Telephone Line Wiring

See Figure 2.
The Escort5580 module has 4 terminals for the telephone line connection (TIP, RING, T1 and R1). The wiring must be as follows:

• Main Control Panel TIP and RING - incoming line
• Main Control Panel T1 and R1 - Escort5580 TIP and RING
• Escort5580 T1 and R1 - house phones

Enrolling the Device

The Escort5580 will function properly as soon as all wiring is complete and power is applied. However, to fully supervise the Escort5580 from PC50XX v1.x control panels, you need to follow these steps:

Procedure on the PC50XX v1.x

1. Wire the Escort5580 module to the Keybus and telephone line.
2. At a keypad, enter [ ✱ ][8][Installer's Code] to enter Installer Programming.
3. Enter section [902], then press [#] to exit Installer Programming. The panel will automatically search for all modules on the system. The search takes approximately 1 minute. From this point on, if any modules are removed from the system, a Supervisory Trouble will be generated.
4. To confirm supervision, re-enter Installer Programming and then enter section [903]. On LED keypads, light 24 ON represents successful Escort5580 supervision. On LCD keypads, the description "Escort5580" will be displayed if successful.
5. If this is not successful, check all wiring to the Escort5580.

Connecting the PL-513 or PSC04 Controller

The RJ-11X telephone jack on the Escort5580 is for connecting the PL-513 or PSC04 Controller. Use an RJ-11X connector cable to connect the Escort5580 to the PL-513 or PSC04. Plug the PL513 or PSC04 Controller module into any unswitched AC outlet. Connect automation items for lighting and outlet control. These items plug into AC outlets located throughout the installation.
The PL-513 or PSC04 Controller receives commands from the Escort5580 module and sends out signals to control the various automation items connected.
The following diagram shows the cable currently required for connecting the Escort5580 to the PL513 or PSC04. With the jacks side by side (tabs facing up), the colours of the wire in each jack will appear in the same order from left to right. This cable is called a "Straight Through Cable" as per telephone industry standards.

Please do not use a "Swapped", "Flipped" or "Crossover" cable as it will not work with the Escort5580. To verify whether you have the correct type of cable, plug in the PSC04 (PL513). The red LED should turn ON. Connect the telephone cable to both the PSC04 (PL513) and the Escort5580 If the LED on the PSC04 (PL513) turns OFF and remains unlit, you are using the wrong type of cable.

Access Programming

Accessing the Device Locally

To access the Escort5580 locally, pick up any local touchtone telephone and enter the three digit Telephone Access Code (default [***]). The Escort5580 will seize the line and announce
"Hello."

If the Access Code Required for Local Access option is enabled (section [021], option [02]) the Escort5580 will announce
"Enter your Access Code."

Invalid access codes count towards the Main Panel Keypad Lockout, if enabled (see your system's Installation Manual).
The Escort5580 will function even if the telephone line is disconnected. The panel monitors the telephone line and if it senses an interruption to the external telephone line connection it will tell the Escort5580 to provide the current required so that the Escort5580 will continue to function locally. For this to operate properly, enable Telephone Line Supervision on the control panel (see your system's Installation Manual).

Accessing the Device Remotely

Downloading Answer Enabled must be ON in Section [401] of the PC50XX OR section [71] of the PC1580 for Remote Access.

If the Remote Access option (section [021], option [01]) is enabled the Escort5580 users can access the system from any touchtone telephone in the world.

1. Call the telephone number the Escort5580 is connected to.
2. Let the telephone ring one or two times.
3. Hang up and wait 10 seconds before calling again. The Escort5580 will answer after the first or second ring and announce
   "Hello."
4. Enter the 3-digit Telephone Access Code. If this is not entered within 10 seconds the Escort5580 will announce
   "Goodbye,"
   and hang up. Once the correct code has been entered, the system will prompt,
   "Enter your Access Code."
5. Enter a 4- or 6-digit access code. The Escort5580 will begin to announce the status of the system. If you do not enter an access code within 20 seconds, or if you enter it incorrectly 3 times, the Escort5580 will announce
   "Goodbye,"
   and hang up. Invalid access codes count towards the Main Panel Keypad Lockout, if enabled (see your system's Installation Manual).

Global or Partition Operation

If you are connecting the Escort5580 to a system with 2 partitions, you can program the Escort to allow access to both partitions (global operation), or to only one partition.

