PRT-ZX1 | Protege Single Input Expander | Installation Manual 3

Protege Single Input Expander
The Protege Single Input Expander extends the number of inputs on the system by 1, allowing monitoring of a
wide range of EOL capable or open contact sensors for security and building automation purposes.
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 input expander include:
⦁Secure encrypted RS-485 module communications
⦁1 input
⦁4 state input alarm using resistors to provide short, alarm, closed and tamper conditions
⦁Online and remote upgradable firmware

DC Power & Encrypted Module Network
The expander incorporates encrypted RS-485 communications technology, and both module and network power
are supplied by the N+ and N- terminals.

Connection of the communications and DC supply should be performed according to the diagram shown above. It
is important that the N+ network communications power be 12VDC supplied from an independent battery backed
power supply unit capable of supplying the required voltage to all devices on the RS-485 network.
Warning:
⦁The 12V N+ and N- communication input must be supplied from only one point. Connections from more
than one 12V supply may cause failure or damage to the unit or the device supplying network power.
⦁The 330 ohm EOL (End of Line) resistor provided in the accessory bag must be inserted between the NA
and NB terminals of the first and last modules on the RS-485 network. These are the modules physically
located at the ends of the RS-485 network cabling.

Input
The input expander can monitor the state of 1 input using EOL monitored or dry contact devices such as magnetic
switches and PIR motion detectors. The input may be individually configured for normally opened and normally
closed configurations with or without EOL resistors for tamper and short condition monitoring.
When using an input with the EOL resistor configuration, the controller generates an alarm condition when the
state of an input changes between open and closed and generates a tamper alarm condition when a wire fault
(short circuit) or a cut wire (tampered) in the line occurs.
When using the EOL resistor configuration, the EOL resistor option must be enabled in the input programming so
that the tamper and short states can be monitored. For more information, refer to your Protege programming
reference manual.

Each input can use a different input configuration. To program a large number of inputs with the same
configuration use the multiple selection feature within the Protege software.
When using the 'No Resistor' configuration the controller only monitors the opened and closed state of the
connected input device, generating the alarm (open) and restore (closed/sealed) conditions.

Address Configuration
The module address is configured viaprogramming and will requireknowledge of the module serial number. The
serial number can be found on theidentification sticker on the product.
Refer to the Protege system controller installation manual foraddress programming details.
The controller has a set limit on the number of modules of each type that it can support. When adding and
configuring modules always refer to the Maximum Module Addresses table in the controller installation manual.
