PRT-WX-DIN Using Protege WX Installation and Programming Manual | June 2013

Configuring Additional Areas

Areas allow for the Protege system to be divided up into separate sections (alarm areas or partitions) that will be

monitored for intrusion or other purposes.

There is one placeholder Area that is created by default which you can configure using the Security wizard to fit

your needs. If you require additional areas, you can either create these before running the wizard then use the

wizard to configure them, or create and configure them later.

Creating an Area

1. Navigate to Programming | Areas and click Add

2. Enter a Name for the area then select the Configuration tab to set the timings including entry and exit

delays:

 The Entry Time defines a delay period allowing any users that enter the area time to disarm it before the

area generates an alarm

 The Exit Time defines a delay period allowing users to exit the area once the arming of the area has

begun before an alarm is triggered.

 The Alarm 1 Time determines how long the bell/siren output for the area will remain activated before

timing out.

 If required, adjust the schedule and set the Disarm Area When Schedule Starts and Arm Area When

Schedule Ends options to automatically disarm/arm the area when the schedule starts/ends.

3. Select the Outputs tab to define the outputs used by the area and how they behave when triggered:

 The Bell Output determines the output that will be triggered when the area alarm is activated. In most

cases, this will be used to connect a siren.

The Exit Delay Output and Entry Delay Output are activated whenever the area starts the exit or entry

delay cycle. Using an audible output like a keypad beeper provides a distinctive warning to users to let

them know the area has begun arming and they need to get out, or that the entry delay period has been

triggered and they need to disarm the area before it generates an alarm.

 The Disarmed Output and Armed Output are activated whenever the area completes the disarming or

the arming cycle. Using an output such as a keypad LED provides a visual indication of the status of an

area.

 The Pulse On Time and Pulse Off Time allow you to configure the output to beep or flash when

triggered. For example, you may set a keypad beeper to make short beeps for an exit delay, and a long

continuous beep for entry delay.

4. Click Save to finish creating the area.
