1.2.2 ESCORT5580 Module
Therearemanybenefitsto adding theESCORT5580module
to a security system. The ESCORT5580 module will turn any
touch tone phone in the world into a fully functional keypad.
Imagine the security a customer would feel if they had the
ability to arm, disarm and check status of their alarm system
while at the office or on vacation.

SYSTEMVINTRODUCTION
2
All touch tone phones in the home also become system
keypads. For example, atbedtime, the phone beside the bed
can be used to arm the system. The addition of the
ESCORT5580 may reduce the cost of the overall installation,
eliminating the need for additionalkeypads andthe labour of
running wires.
The ESCORT5580 will also act
as a tutor for the system. By
using clear, easy to understand
sentences, the voice module
helps guide the user through
functions they may otherwise
find difficult to navigate. Programmable zone labels (up to
6 words each from our library of over 240 words) makes the
system even easier to use.
The module also has a built-in power line control interface
and can control up to 32 power line control devices for
lighting and temperature control, giving you the power to
add home automation in a very cost effective manner.
Devices can be activated individually, as a group, by
schedule or can be activated when an event occurs on the
system, such as an alarm.
These are just a few of the applications available with the
addition of the ESCORT5580 module. For more information,
please refer to the ESCORT5580 Installation Manual.
1.2.3 PC5400 Printer Module
This module will give you the
added advantage for the
commercial customers who
like the idea of a permanent
record of openings and
closing but are put off by the
additional monthly
monitoring charge. In addition, as reports are generated in
real-time, the customer will not have to wait for a monthly
report form the monitoring station.
The PC5400 Printer Module will allow the panel to print out
all events that occur on the system to any serial printer. The
printoutwillcontainthetime,dateandtheeventthatoccurred
(see Section – 5.25 “On-site Printer”).
1.2.4 Downlook Video Transmission Module
TheDownlookStill-FrameVideoTransmissionModule(DLM-
1/DLM-4)istheidealsolutionforallbusinessandresidential
environments which require visual surveillance but where
the presence of on-site security personnel is impossible,
undesirable or unaffordable.
Downlook is the smart and inexpensive way to add visual
backup to your regular remote alarm signalling system,
meeting your demand for tighter security on a tight budget.
The added visual protection will reduce the incidence of
false alarms as well as surveillance costs, thus improving
the overall security protection.
For more information regarding the Downlook Video
Transmission Module, please consult the DLM-1/DLM-4
Installation Manuals.

Wire the KEYBUS to each of the modules following the
guidelines provided in Section 2.3 of this manual.
Step 4 Zone Wiring (Section 2.8)
You must power down the control panel to complete all
zone wiring. Please refer to Section 2.8 when connecting
zones using normally closed loops, single EOL resistors,
double EOL resistors, Fire zones and Keyswitch Arming
zones.
Step 5 Complete Wiring (Section 2.2)
Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens, phone
line connections, and ground connections following the
guidelines provided in Section 2.2 (“Terminal
Descriptions”).
Step 6 Power up the Control
Once all zone and KEYBUS wiring is complete, power up
the control panel.
The panel will not power up on the battery connec-
tion alone.
Step 7 Keypad Assignment (Section 2.5)
Inorderforkeypadstobeproperlysupervised,eachmust
beassignedtoadifferentslot.Pleasefollowtheguidelines
provided in Section 2.5 when assigning keypads.
Step 8 Supervision (Section 2.6)
The supervision of every module by the panel is
automatically enabled upon power up. Please verify that
all modules appear on the system according to the
instructions in Section 2.6.
Step 9 Programming the System (Sections 4 and 5)
Section 4 explains how to program the panel. Section 5
contains a complete description of the various
programmable features, which options are available and
how they function. The Programming Worksheets (pages
25-33) should be filled out completely before attempting
to program the system.
Step 10 Testing the System
The panel must be thoroughly tested to ensure that all
features and functions are operating as programmed.
2.2 Terminal Descriptions
AC Terminals – AC (50Hz)
The panel requires a 16.5 volt, 40 VA transformer. Connect
the transformer to an unswitched AC source and connect
the transformer to these terminals.
Do not connect the transformer until all other wiring
is complete.
The panel must have a power line frequency of
50Hz.
Battery Connection
A12V4Ahrechargable gel-cellbatteryisused as abackup
source of power in the event of an AC power failure. The
battery also provides additional current when the panel’s
demands exceed the power output of the transformer, such
as when the panel is in alarm.
Do not connect the battery until all other wiring is
complete.
ConnecttheREDbatteryleadtothepositivebatteryterminal;
connect the BLACK lead to negative.
Auxiliary Power Terminals – AUX+ and AUX-
These terminals provide up to 550 mA of additional current
at 12 VDC for devices requiring power. Connect the positive
sideofanydevicerequiringpowertotheAUX+terminal,the
negativesidetoAUX-(ground).TheAUXoutputisprotected.
This means that if too much current is drawn from these
terminals (such as a wiring short), the panel will temporarily
shut off the output until the problem is corrected.
Bell Output Terminals – BELL+ and BELL- (Section 3.4)
Theseterminals provideup to 700mA ofcontinuous current
at12VDCforpoweringbells,sirens,strobesorotherwarning-
type equipment. Connect the positive side of any alarm
warning device to BELL+, the negative side to BELL–.
Please note that the Bell output is protected: if too much
current is drawn from these terminals (such as a wiring
short), the Bell fuse will open. Three Amps can be drawn for
short periods only.
The Bell output is supervised. If no alarm warning devices
are in use, connect a 1000 ohm resistor across BELL+ and
BELL– to prevent the panel from displaying a trouble
condition. For more information, please refer to Section 3.4
(“[✱] [2] Trouble Display”).
The bell is programmed by default to terminate after four
minutes. The Bell Cutoff time can be adjusted in
programming section [02] (“System Times”).
KEYBUSTerminals– AUX+,AUX-,YEL,GRN(Section2.3)
The KEYBUS is used by the panel to communicate with
modules and vice versa. Each module has four KEYBUS
terminals that must be connected to the four KEYBUS
terminals on the panel. For more information, see Section
2.3 (“KEYBUS Operation and Wiring”).

