Trouble Zone Trouble Group
The high level of flexibility that is provided with the Protege System allows the definition of the trouble type and
group that is generated by a trouble zone. Troubles are grouped by a trouble group and then a trouble type
within the group. When the trouble zone generates an alarm it will also generate the appropriate trouble
condition that is configured. The trouble group and type are used to generate trouble conditions on the keypad
and to prevent an area from Arming based on the trouble condition. To view the trouble conditions that are on
the panel select the View Menu and select the Trouble View option (see page 267).
