When the users turn mode 01 {Home mode} off,
and mode 02 {Holiday mode} on, thermostat 1 will
follow the Away occupancy setting.
If you assign an occupancy setting to
more than one mode, the item follows
its assigned schedules/PGM outputs
when any of its assigned modes are
ON. To prevent an item assigned to
more than one mode from following
any of its assigned schedules/PGM
outputs, ALL the modes assigned to
the item must be turned OFF.
8.3 Programming Modes to Follow
PGM Outputs
You can assign any mode to follow a panel event
(e.g. a fire or burglary alarm, or a [ ][7][1-4]
command). To do this, assign the mode to a PGM
output programmed to follow the same event. There
can be up to 14 PGM outputs, depending on the
control panel.
See your control panel Installation Manual for a list
of available panel events (PGM output options).
Example 1:
If the users will be away for a period of time, they
may want to turn on a {Holiday mode}. You can
program a mode to control items such as lights and
drapery in such a way that the premises will appear
occupied. See the example in section 6.7 for a
description of programming for a {Holiday mode}.
If you have programmed mode 01 as a {Holiday
Mode}, you can assign it to a PGM output
programmed as Command Output 1 ([ ][7][1]).
Now, when users want to turn ON the {Holiday
Mode}, they only need to enter [ ][7][1] at any
keypad.
Modes turned ON this way override other modes or
schedules that might be running.
NOTE: In order for the VPM5580TC to announce
{Holiday Mode} for a mode or command output,
you must program a label for the mode or
command output.

Example 2:
A thermostat may be set up so that, normally, the
Day and Night Occupancy Settings together control
its operation 24 hours a day, each day of the week.
If the users will be away for a period of time, they
may want to turn on the thermostat's Away setting
which is set up for a different temperature range 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.
To have the Away setting override the Day and
Night settings, assign the Away setting to a mode
(e.g. mode 02). You can assign mode 02 to a PGM
output programmed as Command Output 2
([ ][7][2]). The users can then enter [ ][7][2] at
any keypad to turn on mode 02. When mode 02 is
turned on this way, it turns on the Away occupancy
setting, overriding the Day and Night Occupancy
settings, until the users enter [ ][7][2] again.
To assign a mode to a PGM output:
1. Enter section [292], PGM Mode Enable.
2. Enter the 2-digit number of the PGM output you
3. Enter the 2-digit number(s) of the mode(s) you
4. To exit, press [#].
If you assign a mode to a PGM programmed as
Command Output 1-4, you can program the
VPM5580TC to announce a label (e.g. {Holiday
mode}) whenever it refers to the Command
Output. See section 3.4 for information on
programming labels.
