Application 5: Simulated Home
Occupancy
The Escort5580 can be programmed to turn lights ON and OFF at intervals, in such a
manner as to simulate the type of activity that might occur if the home were occupied.
General Program-
ming
For this application, we will program the Power832’s PGM 03 to signal a Latched System
Event to the Escort Module.
No additional programming is required in the Power832.
For this application, we will use both Automation Item #01 and Automation Item #02 .

sec-
ond X-10 light module (i.e. [A2] = [001]).
