Access Code
A 4- or 6-digit code that allows users to access arming,
disarming and other system functions. Different access
codes may be assigned to different users.
Automation Item
Automation Items are devices (e.g. lights, appliances,
etc.) connected to X-10 modules and controlled
within the Home Automation feature of the Escort
system. Automation items can be controlled manually,
or with schedules and/or PGM outputs.
Command Output / Output Control
You can program any programmable output (PGM
output) on the system to work as a Command
Output (1-4). See your control panel Installation
Manual for more information. Users can activate
Command Outputs by entering [*][7][1-4] at any
keypad, or through the Escort.
When you assign items or modes to PGM outputs
programmed as Command Outputs, users can
enter [*][7][1-4] to turn the items or modes on or off.
You can program a label for each Command Output
(Output Control labels). See section 3.4,
“Programming Label Entry Sections”.
Mode
Modes give users control over groups of automation
items programmed for scheduled or event initiated
operation. Users can turn a mode on or off to
activate/deactivate the items assigned to it. When
a mode is turned on, each of these items will
operate according to their assigned schedule(s) /
PGM outputs.

disarmed and controlled independently of other
zones grouped into a separate partition. Each

the premises that is monitored by a detector (e.g.
smoke detector, door/window contact, motion
detector, glassbreak detector, etc.).
