Protege System Controller Reference Manual

To list all offline or online modules refer to the Module Network Functions (see page 207).
Special functions are provided to update and update reset a module individually by using a shortcut key directly
from the keypad selection screen.
Key
[STAY]
[FORCE]
Function
Pressing the [STAY] key will update the PGM expander number that is currently
displayed in the module selection window. This will program the module WITHOUT
resetting the module.
Pressing the [FORCE] key will update and init the PGM expander number that is
currently displayed in the module selection window. This will program the module and
then restart the module.
Module Polling Time
The polling time defines how often the PGM expander module checks in with the Protege System Controller. If a
PGM expander fails to check in, it triggers its associated communication failure trouble zone (PXxxx:08) and the
trouble zone for a general module communications failure.
To enter a polling time (008 to 250 seconds), use the keypad as explained in section Entering Decimal Numbers
(see page 341) and press [ENTER]. By default the PGM expander polling time is set to 250 seconds. Setting a
polling time below 60 seconds should only be done for PGM expanders that are in a non-secure area.

time: 250 secs

For UL and ULC listed installations you MUST set the polling time to 180 seconds or less.
PGM Expander Module Options
Options that relate to the PGM expander module can be set using option entry.
PX001 Module
[--------]
To modify options, use the keypad as explained in section Entering Data Options (see page 344).
Option 1 - High Current Charging
• Enabled the high current charging option will set 700mA charging in the power supply system.
For PGM expanders that do not have a power supply this option performs no function.
• Disabled the high current option will set the standard 350mA charging rate in the power supply system.
Option 2 – Invert Module Tamper
• Enabled the PGM expander will invert the module tamper input allowing a normally open (door closed)
tamper switch to be used.
• Disabled the PGM expander will use the standard normally closed (door closed) tamper switch.
Option 3 – Stage PGM On/Off
• Enabled the PGM expander will not activate any two local PGMs within 50ms of each other. E.g. If PGM's
1 to 4 were activated at the same time the PX16 would activate PGM 1 first then delay 50ms and activate
PGM 2, continuing like this until all 4 PGMs were activated.
• Disabled the PGM expander will turn on or off all PGM's instantly.
Option 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 - Reserved
• Reserved do not modify
Enabling/disabling or modifying the settings of reserved options is not recommended.
