The Escort5580(TC) module is a telephone interface module that turns any tone phone, local or remote, into a fully functional keypad. The

Escort5580(TC) uses full sentence prompts to simplify operation. The module also includes an X-10 interface jack and can be used to support up

to 32 X-10 devices with the addition of a PSC04 X-10 interface module.

The ‘TC’ designator in the part number indicates the unit also includes thermostat control. Up to 4 thermostats can be controlled.

The module contains an extensive 240+ word library. Up to 6 words can be programmed for all labels (zones, partitions, X-10 automation items)

to simplify operation for the end user. Programming the Escort module is done using any local tone telephone or downloading.

Power 832 Application Notes – ESCORT Module Labels

Operation: The ESCORT module has programmable labels for zones, Partitions, keypad functions

etc… Up to 6 words from the library can be programmed for each, including the ability

to say any number between 0 and 999 three different ways.

Applications:

1. Programmed labels make the system easier to use. Rather than reading an abbreviated LCD label or

referring to a handwritten door label, the ESCORT will clearly announce the zone label.

example – ‘upstairs master bedroom window contact’

Program Sections: ESCORT Section [451] to [482] – Automation Item Labels

ESCORT Section [521] to [528] – Automation Mode Labels

ESCORT Section [545] to [546] – Miscellaneous System Labels

ESCORT Section [561] to [562] – System Partition Labels

ESCORT Section [601] to [633] – System Zone Labels

Label Library - Words

The word library is located in Appendix A of the ESCORT Installation manual and contains approximately

240 words. A three-digit number is assigned to each word. From the list, write down the three-digit

numbers for each word required for each label.

For example – ‘Living Room Motion Detector’ [127] = Living

[183] = Room

[145] = Motion

[054] = Detector

Label Library – Numbers

The ESCORT has the ability to say any number from 0 to 999 three different ways, Combined, Ordered

and Individual. Two of the six programmable words for a label are required to say a number, the first word

is how you want the number stated, the second is the actual number itself.

The following is an example of how the ESCORT can say the number (401).

Combined =‘Four Hundred and One’

Ordered =‘Four Hundred and First’

Individual =‘Four Zero One’

example – ‘Second Floor Bedroom Smoke Detector’ [001] = Ordered

[002] = the number 2 (announced as ‘Second’)

[079] = Floor

[023] = Bedroom

[197] = Smoke

[054] = Detector

Procedure:

To enter ESCORT programming, perform the following on any local touch tone phone:

-Enter [*] [*] [*] on any local touch tone phone to turn the ESCORT on

-Enter [*] [8] [ESCORT Service Code] – default is [5580]

For information regarding how the ESCORT is programmed, please refer to the ESCORT 5580 Installation

Manual.

Step 1 – First System Options – ESCORT Section [002]

•Turn Option [03] ON to enable Home Automation.

•An access can be required to enter the [*] [5] Automation for additional security. If Option [04] is ON,

an access code is required. If Option [04] is OFF, an access code is not required.

Step 2 – Number of Automation Transmissions – ESCORT Section [007]

The number of Automation transmissions can be changed to increase reliability. Since the Automation

transmissions are non-confirmed and occur over the existing AC wiring of the premises, having the

ESCORT transmit multiple On/Off commands can increase reliability.

•Program the number of on/off transmissions to be sent for each command.

•Note, each transmission takes approximately one second. The larger the number, the slower the

Automation system will appear to operate.

Step 3 – Item #01 House Code & Unit Number – ESCORT Section [130]

Each light module has dials for selecting a unique address for each. A unique address is required for each

light module so that the user can control them individually. One dial is used to select from letter [A] to [P],

the other dial is used to select a number from [1] to [16].

•Referring to Appendix B, program the three digit code equivalent to the letter and number

corresponding to the letter and number selected for the first X-10 light module (i.e. [A1] = [000]).

Step 4 – Item #01 Miscellaneous Options – ESCORT Section [131]

•Turn Option [01] ON to enable the X-10 module.

•Turn Option [02] ON to enable end user manual control.

Option [03] allows you to select if the X-10 module will be included in global commands. For example,

several light modules may present to control downstairs lighting. At bedtime, rather than having to turn off

each light module individually, the user could initiate a ‘global off’ command. All the light modules

included in the global command option would be turned off.

•Turn Option [03] ON to include the X-10 module in the global command group. Turn Option [03]

OFF to exclude the X-10 module from the global command group.

•Turn Option [04] ON to enable dimming.

•Turn Option [05] ON so that the light module will always turn on or off when scheduled to do so.

•Turn Option [06] ON so that the light will remain on until told to turn off.

The Escort can be programmed to announce different words when an X-10 module is activated/deactivated.

Depending on the application, turn Option [07], [08] or [09] ON. Only turn ON one of these options. In

the case of lighting, it is logical for the Escort to announce ‘on’ and ‘off’.

•Turn Option [07] ON so that the ESCORT will announce the light is on and off when activated.

•Turn Option [08] OFF.

•Turn Option [09] OFF.

Step 5 – Item #01 Schedule Assignment – ESCORT Section [132]

Each X-10 module can be programmed to follow any or all of the 16 available schedules. In our

application, only one schedule is required.

•Turn Option [01] to enable Schedule #01.
