Timings
 Entry Time (seconds): Setting an entry delay time for the area allows users that have entered a secured
point to have time to disarm the area before the area generates an alarm. Only inputs that have an input
type assigned with an entry delay option set will start the entry delay timer for the area.
 Alternate Entry Time (seconds): Defines the entry delay time when using an alternate entry to the area. For
example, if an area can be accessed through a secondary entry point such as a garage door, you can allow
users more (or less) time to disarm the area before an alarm is generated.
 Exit Time (seconds): Setting an exit delay time for the area allows users to exit the area once the arming of
the area has begun without triggering an alarm. Inputs that are part of the exit route should be programmed
with the exit option in the assigned input type.
 Alarm 1 Time (minutes): The bell time determines how long the bell/siren output for the area will remain
activated before timing out. If the option to retrigger the bell time is set in the input type assigned to an input
that is triggered in the area the siren bell time is reloaded on each subsequent alarm activation. Use the
siren bell time and the retrigger bell option from the input type for smart automation of lighting and building
control.
 Rearm Area Time (minutes): Setting the rearm delay will result in the area automatically re-arming after the
re-arm timer has elapsed. This should be programmed for area's used to monitor and control system
functions that should not be disarmed. This is also used to control vault and automatic teller machines when
using the banking area functions to prevent an area from being disarmed for longer than the time
programmed.
 Recent Closing Time (seconds): The recent closing time defines how long the system considers an armed
area recently closed. If, after arming the area, an alarm is generated within the programmed period, the
Protege System Controller transmits a recent closed message. For this feature to operate correctly the input
must have its report options enabled in the assigned input type.
Schedule
 Arm/Disarm Schedule: Defines a schedule that enables the area to be armed and disarmed automatically.
 Disarm Area When Schedule Starts: When enabled, the area will automatically disarm when the
Arm/Disarm Schedule assigned above starts.
 Arm Area When Schedule Ends: When enabled, the area will automatically arm when the Arm/Disarm
Schedule assigned above ends.
Setup
 Child Area: The child area is an area dependent on another area (the parent area). For example, if an area is
armed, then its child area can also be automatically armed. If you select "None", the area will not have a
child area assigned. You can use this option to program a common area as there is no limit to the number
of areas containing the same child area. A common area is an area that is the child area of more than one
parent area. The common area can only be armed once all of its parent areas are armed.
 Maximum Bypass Input Count: The bypass count number sets the maximum number of inputs that can
be bypassed within the programmed area.
 Client Code: The client code for the area is the code that will be used to report alarms to the monitoring
station. If the client code is left at the default value of FFFF then the client code that will be used is the client
code assigned in the service that is being used to report the alarms.
 Reporting ID: The code by which this area will be reported to a monitoring station. Both ContactID and
ReportIP use this code.
Loiter
 Loiter Timer (minutes): The loiter time defines how long a user can remain in a specific loiter enabled area.
If the loiter time has elapsed and the user is still in the area, the user will be denied access when an attempt
is made to exit the area. If the user has not exited the loiter area before the loiter time has elapsed, then the
user status must be reset manually from the interface or local keypad. For this option to operate, the Loiter
Mode options must be turned on for the user and a loiter area must be programmed. Furthermore, the area
requires an entry and exit reader set with the anti-passback feature to control the user traffic.
 Loiter Reset Area: The loiter area violation setting is used when a user has violated the loiter configuration
for the installation and must be set to an area that they cannot exit or enter from. The setting here is typically
an area that is not used in the system and is defined as being an invalid area.
