When receiving the PRT-CTRL Protégé System Controller you should find the kit contains the
items listed below. The kit type is clearly labelled on the packaging. Please note that if you do
not have the correct contents contact your distributor immediately.
PRT-CTRL-PCB Protégé System Controller PCB Only
Contents: Controller Printed Circuit Board
PlasticMountingStandoffs
36 1K Ohm Resistors
Red/Black Backup Battery Wires
Location and Mounting
The Protégé System Controller is available as a PCB Only (Printed Circuit Board) or complete
unit supplied with a metal cabinet. It is recommended that the cabinet provided be used
where possible, as this provides the best mounting and installation solution as well as the
required cable entry and termination space.
When installing the Protégé System Controller ensure that there is adequate clearance around
all sides of the enclosure and air flow to the vents of the enclosure are not restricted.
It is recommended to install the Protégé System Controller in a location that will facilitate
easy access for wiring. It is also recommended that the Protégé System Controller is installed
in electrical rooms, communication equipment rooms, closets or in an accessible area of the
ceiling.
1. Insert the plastic stand-offs in to the locations to mount the PCB board.
2. Calculate the location and position of the enclosure and mark the holes for the keyhole
points in the top left and right locations. This will allow you to screw in the screws and
then hang the box on them adjusting the location to suit.
3. Ensure a solid fixing point and screw in the two screws. Before tightening the top
screws insert the tamper bracket in the slot provided on the right side of the
enclosure.
4. Fix the enclosure securely using the remaining mounting holes on the bottom left,
right and centre of the enclosure.
5. If you are extending the System Controller by the addition of a communications
module or memory interface insert the 4 extended nylon standoffs through the rear of
the controller PCB as shown in the interface board manual.
6. Insert the PCB in to the enclosure and mount using the plastic standoffs inserted
during step one.
It is recommended to install the enclosure when the circuit board is NOT installed
on the plastic stand-offs as this will reduce the risk of damage caused by debris
during the installation.
Cabinet Tamper Switch
The enclosure tamper input signals to the monitoring station or remote computer that an
enclosure has been opened. The tamper input switch should be mounted into the steel

8 Protégé System Controller Installation Manual
bracket provided and connected to the tamper connection terminals as shown in the diagram
below.
Figure 2 - Tamper Input
Earth Ground Connection
The controller has a connection for earth ground. For best results a cold water pipe should be
used with a pipe wiring clamp. If a cold water pipe is not available connect to a suitable
ground connection in the installation.
A minimum 14AWG solid copper wire should be used from the controller's earth connection
point to the clamp on the cold water pipe. If other earth clamps are present at the same
connection point connect the clamp below the existing units.
Figure 3 - Controller Main Earth Ground Connections
The telephone communication dialler contains a separate earth connection. Do not
loop the earth connection from the dialler to the earth of the controller. A separate
connection should be connected to the same earth point.
AC Power
The controller should be supplied by a dedicated electrical power source rated for a minimum
10Amp Load and have a dedicated circuit breaker. Do not use a switch controlled breaker or a
switched electrical point to supply electrical power. Connect the primary of a 16.5VAC,
50/60Hz, 40VA Transformer to the electrical circuit and run the secondary to the AC input on
the controller terminals.

9
Protégé System Controller Installation Manual
Figure 4 - AC Transformer 16VAC, 50/60Hz, 40VA MAX
Specific regional regulations may allow the transformer to be mounted inside the enclosure.
In this case wire the electrical circuit to the electrical termination point inside the enclosure
and the secondary wires of the transformer to the AC Input on the controller. The earth wire
should be routed to the terminal on the controller PCB when using an internal transformer.
Termination of wiring to the controller while power is applied or the battery is
connected may cause serious damage to the controller and will VOID ALL
WARRANTEES OR GUARANTEES. Power the unit ONLY after all wiring, configuration
and jumper settings are completed.
Backup Battery
It is recommended that a minimum of a 4Ah battery is used as the main backup battery.
From the accessory bag provided, connect the RED and BLACK battery termination wires to
the B+ and B- terminals. Connect the spade terminals to the battery as shown below.
Connection of the battery in reverse will not damage the System Controller but will cause the
battery fuse (5A Fast Blow) to blow and require replacement.
Figure 5 - Battery Connection
The battery test procedure uses a special algorithm to prevent deep discharge and increase
battery endurance. A dynamic battery test is performed every ten minutes (default0) when
AC power is present and a battery condition alarm will be generated if the battery is either
disconnected or shows poor capacity. Battery fault conditions will activate the battery trouble
zone.

