Area Security
The area status display does not show all areas to all users. The area security control with the Protege allows
various groups of area's to be displayed to a user depending on the access that the user has and the area's
that are allowed to be controlled by the keypad they have logged in to.
y The keypad that the user has logged in to will display the primary area that is assigned to that keypad if the
user who logged in has access to the primary area.
y If the area is disarmed, it will be displayed if the area belongs to the keypad group and to either the user arm
group or disarm group.
y If the area is armed, it will be displayed if the area belongs to the keypad group and the disarm group.
i
By default all keypads have access to all areas and the ability for a person to control an area is
processed by their arm/disarm groups assigned to their access level. By default if an area is assigned
to the disarm group of a user they will also have access to arm that area.
Regular Arming
Regular arming arms your area using a standard or regular arming process and will arm all zones within the
selected area. The selected area can only be armed if it is in the "disarmed" state and all zones are closed. To
arm the selected area, you must be able to access it, refer to the Area Security section (see page 16).
y Access the area status display screen as explained in section Area Status Display (see page 15). Using the
scroll keys [Ï Ð] select the area that you want to control.
*Area 001
is DISARMED
y From the Area Status Display screen, press the [ARM] key to regular arm the area. Pressing the [ARM] key
starts the exit delay, if programmed. It enables all the zones assigned to the area and checks that they are
ready to be armed. The area's status will then change showing each step in the regular arming process.
When the area is armed the area status will change to the ARMED state. If an exit delay is programmed the
area will enter the exit delay cycle. Refer to the Arming Failure section (see page 20) for messages during
the arming process or if the area cannot arm.
y Press the [DISARM] key at any time during the arming process to abort the arming process and return the
area to the DISARMED state.
y Press the Clear key to exit.

The area status display can be programmed to display only selected area's to certain users. The area
security control with the Protege allows specific groups of area's to be displayed to a user, refer to the
Area Security section (see page 16). Refer to the Access Levels Section (see page 39) for information
on how to set and program area groups in access levels.
