and other system functions. Different access codes may be
assigned to different users.

Items are devices (e.g. lights, appliances, etc.) that can be controlled
within the Home Automation feature of the VPM5580TC system. Such
devices can be controlled using a touch-tone telephone.
Mode ..................................

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.
Thermostat Mode ............
One of the four modes in which an EMS 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.).
