Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Make an Interlogix Simon XT a Secondary Z-Wave Controller?
The Simon XT does not include a built-in Z-Wave controller. To use Z-Wave devices with the system, a user will need to install some type of Z-Wave controller. Even then, Z-Wave devices cannot be operated directly from the Simon XT Panel itself. Learn more about Z-Wave home automation.
How Do I Enroll a Z-Wave Lock to My Interlogix Simon XT?
A Z-Wave lock can be enrolled with an Interlogix Simon XT by first putting the system into its inclusion mode. The inclusion function on the Z-Wave lock must then be activated. The panel should recognize the lock and enroll it with the system. Learn how to enroll a Z-Wave lock with a Simon XT.
How Do I Add Additional User Codes to an Interlogix Simon XT?
The Simon XT System will support up to eight different user codes. These codes are used for arming and disarming the panel, and they are set up through System Programming. You will need to know the Master Code for the system to create new user codes. Learn how to set up user codes on a Simon XT.
How Do I Add a Key Fob to an Interlogix Simon XT?
A key fob is enrolled with an Interlogix Simon XT through the System Programming Menu. With the system in its learn more, press and hold the top two buttons on the key fob. This will enroll it with the system. You must then adjust its settings. Learn more about using a key fob with a Simon XT.
Will an Interlogix Simon XT Work w/o a Phone Line?
The only way for a Simon XT to receive monitoring without a phone line is with cellular service. Either a phone line or cellular service is needed for the panel to send outbound signals. Also, no communicator is needed to use the panel as a local sounder. Learn more about the Simon XT.
Can I Use Door/Window Sensors with an Interlogix Simon XT?
The Interlogix Simon XT will support door and window sensors that operate at a wireless frequency of 319.5 MHz. This includes GE/Interlogix Sensors and Qolsys Sensors. These sensors are learned in through system programming. Learn more about the sensors used with an Interlogix Simon XT.
Will Honeywell 5800 Sensors Work on an Interlogix Simon XT?
The Simon XT communicates with wireless sensors that operate at a frequency of 319.5 MHz. Since Honeywell 5800 Sensors operate at a frequency of 345 MHz, they cannot be used with the system. But there are many other sensors that will work instead. Find out which sensors will work with a Simon XT.
Will Alarm.com Work w/ an Interlogix Simon XT?
Alarm.com is the interactive service used with a Simon XT System. The service is used to arm and disarm the system, check the status of sensors and control Z-Wave devices. A Simon XT must have active cellular service before it can work with Alarm.com. Learn more about the Simon XT and Alarm.com.
What Happens to an Interlogix Simon XT When Internet Goes Down?
The loss of internet does not impact an Interlogix Simon XT in any sort of way. This is because the Simon XT cannot use an IP connection. Instead, it must communicate using cellular service or a telephone connection. Learn more about the communication paths used with an Interlogix Simon XT.
Will 2GIG Sensors Work on an Interlogix Simon XT?
The Interlogix Simon XT is compatible with wireless sensors that operate at a wireless frequency of 319.5 MHz. However, 2GIG sensors operate at a wireless frequency of 345 MHz. This means that they are not compatible with the Simon XT System. Learn which sensors are compatible with the Simon XT.