10 Protégé System Controller Installation Manual
If AC is not present the Protégé System Controller will monitor the battery for a low voltage
level and will activate the battery trouble zone. The next dynamic battery test will occur 30
minutes after AC power has been restored. This delay allows the battery to achieve optimal
charging during the first 30 minutes that power has been restored to the unit. Once the first
test is completed the dynamic testing will return to the programmed value (default 10
minutes).
When power is first applied to the Protégé System Controller a dynamic battery test will be
performed after 30 seconds, this allows the status and condition of the battery to be
detected. On completion of this first test the default testing period of 10 minutes will be
resumed, this is a programmable setting in the system controller panel options. The test
period can be changed as required by setting the battery test time in the controller
configuration menu.
Battery Charge Current Setting
Battery charging can be controlled by the charging configuration option programmed in the
Panel Options menu (Default) or by the configuration of the battery charging jumper. To
configure the controller manually for the charge current, select the appropriate battery
current limit setting using the jumper as shown in the figures below.
Figure 6 - Battery Charge 350mA Setting
Figure 7 - Battery Charge 700mA Setting
Status Indicator
The status output will activate according to the status indicator on the Protégé System
Controller and can be used to provide signalling or indication of the system controller status
outside the enclosure. The following diagrams show the connection of an LED indicator to the
status output.

11
Protégé System Controller Installation Manual
Figure 8 - External Status LED Connection
Encrypted Module Network
The Protégé System Controller incorporates technically advanced encrypted RS-485
communications technology. The isolated communications interface offers full galvanic
isolation to prevent ground loop noise and cross phase ground differential. The
communication offers superior interference immunity.
Connection of the communications should be performed according to the following diagram. It
is important that the 12V Communications power be supplied from the controller or
controlling device or from an independent battery backed power supply unit.
Figure 9 - Standard Communications Connection
Always connect the controllers NA and NB terminals to the NA and NB terminals of the
expansion devices and keypads as shown. The N+ and N- must go to a 12V power supply
source as shown in the following diagram.

12 Protégé System Controller Installation Manual
Figure 10 - Network Power Supplied By System Controller
The EOL (End Of Line) jumper setting MUST be set in the ON position for the FIRST
and LAST expansion device only.
Figure 11 - EOL Jumper ON Figure 12 - EOL Jumper OFF
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
units supplying power.
The Network BIAS configuration jumpers allow the communication network to be biased using
a high or Low (Default) resistance.
Figure 13 - Network LOW resistance BIAS (Default) Configuration

13
Protégé System Controller Installation Manual
Figure 14 - Network HIGH resistance BIAS Configuration
Biasing the network with the controller in the LOW setting is the default
configuration. Only under special circumstances should the BIAS jumpers be
changed from Factory Default.
Telephone Dialler
The Protégé System Controller provides the ability to communicate alarms and
upload/download information with remote systems using the onboard 2400Bps modem. The
telephone lines can be connected directly to the Protégé System Controller using the onboard
telephone connection terminals.
The secondary telephone line terminals can be used as a backup telephone line. If the
Reporting Service fails and the Controller is unable to communicate with the central station
through the primary telephone line, the Protégé System Controller will switch to the second
line (if programmed) and repeat the communication process (refer to the Service
programming section in the Protégé System Reference Manual for settings that relate to
reporting and communication).
Figure 15 - Telephone Line Connection
It is recommended that the earth connection for the telephone and main power
supply (refer section Earth Ground Connection in Page 8) earth be run separately
and should be terminated on the cold water pipe or similar grounding point within
the installation.
The secondary telephone connection is optional and only required if the secondary
line option is enabled. For more information refer to the Protégé System Controller
Reference Manual.
Expansion Connector
The Protégé System Controller includes a 40 way expansion connector that is used to connect
serial communication, parallel, memory and special function interface devices. Connect the
interface card to the Protégé System Controller as shown in the following diagrams. For
configuration information refer to the Protégé Reference Manual and the Installation
Instructions provided with the interface device.

