VPM4580

Thank you for purchasing the DSC VPM4580 module. When connected to the main control panel, the module turns any

touchtone telephone – local or remote – into a fully functional keypad. Once activated, the VPM4580 will act as a guide

for the user. The VPM4580 will prompt the user through clear, easy to understand sentences, telling them what the next

key entry should be to perform the various functions available.

In addition to an expanded library of over 250 system words, a powerful “say number” command has been added to

the VPM4580. This new feature allows any number between zero and 999 to be said in three different ways. Up to six

words can be used for Zone Labels, Automation Items, Automation Modes and System Labels, thereby enhancing the

VPM4580’s versatility.

The module also has a built-in line carrier interface. This feature allows the module to control up to 32 line carrier

Automation type items for lighting control, other home Automation features. Automation items can be turned on by

the user, or by the VPM4580 with schedules, panel events and/or modes. A full range of dimming levels are also

available for lighting control.

We are confident that you and your customer will discover that the VPM4580 module is the most useful alarm control

panel enhancement product available on the market today.

We welcome your input. Please send your comments to:

[132] Automation Item 1:

Schedule Assignment

There are 16 Automation Schedules in the VPM4580

which determine the ON time, OFF time and Day

Mask. Each schedule can only control an automation

item in a single 24 hour period (ie. from midnight to

midnight of one day). See section 6, "Automation

Schedules" for information on programming the

schedules. To program an item to follow a particular

schedule, turn ON the option corresponding to the

number of the schedule (eg. turning ON only option

01, programs the automation item to follow only

schedule number 1).

NOTE: If you need to program an automation item

to be active past midnight, either:

• use multiple schedules to control the item, or

• program the automation item for (01) Follows

Programmable Output Only in section [134] and

use a Date Schedule in the PC4010/PC4020 to

control the automation item. Refer to your

PC4010/PC4020 Installation Manual for more

information.

[133] Automation Item 1:

Mode Assignment

Mode assignment gives users additional control over

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 one of the modes an item is assigned to

is ON, and the Follows Schedule/Output only if a

Mode is ON option (section [133]:[05]) is enabled, the

automation item will only 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.

Example 1: Vacation mode. If the users will be away

for a period of time, they can use [*] [5] to turn on the

Vacation mode. You can assign automation items such

as lights and drapery to the Vacation mode. Program

the schedules and programmable outputs in such a

way that the premises will appear occupied. When the

Vacation mode is on, the lights and drapery will

activate according to the programmed schedules and

programmable output options.

Example 22

2: Sprinkler mode. Automation item 1 is

assigned to the sprinkler system. Item 1 is programmed

to follow schedule 1, which activates from 1:00 am to

3:00 am every day of the week. Automation item 1 is

also assigned to the Sprinkler mode. If Sprinkler mode

is on, the sprinklers will turn on from 1:00am to 3:00am

every day.

On rainy days the user can turn off Sprinkler mode to

prevent the sprinklers from coming on. When the

weather clears the user can turn on Sprinkler mode

again to have the sprinklers turn on following the

schedule.

NOTE: 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.

[134] Automation Item 1:

Schedule / Output Condition

Enter a 2-digit number to determine how the

automation item will operate.

(00) Manual User Control Only: Users can control the

item only through the [*][5] command (if section [131],

option [02] is ON). The item will not follow schedules

or output assignments.

(01) Follows Programmable Output Only: The item

will follow the state of its assigned programmable

output option. See Assigning Items to Programmable

Outputs below.

Example: Item 1 controls a light. If item 1 is assigned

to programmable output option (07) Inverted Arm

Status, the light will be on when the system is

disarmed, and off when the system is armed.

(02) Follows Schedule Only: The item will follow the

state of its assigned schedules. See Schedule Assignment

on previous page.

Example: Item 1 controls a light. If item 1 is assigned

to schedule 3, which activates at 19:00 and de-activates

at 22:00 every day, the light will turn on at 7:00pm

and off at 10:00pm every day.

(03) Follows Schedule or Programmable Output: The

item activates when its assigned schedules and

assigned mode are active. The item will also activate

when its assigned programmable output is active. If

the schedules and the output are active at the same

time, the item will also be active. See Schedule

Assignment and Assigning Items to Programmable

Outputs.

ExampleExample

Example: Item 1 controls a light. Item 1 is assigned to

schedule 3, which activates at 19:00 and de-activates

at 22:00 every day, and to the programmable output

option (07) Inverted Arm Status. Any time the system

is disarmed, the light will be on. The light will also be

on between 7:00pm and 10:00pm every day. If the

system is armed between 7:00pm and 10:00pm, the light

will turn on.

(04) Follows Schedule and

Programmable Output:

The item activates only when its assigned schedules

are active at the same time as the assigned

programmable output is active. See Schedule

Assignment and Assigning Items to Programmable

Outputs.

ExampleExample

Example: Item 1 controls a light. Item 1 is assigned to

schedule 3, which activates at 19:00 and de-activates

at 22:00 every day, and to the programmable output

option (07) Inverted Arm Status. If the system is

disarmed between 7:00pm and 10:00pm, the light will

be on during that time. If the system is armed between

7:00pm and 10:00pm, the light will not turn on.
