Configuration Switch
The addressing of the Protege PGM Expander allows up to 128 devices to be connected to the Protege System
Controller. The 'CONFIG' configuration DIP switch allows each PGM Expander to have a unique address.
6.1
Address Configuration
The switch positions 1 to 7 select the device address from 1 to 128. When setting an address, the PGM
expander must be powered down (Battery and AC) and restarted for the new address to take effect. When
changing the address, the PGM Expander will automatically default the internal configuration and require a
network update. See the Protege System reference manual for information on performing a module update.

Elevator Mode CONFIG Switch Functions
If switch positions 5, 6, 7 and 8 are turned on and the 16 Output PGM Expander is restarted the PGM
Expander will operate as an Elevator Floor Controller and will be able to be connected to a PRT-RDI2
or PRT-RDE2 Slave Communication Port. Refer to Elevator Floor Address Configuration (see page 22).
The device address is determined by adding the value of each switch that is selected in the ON position and
then adding 1 to this value. In the example below the address 024 can be calculated using the following formula
(16+4+2+1) + 1 = 024. Setting all address switches to OFF results in the default address of 001.
