Using the Escort5580, users can control up to 32
items such as lights, outlets and window blinds.
The Escort5580 controls automation items (lights,
outlets, blinds, etc.) through a PL-513 or PSC04
Controller module (see section 2.5 for connection
information).
Read sections 6 to 8 carefully before programming
automation items.
6.1 Enabling Home Automation
For automation items to work, enable the Home
Automation feature in section [002], option [03].
You will also need to program each automation
item individually, as described in section 6.2,
“Programming Automation Item Operation”.
Users will be able to control automation items
through the [✱][5] menu. For additional security,
enable the [ ✱ ] [5] requires an Access Code option.
If enabled, the Escort5580 will prompt
“Enter Y“Enter Y
“Enter Y“Enter Y
“Enter Y

after the user enters [✱][5]. If No Access Code
Required for [✱][5] is enabled, the Escort5580 will
immediately enter the automation item control menu.
To control the automation items, the PL-513 or
PSC04 Controller transmits signals over the 50 or
60 Hz AC power of the premises. Choose either
50Hz or 60Hz in section [002], option [05].
Program the Number of Automation Item
Transmissions that the Escort will send when an
automation item is activated. Since Automation
transmissions are not confirmed, having the
Escort5580 transmit multiple on/off commands to
the control modules can increase reliability.
Each transmission takes approximately
one second. The larger the number, the
slower the automation system will
appear to operate.
The default setting is [001], one transmission.
Valid entries are [001] to [255]. A setting of [003]
will overcome most signal transmission difficulties.

6.2 Programming Automation
Item Operation
To tell the Escort5580 how each automation item
should work, program the operation of each item to
be installed in programming sections [130] through
[289]. For each item, you need to program these
sections:
• Program the home automation item House
Code and Unit Number (see section 6.4)
• Enable the automation item and program
various operating options (see section 6.5)
• Select which schedules (if any) the automation
item will follow (see section 6.6)
• Select which modes (if any) the automation
item will follow (see section 6.7)
• Select which panel events (PGM outputs) (if
any) the automation item will follow (see section
6.8).
• Select how the item will be activated and
deactivated by programming an output
condition for the automation item (see section
6.3)
Programming sections [130] through [134] for
automation item 01 are described in detail in
sections 6.3 to 6.7. Program automation items 02
through 32 in the same manner.
In addition, you may need to program one or more
of the following:
• The On Time, Off Time and Days of the Week
of each schedule to be used (see section 7.1).
• Zone Follower options, if any automation items
will follow zones (see section 6.9).
• Automation Item Pulse Timers, if any
automation items will turn on for a short period
of time when activated (see section 6.5, option
(06)).
