exit delay period (on), or not (off). Turning on this feature allows you to reenter during the exit delay period, without disarming and then rearming the system. Turning off this feature requires you to disarm and rearm the system.

Note: Auto arm must be on for this option to work.

Determines whether an access code is required when arming the system

(on), or not (off). This option does not affect key fob arm/disarm operation.

Determines whether the system protests arming if a low CPU battery condition exists (on), or not (off).

Determines whether pressing Disarm when the system is armed activates the exit delay time to allow exit and reentry without disarming the system

(on), or not (off). This feature is useful if you want to step outside briefly and return. If the system is armed and you press Disarm, the panel announces

Exit Time is On, and sounds exit delay beeps. This allows a designated entry/exit door to open for up to two minutes without causing alarm. When the door is closed, the beeps stop and the door is armed again.

Determines whether the baud rate used by the panel for central station communication is 300 bps (on), or 110 bps (off).


Ring hang ring RHR or

10 Rings

Determines when the panel answers a remote phone access or Enterprise call. Depending on whether an answering machine exists at the panel location, offsite access to the panel can be done with a series of phone calls or just one. For offsite access where an answering machine does not exist, the user or Enterprise operator simply calls the panel location once and listens for 10 rings. The panel should answer after the tenth ring.

For offsite access where an answering machine exists, the user or

Enterprise operator must call the panel location, and then let the phone ring once and hang up. Wait at least 10 seconds but not more than 40, and then call the panel location again. The panel should answer on the first ring.

Ring/hang/ring setting number and sequence of rings after which the panel answers:

Dial delay 30 seconds

Call waiting # Off

• RHR or 10 Rings = Ring/hang/ring or ten rings

• RHR(2) or 10 Rings = Ring/hang/ring/hang/ring or ten rings

• RHR(3) or 10 Rings = Ring/hang/ring/hang/ring/hang/ring or ten rings

• 10 Rings = Ten rings

• RHR = Ring/hang/ring

• RHR(2) = Ring/hang/ring/hang/ring

• RHR(3) = Ring/hang/ring/hang/ring/hang/ring

• Off = Disabled, no remote (offsite) access

Determines whether the panel delays dialing programmed phone numbers before sending report (on).

If opening (disarming) reports is on, the panel does not delay dialing if the system is disarmed before the delay time expires. The panel dials immediately for both the alarm and opening report.

Regardless of this option setting, the panel always dials immediately for fire alarms, AC power failure, and low battery reports.

The call waiting number is dialed by the panel before a phone number to disable call waiting. If the end-user has call waiting, we recommend you change this option from its default.

CAUTION: Changing this option from its default without call waiting will prohibit the panel from calling the central station.

The call waiting code is programmed the same way as a dialer number.

(152 m) or more, the environment at the installation site may have a significant effect on operational range. Changing a sensor or receiver location can improve wireless communication.

• Avoid mounting sensors or receivers in areas where they will be exposed to moisture or where the operating temperature range will exceed the specified range (10 to 120 °F).

• Avoid mounting the sensor or receiver in areas with a large quantity of metal or electrical wiring. For example: within 1 meter of AC distribution panel (fuse box),

HVAC duct work.

• Avoid mounting the sensor or receiver directly on metal.

• The Simon XTi system should not be mounted within 3 meters of any other RF equipment (RF music system transmitter, wireless router/modem, etc.).

If you are installing a sensor on a gun case, jewelry box, or a similar case, and the sensor is active in level one, you must bypass the sensor to avoid putting the panel into alarm when the sensor and the magnet are separated.

Sensor association with the graphical interface icons

Figure 16: At a glance icons

Door Window Motions Property

The at-a-glance icons (see Figure 16 above) Door, Window, Motions, and Property, found on the Simon XTi (and remotely connected Talking Two-Way Touch Screens) are associated with sensors, given a set of rules.

• The default state for an disassociated at-a-glance icon is N/A.

• Any learned-in sensor (regardless of type or group) with a sensor name that includes the word “window” or “door” from the text library will automatically associate respectively with the at-a-glance Doors and Window icons. Example, a


door-window sensor learned in, and physically attached to a door, with Front

Door as its name, group 10 as its type will be associated with the Doors icon on the graphical interface. In contrast, a door-window sensor learned in, and physically attached to a door, with Utility Room as its name, group 10 as its type will NOT be associated with the Doors icon. It would be associated with the property icon on the graphical interface.

