Sensor test 

The touch screen is sensitive to its orientation to the control panel. 
For that reason, we recommend you test the touch screen before 
you mount it on the wall. 

To test the touch screen with the Simon XT panel: 

1.  Make sure the panel is disarmed. 

2.  Press the down arrow button on the panel and scroll to 

System Programming. 

3. Press 

OK. 

4.  When the panel displays 

Enter Code

, enter the appropriate 

code and press OK. 

5.  Scroll until the panel displays 

Sensor Test

, press OK to 

start the sensor test. 

The panel will prompt you to trip each sensor one at a time. 

6.  To trip the touch screen, press and hold the Emergency 

button for 5 seconds.  

You can follow the panel voice prompting to test the sensors 
in any order. You should hear the panel beep the number of 
packets received. The panel will also display the number of 
packets received. If you do not hear 6 to 8 panel beeps, see 
To relocate the touch screen:” below. 

We recommend that you test the touch screen after all 
programming is completed and whenever a touch screen related 
problem occurs. 

To verify communication between the panel and the touch screen, 
exit programming mode and then press the System Status icon on 
the touch screen. The touch screen should announce the correct 
system status. 

To relocate the touch screen: 

1.  Test the touch screen a few inches from the original position. 

2.  Increase the distance from the original position. Retest until 

an acceptable location is found. 

3.  Mount the touch screen in the new location (see Mounting). 

Note: 

If you cannot get the touch screen to trip, test a known good 

touch screen at the same location. If the replacement touch 
screen functions, contact GE Security for repair or replacement of 
the faulty touch screen. 

To mount the touch screen: 

1.  Remove the touch screen from the mounting base by 

inserting a small screwdriver into the slot on the bottom of 
the touch screen (see Figure 1 below). 

2.  Hold the base on the wall at the mounting location and mark 

the mounting holes, antenna drop, and power drop. 

3.  Drill 1/8 inch holes into the wall for plastic anchors at the 

mounting hole locations. Cut both the antenna and power 
wire drop openings to the size of the opening in the base. 

4.  Push the two plastic anchors into the drilled holes and tighten 

screws within a ¼ inch of the anchors. 

5.  Feed the power supply plug through the power wire opening. 

6.  Hang the base over the screws, level, and tighten the screws. 

7.  Load four AAA batteries into the battery compartment on the 

back of the touch screen. 

8.  Plug the power into the back of the touch screen, and secure 

the power wire to the loop with the tie wrap provided. 

9.  Feed the antenna wire from the back of the touch screen 

through the rectangular wire drop opening in the wall. 

10.  Angle the top of the touch screen into the hooks on the top of 

the base. Start feeding the power cable through the wire 
drop, and swing the bottom of the touch screen into the 
lower part of the base until you hear it click. 

Note: 

If necessary, use a soft cloth to clear smudges on the 

screen; do not use glass cleaner on the screen.
