Clear a Severe Weather Alert from an Interlogix Simon XTi
Severe Weather Alerts to the panel notify customers of incoming dangerous weather. The alerts only come in for tornado, fire, or tsunami warnings. When an alert comes in, there will be a series of audible beeps and a message on the panel.
To clear a Severe Weather Alert from an Interlogix Simon XTi panel:
- Tap the alarm message.
- Disarm the panel.
When a Severe Weather Alert is issued, the panel will issue an alarm with low siren for the duration of the panel’s siren timeout on sensor 39 Weather Alert.
Once disarmed, the user can view a scrolling banner on the bottom of the XTi panel screen that states the nature of the severe weather and the expiration time of the warning as specified by the National Weather Service. The banner automatically clears 30 minutes after the alert expires or 30 minutes after the system is disarmed, depending on which is later.
Note: On the Interlogix Simon XTi, Severe Weather Alerts adds a sensor 39 named Weather with a sensor type of Severe Weather Sensor. To delete this sensor, remove Severe Weather Alerts from the customer's Service Package.
