Introduction 

The HSPA 3G module (part numbers 600-1048-XT-ZX-TM , 

600-1048-XT-ZX-AT AND 600-1048-XT-ZX-RG) for Simon XT 

and XTi enables

 

wireless reporting of all alarms and other 

system events from the

 

Simon XT and XTi control panels using 

an all-digital, HSPA wireless

 

(cellular) network. The module 

can be used as

 

the primary communication path for all alarm 

signaling, or as a backup to a

 

telephone line connection to the 

central monitoring station. The

 

wireless alarm signaling and 

routing service is operated by

 

Alarm.com.

 

The V4 module also 

features integrated support for Alarm.com’s emPower

TM 

solution with built-in Z-Wave capabilities.

 

The module interfaces with the Simon XT and XTi panel 

boards, fits into a special compartment inside the

 

panel, and is 

powered by the control panel and panel battery. 

Compatibility

 

The V4 module with firmware version 151 & up is compatible 

with Simon XT and XTi panels. Older versions of the 

Alarm.com module, including versions of the V4 module with 

previous firmware versions are not compatible with the Simon 

XTi. 

Account creation  

Before installing an Alarm.com HSPA 3G Module in a Simon 

XT or XTi system, a new customer account needs to be 

created with Alarm.com. We recommend creating the account 

at least 24 hours in advance of installation to ensure that the 

radio is activated prior to installation. 

To activate an account go to www.alarm.com/dealer and login. 

Under the 

“Customers” heading at the top left of the page click 

on “Create New Customer”. You will need the following 
customer information to create the account: 

• 

Customer Name  

• 

Customer Address  

• 

Customer Phone Number 

• 

Customer E-mail 

• 

Preferred login name for the customer  

• 

Alarm.com Radio Serial Number 

At the end of the account creation process you will be able to 

print a Welcome Letter for the customer that has their login 

information and temporary password for the Alarm.com 

website.