• Any learned-in sensor (regardless of type or name) with a group type of 17, 18, 20, or 28, will associate with the at-a-glance Motions icon. Depending on the location of the screen, a typical use for this feature would be to identify motion before entering the building (if placed in a garage), or alerting to motion downstairs from the master bedroom, if the system wasn't armed. The Motion icon will clear after

10 minutes of inactivity.

• Any sensor that is not associated with the Doors, Window, or Motions icons based on the preceding rules is automatically associated to a Property icon.

• The Property Icon supports two different sensor group types restoral, and nonrestoral. Restoral based sensors, provide clear indication of event start and stop.

An example is a flood sensor. The flood sensor will associate with the Property icon and continue to report as "Changed" when water is detected and remains detected by the sensor. When the water condition clears, the Property icon Open will clear. Non-restoral based sensors, provide indication of event start, but not stop. An example is tilt switch/garage door sensor that determines if something that it is attached to the sensor, like a boat trailer has moved. The tilt sensor will associate with the Property icon and will report as "Changed" when movement is detected the first time. Upon user acknowledgement of the event by pressing the

Property icon, the Changed state is returned to No Change.

Common associations of icons and sensors

• Exteriors motions for use in driveways for non-reporting, informational purposes can be associated with the Property icon using group types 40 or 43.

• Water sensors learned group 29 will alarm immediately upon activation; if informational detection is desired without reporting, use group 40.

• Freeze sensors learned group 38 will alarm immediately upon activation; if informational detection is desired without reporting, use group 40.

• Tilt sensors can be used as a means to provide asset monitoring associated with the Property icons with the use of group type 43.

The panel reports an AC power restoral when AC power returns to the panel.

Determines whether the panel sends a low CPU battery report to the central station when the panel backup battery voltage drops.

Determines whether the panel reports sensor alarm restoral (on), or not (off). Setting when restoral is reported:

• Sensor Close - Immediately after sensor is closed or restored after dial delay

• Siren Timeout - After siren timeout expires if sensor is restored

• System Disarm - When system is disarmed if sensor is restored.

• Off

Determines whether the system (armed or disarmed) goes into and reports an alarm anytime a sensor tamper switch is tripped (on), or only when the system is armed and a tamper switch of an armed sensor is tripped (off).

Determines whether the panel sends supervisory reports to a central station as a tamper (on), or a supervisory (off).

Note: This option is typically used only in Europe where a supervisory condition is required to report as a tamper.

Determines whether the panel sends a No Usage report to the central station if the user has not operated the system before the programmed time expires (on), or not (off). The timer starts each time the system is disarmed.

Note: This is a customer service feature that alerts the central station if a customer is not using their security system. The service provider can then contact the customer to find out why the system is not being used, and help correct any problems for the customer.

This setting determines if a sensor or zone will go into alarm only once during an arming period (an active arming level) and will not be active again until the alarm is canceled (swinger Shutdown is enabled) or the sensor or zone will always be active and will go into alarm multiple times during an arming period (an active arming level) without canceling the alarm (Swinger Shutdown is disabled).

On = 1 trip

Sensor Test Failure

If sirens do not beep when a sensor is tripped, use an RF Sniffer (60-401) test tool to verify that the sensor is transmitting. Constant beeps from the RF Sniffer indicate a faulty sensor. Replace the sensor.

If possible, locate sensors within 100 ft. (30 m) of the panel. While a sensor may have a range of 500 ft. (152 m) or more out in the open, the environment at the installation site can have a significant effect on transmitter range. A change in sensor location may help overcome adverse wireless conditions and can potentially be accomplished by the following:

• Reposition the sensor

• If necessary, replace the sensor

To reposition a sensor:

1. Rotate the sensor and test for improved sensor communications at 90 and 180 degrees from original position.

2. If poor communication persists, relocate the sensor.

To relocate a sensor:

1. Test the sensor a few inches from the original position.

2. Increase the distance from the original position and retest until an acceptable location is found.

3. Mount the sensor in the new location.

4. If no location is acceptable, replace the sensor.

To replace a sensor:

1. Test a known good sensor at the same location.

2. If the transmission beeps remain below the minimum level, avoid mounting a sensor at that location.


3. If the known good sensor functions, contact UTC Fire & Security for repair or replacement of the problem sensor.

Sensor Testing Notes:

• Conduct sensor test in all possible environmental conditions (For example: interior doors open and closed, HVAC system on and off, wireless music system turned on and off).

