Simon Security System 37
Option 38: Auto Arm 
(Default = on)
Determines how long the system protests (announces open/failed sen-
sors) when attempting to arm with open/failed sensors, before bypassing 
these sensors and automatically arming the rest of the system.
Note  
The panel protests an arming attempt when it has not received a restore 
(close) signal from sensors learned into restore-specific sensor groups. Sen-
sors learned into group 26 (Fire) cannot be bypassed. See “Sensor Group 
Characteristics” in “Appendix B” to identify sensor groups with restore signal 
requirements.
When this option is on, the panel announces all open/failed sensors 
repeatedly for 4 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.
Note  
This option must be on for Option 52 and 59: Unvacated Premises and Exit 
Extension to work correctly.
If there are open sensors, pressing the ARM Doors & Windows button a 
second time (before the 4-minute time expires) bypasses all open sen-
sors and arms the rest of the system. Pressing this button a third time 
eliminates the entry delay.
If there are no open sensors, pressing the ARM Doors & Windows but-
ton a second time (before the exit delay expires) eliminates the entry 
delay.
Note  
For UL Listed systems, this option must be on.
When this option is off, the panel announces 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.
Note  
If a Group 13 (Instant Perimeter) sensor is opened during the exit delay, the 
panel goes into immediate alarm.

Option 39: Siren Timeout 
(Default = 004 minutes)
Determines how long sirens sound alarms if no one is 
present to disarm the system.
The time can be set from 002 - 254 minutes. Entries 
must be 3 digits. When this feature is turned off, sirens 
sound alarms until the alarm is canceled (system is dis-
armed).
Note  
For UL listed systems, Siren Timeout must be set to at least 
4 minutes.
