Step 2: Enter the programmers 4-digit access code and press the “Ok” button.
This is not the code you use to arm the alarm but a separate code for setting up the alarm. If you don’t know it talk to the company you purchased the alarm from. The alarm will not tell you that you entered an incorrect password–if the menu you are looking for isn’t there after you enter the code, you’ve likely entered the wrong code.

Step 5: Press the down or up arrows to select the sensor you would like to delete and then press the “Ok” button to delete the sensor.
The first sensor it will list will be the CDMA or GSM module:

Did you accidentally delete sensor 40? No problem, simply power cycle the alarm and it will be back again–no big deal.
Hint: Press the “Status” button to go back at any time.

I have a Simon XT. I can get to step 3, but sensors is not one of the choices. My choices are: Access codes, Security, Phone #s, Timers, Siren options, Light control, System tests
I believe that is because you are not entering the correct code. You can have a user code and a separate program code. If you enter the programmer code you get all the options.
