Option
1
Periodic Test Transmission
Exception
ON Periodic Test Transmission Exception Enabled. With this feature enabled, the panel
will not send a test transmission if there has been a transmission sent to the receiver
within the programmed time. Test Transmission Exception allows any communicable event
to reset the test transmission cycle, reducing the amount of communications events sent
to the central station, For example:
02/10 - Opening
02/11 - Closing 1 Days
02/14 - Test Transmission 3 Days < 7 Days
02/16 - Opening 2 Days between
02/18 - Closing 2 Days Test
02/21 - Test Transmission 3 Days < Transmissions
If an event is communicated, the Test Tx counter is reset, ensuring that a Test Tx event will
not occur for an entire cycle from that point, instead of from the last Test Transmission
sent. An example is given below with test transmission set for every 3 days. This ensures
that a transmission is sent every 3 days to test communications, however, if an event has
already been sent in the last 3 days, a Test Transmission is not required. If the event was
sent via landline, the landline Test Tx cycle is reset. If the event is sent via LINKS1000, the
LINKS Test Tx cycle is reset.
NOTE: In order for an event to reset the Test Tx cycle, a Kissoff must be received from the
receiver.
NOTE: The Test Transmission cycle will not be reset when events are transmitted using the
Pager (05) or Residential Dial (06) formats.
OFF Periodic Test Transmission Exception Disabled. The Panel will always send a test
transmission at the programmed interval and time. This option is OFF at default.

Option
2
Verbal Door Chime ON Verbal Door Chime is Enabled. The system will verbally annunciate the zone (or pro-
grammed label) when it is violated if Door Chime is programmed.
This feature is available when ESCORT5580 v3.00, and the PC5936 v1.00 are used. This
feature enables the Door Chime to verbally annunciate the Zone that has been violated
instead of a series of beeps, If the Verbal Chime Feature is enabled, whenever a zone with
the Chime attribute enabled is violated, a series of beeps will sound and the system will
verbally prompt “Zone X”. When the zone is restored, the system will sound a series of
beeps. For example, if label is programmed for the above Zone, the system will verbally
annunciate (after the beeps) “South Bedroom Window”. See associated Installation
Manuals. NOTE: Only beeps are annunciated on a zone restore.
OFF Verbal Door Chime is Disabled. The system will only annunciate a series of beeps
whenever a zone programmed for Chime is either violated or restored. This option is
defaulted OFF.

Verbal Alarm ON Verbal Alarm is Enabled. The system will verbally annunciate audible zone alarms via
their zone number (or programmed label) in conjunction with the Bell Outputs.
This feature is available when the ESCORT5580 v3.00 and PC5936 v1.00) are used. This
feature enables verbal annunciation of alarm conditions on the system. When an audible
non-fire zone goes into alarm with this feature is enabled, the PC5020 will sound the
alarm condition via the Bell Outputs, but every 15 seconds (as programmed in the Alarm
Tone Period – Section [178]) it will silence the bell outputs and the PC5936 speakers will
verbally annunciate the alarm condition “Alarm Zone 4” or, if the label is programmed,
“Alarm South Bedroom Window”
When the zone is in alarm, the software automatically inserts the word “Alarm” in front
of the appropriate zone label.
When an audible fire zone goes into alarm, the system automatically inserts the words
“Fire” and “Alarm” in front of the appropriate zone label (“Fire Alarm Zone 4” or “Fire
Alarm South Bedroom Smoke”).
If there are multiple alarms, the system will annunciate the first and latest zone that has
gone into alarm.
NOTE: Fire annunciation always overrides any Burglary Zone alarm annunciation. Verbal
Alarm will cease with the Siren at Bell Time Out.
OFF Verbal Alarm is Disabled. The system will only annunciate via the Bell Outputs during an
audible alarm condition. This option is defaulted OFF.
