WARNING Please Read Carefully
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There
are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of emer-
gencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type
may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a
variety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may be:
nn
nn
n Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate pro-
tection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional to
ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on win-
dows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors,
walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and
construction to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must
be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire
and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available.
nn
nn
n Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the
time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop
techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that
a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain
effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide
the protection expected.
nn
nn
n Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a
sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient
coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the
proper operation of the system.
nn
nn
n Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security
devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device
operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batter-
ies have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed cor-
rectly. If a device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief,
will render that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power inter-
ruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which
may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a power
interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to en-
sure that the system operates as intended.
nn
nn
n Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years
of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a function
of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high
humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may re-
duce the expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low bat-
tery monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor
may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the
system in good operating condition.
nn
nn
n Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless)
Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could
include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jam-
ming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
nn
nn
n System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to
permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in
time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important that all system
users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they
know how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.
nn
nn
n Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of
a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may
have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the
smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the
other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires
on another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of
burning.Smokedetectorscannotsensealltypesoffiresequallywell.Smoke
detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness
or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping
gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical cir-
cuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances
when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to
avoid injury or death.
nn
nn
n Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as
shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discrimi-
nate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not
provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detec-
tion and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by
these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceil-
ings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any
type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking,
painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or
any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in tempera-
ture. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient tem-
perature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or
unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these
heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces,
sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
nn
nn
n Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn
people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or
door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence
or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or
awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other
noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or
other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however
loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.
nn
nn
n Telephone Lines
Iftelephonelinesareused totransmitalarms, theymaybe outofservice orbusy
forcertain periods oftime.Also anintrudermay cut thetelephoneline ordefeat
its operation by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.
nn
nn
n Insufficient Time
Theremaybe circumstances when the systemwilloperate as intended, yet the
occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to
respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the
response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.
nn
nn
n Component Failure
Althoughevery efforthas beenmadeto makethissystem asreliableas possible,
the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.
nn
nn
n Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as in-
tended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete
system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an at-
tempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind
of construction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should
include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices
and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
nn
nn
n Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for
property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for
property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent
or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.

2.4 Enrolling the Escort5580TC
Module
The Escort5580TC will function properly as soon as
allwiringiscompleteandpowerisapplied.However,
to fully supervise the Escort5580TC from PC5010
v1.x control panels, you needto followthese steps:
Procedure on the PC50XX v1.x
1. Wire the Escort5580TC 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.

2.6 Connecting the EMS
Thermostat and Additional
Sensors
When connected to the Escort5580TC, an EMS
Thermostat allows users to detect and control the
indoor temperature of the premises locally or
remotely from any touchtone telephone. The
Escort5580TC can announce either temperature
(exterior temperature only if an EMS-OTS module
isattached and enabled).The LCD5500Zcan also
display the temperature(s) and allows the user to
access temperature controls.
Figure 3 illustrates how the EMS thermostat
connects to the Escort5580TC. Refer to the
EMS
Thermostat Installation Sheet
for more details.
Figure 3: Connecting the Escort5580TC to an EMS
thermostat.
Connecting Indoor Sensors (EMS-ITS)
The thermostat has its own temperature sensor
built in. You can install additional indoor sensors
for more accurate temperature control. Use
EMS-ITS sensors to measure temperature at a
remote location from the thermostat (where the
thermostat’s own sensor is disabled), or for
temperature averaging in large rooms or between
different rooms.
Connecting an indoor temperature
sensor (EMS-ITS) disables the thermo-
stat temperature sensor.
Upto6EMS-ITSsensorsmaybeinstalled.Connect
thesensors to the thermostat as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4: Connecting thermostat to additional
sensors.
The maximum distance sensors may be installed
from the thermostat is 90 m (300’). Refer to the
EMS-ITS Installation Sheet
for more details.
Connecting the EMS-OTS (Outdoor Sensor)
The EMS-OTS senses outdoor air temperature via
an exterior wired probe. This temperature can be
displayed on the thermostat but does not affect
thermostat function.
Only one EMS-OTS module may be installed per
thermostat.ConnecttheEMS-OTStothethermostat
inseriesthesamewayas an EMS-ITS module(see
Figure 4). Insert the EMS-OTS at any point in a
chain with other sensors. Refer to the

Adding Numbers to Labels
Threespecial Number Commands are available to
allow the system to include a number in the voice
label. The number commands allow the system to
announce the number in three different modes:
Label 000: Number Command 1, Combined
Form. The number will be announced in its full
form. For example, the number 401 would be
announced as
“four hundred and one”
.
Label 001: Number Command 2, Ordered Form.
The number will be announced in a descriptive
form. For example, the number 401 would be
announced as
“four hundred and first”
.
Label 002: Number Command 3, Individual
Numbers. Each digit in the number will be
announced individually. For example, the number
401 would be announced as
“four zero one”
.
The number commands take up two of the six
available word spaces in a label. In the first space
select the type of announcement for the number
(NumberCommand000,001or002).Inthesecond
spaceprogramthe3-digitnumbertoberead(from
000 to 999).
Because number commands take up 2
label spaces, you cannot program them
in the sixth entry spot for a label.

Using the Escort5580TC, users can control up to
32items such aslights, outlets andwindow blinds.
The Escort5580TC controls automation items
(lights, outlets, blinds, etc.) through a PL-513 or
PSC04 Controller module (see section 2.5 for
connection information).
Readsections6to8carefullybeforeprogramming
automation items. Please see section 9,
“TemperatureControlProgramming”forinformation
on how to program the Escort5580TC for
temperature control.
6.1 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 6.2,
“Programming Automation Item Operation”.
Users will be able to control automation items
through the [✱][5] menu. For additional security,
enablethe[
✱

after the user enters [✱][5]. If No Access Code
Required for [✱][5] is enabled, the Escort5580TC
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.

Output in programming sections [545] - [548]
(Output Control labels). See section 3.4,
“Programming Label Entry Sections”.
On PC5010 v1.0 control panels, valid
entries are (03-14) only. On PC1575/
