press the status button it will tell what is wrong. GL

Did you run sensor test(drop down cover enter you code pess test button then done button. let run 5 min. close cover press status button If that fixes great. If not, you need multi meter. remove battery put metter on leeds coming off panel. You should see voltage there at least equal to the battery. If not then you may see the the red wire for battery has a lump in it about 1" long that is a fuse. remove wire from panel and meter for resistance/continuity/ohms what ever you want to call it. if there is no resistance or an open ckt then replace that wire.if you see resistance in wire then you have a bad panel. GL.

My understanding is that GE does not produce a wireless interior siren any longer. So if yo want to get a siren in the garage a wire will have to be run from the Simon 3 to the location in the garage where you would like to place the siren. PS ADT will not run wires to a detached garage. GL

I went on ebay did quick search "magnet for ademco". found tons. GL.

http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=magnet+for+ademco&_sacat=0&_odkw=magnet+for+ademco+wireless+contact&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

Take the small part (the magnet) off of the dr or dr framemove it around the large part (the contact) and see if it clears. If you cant see the control panel/keypad from the dr you may need help. As you move the maget around the contact slowly you want to see if the zone clears. My guess is the magnet is is not in they right place. if you open the cover on the contact the magnet should be parallel to the reed switch(a glass tube about 3/4"long).GL.

The user manual for the GE Simon XT model 600-1054-95R is available here: http://www.securtek.com/products-services/system-user-guides/ge/GE%20SimonXT%20User%20Manual.pdf . I don't see a manual for the 600-1054-95R-11 or 600-1054-95R-11-CN available.

I hope this helps.

battery is old and failing under load

testing battery with no load is not true example of battery condition

try powering small light bulb to simulate a load and test battery then for true reading

Yes, you need to replace the battery. It's behind the front cover, which will have to be removed to replace the battery.

I can't say I agree with you, but yes...you could be right.

X10 is a signal format transmitted over the power lines, there is no special X10 wiring in the house as such. The siren and your outside lights are X10 receivers which are sent a signal from the X10 transformer connected to the alarm panel. The alarm panel sends the codes which are transmitted as X10 to the X10 external devices. Most houses now days have at least two 120 volt feeds coming into the main power panel, this provides the 240 volt required for electric stoves and dryers. Because of the two separate feeds split at the panel, the 60 cycles is usually out of phase with each other. To get X10 to work and stay in phase on each side of the panel you need to have wired a passive coupler across both 120 volt inputs. This coupler keeps both 120 inputs in phase with each other and provides a clear X10 transmit across the house wiring.

Why do you want to by-pass the sensor? It's there for a reason after all. If you KNOW the battery is bad, replacing it should bring the unit back into proper operation. *Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, despite the handle.

crystal based transmitters and some pll based transmitters can stop transmitting or change their frequency sufficiently during hot or cold temperature excursions causing them to go outside the monitored range fo the base receiver which looks like them going off line to the control panel. This is a sign that the particular sensor has a bad or out of spec component in the transmitter board of the sensor. You can resolve the issue by either replacing that unit or by reassigning it to an area that maintains a more moderate temperature profile. Replacing it is generally the best bet so that if it dwells on the cusp of being within the correct frequency range it could cause a false alarm under the right conditions.

The small piece you refer to is actually a magnet that is mounted inside a plastic case. I would suggest the easiest way to replace it is to go to a nearby Radio Shack or similar electronics store and have them show you their stock of magnetic contacts for hardwired security systems. These contacts come in two pieces; a contact and a magnet. Match the magnet that most likely resembles the one you are missing and mount on your window/door with either screws or double sided sticky tape. Hope this helps.

Hi.

Ensure that you have replaced batteries with alkaline type. To reset the whole system remove batteries and trip main circuit breaker for five minutes. The system gets reset when you drain power completely from all units.

Please rephrase your problem, it makes no sense whatsoever. Sorry if your first language is not English, but if you want help, even simi proper grammar goes a long way.
