Does the Interlogix Simon XT Support Partitions?
It is not possible to use multiple partitions with the Interlogix Simon XT. The panel can only provide support for one single partition that represents the entire system. There is also no way to set different access for different user codes. Learn more about the Interlogix Simon XT System.
Can I Use an LT-Cable w/ an Interlogix Simon XT Alarm System?
Using a Honeywell LT-Cable can make it easier to get power to a Simon XT System. The cable will eliminate the need to strip any wires, and it will work just as effectively as a traditional 18-gauge 2-conductor wire. Learn more about wiring an Interlogix Simon XT using a Honeywell LT-Cable.
Will an Interlogix Simon XT Work w/ Google Home?
Google Home can link with an Interlogix Simon XT System through the Alarm.com service. The user's Alarm.com account login information is shared with the Google Home App so that the Google Home device can control the Simon XT System. Learn how to integrate a Simon XT System with Google Home.
How Long Does a Siren Sound For on an Interlogix Simon XT?
On an Interlogix Simon XT System, the siren will continue to sound until the system is disarmed or when the siren timeout period expires. The system can be disarmed with any valid code. The siren timeout period can be adjusted from system programming. Learn more about the siren on a Simon XT.
How Do I Enroll a Schlage Z-Wave Lock on an Interlogix Simon XT?
A Schlage Z-Wave lock is enrolled with an Interlogix Simon XT by first putting the system into Z-Wave inclusion mode. Next, activate the inclusion function on the lock. The system should recognize the lock and learn it in. Learn how to enroll a Schlage Z-Wave lock with a Simon XT System.
What Kind of Wire Do I Need to Use to Install an Interlogix Simon XT?
The Interlogix Simon XT connects with a 9-volt AC transformer to receive power. This connection is made using 18-gauge two-conductor wire. Since AC power is used, polarity is not an issue. The AC transformer is plugged-in to the wall. Learn more about providing power to a Simon XT System.
How Long Does the Interlogix Simon XT Backup Battery Last?
The Interlogix Simon XT receives power primarily from a 9-volt AC transformer. But if AC power to the system is ever lost, then the panel will rely on its backup battery. The backup battery requires a replacement roughly every two to three years. Learn more about the Simon XT System.
How Do I Get Power to an Interlogix Simon XT?
The Interlogix Simon XT gets its primary power from a 9-volt AC plug-in transformer. An 18-gauge two-conductor wire connects the panel and the transformer. The panel also uses a backup battery in case power from the AC transformer is ever lost. Learn more about the Simon XT power supply.
How Do I Use an Interlogix Simon XT to Control a Garage Door?
To get a Simon XT to control a garage door, you must obtain a Z-Wave garage door opener and a Z-Wave controller for the system. The panel's Z-Wave controller will communicate with the Z-Wave garage door opener to raise and lower the garage door. Learn more about using Z-Wave with the Simon XT.
