simon xt lcd panel quotation

A cultural heritage museum in the South of Germany for decades, the installed intrusion alarm system has provided reliable protection on the premises. But suddenly, the detectors trigger false alarms every night after the museum closes. The system integrators are puzzled and conduct extensive tests of the entire system.

Not an easy fix situation, since a new lighting system would prove far too costly. Ultimately, the integrators need to perform extensive detector firmware updates and switch to different sensor architecture to eliminate the error source. This scenario is by no means an isolated incident, but part of a growing trend.

Strong temperature fluctuations can be interpreted by sensors as indicators of a person inside the building. Triggers range from floor heating sources to strong sunlight. In this context, room temperatures above 86°F (30°C) have proven particularly problematic.

Extensive bandwidth frequencies in Wi-Fi routers can potentially confuse sensors. Only a few years ago, wireless routers operated on a bandwidth of around 2.7GHz while today’s devices often exceed 5GHz, thereby catching older detectors off guard.

Over the next few years, sensors were also equipped with sensors detecting visible light to catch flashlights used by burglars, as well as temperature sensors. In Bosch sensors, engineers added proprietary technologies such as First Step detection to trigger instant alarms upon persons entering a room.

The site also presents additional error sources such as large amounts of dust that can contaminate the sensors, as well as visitors accidentally dropping their cameras or mobile phones next to museum exhibits.

The next generation of Simon® XTi builds on the reliability of the original by adding a larger display and updated housing. This self-contained security system provides color LCD touch screen convenience, at-a-glance system status, and easy to use icon-based system operation all at a cost conscious price point.

Additionally, the Simon XTi-5 control panel is ideally suited for monitoring the security and safety of houses, condominiums and apartments. The ability to add on Z-Wave® lights, thermostats and door locks, in addition to the Interlogix® Image Sensor — for viewing recorded snap shots and real-time look-ins — make it a perfect solution for whole home security and comfort management.

All these functions can also be controlled remotely using Web portal and mobile applications powered by Alarm.com®. Any Web enabled device (laptop, smartphone or tablet) provides access to Simon XTi-5’s functionality and even includes lifestyle-enhancing information such as the current outdoor temperature and a four-day weather forecast.

The Simon XTi-5 panel also comes standard with 40 wireless zones, or you can set it up with 38 wireless zones and two built-in hardwired supervised burglary zones (normally-closed loop only). The built-in radio receiver works with both crystal and SAW Learn Mode sensors.

The Interlogix Simon XT is a basic all-in-one wireless control panel that serves as the central hub for a home or business alarm system. It includes its own push-button keypad that allows for quick programming and easy operation for home and business owners. With the proper upgrades and add-ons, it can perform most of the features found in a more advanced touchscreen system. Overall, the Simon XT is a solid, no-frills security panel for users who are looking for a basic plug and play setup, with the potential to upgrade to a more advanced system later on. The Simon XT is also sold in two touchscreen models: Simon XTi and Simon XTi-5.

As a panel, the Simon XT will support up to 40 total zones. Two of these zones have the option of being used as wireless zones or hardwired zones for normally closed hardwired security devices. The rest must be used as wireless zones. This is plenty of zones for most households and small businesses. Like most Interlogix alarm panels, the Simon XT interfaces with sensors that communicate at a wireless frequency of 319.5 MHz. This makes the system compatible with all GE/Interlogix and Qolsys wireless sensors that operate on this legacy frequency. The Qolsys encrypted S-line sensors are not compatible.

Out of the box, the Simon XT can only communicate using a POTS (plain old telephone service) connection. The system requires an additional module to utilize cellular communication which is highly recommended. You can choose between the Verizon, AT&T and Telus (Canada Only) cellular networks. By using a cellular radio, the Simon XT can interface with the Alarm.com platform. This service allows users to remotely arm and disarm their system, check the status of their sensors and control Z-Wave devices. Alarm.com also allows users to control the Simon XT using certain smart assistants, including Google Home and Amazon Alexa. Alarm.com is constantly expanding their lineup of cloud integrations with brands like Nest thermostat, Liftmaster MyQ and Lutron Caseta. This makes the Interlogix Simon XT an affordable basic option for users who are looking to integrate their alarm system with the robust Alarm.com interactive service.

The Simon XT can also interface with up to 232 different Z-Wave home automation devices. This will require one of the Alarm.com radios since the automation controller is integrated into the same module. The Z-Wave nodes are limited to controllable devices such as lights, locks or thermostats. The system will not support Z-Wave versions of burglary, life safety or environmental sensors. These devices are considered separate from the 40 main zones on the system. With all that said, adding an Alarm.com cellular communicator to your Simon XT adds a ton of value and really cannot be matched with phone line monitoring service. Cut the cord and get a cellular radio if you are on the fence.

Another helpful feature of the Simon XT is its spoken-voice capabilities. This function enables the Simon XT System to verbally announce the name of any programmed sensor that has been activated. With this feature, users will have an easy time identifying a faulted or troubled sensor. The panel also offers options for chimes and confirmation beeps. Many users program chimes so that they receive an audible alert whenever a door or window has been opened. Meanwhile, the push-confirmation beeps are helpful for many users in making sure that their panel commands are going through properly. A user can enable or disable these system sounds at any time.

