Protege System Controller Reference Manual

Programming the name or text value is completed using the numerical keys on the keypad in the same manner
that you select a name or store a name using a mobile telephone keypad.
Entering text data is done by pressing keys multiple times to show the character required. The display will
change as the key is pressed.
Using the character key map shown, to enter the name John, the [5] key is pressed once, move the cursor one
location to the right with the [] key. Press the [6] key seven times and repeat the procedure for the other
characters in the text entry.
Access Code and PIN Number Entry
Access codes or PIN numbers are entered using the 0-9 keys. Pressing the [DISARM] key will delete the PIN
number.
PIN number entry can take on any number of digits from 1 up to 8 and can be preceded by any number of
zeros. For example the codes 1, 01 and 0001 are all unique within the Protege System.
In the following example the user code 2580 is programmed for UN00003 (Demo User by Default) over writing
the default demo user code of 111111.
UN00001 User
code: 111111
When you enter in to the PIN number entry screen the cursor will be located on the first programmed digit of the
PIN number or if the PIN number is not set it will be at the first position available. For our example the demo user
default PIN number of 111111 is going to be replaced with 2580.
UN00001 User
code: 111111
In the above screen the cursor will be flashing over the first 1 in the PIN number. We need to erase the PIN
number that is currently programmed by pressing the [DISARM] key.
UN00001 User
code: _
Pressing the [2], [5], [8], [0] will insert the new PIN number in the location we just cleared using the [DISARM]
key.
UN00001 User
code: 2580_
To save the PIN number press the [ENTER] key or use another navigation key to move off the screen and the
number will be automatically saved.
If you have not moved off the screen and want to recall the previous PIN number setting you can press the
[ARM] key.
Date and Time Data Entry
Date and time entries are used widely in the Protege System when configuring Schedules, Users and general
configuration parameters.
In some cases to disable a feature that is related to a date or time entry the actual date and time field is used to
activate the function that it provides. For example in the panel test report time screen a time configuration set to
–-:-- will result in the test report being disabled.
To clear the time or date setting press the [DISARM] key. The display will show the --:-- for the time and
--/--/---- for the date entry.
Test report
time: 02:00
In the example below we will be setting the test report time in the panel configuration section to 3:30pm. The
Protege accepts entries for all programmable time and date information in military format. Display of the time on
the LCD display can be configured for a 12 hour clock however this is a display feature only.
