Tyco 4580 User Manual
Introduction
The Escort 4580 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.
The Escort 4580 allows any touch tone telephone to act as a keypad for your security system. The telephone
could be any phone 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”
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:
Enter [QQQ]
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 and the manual in a safe place
for future reference.
Important Note
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and, if included, a monitoring
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.

General System Operation
Your security system is made up of a control panel, one or more regular keypads, the Escort 4580, and various
detectors and sensors. 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, Escort 4580 Voice Assisted Security Control, fuses and standby
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 or areas of protection and each of these zones will have one or more
detection devices connected to it (devices such as 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 Escort 4580 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 by all users of the security system, and that it
be checked regularly for any changes in system status.
Access Codes
When using a telephone to operate your security system, you will use the same access codes as when using
the regular keypad. No additional codes are required. Your Master Code and other 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 Escort 4580.

Accessing Your Security System
Local Access
Use this procedure to access your security system from a telephone that is on the same phone line as your
security system. No dialling is necessary.
Pick up the telephone; you will hear a dial tone. Enter your [Local or Remote Telephone Access Code]. The dial
tone will stop and the system will announce
“Hello”“Hello”
“Hello”

“Enter Your Access Code”.
“Enter Your Access Code”.“Enter Your Access Code”.
Enter your [Access Code].
Remote Access
From a touch tone telephone, call the security system and let the line ring once. After a single ring, hang up and
call again. On the second call, the system will pick up after one or two rings and announce
“Hello”“Hello”
“Hello”
“Hello”“Hello”
Enter your [Local or Remote Telephone Access Code] within 10 seconds or the system will automatically hang
up. The system will then announce
“Enter Your Access Code”“Enter Your Access Code”

Access Codes are entered.
Once a valid access code has been entered, the system will announce one or more messages to advise of the
status of the system.
Accessing Partitions
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 of how partitions and Access Codes have been assigned on your system.
Note: Be sure to have your installer explain to you if your system is a Single or Multiple Partition
system.
Accessing a Single Partition
Access the security system using the steps described in the Accessing Your Security System section of this
manual.
After the system announces one or more messages to advise you of the status of the system, the system will
