simon xt lcd panel in stock

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 GE Interlogix Simon XT Control Panel Keypad is a cost-effective security system that offers up to 40 zones of burglary and fie protection. It has a built-in display touchpad and a status speaker that provides visual and voice messages for feedback.

The Simon XT™ Two-Way Talking Touch Screen is a color LCD screen featuring a user-friendly interface that compliments Simon XTi and Simon XT security systems for safety and peace of mind. In addition, optional wireless devices can be added to provide control over other functions including Z-Wave® wireless lighting control devices, Z-Wave wireless thermostats for home HVAC systems, and Z-Wave door lock control.

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 GE 60-924-RF-TS Simon® XT Two-Way Talking Touch Screen is a color LCD screen featuring a user-friendly interface that compliments Simon XTi and Simon XT security systems for safety and peace of mind. In addition, optional wireless devices can be added to provide control over other functions including Z-Wave® wireless lighting control devices, Z-Wave wireless thermostats for home HVAC systems, and Z-Wave door lock control. This touch screen is the ideal solution for providing additional points of control throughout the home. Up to four touch screens can be installed in one home for maximum convenience.

Simon® XT is a cost-effective security system that offers up to 40 zones of burglary and fire protection, and which complies with SIA False Alarm Standards. With a built-in display touchpad and a status speaker that provides visual and voice messages for feedback, Simon XT is well suited for houses, apartments, and condominiums. Optional GSM reporting and alarm.com features support off-premises control to arm and disarm the system, check system status, activate no-entry delay, or activate the latchkey feature.

Hi, my name"s Jason with alarmsystemstore.com. In today"s video I"m going to be doing an unboxing of the Simon XTi-5. As always make sure you subscribe to our channel, we"re releasing new videos all the time, really helps us out for you to do that. And you can hit the bell on there as well to get notifications of our new videos. So let"s go ahead and go to the table and we"ll get started on the unboxing.

So here"s the box for the Simon XTi starter kit. This is made by Interlogix. The box gives you a lot of information. So if you look right here it gives you a rundown of some of the features. So 40 zone support with up to two hard-wired, it"s got a 5-inch LCD color touchscreen with at-a-glance status and menu-based system program, and also has built-in speech support. So now some of those features I"m not really going to show in this video, but just give you an idea what they mean. So basically when you look at the screen and so it"s got a picture one here, you can see doors closed, windows closed, no motion, etc.

So see what else we have on the box here. A lot of the same stuff here. On the back, on the backside, it does show some accessories. So door/window sensor, a couple of different kinds there, keyfob, motion detector, carbon monoxide detector, and also a two-way talking touchscreen keypad. So this is a nice secondary keypad if you need more than just the main panel. Now, this is definitely not an exhaustive list. The Simon XTi-5 is compatible with all the Interlogix"s wireless sensors. And then, of course, that is the only option currently for the secondary keypad.

Now the Simon XTi-5 is pretty easy to programm though. You don"t really need a whole lot of information. And this for an alarm system is a pretty small installation manual. It"s 12 half pages front and back. So it"s not much there. And then it gives you an operation guide. So this is kind of going to be your day-to-day use. What the things mean. How to do different things. You know what swinger shutdown is, how to disarm a lot of basic information, a little bit more advanced information. Again, this will be really good to read through for everybody. Whether or not you think you need to.

And if we open this flap up here, we get the actual Simon XTi itself. Now this is not a large panel by any means. It can fit in a lot of places. It"s got the five inch touch screen on it. Not real thick, pretty standard. So it"s pretty sleek-looking as well, it"s got kind of the little holographic ink there. And let"s see what else we have.

So this is your RJ31X so this is going to be, like, your phone line take over module if you"re using a phone line that"s not dedicated to the alarm. Or if, you know, if you have any other phones attached it"s a good idea to use that simply for the fact that if somebody else is on the phone line you want your alarm system to be able to take over the phone line and call out. All right. So this is the Simon XTi.

Now to get the actual panel open you have to take this front plate off. So there"s a little notch right here you can use a coin or just pry it open with some screwdriver like that. And then the whole front panel pulls off.

So that"s everything you get. Again, you get your main panel, you get a backup battery, some mounting hardware, as well as some resistors, you get your power transformer and your wire. If you need to extend this, this is just gonna be, you know, 18-gauge wire. Nothing too extensive needed. But that should be enough for you. You get your phone line in RJ31X and then your manuals.

All right you guys, that"s all there is to the unboxing. If you like the Simon XT, the Simon XTi-5 is a logical upgrade for you. I really like the system. It"s pretty nice, really intuitive.