G E T T I N G S T A R T E D

Programmable Outputs – PGM1 and PGM2
Each PGM output is designed so
thatwhenactivatedbythepanel,the
terminal will switch to ground.
PGM2cansinkupto50mAofcurrent
to activate LEDs or a small buzzer.
Connectthe positiveside ofthe LED
orbuzzertoAUX+,the negativeside
to PGM2. If more than 50 mA of
currentare required,a relaymust be
used. Please study PGM wiring in
the accompanying diagram.
PGM1 is a high current output which
operates similar to PGM2. PGM1 is
used for high current output (300mA).
Zone Input Terminals – Z1 to Z6
Each detection device must be connected to a zone on the
control panel. We suggest that one detection device be
connected to each zone; wiring multiple detection devices
to a single zone, however, is possible. For zone wiring
specifics, please see Section 2.8 (“Zone Wiring”).
Telephone Connection Terminals – TIP, RING, T-1, R-1
If a telephone line is
required for central
stationcommunicationor
downloading,connectan
RJ-31Xtelephonejackin
the following manner:
• TIP - Green Wire incoming line from
• RING - Red Wire telephone company
• R-1 - Grey Wire outgoing line to
• T-1 - Brown Wire house telephone(s)
Please ensure that all plugs and jacks meet the
correct dimension, tolerance and metallic plating
requirements.
For proper operation, no other telephone equipment
should be connected between the control panel and
the telephone company facilities.
Do not connect the alarm panel communicator to
telephone lines intended for use with a fax machine.
These lines may incorporate a voice filter which
disconnects the line if anything other than fax
signals are detected, resulting in incomplete
transmissions.
2.3 KEYBUS Operation and Wiring
The KEYBUS is used by the panel to communicate with all
connected modules and vice versa. The red (AUX+) and
black (AUX-) terminals are used to provide power, while the
yellow (YEL) and green (GRN) terminals are clock and data
respectively.
The four KEYBUS terminals of the panel must be
connected to the four KEYBUS terminals or wires of
all modules.
The following restrictions apply to KEYBUS wiring:
• KEYBUS should be run in minimum 22 gauge quad
(0.5mm); two pair twist is preferred.
• The modules should be home run to the panel but can
be connected in series or T-tapped .
• Any module can be connected anywhere along the
KEYBUS. You do not need to run a separate KEYBUS
wire for keypads, etc.
• No module can be more than 1,000'/330m (in wire
length) from the panel.
• Shielded wire should not be used unless wires are run
in an area that presents excessive RF noise or other
such interference.
Example of KEYBUS Wiring
NOTE:
Module (A) is correctly
wired within 1,000'/330m
of wire from the panel.
Module (B) is correctly
wired within 1,000'/330m
of wire from the panel.
Module (C) is NOT wired
correctly as it is further
than1,000'/330mfromthe
panel, in wire distance.
2.4 Current Ratings – Modules and

