DOOR CONTACT CONNECTION 

 
The Protégé Reader Expander allows the connection of 
up to 4 contacts for monitoring and controlling access 
control doors. Each zone on the reader expander can be 
used for the door function that is automatically assigned 
and as a normal zone input on the system. The following 
example shows the connection of a normally closed door 
position monitoring contact to monitor the open, closed, 
forced and alarm conditions of the door. 
 

 

 
DOOR LOCK CONNECTION 

 
The Protégé Reader expander provides a connection for 2 
electric strike locks with full monitoring of the lock circuit 
for tamper and over current/fuse blown conditions. The 
door lock monitoring can be disabled if it is not required. 
  

 

ZONE INPUT 

 
The Protégé Mini Reader Expander can monitor the state of 
up to 6 zone inputs such as magnetic contacts, motion 
detectors and temperature sensors.  The Controller 
supports normally opened and normally closed 
configurations with or without EOL resistors on a per zone 
configuration setting, the diagram below shows how to wire 
a zone with EOL resistors enabled.
