Arming and Disarming the System
Stay Arm (Arming the Perimeter)
Ask your alarm company if this function is available on your system.
Stay arming bypasses the interior protection (i.e., motion sensors) and arms the perimeter of the system
(i.e., doors and windows). Close all sensors (i.e., stop motion and close doors). The Ready ( ) indica-
tor should be on. Press the Stay Arm button and/or enter your Access Code and do not leave the prem-
ises (if your installer has programmed this button). During exit delay, the Armed ( ) and Ready ( )
indicators turn on to visually indicate that the system is arming.
When the exit delay expires, the Ready LED turns off , the Armed LED remains on and the keypad
stops sounding to indicate that the alarm system is armed.
NOTE: For SIA FAR listed panels, the Stay Arming exit delay will be twice as long as the Away
Arming exit delay.
Silent Exit Delay
If the system is armed using the Stay Arm button or using the "No Entry" Arming method
([][9][access code]), the audible progress annunciation (keypad buzzer) is silenced and the exit time
doubled for that exit period only (CP-01 versions only).
NOTE: For non CP-01 versions, Standard exit time is used.
When Stay Arm is selected from the Home screen:
• The display indicates “Exit Delay in Progress,” and the pre-programmed exit delay begins.
• The Armed LED Indicator turns on.

4
NOTE: If Quick Arm is not enabled by the installer, then a numerical keypad is displayed (see
Figure 4). Enter a valid access code to proceed.
Figure 4 - Keypad
If Disarm is selected during the exit delay, a numeric keypad is displayed.
• Enter (tap) your access code.
• The arming sequence is aborted and the system returns to the Home screen.
• The Armed LED turns OFF.
At the end of the pre-programmed exit delay:
• The Disarm screen is displayed.
• The Ready Indicator turns OFF.
• “Stay Armed-Bypass” is displayed in the Status Bar.
NOTE: This screen will go into stand-by mode after 15 minutes. Tap the screen to restore the dis-
play.

Disarm
If Disarm is selected:
• A numerical keypad is displayed.
• Enter your Access Code in the keypad.
• The system returns to the Home screen and the red Armed indicator turns OFF.
• The alarm status is momentarily displayed in the status bar, then "Ready" is displayed.
• The green Ready indicator turns ON.
Disarming Error
If your code is invalid, the system will not disarm and a 2-second error tone will sound. If this happens,
press # and try again.
Away Arm
When Away Arm is selected:
• Enter a valid access code to proceed.
• The Armed LED Indicator turns ON.
• "Exit Delay in Progress" is displayed in the Status Bar. The pre-programmed exit delay begins.
• The touchscreen "beeps" at a 1-second urgency interval during the exit delay. Then 3 beeps sound in
the last 10 seconds.
NOTE: If Quick Arm is not enabled by the installer, a numerical keypad is displayed.
If Disarm is selected during the exit delay:
• A numeric keypad is displayed. Tap your access code.
• The Arming sequence is aborted and the system returns to the Home screen.
• The Armed LED turns OFF.
At the end of the pre-programmed exit delay:
• The Disarm screen is displayed.
• The Ready Indicator turns OFF.
• "Away Armed" is displayed in the Status Bar.
Bell/Siren Sounds After Away Arming
Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper exit
when arming the system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exit the premises during the
allotted exit delay period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/Entry door, the system will notify you
that it was improperly armed in two ways: the keypad will emit one continuous beep and the bell or
siren will sound.
Your installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system. If this occurs:
1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your access code to disarm the system. You must do this before the entry delay timer
expires.
3. Follow the Away arming procedure again, making sure to close the entry/exit door properly.
Arming Error
An error tone will sound if the system is unable to arm. This will happen if the system is not ready to
arm (i.e., sensors are open), or if an incorrect user code has been entered. If this happens, ensure all sen-
sors are secure. Press [#] and try again, ensuring that a valid access code is entered. Please check with
your installer to determine if arming is inhibited by any other means.
Remote Arming and Disarming
The system can be armed and/or disarmed using the remote wireless key. When arming the system by
using the Arm button on the wireless key, the system will acknowledge the command by sounding a sin-
gle bell squawk (if bell squawk is enabled). When disarming using the Disarm button on the wireless
key, the system will acknowledge the command by sounding two bell squawks (if bell squawk is
enabled) that can be heard from the exterior of the premises.
When Alarm Sounds
The system can generate 4 different alarm sounds:
• Temporal/ pulsed siren = Fire Alarm
• 4 beeps, 5-second pause, 4 beeps = Carbon Monoxide Alarm
• Continuous siren = Intrusion (Burglary Alarm)
NOTE: The priority of signals is fire alarm, carbon monoxide alarm then burglary alarm.

