Access Code
A 4- or 6-digit code that allows users to access arming,
disarming and other system functions. Different access
codes may be assigned to different users.
Automation Item
Automation Items are devices (e.g. lights, appliances,
etc.) connected to X-10 modules and controlled
within the Home Automation feature of the VPM5580TC
system. Automation items can be controlled manually,
or with schedules and/or PGM outputs.
Command Output / Output Control
You can program any programmable output (PGM
output) on the system to work as a Command
Output (1-4). See your control panel Installation
Manual for more information. Users can activate
Command Outputs by entering [*][7][1-4] at any
keypad, or through the VPM5580TC.
When you assign items, occupancy settings or
modes to PGM outputs programmed as Command
Outputs, users can enter [*][7][1-4] to turn the
items, occupancy settings, or modes on or off.
You can program a label for each Command Output
(Output Control labels). See section 3.4,
"Programming Label Entry Sections".
Mode
Modes give users control over groups of Automation
items or thermostat occupancy settings
programmed for scheduled, or event-initiated
operation. Users can turn a mode on or off to
activate/deactivate the items/thermostat settings
assigned to it. When a mode is turned on, each of
these items/thermostat settings will operate
according to their assigned schedule(s) / PGM
outputs.
Occupancy Setting
Each thermostat has four different temperature
ranges that can be programmed. These
temperature ranges are called Occupancy
Settings:
Day Occupancy Setting
Night Occupancy Setting
Auxiliary Occupancy Setting
Away Occupancy Setting.

These occupancy settings allow users to easily
change the temperature range for the area
controlled by the thermostat. Depending on which
Thermostat Mode is turned on, the thermostat will
use either heating or cooling devices to maintain
the temperature within the range programmed for
the occupancy setting.
Partition
A group of zones on the system which are armed/
disarmed and controlled independently of other
zones grouped into a separate partition. Each
partition has its own keypad and can be assigned
its own access codes.
Thermostat Mode
Each thermostat has 4 different Thermostat
Modes:
Cool
Heat
Automatic
Off
If the thermostat is connected to a cooling device
(e.g. air conditioning), use the Cool mode to
maintain the temperature below a certain level. If
the thermostat is connected to a heating device
(e.g. furnace), use the Heat mode to maintain the
temperature above a certain level. If the thermostat
is connected to both a cooling device and a heating
device, use the Automatic mode to maintain the
temperature within a certain range with both the
heating and cooling devices. You can stop
temperature control by selecting the Off mode.
Users can change thermostat modes using the
VPM5580TC, the thermostat, or a system keypad.
Zone
An area (e.g. a room) or barrier (e.g. a door) within
the premises that is monitored by a detector (e.g.
smoke detector, door/window contact, motion
detector, glassbreak detector, etc.).
