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.
Item .................................... Items are devices (e.g. lights, appliances, etc.) that can be
controlled within the Home Automation feature of the Escort system.
Such devices can be controlled using a touch-tone telephone.
Mode .................................. Modes give you control over groups of items or thermostat
occupancy settings programmed for scheduled or event initiated
operation. When a mode is turned ON, each of the items/thermostat
occupancy settings will automatically operate according to the
schedule(s) or panel events assigned to them.
Example
Example Example Example Example: your installer may have programmed a "Vacation" mode
that you can turn on to activate premises lights and thermostats while
you are away.
Occupancy Setting ........... Each thermostat has four different temperature ranges that can be
programmed. These temperature ranges are called Occupancy
Settings:
• Day Occupancy Setting
• Night Occupancy Setting
• Auxiliary Occupancy Setting
• Away Occupancy Setting.
These occupancy settings allow you to easily change the
temperature range for the area controlled by the thermostat.
Depending on which Thermostat Mode is turned on, the thermostat
will use either heating or cooling devices to maintain the
temperature within the range programmed for the occupancy
setting.
Output Control ................. A control which allows you to activate an output on the main alarm
control panel. This output can be programmed by the installer to
activate a variety of devices (e.g. to temporarily open magnetically
locked doors).
Partition ............................ A group of zones on the system which are armed/disarmed and
controlled independently of other zones grouped into a separate
partition. Each partition has its own keypad and can be assigned its
own access codes.
Telephone Access Code . A 3-digit security code that must be entered when using a telephone
to access the Escort system. The code must be entered whether
calling locally (from a telephone on the premises and on the same
line as the Escort) or remotely (from any other touch-tone
telephone). Once access is gained to the Escort, a normal system
access code is still usually required to access system functions.
Thermostat Mode ............. One of the four modes in which an EMS-100 thermostat can be
operating: Off, Heat, Cool, Automatic.
Zone .................................. An area (e.g. a room) or barrier (e.g. a door) within the premises that
is monitored by a detector (e.g. smoke detector, door/window
contact, motion detector, glassbreak detector, etc.).