Global Operation
If the security system has been set up with 2 partitions, enable the Access Code Required for Local Access option (section [021], option [01]). Enabling this option ensures that users can only access partitions they have permission for.
When a user accesses the Escort5580, it will automatically determine which partition(s) to select from the access code entered. (E.g. if the access code entered only works on partition 1, the Escort will allow access to partition 1 and begin to announce its status.)
If the access code entered has permission for both partitions, the Escort5580 will prompt:
"To select {System}, press [1]."
"To select {Partition 2}, press [2]."

Once the user presses [1] or [2], the Escort5580 will grant access to the selected partition and begin to announce its status.
If the partition is in Ready mode, the Escort5580 will prompt either:
"To select {System}, press [#], then [1]."
or
"To select {Partition 2}, press [#], then [2]."

This allows the user to select the other partition if their access code has permission for both partitions.

Partition Operation
If you need to prevent all users from having local access to either of the partitions through the Escort5580, disable Escort access to that partition in section [002], options [01-02].

Do not disable access to both partitions.

Receiving Incoming Calls

If a user is accessing the Escort5580 locally, and an incoming call is detected, the Escort5580 will announce:
"Attention: you have an incoming call. To receive the call, press [#] now."

If the user presses [#], the Escort5580 will connect them to the incoming call. If the user does not press [#], they will continue to have access to the Escort5580.

Programming Audio User Help

If the security system has an audio matrix module (PC59XX and intercom stations) connected to it, the Escort5580 can provide step-by-step audio instructions to users through the intercom stations.

General Voice Prompted Help
You can program one of the keypad function keys to initiate voice prompted user help over all intercom stations. Refer to your system's Installation Manual for more information. When you program a function key for General Voice Prompted Help, it will work in the following way:

1. Press the Help function key on the keypad
2. The Escort5580 will page all intercom stations.
3. Press the Page/Answer button on one of the stations (this button must be pressed within 5 seconds for the feature to work). This links the stations to the Escort5580. The Escort5580 announces audio help prompts over the intercom stations.

Identified Voice Prompted Help
You can program one of the keypad function keys to initiate voice prompted user help over intercom station beside the keypad. Refer to your system's Installation Manual for more information. Use Identified Voice Prompted Help for function keys on LCD keypads. When you program a function key for Identified Voice Prompted Help, it will work in the following way:

1. Press the Help function key on the keypad
2. The Escort5580 announces audio help prompts over the intercom station beside the keypad.

If a user is accessing the Escort locally over the telephone line, the Help function key will not work.

General Device Programming

This section explains the basic options available on the Escort5580. Automation Item programming is explained in section "Automation Item Programming"

Programming Device Prompts

The Escort5580 is designed to make the security system easier for the user by reminding users of available commands. For example, after a user accesses the system, they can press [ ✱ ] and the Escort will announce the [ ✱ ] commands that are available.
Turn on only the prompts that apply to the system you are installing. This will help avoid confusion for the users. The options in section [004] only effect the Escort [ ✱ ] prompts: if a prompt is disabled, users will still be able to enter the command it refers to.
Section [003] determines which Status prompts the user will hear. If an option is "ON", the system will announce the prompt when the appropriate condition is present. If an option is "OFF", the system will not announce the prompt if the condition is present.
Refer to the Programming Worksheets for a list of available prompts.

Status Prompt Mask	Section [003]
[ ✱ ] Function Prompt Mask	Section [004]

Changing the Telephone Access Code

The default Telephone Access Code is [ ✱✱✱ ]. You can change this to any 3 digit code using numbers 0 through 9 as well as the [ ✱ ] and [#] keys.

Avoid programming this code as a valid 3 digit area code or telephone service. Avoid numbers such as [911], [411], [611] or [0XX]. Do not try to exit this section by pressing [#], it will be accepted as a valid digit. To exit, program all 3 digits of the code.

Telephone Access Code

Section [020]

Changing Local Programming Lockout

The Escort5580 can be programmed locally through any touchtone telephone. The Local Programming Lockout Counter determines the number of incorrect Service codes before local programming lockout occurs. If the number of incorrect Service codes are entered the Escort5580 will lock out programming for the number of minutes programmed in Local Programming Lockout Duration. When locked out the Escort5580 will not allow local programming for the duration even if the correct Service code is entered. Programming via the DLS can still be performed if local programming lockout is active.

