PRT-CTRL-SE Protege System Controller Reference Manual | PRT-CTRL-SE 65
Module Polling Time
The polling time defines how often the Reader Expander module checks in with the Protege System Controller.
If a Reader Expander fails to check in, it triggers its associated communication failure (RDxxx:16) 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 333) and press [ENTER]. By default the Reader Expander polling time is set to 250 seconds. Setting
a polling time below 60 seconds should only be done for Reader Expanders that are in a non-secure area.

For UL and ULC listed installations you MUST set the polling time to 180 seconds or less.
Reader Expander Module Options
Options that relate to the reader expander module can be set using option entry.
RD001 Module
[--------]
To modify options, use the keypad as explained in section Entering Data Options (see page 334).
Option 1 - High Current Charging
y Enabled the high current charging option will set 700mA charging in the power supply system of the reader
expander.
For reader expanders that do not have a power supply this option performs no function.
y Disabled the reader expander will set the standard 350mA charging in the power supply system.
Option 2 - Multiple Reader Connected to Port 1
y Enabled the reader will process the multiplexed reader inputs on Port 1 so that dual readers can be
connected for entry and exit processing. The duplex reader that is connected will always operate as the exit
reader.
y Disabled the reader port 1 interface will operate as a single reader input.
Option 3 - Multiple Reader Connected to Port 2
y Enabled the reader will process the multiplexed reader inputs on Port 2 so that dual readers can be
connected for entry and exit processing. The duplex reader that is connected will always operate as the exit
reader.
y Disabled the reader port 2 interface will operate as a single reader input.
Option 4 – Use Alternate Resistors
y Enabled the reader expander will use alternate EOL configured resistors (2K2 and 6K8).
y Disabled the reader expander will use the normal 1K and 1K resistor configuration.
Option 5 – Invert Module Tamper
y Enabled the reader expander will invert the module tamper input allowing a normally open (door closed)
tamper switch to be used.
y Disabled the reader expander will use the standard normally closed (door closed) tamper switch.
Option 6, 7 and 8 - Reserved
y Reserved do not modify
