You need more than the keypad. There is a central system that can be purchased separate. The sensors wire to that, then that is wired to your keypad or keypads if you have more than one. There are many options that offer different number of sensors etc. It then had to be programmed using the keypad (which is very complicated, but the tools can be found online to do so yourself.) You may want to check to make sure that this keypad allows programing (certain ones are able to and some are not, for instance I purchased one that was key fob enabled, but wasn't able to be used to program the central board. I had to purchase another to program the board. You will have to research it.) But the central board is required for everything, I believe the audio alarm itself is wired to it, the keypad just lets you interact with the central board. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3ds3hStbSiIgsLO-GPbLVUNEGmbt0NLf That is a long video series teaching you how to install your own system. It is long, but I highly recommend watching it all the way through before purchasing anything so you have a better idea of what to get.

I cannot answer this question as it was the security company that installed it.

Small outside sensor was included. Mounts on a screw that you place on outside wall

Just as an alarm? Maybe, but I really recommend that you use someone who has skill and experience. Here it costs $50 to install basic alarm. So that would suggest it's not complicated, but if you mess something up that can cost you much more. Best.

Hello, you need to have a siren which usually comes with your alarm system. The seco-larm receivers are just add ons to your system. You can buy a small alarm system for less than $150 on amazon so you can connect the seco-larm detectors.

Yes, you have to slide open one of the sides, and connect a power cord to the connectors, find a power supply near where you are planning to install it, and run the cable from there to the sensor.

I have no idea. I returned the product. My father told me if I had an existing security system you can add this to it. But I have no idea.

I have one but installed it myself. I own a company that installs any surveillance equipment.

just the siren/strobe and the plug/transformer. you need the security system for it to work.

The system is armed, not specific sensors. What you could do is remove specific sensors from the sensor & add it back later, but takes a bit of effort.

I dont think they are an option but the sensors are so small we never notice them or have company comment that they do. I will say this system has been great & our monitoring company is the best. No contracts or commitments to tie you down is the way to go.

The control panel, and the LCD display both come with anchors and screws so you can essentially mount them on anything you can drill/screw into. For the sensors, you will need some type of shallow thermowell. At a plumbing supply store I found thermowells, but they were much too large. So they had some temperature probes (needle type, non electric), and those probes were mounted on small thermowells, so I bought those. You might need to get creative for a residential situation.

No the sensors are not necessary. I have not connected any of the sensors as of yet because it is in a small area and I have direct sight to my equipment.

I want to know this too, I don't see anywhere to purchase the sensor by itself.

Yes, it comes with all of the sensors. The big pain is that there isn't a way to down load the data on to a computer.

If you have all the access codes for your Simon XT panel, then you can do it yourself. I remember having no significant issues, but I have installed many sensors into my Simon XT.