• Conduct sensor test whenever changes are made to the installation environment that may impact RF performance (For example: mirrors installed, metal backed wallpaper, addition of other RF equipment).

• Sensor testing should be done before and after permanent mounting.

Comm Testing

If Comm Test is not finished it will continue to run even if you exit program mode.

Note: Complete panel programming before performing comm testing.

To perform a comm test:

1. Enter the Status & Settings menu.

2. Scroll until System Tests is listed, Press Enter.

3. Enter the dealer, installer or master code and press OK.

4. Press Comm Test.

The panel displays if the comm test was successful or not.

Central station communication

After performing sensor tests, check that the system is reporting alarms successfully to the central station.

To verify alarm reporting:

Note: The communication with the central station test must be done while NOT in programming mode.

1. Call the central station and tell the operator that you will be testing the system.

2. Arm the system.

3. Test an emergency panic icon and trip at least one sensor of each type (fire, intrusion, etc.) to verify that the appropriate alarms are working correctly. There is a 30 second delay.

4. When you finish testing the system, call the central station to verify that the alarms were received.

Extend session for 90 more seconds

Terminates session with call back (the panel answers on the first ring if called within

5 minutes)

Terminates session with no call back

Voice event notification

Testing this feature requires two people; one at the alarm site and the other at the location the panel is programmed to call.

To test voice event notification:

1. Contact the central monitoring station (if the system is monitored) to inform them you are testing the system and not to dispatch authorities.

2. At the system site, put the system into an alarm condition.

3. At the calling location, pick up the phone after it starts ringing. You should hear the panel voice announce Press Star for Alarm.


4. Press * and the panel voice identifies the alarm. If there is more than one alarm in progress, you must press * for the panel voice to identify them.

After all alarms have been identified, the panel announces Press # to Exit.

5. Press # to terminate the call.

You must terminate the call by pressing #. Otherwise, the panel may not disconnect from the phone line for up to 2 minutes.

Cleaning the touch screen

If necessary, use a soft lint-free cloth to clear smudges on the touch screen; do not use glass cleaner on the touch screen.

Disposal

Dispose of all equipment is accordance with local requirements.


Troubleshooting

This section provides information to help you diagnose and solve various problems that may arise while configuring or using your Simon XTi.

System status

To clear Status (alarm memory), from a disarmed state press CLEAR from the Status &

Settings screen.

If the panel displays and announces Siren 1 Failure:

• Turn the hardwired siren supervision option off if a hardwired siren or sensor is not connected.

• Check for the correct end-of-line resistor in the HW1 I/O circuit.

If the panel displays and announces Low Battery:

• Check that the panel backup battery is connected.

• Check the panel backup battery voltage. If less than 5.4 volts, replace the battery and clear the system status message.

• Run a sensor test.

If the panel displays and announces RF Jam, the control panel has detected RF interference.

If the panel displays and announces that a sensor is open, see “Sensors” on page 41.

If the display shows Set Time and announces System Time is Not Set, set the system time.

Control panel

If the panel displays and announces Invalid, the sensor is already programmed.

Delete the sensor if not programmed correctly.

If the panel does not beep, turn on the piezo beeps option.

If your screen is not displaying properly, you may need to conduct a screen refresh.

Remove the trim ring (B in Figure 3 on page 14) and depress the reset key (D in

Figure 3 on page 14) on the left side of the XTi. Re-install the trim ring.

Sensors

If a sensor does not work:

• Make sure the battery is good and installed correctly.

• Check for interference from metal objects. Move or rotate the sensor.

• Move the sensor to a new location.

If a door or window is closed, but the panel announces it is open:


• Be certain the arrow on the magnet and the guide line on the transmitter are aligned and within ¼ inch of each other.

• The sensor tamper switch may be open (cover off).

If a motion sensor goes off continuously, be sure the sensor is mounted on a solid surface and the viewing field is free from sources of changing temperature.

If a motion sensor does not respond to motion:

• Make sure the sensor battery is good and installed correctly. Wait 2 minutes after installing a new battery to test the sensor.

• Adjust the sensor mounting.

• Leave the area for 3 minutes, then retest.

• The environment may be too hot or too cold. Outdoor sensors operate between

32 and 120ºF (0 and 49ºC).

• Dirt or dust may be causing the problem. Wipe the sensor with a clean, damp cloth.