Local Programming Lockout Counter	Section [005]
Local Programming Lockout Duration	Section [006]
Service Code	Section [001]

Programming the Clock

To have the Escort announce the time in am/pm format (e.g. 9:00am), turn on section [002], option [06]. To have the Escort announce the time in 24hr format (e.g. 21:00), turn off section [002], option [06].

Clock is AM/PM

Section [002]: [06]

Automation Item Programming

Using the Escort5580, users can control up to 32 items such as lights, outlets and window blinds. The Escort5580 controls automation items (lights, outlets, blinds, etc.) through a PL-513 or PSC04 Controller module (see section "Connecting the PL513 or PSC04 Controller" for connection information).
Read sections below carefully before programming automation items.

Enabling Home Automation

For automation items to work, enable the Home Automation feature in section [002], option [03]. You will also need to program each automation item individually, as described in section "Programming Automation Item Operation".
Users will be able to control automation items through the [ ✱ ][5] menu. For additional security, enable the [ ✱ ] [5] requires an Access Code option. If enabled, the Escort5580 will prompt
"Enter Your Access Code"
after the user enters [ ✱ ][5]. If No Access Code Required for [ ✱ ][5] is enabled, the Escort5580 will immediately enter the automation item control menu.
To control the automation items, the PL-513 or PSC04 Controller transmits signals over the 50 or 60 Hz AC power of the premises. Choose either 50Hz or 60Hz in section [002], option [05].
Program the Number of Automation Item Transmissions that the Escort will send when an automation item is activated. Since Automation transmissions are not confirmed, having the Escort5580 transmit multiple on/off commands to the control modules can increase reliability.

Each transmission takes approximately one second. The larger the number, the slower the automation system will appear to operate.

The default setting is [001], one transmission. Valid entries are [001] to [255]. A setting of [003] will overcome most signal transmission difficulties.

[ ✱ ][5] Req. Access Code	Section [002]: [04]
AC=50 or 60Hz	Section [002]: [05]
Number of Automation Item Transmissions	Section [007]

Programming Automation Item Operation

To tell the Escort5580 how each automation item should work, program the operation of each item to be installed in programming sections [130] through [289]. For each item, you need to program these sections:

• Program the home automation item House Code and Unit Number (see section "Programming the House Code & Unit Number")
• Enable the automation item and program various operating options (see section "Programming Automation Item Options")
• Select which schedules (if any) the automation item will follow (see section "Assigning Automation Items to Schedules")
• Select which modes (if any) the automation item will follow (see section "Assigning Automation Items to Modes")
• Select which panel events (PGM outputs) (if any) the automation item will follow (see section "Assigning Automation Items to PGM Outputs").
• Select how the item will be activated and deactivated by programming an output condition for the automation item (see section "Programming How Automation Items are Activated")

Programming sections [130] through [134] for automation item 01 are described in detail in sections "Programming How Automation Items are Activated" to "Assigning Automation Items to Modes". Program automation items 02 through 32 in the same manner.

In addition, you may need to program one or more of the following:

• The On Time, Off Time and Days of the Week of each schedule to be used (see section "Automation Schedule Programming").
• Zone Follower options, if any automation items will follow zones (see section "Programming Automation Items to Follow Zones").
• Automation Item Pulse Timers, if any automation items will turn on for a short period of time when activated (see section "Programming Automation Item Options", option (06)).
• Automation Item Labels, to program what the Escort5580 will say when referring to an automation item (see section "Programming Label Entry Sections").
• Mode Labels, to program what the Escort5580 will say when referring to a mode (see section "Programming Label Entry Sections").

Programming How Automation Items are Activated

Automation items can be activated 6 ways.

• manually ([ ✱ ][5] menu)
• globally ([ ✱ ][5] menu)
• event initiated
• scheduled
• scheduled OR event initiated
• scheduled AND event initiated.

Manual User Control
Users can control the item through the [ ✱ ][5] menu. (E.g. to allow manual control for item 1, turn ON section [131], option [02].) The item can still follow schedules or PGM output assignments, if programmed.
See section Programming Automation Item Options for more information.

Global Item User Control
Users can control items included in the Global command through the [✱][5] menu. (E.g. to include item 1 in the Global command, turn ON section [131], option [03].) The item can still follow schedules or PGM output assignments, if programmed.
See section Programming Automation Item Options for more information.

Event Initiated and Scheduled Automation Item Activation
In addition to manual and global control, you can program automation items to follow pre-set schedules, and/or the state of programmable outputs on the control panel (PGM outputs). PGM outputs can be programmed to activate when events occur. See your system's Installation Manual for more information on PGM outputs.
Enter a 2-digit number in sections [134]-[289] to determine how the automation item will operate.