The Simon XT will support up to eight programmable access codes. For situations where a greater number of users will need to access the system, we recommend choosing a more robust panel like the IQ2 or GC3. Additionally, new users should be aware that the Simon XT can have a slightly more difficult learning curve than a system with a touchscreen display. But for those who are seeking a very basic wireless system with the potential of doing more, the Interlogix Simon XT is a very capable choice.

Please Note: The former GE Simon XT was simply rebranded as the Interlogix Simon XT. Also, if you end up installing an Alarm.com cellular communicator, it will occupy zone 40 on the Simon XT. A replacement power transformer for this system can be purchased here.

The Interlogix Simon XTi-5 is a wireless all-in-one alarm panel that serves as the primary controller for a standalone security system. The panel includes a built-in 5-inch LCD touchscreen display that makes it very easy for end users to navigate and program. This is the latest release of the Interlogix Simon panel lineup with the original push-button Simon XT and the smaller 3.5-inch touchscreen Simon XTi. Other than the panel display, the XTi-5 is essentially the same as the two earlier model Simon panels. Overall, the Simon XTi-5 is great for users who are looking for a basic control panel that can be easily upgraded to perform additional features. The relatively large LCD touchscreen display and the bright, easy to identify buttons of the XTi-5 are sure to provide a fantastic user experience.

The XTi-5 can readily communicate with sensors that operate at a wireless frequency of 319.5 MHz. This means the panel will support a wide array of legacy GE/Interlogix and Qolsys wireless sensors. The Qolsys S-line encrypted sensors are not supported. The legacy interlogix 319.5MHz protocol is a particularly diverse lineup of advanced burglary and life safety sensors. Up to 40 different zones can be programmed to the XTi-5 panel. This is plenty of zones for most homes and small businesses. While 38 of these zones are for wireless sensors only, the other two can potentially be used with normally closed hardwired contacts. These two zones can also interface with wireless sensors, just like the other 38 wireless zones, if unused by wired ones.

Out of the box, the Simon XTi-5 will only support a physical phone line (POTS) connection. In order to get the most out of the system, it is necessary to add cellular communications. This requires purchasing a separate cellular communicator module and inserting it into the XTi-5 keypad. Alarm Grid recommends the Alarm.com cellular communicators that operate on the Verizon, AT&T and Telus (Canada Only) networks. Choose the one that has best signal in your area. Once the XTi-5 panel has the cellular installed, the system can then sync with the Alarm.com interactive service.

The Alarm.com service allows users to arm and disarm their panel remotely, check the status of their security sensors and control automation devices. Alarm.com is also needed for interfacing the XTi-5 panel with interactive voice assistants like Google Home and Amazon Alexa. There are also tons of other cloud level integrations you can benefit from such as Liftmaster MyQ garage doors, Nest thermostats and Lutron Caseta lighting systems.

Alarm.com radios also include a Z-Wave controller to provide the panel with local Z-Wave functionality. After installing the cell module, the XTi-5 will be capable of supporting up to 232 total Z-Wave devices. These Z-Wave devices are considered separate from the 40 zones on the alarm system. Some popular Z-Wave devices to use with a Simon XTi-5 System include Z-Wave lights, locks and thermostats. These devices can then be controlled locally at the pane or remotely using the Alarm.com Mobile App.

The Simon XTi-5 provides support for up to eight different programmable user codes. While this isn"t nearly as many as some more advanced systems, eight codes are plenty for many households and small businesses. However, if a large number of different users will be using the panel, we recommend choosing a more robust system like the GC3 or IQ2. Another useful feature of the Simon XTi-5 is its full spoken voice capability. This allows an end user to easily identify any programmed sensor that has experienced a fault or trouble condition. The panel also offers a chime function so a user can quickly tell when a door or window has been opened. Both the voice and chime functions can be toggled on or off if needed.

Please Note: The Interlogix Simon XTi-5 is simply a rebranded GE Simon XTi-5. Also, any Alarm.com cellular module will occupy zone 40. Remember to keep that zone vacant. A replacement power transformer for this system can be purchased here.

Should you need a new, compatible module, look for a 4G LTE 600-1048-XT-LTE-VZ cellular module. This would be compatible with XT, XTi and XTi-5. (Interlogix recently halted its security business and some parts for Interlogix panels can be difficult to source.)

Note, for users with the Simon XT, the minimum panel firmware requirement to work with a 4G module is 1.3. You can confirm the panel’s firmware by scrolling through the menu until you get to Revision.

If you are instead looking to upgrade your system, the Qolsys IQ Panel 4 sold through Surety uses a 4G LTE communicator and the same legacy 319.5 mhz sensor radio as the Simon panels, so existing wireless sensors (with the exception of Alarm.com Image Sensors) can be easily paired with the IQ Panel 4.
