5.5 Programming the Onboard Reader
The onboard reader is programmed in exactly the same way as any other reader module is. It can
be though of as if it were a normal reader expander module on a separate circuit board. By default
the onboard reader is registered as the last reader in the defined profile (which is Reader Expander
008 in the Standard Profile). Consequently any reader expander module that is connected with the
same address as this will be treated as a duplicate and will fail to register. To change the address at
which the onboard reader is registered, or to disable it please refer to the Protégé® SE Integrated
System Controller Programming Guide.
The onboard reader uses zone inputs 9-12 and 13-16 as it’s door contact, REX, bond sense and REN
inputs respectively. Any of these inputs that are not configured for use with the Onboard Reader
may be used as general purpose zone inputs. The default settings are shown in the following table:
To enable or disable the onboard reader inputs use the reader expander properties box in the
Protégé® Software as shown below.
