Installation 2.1 Package Contents When receiving the PRT-RDE2-PCB Protege Reader Expander you should find the kit contains the items listed below. When receiving this product, you should find the kit contains the items listed below. If you do not have the correct contents, please contact your distributor immediately.
2.3 Cabinet Tamper Switch The enclosure tamper input signals to the monitoring station or remote computer that the Reader Expander enclosure has been opened. The tamper input switch shall be mounted into the steel bracket provided and connected to the tamper connection terminals as shown in the diagram below. The tamper input opens and closes trouble zone RDxxx:01 on the Reader Expander.
2.5 AC Power The Protege PGM Expander should be supplied by a dedicated electrical power source rated for a minimum 10Amp Load and have a dedicated circuit breaker. Do not use a switch controlled breaker or a switched electrical point to supply electrical power. Connect the primary of a 16.5VAC, 50/60Hz, 40VA Transformer to the electrical circuit and run the secondary to the AC input on the controller terminals.
The battery test procedure uses a special algorithm to prevent deep discharge and increase battery endurance. A dynamic battery test is performed every ten minutes when AC power is present and a battery condition alarm will be generated if the battery is either disconnected or shows poor capacity. Battery fault conditions will activate the battery trouble zone associated with the address assigned to the Reader Expander.
When installing an Ethernet connection, the Protege Reader Expander should be interfaced using a standard segment (<100M in length) and should be connected to a suitable Ethernet hub or switch. Ethernet 10/100 Switch Hub Connection Temporary direct connections can be used for onsite programming by using a standard Ethernet crossover cable.

Connection of the communications should be performed according to the diagram shown above. It is important that the N+ Network Communications Power be supplied from an independent battery backed power supply unit or a networked module capable of supplying the required voltage to all devices on the RS485 network. Always connect the Reader Expanders NA and NB terminals to the NA and NB terminals of the communication network.
2.10 Slave Device Network The Protege Reader Expander incorporates a secondary encrypted RS-485 communication interface that can be used to expand the functionality of the Reader Expander for the purpose of High Rise Elevator Control. A floor control module PRT-PX16 Protege 16 PGM Expander, set as a floor control device, is attached to the slave communication interface.

If an external power supply is required, a UL 603 or UL 294 listed power-limited power supply must be used to comply with UL installation standards, and a CAN/ULC-S318 or CAN/ULC-S319 listed power-limited power supply must be used to comply with ULC installation standards. Warning: The 12V S+ and S- Communication input must be supplied from only ONE point.
2.11 RS-485 Biasing Settings The Protege Reader Expander has biasing settings for the module network. Biasing can be configured for either high or low (L indicates a low bias and H indicates high bias configuration). Both jumpers MUST be set to the same bias type.
Communication Setup Before the Protege Reader Expander can communicate with the Protege System Controller the communications need to be setup. These settings are available from either a web interface or by using a Protege LCD Keypad. To program the reader expander using the web interface the IP address must be known. ...
Controller Connection The controller connection defines how the reader expander finds the Protege System Controller on the network. This can be done either dynamically where the reader expander will find an available controller to connect to or statically. When connecting statically the Controller IP Address must be set (see below). CTRL Connect Static Use the [1] and [3] keys to scroll the connection selection and press [ENTER] to select the connection displayed.
Module IP Subnet Mask In conjunction with the IP Address a netmask must be configured to allow access to the appropriate node on the subnet. By default this is set to a value of 255.255.255.0. Programming an IP Netmask requires knowledge of the network and subnet that the system controller will be connected to.
User Login To access to the reader expander programming you must login. By default the username is admin and the password admin. For maximum security, modify the password before competition of the installation. Web Programming User Login Page Setup Once logged in the main page (index.php) will be displayed.
Statistics The statistics web page displays the reader expander's serial number and firmware versions. Users To restrict access to the reader expander it is recommended to change the password of the default user. Select the checkbox of the user to be modified and click the Edit button as shown below. Up to two users can be programmed.
Door Access Control The Reader Expander allows the control of two separate access controlled doors used for entry or exit only, and a single access controlled door using entry/exit. 4.1 Reader Connection The Protege Reader Expander allows the connection of 2 reading devices or 4 Wiegand reading devices and the ability to control 2 doors (Entry or Exit Only) or 1 door (Entry and Exit).