LCD5500Tkeypadscaneachbeassignedtoadifferentslot
(1to 8). Keypad enrollment isrequired since the panel must
know which slots are occupied in order to generate a fault
when a supervisory is not present.
How to Assign Keypads
Each keypad must be assigned one at a time. After
assigning all keypads, a supervisory reset should
be performed.
To assign a keypad to a slot, enter the following:
1. Enter Installer’s Programming.
2. Press [00] for Keypad Programming.
3. Press [0] for Slot Assignment.
4. Enter a two digit number (11-18) to specify which
supervisory slot the keypad will occupy.
Press the [#] key twice to exit programming. Continue this
procedureateachkeypaduntiltheyhaveallbeenassigned
to the correct slot.
When using more than one LCD keypad, be sure
that only one is assigned to slot number 8.
2.6 Supervision
By default, all modules are supervised upon installation.
Supervision is enabled at all times so that the panel can
indicate a trouble if a module is removed from the system.
A connected module which does not show as being present
will appear as a trouble condition and the Trouble light on the
keypadwill turn ON. This conditionmay bedue to one or more
of the following reasons:
• the module is not connected to the KEYBUS
• there is a KEYBUS wiring problem
• the module is more than 1,000'/330m from the panel
• the module does not have enough power
Formoreinformationregardingmodulesupervisiontroubles,
please refer to Section 3.4 (“[✱] [2] Trouble Conditions”).
Modules will not be automatically supervised if
connected while in installers mode.
2.7 Removing Modules
Thepanelmustbeinstructedtonolonger supervise a module
being removed from the system. To remove the module,
disconnect it from the KEYBUS and reset the supervision
field by entering [92] in the installer’s programming.The
panel will be reset to recognize and supervise all existing
modules on the system.
2.8 Zone Wiring
For a complete description of the operation of all zone types,
please refer to Section 5.2 (“Zone Definitions”).
There are several different ways in which zones may be
wired, depending on which programming options have
been selected. Please refer to the following diagrams to
study each type of individually supervised zone wiring.
Any zone defined as Fire will automatically require a
single End of Line (EOL) resistor regardless of which
type of zone wiring supervision is selected. (See Section
5.2 “Zone Definitions.”) Reconfiguring the zone supervi-
sion from a non-default setting—from DEOL to EOL or
from NC to DEOL—may disable zones 1-6 while open or
in trouble. To prevent this situation, the system should be
powered down completely and powered up again.

SECTION3
The PC1580 alarm panel can be accessed, controlled and
completely programmed via any keypad on the system. The
LED keypad uses function and zone indicator lights to repre-
sent alarm functions and status. The LCD keypad provides a
written description on the liquid crystal display and uses
function indicator lights to communicate alarm status to the
user.
The following sections describe how to arm and disarm the
system from each type of keypad, and how to perform other
keypad functions.
3.1 Arming and Disarming
The system cannot be armed unless the Ready light is ON.
Inorder forthe system to be inthe Readystate, allprotected
doors and windows must be secured and all movement in
areas covered by motion detectors must cease. When the
Ready light is ON, enter any valid access code. As each
digit is pressed, the keypad will beep. If the correct code is
enteredwhen the systemis not inthe Ready state,the panel
will sound six quick beeps followed by a long two-second
beep to indicate that the system is not secured.
Ifan incorrect code is entered,the keypadwill emit asteady
twosecondbeep to indicatetheinvalid access code.When
the correct code is entered and the system is Ready, the
panel will emit six short beeps and the Armed light will turn
ON. Exit the premises through the designated entry/exit
door. For other methods of arming, please refer to section
3.4 (“[✱] [0] Quick Exit” and “[✱] [9] Arming Without Entry
Delay”) and section 3.5 (“Function Keys”).
Inan attemptto preventfalse alarms,the Audible Exit Fault is
designed to notify the user of an improper exit when they arm
theirsystem.Ifanonforce-armingDelay1orDelay2typezone
isleftopenattheendoftheexitdelay,theentrydelaywillbegin
immediately and the bell or siren will sound a steady alarm for
the entry delay period. At the end of the entry delay period, if
the system has not been disarmed it will go into alarm.
When you enter the premises through a designated entry/
exit door while the system is armed, the keypad will emit a
steady beep to remind you to disarm the system. Enter a
valid access code from any keypad to disarm the system. If
anerrorismade,pressthe[#]keyand enter thecodeagain.
When a correct code is entered, the Armed light will turn
OFF and the keypad will stop beeping. During the last 10
seconds of entry delay, the panel will pulse the keypad
beeper ON and OFF rapidly to warn you that the entry delay
is about to expire.
Ifanalarmoccurredwhilethepanelwasarmed,theMemory
light and the zone indicator lights corresponding to the
zones which went into the alarm will be flashing. Press the
[#] key to return the keypad to the Ready state.
3.2 Auto Bypass – Stay Arming
Stay arming allows the user to arm the system without
leavingthe premises. Allinterior zonescanbe programmed
tobebypassedduringStayarmingsothattheuserdoesnot
have to bypass interior zones manually.
When the system is armed using a valid user code, if any
zones on the system have been programmed as Stay/Away
zones, the Bypass light will turn ON. The panel will then
monitor all zones programmed as Delay 1 and Delay 2
zones,such as designated entry/exit doors.If no delay type
zone is violated by the end of the exit delay, the panel will
bypass all Stay/Away type zones. The Bypass light will
remain ON to inform the user that the interior protection has
been automatically bypassed by the panel. If a delay zone
isviolated duringthe exitdelay, the Stay/Away zones will be
active after the exit delay expires.
TheusercanaddtheStay/Awayzonesbackintothesystem
at any time by entering the [✱][1] keypad command (see
section 3.4 “[✱] [1] Bypassing and Reactivating Stay/Away
Zones”).
Stay arming can also be initiated by pressing and holding
the Stay function key for two seconds on the PC5506T and
LCD5500T keypads, if programmed by the installer. For
moreinformationregardingStayarming,pleaseseesection
3.5 (“Function Keys”).
3.3 Automatic Arming
The system can be programmed to Auto-Arm at a specific
time every day if it is in the disarmed condition.
In order for the Auto-Arm function to work properly, the
correct Time of Day must be programmed. To program the
clock and Auto-Arm times, see Section 3.4 ([✱][6] User
Functions)
When the system’s internal clock matches the Auto-Arm
Time, the panel will check the system status. If armed, the
panel will do nothing until the next day at the Auto-Arm
Time, when it will check the system again. If disarmed, the
panel will sound the buzzer of all keypads for one minute. If
a valid User Code is entered, the Auto-Arming will be
aborted.
If no code is entered, the panel will Auto-Arm. If a zone is
violated,thepanelwilltransmita Partial Closing Reporting
Code–ifprogrammed– toindicatetothecentralstationthat
the system is not secure. If the zone is restored, the panel
will add the zone back into the system (see Section 5.7
“Communicator – Reporting Codes”).
3.4 [✱]Commands
The [✱]key commands provide an easy way for the user to
access basic system programming – such as entering user

