Zone Inputs
The Protege PGM Expander has no physical zone input connections. The PGM expander monitors 8 trouble
zones used to report trouble conditions. A trouble zone is in most cases not physically connected with an input
in to the PGM Expander; rather it is related to a status condition within the system. For example a module
communication fault causes a trouble zone to open as a result of the communication failure.
3.1
Trouble Zone Inputs
Each PGM expander can monitor up to 8 trouble zones. Trouble zones are used to monitor the status of the
PGM expander and in most cases are not physically connected to an external zone input. For example, trouble
zone PX001:04 is used to monitor the auxiliary voltage output and will generate an alarm if the auxiliary fails.
The following table details the trouble zones that are configured in the system and the trouble type and group
that they activate.