Automation Item Schedule/ Output Condition

Sections [134] - [289]

(00) Does not follow schedules or PGM outputs
The item will not follow schedules or PGM output assignments.
(01) Event Initiated (Follows PGM Output Only):
The item will follow the state of its assigned PGM output. See section Assigning Automation Items to PGM Outputs.
Example: Item 1 controls a light. If item 1 is assigned to a PGM programmed to follow alarm status, the light will be on when the system is in alarm, and off when the system is not in alarm.
(02) Follows Schedule Only: The item will follow its assigned schedules. See section Assigning Automation Items to Schedules.
Example: Item 1 controls a light. If item 1 is assigned to schedule 3, which activates at 19:00 and deactivates at 22:00 every day, the light will turn on at 7:00pm and off at 10:00pm every day.
(03) Follows Schedule or Event Initiation (PGM Output): The item activates when its assigned schedules are active. The item will also activate when its assigned PGM output is active. If the schedules and the output are active at the same time, the item will also be active. SeeAssigning Automation Items to Schedules and Assigning Automation Items to PGM Outputs sections.
Example: Item 1 controls a light. Item 1 is assigned to schedule 3, which activates at 19:00 and deactivates at 22:00 every day and a PGM output programmed to follow alarm status.
The light will be on between 7:00pm and 10:00pm every day. If the system goes into alarm any time, the light will turn on.
(04) Follows Schedule and Event Initiation (PGM Output): The item activates only when its assigned schedules are active at the same time as the assigned PGM output is active. See Assigning Automation Items to Schedules and Assigning Automation Items to PGM Outputs sections.
Example: Item 1 controls a light. Item 1 is assigned to schedule 3, which activates at 19:00 and deactivates at 22:00 every day and a PGM programmed to follow arming status.
If the system is armed between 7:00pm and 10:00pm, the light will be on during that time. If the system is disarmed between 7:00pm and 10:00pm, the light will be off, but may still be controlled manually by a user on or off the premises.

Programming the House Code & Unit Number

Each automation item has a unique address selected by dials on the X-10 module. To select the X-10 address, use one dial to select a letter from A through P, and the other dial to select a number from 1 through 16.

To enable the Escort to control the item, program the X-10 address into the Escort5580 as the Automation Item House Code and Unit Number. Refer to the Automation Item House Code & Unit Number Chart for the 3-digit number that corresponds to the dial settings.

Assigning Automation Items to Schedules

There are 16 automation schedules in the Escort5580 which determine the ON time, OFF time and Day Mask. See section Automation Schedule Programming for information on programming the schedules. To program an automation item to follow a particular schedule, turn ON the option corresponding to the number of the schedule (e.g. turning ON only option 01, programs the automation item to follow only schedule number 1).

Automation Item Schedule Assignment	Sections [132] - [289]

Assigning Automation Items to Modes

Mode assignment gives users control over groups of automation items programmed for scheduled or event initiated operation. You can assign any automation item to one or more of 8 modes.
Users can turn modes on or off using the [ ✱ ] [5] command. If the Follows Schedule/Output only if a Mode is ON option (section [133]:[05]) is enabled, when a user turns on one or more modes to which the item is assigned, the automation item will activate at the scheduled times or when an event occurs. If all of the modes an item is assigned to are OFF, the item will not activate.

To assign an automation item to one or more modes:

1. Enter the section number corresponding to the automation item ([133] - [288]).
2. Turn on one or more options corresponding to the mode(s) you want the item to follow.

If you assign an item to more than one mode, the item follows its assigned schedules 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, ALL the modes assigned to the item must be turned OFF.

Example: If the users will be away for a period of time, they can use [ ✱ ][5] to turn on a {Holiday mode}.

• Assign automation items such as lights and drapery to a mode (e.g. mode 01).
• Program the schedules and/or programmable outputs for the items in such a way that the premises will appear occupied.
• Program the Escort5580 to announce an appropriate label, such as {Holiday Mode} for mode 01.

When the users turn on mode 01 {Holiday mode}, the lights and drapery will activate according to the programmed schedules and PGM output options.
To provide users with an easier method of turning on any mode, see section "Programming Modes to Follow PGM Outputs".