How to Program
SECTION4
The following section of the manual describes the Installer’s
Programming function and how to program the various sections.
You must read the following section of the manual
very carefully before you begin programming. We
also recommend filling out the Programming
Worksheets before you program the panel.
For your reference, the corresponding programming sections for
the functions listed are highlighted in text boxes such as this one.
4.1 Installer’s Programming
Installer’s Programmingisusedtoprogramallcommunicator
andpaneloptions.TheInstaller’s Codeis[1575]bydefault
but may be changed to prevent unauthorized access to
programming.
Installer Code ......................................................... Section [03]
From an LED Keypad:
Step 1 Enter [✱] [8] [Installer’s Code].
• The Program light will flash to indicate you are
in programming mode.
• The Armed light will turn ON to indicate that the
panel is waiting for the two digit programming
section number.
Step 2 Enter the two digit Section number corresponding
to the section you wish to program.
• The Armed light will turn OFF.
• The Ready light will turn ON to indicate that the
panel is waiting for the information required to
complete programming the selected section.
Step 3 Enter the information required to complete
section programming (ie: numbers, HEX data, or
ON/OFF options).
If the two digit Section numbered entered is invalid,
or if the module which pertains to the section is not
present, the keypad will sound a two second error
tone.
From an LCD Keypad:
Step 1 From any keypad, enter [✱] [8] [Installer’s
Code]. The Keypad will display ‘Enter
Section’ followed by two dashes.
Step 2 Enter the two digit number corresponding to
the programming section number you wish to
program. The keypad will now display the
information required to complete
programming the selected section.
Step 3 Enter the information required to complete
section programming (ie: numbers, HEX
data, or ON/OFF options).
If you enter information into a section and make a mistake,
pressthe[#]keytoexitthesection.Selectthatsectionagain
and re-enter the information correctly.
4.2 Programming Decimal Data
A set number of programming boxes are allotted for each
section requiring decimal data (e.g.: codes, telephone
numbers). If a digit is entered for each program box, the
panel will automatically exit from the selected programming
section. The Ready light will turn OFF and the Armed light
will turn ON.
Youcanalsopressthe[#]keytoexitaprogrammingsection
without entering data for every box. This is handy if you only
need to change digits in the first few programming boxes.
All other digits in the programming section will remain
unchanged.
4.3 Programming HEX Data
Onoccasion,hexadecimal(HEX)digitsmay berequired.To
program a HEX digit press the [✱] key. The panel will enter
HEX programming and Ready light will begin to flash.
The following are the numbers which should be pressed to
enter the appropriate HEX digit:
1 = A 2 = B 3 = C 4 = D 5 = E 6= F
After the correct HEX digit is entered, the Ready light will
continue to flash. If another HEX digit is required, press the
corresponding number. If a decimal digit is required, press
the [✱]keyagain.TheReadylightwillturn ONandthe panel
will return to regular decimal programming.
Example:
To enter ‘C1’ for a closing by user 1, you would enter
[✱] [3] [✱] , [1]
[✱] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
[3] to enter C
[✱] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid);
[1] to enter digit 1
If Ready light is flashing, any number you enter will
be programmed as the HEX equivalent.
If you are using a pulse format, a decimal zero [0] does not
transmit. Programming a zero [0] tells the panel not to send
any pulses for that digit. Decimal zero [0] is a filler digit. To
make a zero [0] transmit, it must be programmed as a
Hexadecimal ‘A’.
Example:
For the three digit account number ‘403’, you would enter
[4], [✱] [1] [✱] [3], [0].
[4] to enter the digit 4;
[✱] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
[1] to enter A
[✱] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid);
[3] to enter the digit 3;
[0] to enter the digit 0 as a filler digit.
4.4 Programming Toggle Option Sections
Some Sections contain several toggle options. The panel
will use zone lights 1 through 6 to indicate if the different
options are enabled or disabled. Press the number
correspondingtotheoptiontoturnitONorOFF.Onceallthe
toggle options have been selected correctly, press the [#]
key to exit the section and save the changes. The Ready

light will turn OFF and the Armed light will turn ON.
Refer to Section 5 in this manual to determine what each
option represents and whether the light should be ON or
OFF for your application.
4.5 Viewing Programming
LED Keypads
Any programming section can be viewed from an LED
keypad.Whenaprogrammingsectionisentered,thekeypad
will immediately display the first digit of information
programmed in that section.
The keypad displays the information using a binary format,
where Zone Light 1 = 1 Zone Light 2 = 2