14 Protégé System Controller Installation Manual
Figure 16 - Expansion Connector and Mounting Hole Location
When installing the daughter board ensure that the plastic mounting hardware provided is
correctly inserted from the rear of the system controller PCB. Pay attention to the key location
of the 40 Way Connector.
Figure 17 - Connection and Mounting
Power to the system controller MUST be turned off when connecting any hardware
or system device to the system controller. Failure to do so may damage the system
controller and expansion device.
Ethernet 10/100 Network Interface
The communication between the Protégé SMGT System Management Suite and the Protégé
System Controller uses a 10/100 ethernet network operating the TCP/IP protocol suite. The IP
address of the controller can be configured using the LCD Keypad Terminal. The default IP
address is set to a static IP address of 192.168.1.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
These IP address settings are commonly used for internal networks.
Installing the Protégé System Controller on an active network requires knowledge
of the configuration and structure for the network. Always consult the network or
system administrator and ask them to provide you with a fixed IP address that can
be assigned to the Protégé System Controller.
When installing an ethernet connection the Protégé System controller should be interfaced
using a standard segment (<100M in length) and should be connected to a suitable ethernet
hub or switch.

16 Protégé System Controller Installation Manual
ZONE INPUTS
Introduction
The Protégé System Controller has 16 Zone Inputs. The controller also monitors 64 trouble
zones used to report trouble conditions. A trouble zone represents a trouble condition within
the system. The trouble zone will open or go in to alarm when that trouble condition is
present, and close or return to normal when the trouble condition restores. As an example
trouble zone CP001:01 will open or go in to alarm when the tamper input on the system
controller is open.
The Protégé System Controller can monitor and control thousands of zone and trouble zone
inputs by using the expansion modules.
Zone Inputs
The Protégé System Controller can monitor the state of up to 16 zone inputs such as
magnetic contacts, motion detectors and temperature sensors. Devices connected to these
zones can be installed to a maximum distance of 300m (1000ft) from the Controller when
using 22 AWG. The Controller supports normally opened and normally closed configurations
with or without EOL resistors as explained below.
Zones can be programmed from the Protégé LCD Keypad (PRT-KLCD) or using the Protégé
System Management Suite (PRT-SMGT). CP001:01 to CP001:16 represent Zone 1 to Zone 16
on the Protégé System Controller.
When using a zone with the EOL resistor configuration, the controller generates an alarm
condition when the state of a zone is toggled and generates a tamper alarm condition when a
wire fault (short circuit) or a cut (tampered) in the line occurs.
When using the EOL resistor configuration, the EOL resistor option must be turned on for the
zone(s) so that the tamper and shorted states can be monitored (refer to Zones Section in
the Protégé Reference Manual).
Zones default to require the EOL resistor configuration.
Figure 20 - EOL Resistor Zone Configuration

17
Protégé System Controller Installation Manual
Each zone input can use a different input configuration. To program a large number of zones
with a certain configuration use the Multiple Selection feature in the Protégé System
Management Suite application.
When using the No Resistor configuration, the Controller only monitors the opened and closed
state of the connected input device generating the alarm and seal conditions.
Figure 21 - No EOL Resistor Zone Configuration
Trouble Zone Inputs
Each Controller can monitor up to 64 local trouble zones. Trouble zones are used to monitor
the status of the Controller and in most cases not physically connected to an external zone.
For example, trouble zone CP001:03 is used to monitor the Controller’s backup battery
voltage and warn the Controller that the battery is disconnected or voltage is too low. This
can then be used to report a message to a monitoring station, remote computer, keypad or
siren.
The following table details the trouble zones that are configured in the system controller. The
trouble type and group define the trouble that is generated by the trouble zone when it is
activated.
