Note
To verify the communication
between the panel and the
keypad, close the panel's
cover to put the panel in run
mode. Press the SYSTEM
STATUS button on the key-
pad. The keypad should
announce the correct sys-
tem status (i.e. "System Dis-
armed").

4. Press Test.
The panel responds with Sensor test, press again to change or DONE to select.
5. Press DONE.
The panel will prompt you to trip each sensor one at a time. To trip the keypad, press and hold the
two Emergency buttons simultaneously for three seconds. You may follow the panel voice
prompting or test the sensors in any order. Use the "Sensor Tripping Instructions" table in your
Simon 3 Installation Manual to trip sensors.
We recommend that you test the keypad after all programming is completed and whenever a key-
pad-related problem occurs.
If a Keypad Fails a Sensor Test
If panel sirens do not beep when a keypad is tripped, use a GE Security RF Sniffer (60-401) test
tool to verify that the keypad is transmitting. Constant beeps from the RF Sniffer indicate a run-
away (faulty) keypad. Two or three beeps from the RF Sniffer indicates the keypad is functional,
but may have to be relocated. If the keypad is faulty, replace it.
How to Improve Sensor Communication
•
Relocate the keypad.
•
If necessary, replace the keypad.
¾
To Relocate a Keypad:
1. Test the keypad 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 keypad in the new location (see Mounting the Keypad section).
4. If no location is acceptable, replace the keypad.
¾
To Replace a Keypad:
1. Test a known good keypad at the same location.
2. If transmission beeps remain below the minimum level, avoid mounting a keypad at the loca-
tion.
3. If the replacement keypad functions, contact GE Security for repair or replacement of the
problem keypad.
Mounting the Keypad
To mount the keypad on a wall, do the following:
1. Open the door of the keypad.
2. Gently pull down on the tab at the bottom of the keypad to separate the keypad body from the
keypad mounting plate (Figure 1).
3. Hold the keypad mounting plate against the wall. Using the two screws included with the key-
pad, attach the keypad mounting plate to the wall through the mounting holes (Figure 2).