6
Intrusion (Burglary) Alarm Continuous Siren
If you are unsure of the source of the alarm, approach with caution! If the alarm was acciden-
tal, enter your Access Code to silence the alarm. Call your central station to avoid a dispatch.
Fire Alarm Pulsed Siren
Follow your emergency evacuation plan immediately!
If the fire alarm was accidental (e.g., burned toast, bathroom steam, etc.), enter your Access Code to
silence the alarm. Call your central station to avoid a dispatch. Ask your alarm company if your system
has been equipped with fire detection. To reset the detectors, see the Sensor Reset section.
Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Activation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO), which can be fatal. Dur-
ing an alarm, the red LED on the CO detector flashes rapidly and the buzzer sounds with a repeating
cadence of: 4 quick beeps, 5-second pause, 4 quick beeps. Also, during an alarm, the siren connected to
the control panel produces a repeating cadence of 4 quick beeps, 5-second pause, 4 quick beeps. The
keypad will also provide audible and visual indication of the CO alarm.
If an alarm sounds:
1. Operate silence button.
2. Call emergency services or your fire department.
3. Immediately move outdoors or to an open door/window.
WARNING: Carefully review your Carbon Monoxide Installation/User Guide to determine the
necessary actions required to ensure your safety and ensure that the equipment is operating cor-
rectly. Incorporate the steps outlined in the guide into your evacuation plan.

Bypassed Zones
Use the zone bypass feature when a zone is open but the system needs to be armed. Bypassed zones will
not cause an alarm when opened. Bypassing zones reduces the level of security. If you are bypassing a
zone because it is not functioning, call a service technician immediately so that the problem can be
resolved and your system returned to proper working order.
Ensure that no zones are unintentionally bypassed when arming your system. Zone bypassing can only
be performed while the system is disarmed. Bypassed zones are automatically cancelled each time the
system is disarmed and must be bypassed again, if required, before the next arming.
NOTE: 24-hour zones can only be unbypassed manually.
NOTE: For security reasons, your installer has programmed the system to prevent certain zones
from being bypassed. (e.g., smoke detectors).
Bypassing Zones with a PTK5507
When in the Zone Status page, scroll up/down through the desired zones, and tap on the bypass icon to
bypass the zone. To unbypass a zone, tap the unbypass icon.

When Access Codes is selected from the Options menu, the keypad prompts for a Master Code. When a
valid Master Code is entered, a numeric keypad is displayed with arrows to scroll to the desired user to
add/edit. Press the select button to enter the user options.
Set Access Code – adds/edits the 4-digit code.
Set Partitions – assigns the user to partitions.
User Options – enables/disables different options for the user.
Delete User – deletes the user from the system.
The access codes have programmable attributes which allow zone bypassing, remote access using the
ESCORT5580TC or one-time use activation.
Master Code (Access Code 40) - The master code, if programmed, can only be changed by the
installer.
Supervisor Codes - These codes can be used to program additional codes which have equal or lesser
attributes. Once programmed, the supervisor codes receive the master code’s attributes. These attributes
are changeable. Any user code can be made a supervisor code by enabling User Code Attribute 1
(please see below for details).
Duress Codes - Duress codes are standard user codes that transmit the Duress Reporting Code when
entered to perform any function on the system. Any user code can be made a duress code by enabling
User Code Attribute 2 (please see below for details).
NOTE: Duress codes are not valid when entering User Programming, Master Functions or
Installer’s sections.
NOTE: Access codes cannot be programmed as a duplicate or as a “Code +/- 1”.
User Code Attributes
1. The default attributes of a new code will be the attributes of the code used to enter User Pro-
gramming whether it is a new code or an existing code being programmed.
2. System Master Code 40 has partition access for all partitions, as well as attributes 3-4 ON by
default.
NOTE: These attributes are not changeable.
Inherent Attributes (all codes except installer and maintenance)
Arm/Disarm - Any access code with partition access enabled will be valid for arming and disarming
that partition.
Command Outputs ([*][7][1], [*][7][2], [*][7][3], and [*][7][4]) - If these outputs require access
code entry, any Access Code with partition access will be valid for performing the command output
functions on that partition.
Programmable Attributes
1. Supervisor Code 5. For Future Use
2. Duress Code 6. For Future Use
3. Zone Bypassing Enabled 7. Bell Squawk upon Arming/
Disarming
4. ESCORT Access 8. One Time Use Code
Bell Squawk Attribute
This attribute is used to determine whether an access code should generate an arming/disarming Bell
Squawk upon entry of the code for Away arming. The wireless keys with access codes associated with
them may generate Arming/Disarming Bell squawks. If desired, this option may be used with codes that
are manually entered. Please contact your installer to have this programmed.
NOTE: The Master Code cannot use the Bell Squawk attribute, but is required to enable it for
other codes.
NOTE: This feature cannot prevent the Arming/Disarming squawks from being generated if an
access code assigned to a wireless key is manually entered at a keypad.
Partition Assignment Mask
The master code has access to all partitions, and cannot be modified.

