Level One: Protege GX Installer Study Guide | August 2013 265
24 Hour Tamper Area
Every Area in Protege is actually made up of two areas.
The main area that monitors devices (such as PIRs) only when it is armed
The 24 hour (or Tamper) area that monitors for a tamper or short condition on devices (such as PIRs) 24/7
Whenever a 24 hour area is disarmed, it will be displayed under the controller's Health Status.
The 24 hour tamper area is armed automatically when the main area is armed.
Testing the Office Area
Test the Area now by logging in with the Installer code of 000000, then pressing [Enter].
You should get a user greeting, then a display of the Office area status.
Office
isDISARMED
Note that the green disarmed LED has not turned on yet. This is because the Area Disarmed function is edge
triggered and hasn't been activated yet. The next time that the Area Disarmed function is triggered, the
Keypad Green LED will be turned on.
Arming the Office Area
Press the [Arm] key.
Once testing is complete, the Area should go into exit delay.
The exit delay function will now be triggered and any output(s) associated with it will be turned on or pulsed.
In our case, the keypad beeper should start making short beeps.
Note: Whenever a key is pressed on the keypad, the system grabs control of the beeper output so that a key
press results in a beep. This will take priority over anything else trying to turn the beeper output on. After
approximately 5 seconds the system will release control of the beeper output and anything trying to turn it on
will then be allowed control.
Disarming the Office Area
Once arming has finished, the exit delay function will stop, turning off any output(s) associated with it.
The display on the keypad will change and the red Armed LED should light up.
Office
isARMED
The Controller Health Status should also return to OK. This is because the 24hr portion of the Office Area is now
armed.
Note that the user remains logged in. This is because we are using the Installer menu group which allows the
user to stay logged in permanently.
Press the [Disarm] key and observe the red LED turn off and the green LED turn on.
Press [X] to log out.
