Module Polling Time
The polling time defines how often the Reader Expander module checks in with the Protege System Controller.
If a Reader Expander fails to check in, it triggers its associated communication failure (RDxxx:16) trouble zone
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 Reader Expander polling time is set to 250 seconds. Setting
a polling time below 60 seconds should only be done for Reader Expanders that are in a non-secure area.

For reader expanders that do not have a power supply this option performs no function.
• Disabled the reader expander will set the standard 350mA charging in the power supply system.
Option 2 - Multiple Reader Connected to Port 1

connected for entry and exit processing. The duplex reader that is connected will always operate as the exit
reader.
• Disabled the reader port 1 interface will operate as a single reader input.
