Arming and Disarming

With the Escort5580, you can use a telephone to arm your system/partition (so that alarms,

or other devices, will be activated when a zone on your premises is breached, such as

when an Entry-Exit Door is opened). This can be done either locally or remotely. Similarly,

you can use a telephone to disarm the system/partition.

NOTE: DO NOT use a telephone with a redial button to arm or disarm your system.

3.1 Away Arming

NOTE: When arming your system/partition from a remote telephone, the system/

partition will automatically be armed in Stay mode. (See section 3.2, below.)

Access your system (Section 2—Accessing Your Security System) and select a partition

(Section 2.5—If You Have a Two-Partition System).

If the system/partition is ready to be armed, the system will prompt:

“{System} is OFF.“{System} is OFF.

“{System} is OFF.

To turn ON, enter your access code.”To turn ON, enter your access code.”

To turn ON, enter your access code.”

Enter your [access code]. The system will then announce:

“Turning {System} ON. Exit Delay in progress.“Turning {System} ON. Exit Delay in progress.

“Turning {System} ON. Exit Delay in progress.

To turn OFF, enter your access code.”To turn OFF, enter your access code.”

To turn OFF, enter your access code.”

If the system/partition is not ready to be armed, the system will prompt:

“{System} is open. {Zone XX}“{System} is open. {Zone XX}

“{System} is open. {Zone XX}

Secure before turning ON.”Secure before turning ON.”

Secure before turning ON.”

When the “Secure before turning on” message is heard, ensure that any breached zones

on the system/partition are secure (e.g. by closing any open doors that the system/partition

monitors) before trying to arm the partition.

NOTE: Depending on the model of control panel you have, you may be able to toggle

Stay/Away zones on or off after your system has been armed. See your system's

Instruction Manual for more information.

3.2 At-Home Arming

At-Home Arming allows you to arm the system/partition and remain on the premises. When a

system is at-home armed, certain zones (Stay/Away zones) will not be armed, so that you can

move freely in certain areas of the premises. Your installer should tell you which zones are

Stay/Away zones. At-Home Arming also cancels the Entry Delay (see the Instruction Manual of

your control panel) on the Entry-Exit Doors so that an alarm will sound

immediately

if the Entry-

Exit Door is opened.

When the system prompts:

“{System} is OFF.“{System} is OFF.

“{System} is OFF.

To turn ON, enter your access code.”To turn ON, enter your access code.”

To turn ON, enter your access code.”

Activate the Stay Arming feature by pressing [✱]. The system will then prompt:

“To turn the system ON without Entry Delay, press [9],”“To turn the system ON without Entry Delay, press [9],”

“To turn the system ON without Entry Delay, press [9],”

Press [9]. The system will prompt:

“Enter your access code.”“Enter your access code.”

“Enter your access code.”