Program Descriptions
The following section explains the operation of all programmable
featuresandoptionsandprovidesasummaryofallcorresponding
programming locations.
5.1 Programming Security Codes
There are three codes which can be programmed by the
installer in the Installer’s Programming function: the Master
Code, a Second Master Code, and the Installer’s Code. All
otheraccess codes canbe programmedthroughthe [✱][5]
command (see Section 3.4).
The Master Code can also be programmed by the user as
access code (1). If the Master Code Not Changeable
option is enabled, the System Master Code can only be
changed by the Installer.
User codes can arm and disarm the system. By selecting
the No Code Required for Bypassing option, each user
code can also have the ability to bypass zones without
entering the Master Code.
If the Sixth Code is Duress Code option is enabled, the
sixth code can be programmed by the user as a Duress
Code which will send a Duress Reporting Code to the
central station when entered.
If the 6-Digit User Access Codes option is enabled, all the
accesscodesmaybeprogrammedwithsixdigitsinsteadof
four, with the exception of the Panel ID code and the
Downloading Access Code.
Installer’s Code ....................................................... Section [03]
Master Code............................................................ Section [04]
Second Master Code.............................................. Section [05]
Master Code Not Changeable ............. Section [09], option [1]
No Code Required for Bypassing........ Section [09], option [2]
Sixth Code is Duress Code.................. Section [09], option [3]
6-Digit User Access Codes .................. Section [81], option [4]
When enabling 6-digit access codes, if the master
code is anything other than default, the last two
digits will be [00].
5.2 Zone Definitions
These sections will allow you to select how each of the 6
zones will operate. Each zone requires a two digit entry. In
addition to zone definitions, six different attributes may be
programmed by zone (see Section 5.3 – “Zone Attributes”).
[00] Null Zone
The zone is vacant. Unused zones should be programmed
as Null zones.
[01] Delay 1
This zone type, normally used for entry/exit doors, can be
violatedduring theexit delaytime withoutcausing analarm.
Once the exit delay has expired, opening the zone will start
the entry delay timer. During the entry delay time, the
keypadbuzzerwillsoundsteadilytoadvisetheuserthatthe
system should be disarmed. If the panel is disarmed before
the entry time expires, no alarm will be generated.
[02] Delay 2
The Delay 2 entry delay time can be set independent of Delay
1 in programming section [02] (System Times).
SECTION5
[03] Instant Zone
This zone type will cause an instant alarm if it is violated
when the panel is armed. Typically, this zone is used for
windows, patio doors or other perimeter zones.
[04] Interior Zone
This zone will not cause an alarm if violated during the entry
delay. If the zone is violated before the entry delay has
begun, it will cause an instant alarm. Typically, this zone is
usedforinteriorprotectiondevices,suchasmotiondetectors.
[05] Interior Stay/Away Zone
This zone type works similar to the Interior zone type except
that it will be automatically bypassed under the following
conditions:
• When the panel is armed in the Stay Mode (see Section
3.5 – “Function Keys”).
• When the panel is armed without entry delay (see
Section 3.4 – “[✱] [9] Arming Without Entry Delay”).
• When the panel is armed with a user code and a Delay
type zone is NOT tripped during the exit delay.
The automatic bypass prevents the user from having to
manually bypass interior type zones when arming at home.
This zone is typically used for interior protection devices,

[07] Delayed 24 Hour Fire Zone
When this zone is violated, the alarm output will be
immediatelyactivatedbutthecommunicatorwillbedelayed
for 30 seconds. If the user presses any key on any keypad
during this delay, the alarm output and the communicator
will be delayed an additional 90 seconds, giving the user
time to correct the problem. If the zone is still violated after
the 90 second delay, the panel will sound the alarm ouput
and delay the communicator for 30 seconds.
If the user does not press a key during the 30 second delay,
the alarm output will latch and the panel will communicate
the alarm to the central station. The alarm will sound for the
Bell Cutoff time programmed in Section [02] (“System
Times”).
If a second Fire type zone is violated or if the Fire
keys are pressed during the delay period, the panel
will latch the alarm output and will immediately
communicate the alarm.
A violated Fire zone will be displayed on all keypads and
can be delayed at any keypad. Typically this zone is used
for latching smoke detectors.
[08] Standard 24 Hour Fire Zone
When this zone is violated, the panel will immediately latch
the alarm output and communicate to the central station.
The alarm will sound for the Bell Cutoff time programmed in
Section [02] (“System Times”).
A violated Fire zone will be displayed on all keypads.
Typically this zone is used for pull stations.

