Home security
The Simon XT allows you to control which sensors are active at any given time. Table 4 describes the arming
levels that you can set from the control panel.
Arming/disarming
Arming a sensor makes it active and allows the panel to generate an alarm when a door or window is opened,
or when an unauthorized person enters a specific area. Disarming makes the sensor inactive in the system. The
current arming level is shown on the panel display and changes in arming level are announced on the speaker.
Table 4. Simon XT arming levels
Level Function Description
0 Subdisarm If your system includes 24-hour protection sensors on items such as gun or jewelry cases, you
must subdisarm the panel before accessing these areas to avoid causing an alarm.
Environmental sensors, such as smoke and carbon monoxide, stay active at all times.
1 Disarm In this level, only 24-hour sensors are active.
2 Stay This level arms the door and window sensors, while leaving the interior motion sensors
disarmed.
3 Away This level lets you arm the interior motion sensors and the exterior door and window sensors.
