AREA
Introduction
An installation may contain any number of areas or partitions depending on the configuration
and size of the system needed. Areas can contain zones and trouble zones that protect the
area. Zones can be assigned to as many as four areas and perform a different function in
each area individually of the other area's status.

Figure 9 - Area Programming Menu Overview
Any area may also contain no zones and be used to control lighting, car parking, user loiter
functions, automatic teller machines, banking and money trail control. The area processing is
a powerful solution and one of key features of the Protégé System.
To access the area programming menu, login using a valid installer code that is allowed area
menu access and then select [MENU, 4, 4]. The Areas menu enables you to set up and
program all the areas in your system. This includes setting entry and exit delays and special
options for each area.
Areas can only be programmed when they are disarmed and the 24hr (Tamper) processing
has been disabled, for information on controlling the area refer to the Area Control Section on
page 33. If the area is armed or the 24hr processing is enabled, you can only view the
screens, but not modify them.
Selecting an Area to Modify
Each area is assigned a unique area number from 001 to 250. Your system will be limited to
specific number of areas that are defined in the selected profile. For information on profiles
refer to the Advanced Programming Section on Page 265.
Select area to
modify: AR001
Type the appropriate 3-digit area number or use the [] and [] keys to scroll the available
area numbers. When the desired area number appears on the screen, press [ENTER] to
program the selected area number. The maximum number of areas that can be programmed
is limited by your system’s memory and configured profile.
Area Name
If the selected area has a name associated (some areas do not have a name associated with
them) the name programming screen will be shown.
