2.4 What is a Partition?
A partition is a group of zones which act independently of other groups of zones. Each
partition acts as an independent alarm system. Partitions will have different access codes
to arm and disarm them. The access codes assigned to one partition will not work on
another partition. However, access codes can be assigned to more than one partition to
allow someone to use one access code for several different partitions. Your installer will
inform you how partitions and access codes have been assigned on your system.
NOTE: If you have a two-partition system, be sure to have your installer explain if your
Escort5580TC has been enabled to control one or both partitions.
2.5 If You Have a Two-Partition System
If you have a two-partition system, the Escort may prompt you to select a partition after
entering your access code (as in Section 2—Accessing Your Security System). You will have
to select a partition only if:
· your Escort5580TC has been enabled to control both partitions
· the access code you enter has been programmed to access both partitions
If both of these are the case, the system will prompt you to select a partition as follows:
“To Select {System}, press [1].”
“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”
(“{System}” in this case refers to Partition 1)
Press [1] or [2], to select a partition.
The system will announce the status of the selected partition.
NOTE: Prompt words enclosed in brace brackets, “{ },” refer to labels. The system will
announce the enclosed word by default unless it has been programmed to announce a
specific label (e.g. you might hear “East Wing” instead of “{Partition 2}”).
2.6 Fire, Auxiliary and Panic Alarms
Your installer may have set up your system so that you can send a Fire, Auxiliary or Panic
alarm at the press of a button. If so, using your telephone, you can:
• send a Fire alarm by pressing and holding [1] on your telephone for 2 seconds
• send an Auxiliary alarm by pressing and holding [2] on your telephone for 2 seconds
• send a Panic alarm by pressing and holding [3] on your telephone for 2 seconds.
Ask your installer for more information.
NOTE: If the keypad lockout has been triggered by the entry of a number of incorrect
access codes, the Fire, Auxiliary and Panic alarm buttons will not work.
