Integrated Access Control
The Controller provides a highly sophisticated access control solution with large user capacity and extensive
features:
 Utilize primary and secondary access levels to manage users over simple scheduled periods and time zones
 Assign Door groups, Menu groups, Area groups, Floor groups and Elevator groups to an access level for
flexible user management. Each group can optionally access a secondary group to provide multiple levels of
user access.
 System wide global anti-pass back, the Protege Controller can maintain and control users area status
throughout the entire system with hard and soft anti-pass back configuration options
 Multiple card presentation options allows the use of access control cards, tags or other credentials to arm
and disarm areas associated with doors
 Count users entering an area and arm the area when the count reaches a terminal number or deny access
to users based on a maximum user count
Automation Points
Automation points can be controlled from the Protege Alphanumeric LCD Keypad for the management of any
controllable device such as lighting, air conditioning and signage. Accessible directly from the keypad, the
automation points provide a user interface to the specific programmable outputs that a user can control.
Link automation points to programmable functions to provide sophisticated control logic at the selection of an
automation point. Text names can be defined for the automation points, allowing a scrollable list of controllable
items in the system such as Office A/C or Outside Lights.
Programmable Functions
Programmable Functions allow for the use of special applications that are configured in the Controller for Logic,
Area, Door, and many other controllable devices:
 Process logic functions to allow complex equations to be evaluated using the special internal memory
registers and PGM Output status
 Output of programmable functions can be directed to an action, memory region for storage and later use,
or a programmable output
 Applications to reduce installation time for the control and automation of garden lighting, external lighting
and electronic movement sensors with auto manual operation
 Control of Doors, Areas, Elevators and PGMs can be easily programmed and managed
 Starting and stopping of functions can be managed remotely including special run once options to allow
manual control of a function that is controlled by an operator