[11] 24 Hour Burglary Zone
If this zone is violated when the system is either armed or
disarmed, the panel will immediately latch the alarm output
and communicate to the central station. The alarm will
sound for the Bell Cutoff time programmed in Section [02]
(“System Times”) or until a valid user code is entered.
[12] - [20]
The following zone definitions operate similar to the 24 Hour
Burglary except for the System Event output type and the
SIA identifier:
[12] 24 Hour Heat Zone [17] 24 Hour Emergency Zone
[13] 24 Hour Gas Zone [18] 24 Hour Sprinkler Zone
[14] 24 Hour Holdup Zone [19] 24 Hour Water Flow Zone
[15] 24 Hour Medical Zone [20] 24 Hour Freezer Zone
[16] 24 Hour Panic Zone
[21] 24 Hour Latching Tamper
If this zone is violated, the installer must enter Installer’s
Programming before the system can be armed.
[22] Interior Delay Zone
When the system is fully armed (ie. away armed), this zone
will,as is standard,follow the exit delay. It will also followthe
entrance delay, provided that a delay zone is first tripped.
If the delay zone is not tripped first, a zone defined as
‘Interior Delay’ will go into alarm instantly. When the system
is [✱][9] no entry armed or stay armed this zone will be
active, but when it is tripped, it will initiate the entrance
delay.
[23] 24 Hour Bell/Buzzer Zone
Ifthis zone isviolated whilethesystem isarmed, the Bellwill
be activated. If this zone is violated while the system is
disarmed, the keypad buzzer will activate.
[24] Push to Set Zone
Upon momentary violation of this zone, the exit delay will be
terminated. If you use this zone type, Exit Delay Termination
should not be enabled.
5.3 Zone Attributes
All zones, with the exception of 24 Hour and Fire,
have an exit delay. When the system is armed, the
zones may be violated during the exit delay without
causing an alarm.
Attributes for Fire Zones should not be changed
from the default settings.
Additionalzoneattributescanbeprogrammedtocustomize
the operation of a zone for a specific application. The
following attributes are programmable for each zone:
• Audible / Silent – This attribute determines whether or
not the zone will activate the alarm output.
• Pulsed / Steady – This attribute determines whether the
alarm output will be steady or will pulse on and OFF
every second.
• Activate Chime – This attribute determines whether or
not the zone will activate the chime feature (see Section
3.4 – “[✱] [4] Door Chime On/Off”).
• Bypass Enable – This attribute determines whether or
not the zone can be manually bypassed (see Section
3.4 – “[✱] [1] Bypassing and Reactivating Stay/Away
Zones”).
• Force Arm Enable – This attribute determines whether
or not the system can be armed while a zone is
violated. At the end of the exit delay, if this type of zone
is violated, it will be ignored by the panel. Once the
zone is secured, it will be monitored by the system.
This zone attribute, for example, will allow the user to
arm the system with the garage door open. Later, when
the door is closed, it will be armed along with the rest
of the system.
• Downlook Activation Option (Video) – If enabled, this
attribute will activate the DLM-1/DLM-4 Downlook
module. When a given zone goes into alarm, it will
activate the DLM to take a picture of that zone.
Zones Attributes .............. Sections [21] - [26], Options [1] - [6]
5.4 Communicator – Dialing
If the Communicator Disable option is selected, the panel
will not attempt to call central station. If communication is
enabled, the panel will attempt to call central station when
an event with a valid Reporting Code occurs (See Section
5.7 “Communicator – Reporting Code”).
The Communicator Call Direction Options are used to
select which phone number the panel will dial when an
event occurs.
If the DTMF Dialing option is enabled, the panel will dial
using DTMF (touch tone). If the Switch to Pulse Dial option
is enabled, the panel will switch to pulse dialing on the fifth
attempt to call the central station. When this option is
disabled, the panel will always dial using DTMF. If DTMF
Dialing is disabled, the panel will always pulse dial.
When the Force Dialing option is enabled, if the panel fails
tocallthemonitoringstationonthefirst dialing attempt,itwill
dial out on every attempt thereafter with or without the
presence of dial tone.
The panel will attempt to send a signal to central station
eight times before indicating a Failure to Communicate
(FTC) trouble condition. The Third Phone Number can be
used as a back up for the first number in this situation (see
Section 5.6 – “Communicator – Phone Numbers”).
IftheBellonFTCwhenArmedoptionisenabled,anaudible
alarm will sound during a period of communication failure.
If the Answer Acknowledge Enabled (ID Tone) option is
selected, the panel will pulse a tone on the telephone line to
indicatethatthepanelisontheline.TheIDToneFrequency
can be set at either 2100Hz or at 1300Hz.
The European Dialing Parameter option will set the pulse
dialing Make/Break ratio to 67/33 from the North American
ratio or 60/40.
Contact your local telephone company to confirm
which dial setting should be used.

will only attempt to call the Third phone number after failing
to communicate with the first phone number.
In order for Alternate Dialing to work properly, the
Third Phone Number must be enabled.
Phone numbers can be up to 32 digits which will allow you
to add special digits if required. To program the phone
number, enter the numbers 0 through 9 as required. The
following is a list of programmable HEX digits and the
function they perform:
HEX (B) - simulates the [✱] key on a touch tone phone
HEX (E) - forces the panel to pause for 2 seconds
HEX (C) - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone phone
HEX (F) - marks the end of the phone number

