368 Module 137: System Commissioning | Keypad Testing
Keypad Testing
Protege GX is a server based system, and as such, very little programming can be carried out at the keypad.
Essentially, the Controller's IP settings are the only things that can be programmed at the keypad. The keypad is
still however, a valuable tool when carrying out commissioning on site.
We are going to look more in depth at the Events Menu (3) and Installer Menu (4).

reached.
Pressing the key at this point takes you back to the last event that you viewed.
Pressing the key will then show any new events that have occurred.
The maximum text length of an event is 64 characters, but as the keypad can only display 16 characters per
line, events may be split over 4 lines. By default, lines one and two are displayed on the keypad.
Press the key to display lines 2 and 3.
Press the key again to scroll to lines 3 and 4.
Moving up and down through the events will continue to display the same lines, so if you are currently
viewing lines 2 and 3 of an event and press the
key, lines 2 and 3 of the next event are displayed.
Use the key to move back up through the lines being displayed.

Controller and doesn't relate to the server database.
