Mounting the Cabinet
Install the Escort4580 on either side-wall of the PC4020
cabinet, mounted in a dry, secure location. If mounting
a new cabinet for the Escort4580, select a dry location
close to the already installed alarm control panel and
close to the telephone connection.
To mount the unit:
1. Press the four plastic stand-offs through the
mounting holes on the side wall of the cabinet.
2. Hold the cabinet in position and pull all wires into
the cabinet.
3. Secure the cabinet to the wall in the desired location.
Use appropriate wall anchors when securing the
cabinet to drywall, plaster, concrete, brick or other
surfaces.
4. Press the circuit board into the plastic stand-offs
to secure the module to the cabinet.
Once the unit is mounted, complete the wiring.
Wiring
Before beginning to wire the unit, ensure that all
power (AC transformer and battery) is disconnected
from the control panel. Refer to the wiring diagram
on page ii.
To wire the Escort4580:
1. Connect the four Combus wires to the Escort4580.
Connect the red, black, yellow and green Combus
wires to the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN terminals,
respectively.
2. RNG and TIP Terminals
Connect the Escort4580 RNG terminal to the alarm
control panel R-1 terminal.
Connect the Escort4580 TIP terminal to the alarm
control panel T-1 terminal.
Connect the Escort4580 T-1 terminal to the brown
(BRN) conductor of the premises telephone line.
Connect the Escort4580 R-1 terminal to the grey
(GRY) conductor of the premises telephone line.
NOTE: The Escort4580 must be located after the
control panel on the telephone lines. The
Escort4580 will not function if connected at any
other point on the telephone lines.
Installation
3. RJ11X Connector to X10 Module
Use an RJ11X connector and cable (not supplied)
to connect the Escort4580 to an X-10 PL-513 or X-
10 Pro PSC04 module. Refer to and follow the
manufacturer's instructions for installing the PL-
513 or PSC04 module.
The following diagram shows the required cable
for connecting the Escort4580 to the PSC04 (PL513).
With the jacks side by side (tabs facing up), the
colors of the wire in each jack will appear in the
same order from left to right. This cable is called a
“Straight Through Cable” as per telephone
industry standards.
NOTE: Do not use a “Swapped”, “Flipped” or
“Crossover” cable as it will not work with the
ESCORT4580. To verify whether you have the
correct type of cable, plug in the PSC04 (PL513). The
red LED should turn ON. Connect the telephone
cable to both the PSC04 (PL513) and the
ESCORT4580 If the LED on the PSC04 (PL513) turns
OFF and remains unlit, you are using the wrong type
of cable.
4. Escort4580 to PC4936 Module
If you will be adding a PC4936 to the system, use
the supplied cable to connect it to the Escort4580
at the dedicated audio ports on each module.

Automation Items
An automation item is an object (usually an appliance,
such as a light) that can be controlled (turned on or off,
or dimmed) by the Escort4580. For automation items
to work, you need to enable the Home Automation
feature in section [002], option [01], in addition to the
programming described in this section.
Program the operation of automation items 01 - 32 in
programming sections [130] through [289]. You need
to program five sections to describe the operation of
each automation item:
• Program the home automation item House Code and
Unit Number
• Program various operating options as described
below
• Program a schedule for the automation item to
follow
• Program a mode for the automation item to follow
• Program the output condition of the automation
item
Programming sections [130] through [134] for
automation item 01 are described in detail below. The
programming sections for automation items 02
through 32 are programmed in the same manner.
To assign an automation item to a programmable
output option, see Assigning Items to Programmable
Outputs at the end of section 7.
[130] Automation Item 1:
House Code and Unit Number

pulse, or to activate an item for a specific length
of time.
NOTE: Do not use the Programmed Pulse When
Active feature if Dimming is enabled. All pulses turn
the automation item ON.
07 Prompt Option 1