5.7 Communicator – Reporting Codes
The panel can be programmed to report events to the
centralstationbysendingtheReportingCodeprogrammed
for a particular event.
Reporting codes can be one or two digits and can use HEX
digits (A through F). The following is a description of the
different Reporting Codes that can be programmed and
when the events will be reported to central station.
Reporting Codes......................................... Section [36] to [46]
5.7.1 Zone Alarm
The panel will transmit the Zone Alarm Reporting Code
whenazone goesintoalarm. 24hourtype zones willgo into
alarm whether the panel is armed or disarmed and report to
the central station. All other types of zones will only go into

the alarm output is active.
24 Hour type zones will report the restoral immedi-
ately once the zone is secured.
Zone Restoral Reporting Codes......... Section [37], Option [6]
Restoral on Bell Timeout ..................... Section [60], Option [6]
5.7.3 Closings (Arming Codes)
The panel will transmit a Closing Reporting Code to indicate
that the system is armed. A different Reporting Code can be
transmitted for each User Code and Master Code to identify
who has armed the system.
If programmed, a Partial Closing Reporting Code will be
sent along with the Closing Reporting Code if one or more
zonesweremanuallybypassedwhenthesystemwasarmed
to warn the monitoring station of a security compromise.
When you are programming the partial closing report-
ing code, all closing codes must also be programmed.
If the Closing Confirmation option is enabled, the keypad
will sound a series of eight beeps to confirm to the user that

5.7.5 Tampers
If the panel is programmed for Double EOL zones (see
Section 2.8 – “Zone Wiring”), the panel will report a Zone
Tamper Alarm Reporting Code if an open condition is
present. A different Reporting Code can be programmed to
identify each zone. The Zone Tamper Restoral Reporting
Code will be transmitted immediately when the tamper
condition is restored.
A General System Tamper Reporting Code will be
transmittedwhenthetamperzoneonanymoduleisviolated.
The GeneralSystemTamperRestoralReportingCode will
be transmitted when the tamper zone on the module is
restored. A zone tamper or zone fault will activate the bell
while armed or the buzzer while disarmed.

5.7.7 Maintenance
The panel will transmit a Battery Trouble Alarm Reporting
Code when the backup battery charge drops below 11.5
VDC. The Battery Trouble Restoral Reporting Code will not
be transmitted until the battery has been charged to over
12.5 VDC.
To prevent the panel from transmitting an AC Failure Trouble
Alarm Reporting Code during short power outages, the panel
will not send the signal unless AC power is lost for the amount
of minutes programmed for the AC Failure Communication
Delay. The AC Failure Trouble Restoral Reporting Code will
be transmitted as soon as AC power is restored.
A Bell Circuit Trouble Alarm Reporting Code will be

Transmissions”) or a System Test Reporting Code (see
Section 3.4 – “[✱] [6] User Functions”).
Test Transmission Reporting Codes...................... Section [46]
5.7.9 Miscellaneous
If the panel fails to transmit information to the central station,
it will display a Failure To Communicate (FTC) trouble
condition.ThepanelwilltransmitaPhoneNumber1Failure
to Communicate Reporting Code or a Phone Number 2
Failure to Communicate Reporting Code the next time it
calls the central station. The panel will transmit the old
events, followed by the FTC message, followed by the new
events. This will allow central station to determine which
events are old or new.
If the Event Buffer is uploaded or printed on-site on a regular
basis, an Event Buffer 75% Full Reporting Code can be
transmitted to warn that the buffer is almost full. This code is
good for use with the PC5400 Printer Module.
The General Zone Fault Alarm Reporting Code is sent
whenever a DEOL hardwired zone is shorted out. The
faulted zone will also be displayed in the Trouble section.
The General Zone Fault Restoral Reporting Code will be
sent when the problem zone is repaired.
The Delinquency Reporting Code is sent whenever the

Delinquency Transmission Delay........................... Section [62]
If the Delinquency Tx Delay is set for 1 day, there
must be 24 hours of no arming or disarming before
the Delinquency Code will be sent.
After a Delinquency Code has been transmitted, it
will not send again until the system has been armed
and disarmed.
5.8 Communicator – Reporting Formats
Each central station communication phone number can be
programmed to report using any one of the 5 formats
available. A 20 BPS pulse format is supported in addition to
4-8-1 Fast Slot, Contact ID, SIA and a Pager format.
Communicator Format Options.............................. Section [50]
Communicator Call Directions ................... Section [51] to [55]
The following is a description of each reporting format:
5.8.1 4-8-1 Fast Slot Scantronics and Sur-Gard 4-8-1
Communications Format
Slot Format
The slot format is a DTMF transmission consisting of a 4-
digit Account Code, eight 1-digit reporting channels, and
one 1-digit status channel.

