Which Sensors Are Compatible with the Simon Series?

In this video, Joe explains which wireless sensors can be used with the Interlogix Simon Series of alarm systems. This system lineup includes the Simon XT, Simon XTi and Simon XTi-5 Panels. Each of these control panels can support 319.5 MHz wireless sensors, such as those from Qolsys and Interlogix.

Each of the Simon Series Panels offers similar capabilities. In fact, the only major difference between the three is that the Simon XT uses a push-button keypad instead of a touchscreen, while the Simon XTi-5 has a larger touchscreen than the Simon XTi. Each Simon System includes a built-in wireless receiver for supporting 319.5 MHz wireless sensors, and each system is capable of supporting up to 40 wireless zones. This makes these systems suitable for most average-sized homes and smaller businesses.

When purchasing wireless sensors for a Simon Series Panel, a user will want to make sure that they operate at 319.5 MHz. Sensors that operate at other wireless frequencies can also be potentially used with the system, but some type of wireless signal converter will be required. Some of the most popular sensors that operate at the 319.5 MHz frequency include those from Qolsys and Interlogix. Most wireless sensors can be learned-in with the system by putting the panel into its enrollment mode and then activating the tamper cover on the sensor.

Unlike some of the new wireless systems on the market, the Simon Series Panels do not have any encrypted wireless sensors. However, they can still support the Qolsys S-Line Sensors. The only thing to remember though is that the Qolsys S-Line Sensors will not utilize rolling code encryption like they would when programmed with a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 System. In most cases, a user can assume that if a sensor operates at 319.5 MHz, then it will work with the system.