Notes on Access Codes and Programming
1. The master code’s attributes cannot be changed.
2. When a new code is programmed in User Programming it will be checked against all other codes
in the system. If a duplicate code is found, an error tone is given and the code is returned to what
it was before it was changed. This applies to both 4 and 6-digit codes.
Erasing an Access Code
To erase a code, select the code and choose Delete User. The system will delete the code immediately
and the user will be returned to select another code.
Installer Menu
These functions are for the installer’s use only.
User Functions
First disarm the system then enter Options, User Functions, then Master Code. This command is used to
gain access to the following list of master functions of the system:
Time and Date
Enter desired time and date.
Auto-Arm Time
The system can be programmed to arm at a programmed time each day, per partition. Upon entry of this
section, enter the desired Auto-Arm time for each day of the week.
At the selected Auto-Arm time, the keypad buzzers will sound for a programmed amount of time (pro-
grammable by the installer only) to warn that an auto-arm is in progress. The bell can also be pro-
grammed to squawk once every 10 seconds during this warning period. When the warning period is
complete, the system will arm with no exit delay and in the Away Mode.
Auto-Arming can be cancelled or postponed by entering a valid access code only during the pro-
grammed warning period. Auto-Arming will be attempted at the same time the next day. When the
Auto-Arming process is cancelled or postponed, the Auto-arm Cancellation Reporting Code will be
transmitted (if programmed).
If arming is inhibited by one of the following, the Auto-Arm Cancellation transmission will be commu-
nicated:
• AC / DC Inhibit Arm
• Latching System Tampers
• Zone Expander Supervisory Fault
Enable DLS/Allow System Service
If enabled, the installer will be able to access Installer Programming via remote (DLS). In case of DLS
access this provides a window where rings will be detected by the panel. The DLS window will remain
open for 6 hrs, during which time the installer will be able to enter DLS an unlimited number of times.
After the 6-hr window has expired, Installer’s Programming will be unavailable again until the window
is re-opened.
Event Buffer
Displays the date, time and the full description of the event.
The Log is organized from the most recent event (Top) to past events (Down).
The Left arrow scrolls forward in time.
The Right arrow scrolls back in time.
The Back returns you to the Home screen.
This screen will time out to the Home screen after 30 seconds of inactivity.

System Test
The system’s Bell Output (2s), Keypad Lights and Communicator are tested. This test will also measure
the panel’s standby battery.
Auto-Arm/Disarm Control
Pressing Auto-Arm while in the User Function menu will enable (three beeps) or disable (one long
beep) the Auto-Arm and Auto-Disarm feature, by partition. With this feature enabled, the panel will
automatically arm in the Away mode (Stay/Away zones active) or disarm at the same time each day.
The Auto-Arm time is programmed with the Auto-Arm time button. Auto-Disarm must be programmed
by the system installer.
User Call-up
If enabled by the installer, the panel will make 1 attempt to call the downloading computer. The down-
loading computer must be waiting for the panel to call before downloading can be performed.
