Key
[STAY]
[FORCE]
Function
Pressing the [STAY] key will update the analog 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 analog 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 Analog Expander module checks in with the Protege System Controller. If
a Analog Expander fails to check in, it triggers its associated communication failure (AExxx:08) 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 Analog Expander polling time is set to 250 seconds. Setting a
polling time below 60 seconds should only be done for Analog Expanders that are in a non-secure area or are
deemed to be high risk.
i
The analog expansion modules are in communication constantly with the System Controller and
therefore it is recommended not to set the poll time below 250 seconds.
AE001 Polling
time: 250 secs
i
For UL and ULC listed installations you MUST set the polling time to 180 seconds or less.