4.2 Multiple Wiegand Reader Connection When operating the reader expander in multiple reader mode the Protege Reader Expander allows the connection of 4 wiegand reading devices controlling two doors each with Entry/Exit readers. When connecting Wiegand readers in multiple reader mode the secondary reader that is connected will have all connections wired to the same port as the primary card reader with the DATA 1 connection wired to the opposite reader connection DATA 1 input.
4.3 Magnetic Reader Connection The Protege Reader Expander allows the connection of standard magnetic track 2 format cards and provision is made in the software for a large number of formats. Formats include BIN (Bank Identification Number) for ATM access control, Full 16 Character decoding, and a range of first 4, 5 and 6 card number encoding. For information on the use of magnetic readers please refer to Application Note AN 009 Connecting Magnetic Card Readers...
4.5 Door Lock Connection The Protege Reader Expander provides a connection for 2 electric strike locks with full monitoring of the lock circuit for tamper and over current/fuse blown conditions. The door lock monitoring can be disabled if it is not required.
Zone Inputs The Protege Reader Expander has 8 Zone Inputs. The reader expander also monitors 16 trouble zones used to report trouble conditions. A trouble zone is in most cases not physically connected with a device, rather it is related within the system. For example, a module communication fault causes a trouble zone to open as a result of the communication failure.
Page 25
Each zone input can use a different input configuration. To program a large number of zones, with a single configuration type, use the Multiple Selection feature in the Protege System Management Suite application. When using the No Resistor configuration, the Controller only monitors the opened and closed state of the connected input device generating the (OPEN) Alarm and (CLOSED) Sealed conditions.
5.2 Trouble Zone Inputs Each reader expander can monitor up to 16 trouble zones. Trouble zones are used to monitor the status of the reader expander and in most cases are not physically connected to an external zone. For example, trouble zone RD001:06 is used to monitor door 1 for a forced open condition and will generate an alarm state if the door is forced.
Programmable Outputs The Protege Reader Expander has 4 Programmable Outputs (PGMs). The PGMs are used to activate the Electric Door Locks, Sirens, Lighting Control and Relay Accessory Products. 6.1 Lock PGM Outputs (1 and 2) The + and - terminals of Lock 1 (PGM1 RD001:01) and Lock 2 (PGM2 RD001:02) are used to power electric door strikes and other lock control devices that require a steady voltage output.
6.2 Standard PGM Outputs (3 to 8) The PGM outputs 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 on the Protege Reader Expander are open collector outputs and switch to a ground connection. The PGMs have a default pre-programmed function as detailed in the following table and are used to control the indicator and audible outputs on the attached reading device.
6.3 PGM Beeper Outputs Special Functions (5 and 8) The PGM beeper outputs 5 and 8 on the provide special diagnostic information when a card is presented. The following table shows the beeper modes of operation. Function Description 2 Beeps Access Granted.
Configuration Switch The addressing of the Reader Expander allows up to 128 devices to be connected to the system controller. The 'CONFIG' configuration DIP switch allows each Reader Expander to have a unique address. 7.1 Address Configuration The switch positions 1 to 7 select the device address from 1 to 128. When setting an address the Reader Expander must be powered down (Battery and AC) and restarted for the new address to take affect.
Status Indication The Reader Expander includes comprehensive diagnostic indicators that can aid the installer in diagnosing faults and conditions. In some cases an indicator may have multiple meanings depending on the status indicator display at the time. 8.1 Status Indicator The Status Indicator is located in the centre of the PCB and indicates the status of the Protege Reader Expander.
8.6 5V Isolated Power Indicator The Reader Expander communicates using an isolated RS-485 interface for optimal performance and this requires an isolated supply on the N+ and N- terminals. When a valid power supply is available the '5V ISO' indicator will be ON for the interface. The '5V ISO' indication is located at the top of the network isolated interface.
Error Code Indication When the Reader Expander attempts to register or communicate with the system controller a registration error can be generated indicating that it was not successful. 9.1 Error Code Display The following table is only valid if the FAULT indicator is CONSTANTLY ON and the STATUS indicator is FLASHING RED.
