Introduction
The Protege GX DIN Rail Integrated System Controller is the central processing unit responsible for the control
of security, access control and building automation in the Protege GX system. It communicates with all system
modules, stores all configuration and transaction information, processes all system communication, and reports
alarms and system activity to a monitoring station or remote computer.
Protege GX is an enterprise level integrated access control, intrusion detection and building automation
solution with a feature set that is easy to operate, simple to integrate and effortless to extend.
Flexible module network architecture allows large numbers of modules to be connected to the RS-485 module
network. Up to 250 modules can be connected to the Protege system in any combination to the network, over a
distance of up to 900M (3000ft). Further span can be achieved with the use of a network repeater module.
The current features of the controller include:
⦁Internal industry standard 10/100 ethernet
⦁32 Bit advanced RISC processor with 2Gb total memory
⦁Encrypted module network using RS-485 communication
⦁NIST Certified AES 128, 192 and 256 Bit Encryption
⦁Factory loaded HTTPScertificate
⦁OSDPconfigurable RS-485
⦁8 high security monitored inputs
⦁Built-in offsite communications dialer (ContactID or SIA)
⦁Industry standard DIN rail mounting

Grounding Requirements
An effectively grounded product is one that is intentionally connected to earth ground through a ground
connection or connections of sufficiently low impedance and having sufficient current-carrying capacity to
prevent elevated voltages which may result in undue hazard to connected equipment or to persons.
Grounding of the Protege system is done for three basic reasons:
1. Safety
2. Component protection
3. Noise reduction
Safety Grounding
The object of safety grounding is to ensure that all metalwork is at the same ground (or earth) potential.
Impedance between the Protege system and the building scheme ground must conform to the requirements of
national and local industrial safety regulations or electrical codes. These will vary based on country, type of
distribution system and other factors. The integrity of all ground connections should be checked periodically.
General safety dictates that all metal parts are connected to earth with separate copper wire or wires of the
appropriate gauge.
Earth Ground Connection
The DIN rail enclosure and the DIN rail modules must be grounded to a suitable single-point earth ground
connection in the installation. A minimum 14AWG solid copper wire (or thicker, in accordance with local
authorities) shall be used from the Protege system's earth connection points.
The DIN rail enclosure includes an earth ground single-point link connection via the metallic enclosure. This
single-point link is the Protege system's earth ground. All modules that have earth ground connections and that
are installed in the same enclosure shall be connected to this single point. A single-point earth ground
connection avoids the creation of ground loops in the system and provides a single reference point to earth
ground.

Mounting
Protege DIN rail modules are designed to mount on standard DIN rail either in dedicated DIN cabinets or on
generic DIN rail mounting strip.
When installing a DIN rail module, ensure that there is adequate clearance around all sides of the device and
that air flow to the vents of the unit is not restricted. It is recommended that you install the module in a location
that will facilitate easy access for wiring. It is also recommended that the module is installed in an electrical
room, communication equipment room, secure cabinet, or in an accessible area of the ceiling.
1. Position the DIN rail module with the labeling in the correct orientation.
2. Hook the mounting tabs (opposite the tab clip) under the edge of the DIN rail.
3. Push the DIN rail module against the mount until the tab clips over the rail.
Removal
A Protege DIN rail module can be removed from the DIN rail mount using the following steps:
1. Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the hole in the module tab clip.
2. Lever the tab outwards and rotate the unit off the DIN rail mount.
