The battery test procedure uses a special algorithm to prevent deep discharge and increase battery endurance.
A dynamic battery test is performed every ten minutes when AC power is present and a battery condition alarm
will be generated if the battery is either disconnected or shows poor capacity. Battery fault conditions will
activate the battery trouble zone associated with the address assigned to the Reader Expander.
If AC is not present the Protege Reader Expander will monitor the battery for a low voltage level and will activate
the battery trouble zone. The next dynamic battery test will occur 30 minutes after AC power has been restored.
This delay allows the battery to achieve optimal charging during the first 30 minutes when power is initially
restored to the unit. Once the first test is completed the dynamic battery testing will return to 10 minute
intervals.
When power is first applied to the Protege Reader Expander a dynamic battery test will be performed after 30
seconds, this allows the status and condition of the battery to be detected. On completion of this first test the
normal testing period of 10 minutes will be resumed.

Status Indicator
The status output will activate according to the status indicator on the Protege Reader Expander and can be
used to provide signalling or indication of the Reader Expander status outside the enclosure. The following
diagram shows the connection of an LED indicator to the status output.

Ethernet 10/100 Network Connection
The communication between the PRT-RDE2 and the Protege System Controller can be via a 10/100 Ethernet
network operating the encrypted UDP protocol suite. The IP address of the controller can be configured using
the LCD Keypad Terminal or web interface. The default IP address for the PRT-RDE2 is set to a static IP
address of 192.168.1.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and the default controller IP address the
PRT-RDE2 will try to communicate on is 192.168.1.2.

Installing the Protege Reader Expander on an active network requires knowledge of the configuration
and structure for the network. Always consult the network or system administrator and ask them to
provide you with a fixed IP address that can be assigned to the Protege Reader Expander.