Automation Item Mode Assignment	sections [133] - [288]
Follows Schedule/Output only if Mode On	sections [131] to [286]: [05]

Program Automation Items 2 through 32 in sections [135] - [289] in the same manner as Automation Item 1 (refer to sections [130]-[134] and the Programming Worksheets for programming instructions).

Assigning Automation Items to PGM Outputs

You can assign an automation item to follow a panel event (e.g. a fire or burglary alarm, or a [ ✱ ][7][1-4] command). To do this, assign the item to a PGM output programmed to follow the same event. See your control panel Installation Manual for a list of available panel events (PGM output options).

Example: if you assign item 1 to follow a PGM output programmed as Command Output 1, the item will activate or deactivate whenever the user activates the command output (e.g. using [ ✱ ][7][1]).

To assign an item to a PGM output:

1. Enter the 3-digit section number corresponding to the automation item you want to program [401] - [432].
2. Enter the 2-digit number of the PGM output you want the item to follow (01-14).
3. If you have assigned item(s) to a PGM output programmed as a Command Output ([*][7][14]), you can program a label for the Command Output in programming sections [545] - [548] (Output Control labels). See section "Programming Label Entry Sections".

On PC50XX v1.0 control panels, valid entries are (03-14) only. On PC1580 v1.0 and higher control panels, valid entries are (01-02) only.

Up to 4 automation items can be programmed to follow any one PGM output on the system.

sections [401] - [432]

Programming Automation Items to Follow Zones

You can program automation items to turn on when one or more zones are "tripped" (i.e. a door is opened or closed, or a motion detector is triggered).
To do this:

• enable the Zone Follower option for the automation item (see section "Programming Automation Item Options")
• assign the automation item to one or more zones in section [291].

Program how long the automation item will remain on after the zone(s) is tripped and restored in section [290] Zone Follower Timer. There is only one timer and it applies to all the automation items.

Automation Schedule Programming

Programming Schedules
Program schedules for controlling automation items in sections [030] - [077]. There are 3 programming sections for each schedule:

• Schedule On Time
• Schedule Off Time
• Day of Week Mask.

On selected days of the week any automation items assigned to the schedule will be turned on at the Schedule On Time and turned off at the Schedule Off Time, which may be the next day.

Example:
You want to program automation item 1 (a premises light) to turn ON Wednesday at 9:00pm and turn OFF Thursday at 3:00am. Assign automation item 1 to schedule 1 and program schedule 1 as follows:
ON Time - 2100
OFF Time - 0300
Day of Week Mask - Wednesday ON (Sunday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday OFF).

See section Assigning Automation Items to Schedules for information on assigning automation items to schedules.
If the automation item's Automation Item Pulse Timer is programmed, the item will be active for the pulse time programmed, then it will turn off. The schedule Off Time will not need to be programmed as it will not affect the output. You will also need to program the automation item to follow the timer. See section "Programming Automation Item Options" for more information.

Schedule On Time	Section [030] to [075]
Schedule Off Time	Section [031] to [076]
Day of Week Mask	Section [032] to [077]
Automation Item Pulse Timer	Section [301] to [332]

Mode Programming

Mode assignment gives users control over groups of automation items. You can assign any automation item to one or more of 8 modes. Users can turn modes on or off using the [ ✱ ][5] menu, or if programmed, [ ✱ ][7][1-4] commands.

Automation Items and Modes

Section "Automation Item Programming" explains in detail the programming you need to do to assign automation items to follow modes.

Example: The users have a sprinkler system and would like it to follow a schedule on the days the sprinkler is needed.
To set up the system in this example, you would need to:

• Enable and program automation item 1 (the sprinklers).
• Program a schedule (e.g. schedule 1) to be active for the desired time period, every day of the week.
• Assign automation item 1 to schedule 1.
• Assign automation item 1, to a mode (e.g. mode 1).
• Turn section [131], option [05] OFF.
• Program a label for mode 1 that says {Sprinkler}.

When the users turn the {Sprinkler} mode on, the sprinklers will activate according to schedule 1. When the users don't want the sprinklers on, they can turn the {Sprinkler} mode off.

If you assign an item to more than one mode, the item follows its assigned schedules 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, ALL the modes assigned to the item must be turned OFF.

You can also program modes to be turned on or off by PGM outputs. See section "Programming Modes to Follow PGM Outputs" for more information.

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:
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 "Assigning Automation Items to Modes" 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 Escort to announce {Holiday Mode} for a mode or command output, you must program a label for the mode or command output.
