Technical Specifications

Other Features

Ethernet 10/100 Connection
Onboard Ethernet communication allowing
direct connection from a local PC or interconnection to an existing LAN/WAN:
> Directly connect the Protege GX system across a LAN or WAN interface for high speed upload and download.
> IP reporting functionality using the Protege IP Reporting protocol, Contact ID over IP, SIA over IP and full text reporting
methods.
> Full 10/100 compliant network interface allows the connection of the controller to all networks at the maximum capable signaling rate.

Integrated Arming/Disarming
Featuring advanced integration of arming
and disarming solutions for control of hundreds of alarm areas:
> Deny access to a user based on the status of the area and allow the user to
control the area they are entering, in turn reducing false alarms.
> Implement bank vault areas to control and manage the time delayed access and
unlocking of vault areas in banking facilities without the need for extra hardware control devices.
> Prevent access to a keypad using a card and PIN function or allow card
presentation to automatically login the
user at the associated keypad.
> Disarm an area associated with an elevator floor on access or prevent the user from gaining access to the floor based on the area status associated with
the floor.
> Arm large numbers of areas using area groups.

Integrated Access Control
Providing a highly sophisticated access control solution with large user capacity and extensive features:
> Utilize multiple access levels to manage users over scheduled periods and time
zones.
> Assign door groups, menu groups, area groups, floor groups and elevator groups
to an access level for flexible user management. Each user can have multiple groups in multiple access levels.
> Maintain and control users area status throughout the entire system with hard
and soft anti-passback configuration options.
> Multiple card presentation options allow the use of access control cards, tags or other credentials to arm and disarm areas associated with doors.
> Count users entering an area and arm the area when the count reaches a terminal
number or deny access to users based on a maximum user count.

Programmable Functions
Programmable functions allow for the use of special applications that are configured by the controller for logic, area, door and many other controllable devices:
> Perform actions when a particular event or operation occurs such as setting the room temperature based on the number of people in an area, adjusting the internal lighting levels based on a sensor reading,
or unlocking doors in the event of a fire alarm
> Process logic functions to allow complex equations to be evaluated using the special internal memory registers and output status
> Control of doors, areas, elevators and outputs can

Automation Functions
Automation points allow for the management of any controllable device such as lighting, air conditioning and signage. Link automation points to programmable functions to provide sophisticated control logic at the selection of an automation point. Text names can be set
for automation points allowing a scrollable list of controllable items in the system such as Office A/C or Outside Lights.

Connectivity and System Expansion
> Eight onboard inputs can each be programmed to require EOL (End Of Line), Dual EOL, or direct contact
> Bell/Siren output onboard with fully monitored operation
> Two high current Form C relays onboard
> Two integrated Weigand reader ports
> System expansion is achieved by connecting additional expander modules

Integration
> Link the Protege System with intelligent locking solutions through Integrated Control Technologys comprehensive
world class solution partners Salto, Hi-O Technology, Aperio, and TZ.
> High level lift interface for control of modern elevator systems
> Other third party integrations such as building and lighting control systems

Communication
RS-485 communication interface, onboard 2400bps modem, and a 10/100 Ethernet
communications port provides a complete solution for system expansion, offsite monitoring, system communication and integration.

Multifunction Reporting Services
The controller incorporates a host of communication options.
> Send IP based reporting protocols using the on board Ethernet and Protege IP
Reporting ArmorIP format.
> Report alarms using Contact ID, SIA Level 2.
> Communicate with third party
applications using ASCII or HEX directly from the controller.

Upgradable Firmware
Firmware upgradable directly from the Protege GX software.
