Standard 16 PGM Output Expander 

 

 

PRT-PXS16 

Installation Manual 

 

1.0 Introduction 

 
The Protégé System is an advanced technology security 
system specifically designed to enhance the functionality 
of security, building automation and access control by 
providing a complete integrated solution with local 
monitoring and offsite communication. 

 

The Standard 16 PGM Output Expander allows the 
expansion of the protégé system by 16 open collector 
transistor outputs. 
 

2.0 Configuration 

 
The Standard 16 PGM Output Expander must be 
configured with an address before it will communicate with 
the Protégé System.  

 

Device Address 
The switch positions 1 to 7 select the device address from 
1 to 128. When setting an address the Standard 16 PGM 
Output Expander must be powered down and restarted for 
the new address to take affect.  
 
When changing the address the Standard 16 PGM Output 
Expander will automatically default the internal 
configuration and require a network update. See the 

Protégé System reference manual for information on 
performing a module update.

The configuration switch image on the right 
shows the address setting for device address 
008. The configuration switch on the left 
shows address 001 (Default). 

 

3.0 Communication 

 
Support for up to 128 PGM expanders per system 
controller is provided. The Protégé System uses a high 
speed encrypted RS-485 communication interface.

4.0 End Of Line Termination (EOL) 

 
The end of line (EOL) jumper should be ON when the 
Standard 16 PGM Output Expander is located at the start 
or end of the module network.

5.0 Zone Input 

 
The Standard 16 PGM Output Expander does not have any 
provision for interfacing to zone input devices. For 
expansion of zone inputs in the Protégé System refer to 
the PRT-ZXS16 and PRT-ZX16 installation manuals. 

 

6.0 Programmable Output 

 
A PGM is a programmable output that can be activated 
and deactivated based on specific events or functions 
within the Protégé System. The primary function of the 
Standard 16 PGM Output Expander is to activate any one 
of the 16 onboard PGM outputs.
