Introduction
S E C T I O N 1
The Escort5580 Voice Assisted Security Control provides easy to understand audible
information about the status of your security system, and makes operation simple by
prompting the user through each operation. In addition, you can use the Escort5580 to
control various Home Automation items.
The Escort5580 allows any touch-tone telephone to act as a keypad for your security
system. The telephone could be any telephone that is on the same line as your security
system, or an outside telephone which may be used to call the security system.
Some optional features described in this manual may not be available on your security
system. You will not hear the voice prompts for any option that is not activated on your
system.
In this manual, the voice messages are printed in bold and are enclosed in quotes, as
shown here:
“Enter your access code”“Enter your access code”
“Enter your access code”
“Enter your access code”“Enter your access code”
Your installer may have programmed labels for the Escort to announce when it refers to
things such as zones and partitions (e.g. you may hear "East wing" instead of "Partition 2").
Prompts that your installer may have changed are written in brace brackets, as shown here:
“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”
“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”
“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”
When instructed to press a key or keys to perform an operation, symbols for the keys will be
enclosed in square brackets, as shown here:

1.1 About Your Security System
Your DSC security equipment has been designed to give you the greatest possible
flexibility and convenience. To fully benefit from the features of your security system, you
should read this manual and the Instruction Manual provided with your system very
carefully. Have your installer instruct you on system operation and on which features have
been activated on your system. All users of the system should be instructed on its use. Fill
out the System Information page in your Security System Instruction Manual and store it
with the manual in a safe place for future reference.
:
IMPORTANT NOTE
to alert you and, if included, a central station of an emergency situation. Security
systems are generally very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and
they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance.
Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security
professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been
provided and on system operation.
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended

I N T R O D U C T I O N
1.2 General System Operation
Your security system is made up of a control panel, one or two regular keypads (one for
each partition of your system), the Escort5580 and various detection devices. The control
panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility room or in the basement. The metal cabinet
contains the system electronics, Escort5580 Voice Assisted Security Control, fuses and
stand-by battery. There is normally no reason for anyone but the installer or service persons
to have access to the control panel.
The security system has several zones—areas (e.g. rooms) or barriers (e.g. doors,
windows) of protection monitored by one or more detection devices (e.g. motion detectors,
door contacts, glassbreak detectors or shock sensors).
The regular keypad is an important part of your security system. It is used to send
commands to the system and to display system information. Even though a telephone and
the Escort5580 can be used to operate your system, the telephone will not automatically
display or indicate system status or zones in alarm. Therefore, it is essential that a regular
keypad be placed in a location that is accessible to all users of the security system, and
that it be checked regularly for any changes in system status.
1.3 Access Codes
When using a telephone to operate your security system, you will first have to enter a
Telephone Access Code, and then use the same Access Codes you use with the regular
keypad. The Master Code and other access codes programmed on your system function
exactly as if you were using a regular keypad. Refer to your system’s instruction manual for
further information on access codes.
NOTE: It is recommended that Duress Codes not be used with the Escort5580.
1.4 Audio Help
If your security system has an audio matrix module (PC59XX and intercom stations)
connected to it, the Escort5580 can provide step-by-step audio instructions through the
intercom stations. You can access the help function in one of two ways, depending on how
your installer has programmed the "Help" button on your keypads:
General Audio Help
1. Press the "Help" function key on the keypad
2. The Escort5580 will page all intercom stations.
3. Press the Page/Answer button on one of the stations (this button must be pressed within
5 seconds for the feature to work). This links the stations to the Escort5580. The
Escort5580 announces audio help prompts over the intercom stations.
Identified Audio Help
1. Press the Help function key on the keypad
2. The Escort5580 announces audio help prompts over the intercom station beside the
keypad.
NOTE: If a user is accessing the Escort locally over the telephone line, the Help
function key will not work.

Accessing Your Security System
S E C T I O N 2
With the Escort5580 you can use a telephone (touch-tone only) to access your security
system. This can be done either from a telephone on the premises (Local Access), or from a
telephone off the premises anywhere in the world (Remote Access).
2.1 Local Access
Use this procedure to access your security system from a telephone that is on the same
telephone line as your security system. No dial-in is necessary.
Pick up the telephone; you will hear a dial tone.
Enter your Telephone Access Code. The dial tone will stop and the system will announce:
“Hello.”“Hello.”
“Hello.”
“Hello.”“Hello.”
The system will then prompt:
“Enter your access code.”“Enter your access code.”
“Enter your access code.”
“Enter your access code.”“Enter your access code.”
Enter your [access code]. The system announces one or more messages to advise you of its
status.
2.2 Remote Access
From any touch-tone telephone, first dial the number of your premises. If your premises
have more than one line, be sure to call the number of the same line on which your
Escort5580 has been installed. After a single ring, hang up, wait 10 seconds, and call
again. On the second call, the system will answer after one or two rings and announce:
“Hello.”“Hello.”
“Hello.”
“Hello.”“Hello.”
Now you must enter your Telephone Access Code within 10 seconds or the system will
automatically hang up.
The system will then prompt:
“Enter your access code.”“Enter your access code.”
“Enter your access code.”
“Enter your access code.”“Enter your access code.”
Enter your [access code] within 20 seconds or the system will hang up. The system will also
hang up if 3 incorrect access codes are entered.
Once an access code has been entered, the system will announce one or more messages to
advise you of its status.
NOTE: There is only one “Telephone Access Code”. It is programmed by your
installer. It is not the same as your system access code, which you also enter on your
system keypad. More than one system access code may be programmed for use by
different users of your system (see section 8—Programming Access Codes).
2.3 Receiving Incoming Calls
If the Escort5580 is being used on the premises at the same time as someone calls you, the
system will announce:
"Attention, you have an incoming call. To receive the call, press [#] now.""Attention, you have an incoming call. To receive the call, press [#] now."
"Attention, you have an incoming call. To receive the call, press [#] now."
"Attention, you have an incoming call. To receive the call, press [#] now.""Attention, you have an incoming call. To receive the call, press [#] now."
To answer the incoming call, press [#]. To continue to use the Escort5580, do not press [#].

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
Escort5580 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 Escort5580 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 Escort5580 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 {System}, press [1].”
“To Select {System}, press [1].”
“To Select {System}, press [1].”“To Select {System}, press [1].”
“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”
“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”
“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”“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.
