Application 2: Courtesy Lighting
The following programming will enable a lamp to come on automatically during exit/entry
periods (also known as a ‘Courtesy Light’). Select an interior light that illuminates the entry/
exit area enough to let the customer see where he is going, and that shows that no one is
lurking in the area. If you want to use a switched ceiling light, you must install an optional
X-10 Wall Switch Module.
NOTE: Automation Items can be programmed to activate when an event occurs on the
Alarm Control Panel. The event can be any of the PGM Output Options for the Power832
Control.
General
Programming
In this case, using any system keypad or DLS downloading software, we will program the
Power832’s PGM 03 to signal a Courtesy Pulse to the Escort5580.
In the Power832, Section [010] program decimal data: [08] in the first position. Then, in
Section [143], toggle Options 1 and 3 ON(Y), and all others OFF(N).
The Courtesy Light control module should only come on at night, so you must set a Sched-
ule for it to follow. You set the “on” time, “off” time, and the day of the week for a schedule
in three sections. The Escort enables you to create 16 different schedules, but you need
only one for the Courtesy Light application. The following will create ‘Schedule 1’ (ON at
8:00PM, OFF at 8:00AM, every day of the week.
Using a touch-tone telephone, perform the following programming in the Escort5580.
• Program Section [030] with decimal data:2000
• Program Section [031] with decimal data:0800
• Program Section [032] with ALL options:ON
NOTE:To set up a module on the Escort, you change the settings in six sections: 130-134
and 401 for the first module, 135-139 and 402 for the 2
nd
module and so on. You can set up
and control as many as 32 modules or ‘Items’. No entry was required in Application #1,
since that application dealt with a manual command, rather than an automated one.
