System menu
Your Simon XT self-contained security system security system allows you to program certain user options,
such as access codes, time schedules, or the system time. These options are accessed through a system menu.
Entering and exiting the system menu
To enter the system menu, press the scroll up/down buttons or the Enter button in the upper right of the panel.
Press Status to exit a menu or option edit mode and navigate up one level. Pressing Status while in the top
menu level exits the system menu. The panel automatically exits the system menu after a few seconds of
inactivity if no access code has been entered. After an access code has been entered to access a code-protected
area of the system menu, the timeout is 30 minutes.
Code options
The Simon XT security system provides a system of codes to be entered when a certain level of authority is
required to perform an action. These codes allow you to activate system options, customize panel operations,
and generate a silent alarm. The default code is based on the code length (3, 4, 5, or 6-digit code) determined at
installation. The code types are listed in
Table 10 .
Note: Any combination of invalid codes in excess of 40 keypresses (such as fourteen invalid three-digit codes) will cause a
system access alarm. The alarm locks all touchpads, except keyfobs, for 90 seconds.

User codes 1 through 8 These eight codes are supplemental user codes. These codes can be used for panel
operations such as disarming, but not programming. These codes can be any 3, 4, 5, or 6-
digit code, depending on the code length.
Duress code The duress code is used to generate a silent duress alarm while disarming.
