6 PRT-KLCD Protege Alphanumeric LCD Keypad User Manual | April 2011
1.2 Terminology
To ensure that you manage your Protege System effectively please familiarise yourself with the following terms
used throughout this manual.
Areas / Partitions
An area or partition is used to divide large systems in to manageable regions. For example a building may have a
Warehouse Area, Administration Area and Production Area. An area operates like an individual alarm and is
armed and disarmed independently.
Zone Inputs
Movement detectors, door contacts and other protection devices are connected to the system on zone inputs. A
zone belongs to an area to protect the area and system from unauthorised entry. For example the reception
movement sensor zone would be assigned to the Administration Area.
Trouble Zone Inputs
Trouble zones operate similar to zones however they are used to monitor the status and condition of the system.
For example if the enclosure door on the main control device is opened it will open the Enclosure Tamper trouble
zone.
PGM Programmable Outputs
PGM's or Programmable Outputs are used to control devices from the Protege System. A PGM can be used to
activate lighting, activate a siren, turn on an indicator or unlock a door.
Automation Outputs
Automation Outputs are used to control devices that are required to be operated regularly by a user. For
example outdoor lighting, irrigation or HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) systems can be connected
to automation outputs.
Doors
When access control is enabled in a system, users are restricted access by programming the doors in a door
group. To gain entry or exit from a door the user must present a card, key tag or access the door using
alternative means (keypad control, remote or system management application).
LCD Keypads
LCD Keypads are used for all functions within the Protege System and are typically located near an entrance or
door to allow areas within the system to be armed and disarmed.