8 indicates Trouble or Trouble Restoral
9 indicates a Test Transmission.
For example, if Zone 3 is programmed as 31, an alarm on Zone 3 would
be reported as:
aaaa551555557
If a transmission is not wanted for a particular reporting code, then enter
[00] or [FF] to disable that reporting code.
5.8.2 Pulse Formats
Depending on which pulse format is selected, the panel will
communicate using the following specifications:
• 3/1, 3/2, 4/1 or 4/2 • 1400 or 2300 Hz handshake
• 20 bits per second • non-extended
A 1600Hz Handshake can be programmed instead of the
standard 1400 or 2300Hz Handshakes.
1600Hz Handshake ............................. Section [82], Option [4]
Additional Notes on Pulse Formats
1.The digit ‘0’ will send no pulses and is used as a filler.
2.When programming account numbers, enter four digits.
When programming a three digit account number, the
fourth digit must be programmed as ‘0’.
• 3 digit account number [123] - program [1230]
3.If an account number has a ‘0’ in it, substitute a HEX
digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’. For example:
• 3 digit account number [502] - program [5A20]
• 4 digit account number [4079] - program [4A79]
4.Reporting codes are two digits. When programming
single-digit Reporting Codes, the second digit must be
programmed as a ‘0’. If a ‘0’ is to be transmitted,
substitute HEX digit ‘A’. For example:
• 1 digit Reporting Code [3] - program [30]
• 2 digit Reporting Code [30] - program [3A]
5.To prevent the panel from reporting an event, the
Reporting Code should be programmed as [00] or [FF].
5.8.3 Contact ID
Contact ID is a specialized format that will communicate
information using tones rather than pulses. This format
allows more information to be sent faster than other formats.
For example, in addition to reporting an alarm in zone 1, the
Contact ID format will also report the type of alarm, such as
an Entry/Exit alarm.
To program Contact ID, a two digit number from Appendix
Amustbe entered inorder for everyeventto be transmitted.
The two digit number determines the type of alarm. The
panel will automatically generate all other information,
including the zone number.
Additional Notes on Contact ID
1. Account numbers must be four digits.
2. All Reporting Codes must be two digits.
3. Substitute the HEX digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’.
4.To prevent the panel from reporting an event, the
Reporting Code should be programmed as [00] or [FF].
Please refer to Appendix A for a list of Contact ID
Identifiers.
5.8.4 SIA
SIA is a specialized format that will communicate information
quickly using Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) rather than
pulses. The SIA format will automatically generate the type of
signal being transmitted, such as Burglary, Fire, Panic etc.
The two digit Reporting Code is used to identify the zone or
user code number.
If the SIA format is selected, the panel can be
programmed to automatically generate all zone and
user code numbers, thus eliminating the need to
program these items.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is
enabled, the panel will operate as follows:
1.If an event’s Reporting Code is programmed as [00], the
panel will not attempt to call the central station.

19
P R O G R A M D E S C R I P T I O N S
2.If the Reporting Code for an event is programmed as
anything from [01] to [FF], the panel will automatically
generate the zone or user code number.
The Communicator Call Direction options can be used to
disable the reporting of events such as Openings and
Closings.Ifall of theOpeningand Closing ReportingCodes
are programmed as [00], the panel will not report.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is
disabled, the panel will operate as follows:
1.If an event’s Reporting Code is programmed as [00] or
[FF], the panel will not attempt to call central station.
2.If the Reporting Code for an event is programmed as
anything from [01] to [FE], the panel will send the
programmed Reporting Code.
Please refer to Appendix B for a list of SIA identifiers.
SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes . Section [61], Option [6]
5.8.5 Pager Format
TheCommunicatorFormatoptionforeitherphonenumber
canbeprogrammedasthePagerFormat.Ifaneventoccurs
and the Communicator Call Direction options direct the
call to a phone number with the Pager Format selected, the
panel will attempt to page.
When calling a pager, extra digits will be required in order
for the format to function properly. The following is a list of
Hex digits and the functions they perform:
Hex [B] - simulates the [✱] key on a touch tone phone
Hex [E] - two second pause
Hex [C] - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone phone
Hex [F] - marks the end of the phone number
Hex [D] - forces the panel to search for dial tone
The panel will attempt to call the pager once. Once the
appropriate phone number is dialed, the panel will send the
account number and Reporting Code followed by the [#]
key (Hex [C]).
The panel has no way of confirming if the pager was called
successfully; a Failure To Communicate trouble will thus
never be generated.
It is recommended not to use the digit C in a
reporting code when using Pager Format. In most
cases, the digit C will be interpreted as a [#], which
will terminate the page before it has finished.
Pager Format will not force dial, but will check for
busy tone regardless of the busy tone detect option.
5.9 Downloading
Downloading allows you to program the entire control panel
viaa computer, a modem anda telephone line. All functions
andfeaturesandtheirchangesandstatus– suchastrouble

The PGM output will switch to ground when any of the
system events (alarms) occur on the system. In the armed
state, the output will deactivate only when the system is
disarmed. If an alarm activates this output in the disarmed
state, the output will deactivate if the bell is silenced during
a bell time-out, or if the system is armed after the bell time-
out. This PGM output can be used to indicate that an alarm
has occured before entering the premises.
