OBJECT NOTATION
Introduction
When selecting an address for a module or a object (Zone, Trouble Zone or PGM) on a
module the address is entered using the Module Type, Module Address and optionally the
number of the object, this is called the Protégé Object Notation.
This notation allows fast and efficient access to any programmable or controllable object
within the Protégé System.
Notation Structure
Protégé Object Notation always begins with the module type or system type defined by 2
letters and then followed by an address (3 digits) this is a requirement and is called the
Unique Address and is optionally followed by a 2 digit number that selects the object within
the unique address such as a Zone or PGM which is separated by a colon.
ZX003:08
The above example refers to ZX (Zone Expansion Module) device address 003 and object 08.
This could be PGM (programmable output) 8 or Zone 8 or Trouble Zone 8 depending on the
location that has been selected from keypad menu.
SC001
The example refers to SC (schedule) record address 001.
Module Object Type
The following list shows the module types. All module types have a two letter definition that is
used to identify them in the system.

There are a number of products that utilise the same module object type. For example the
PRT-RDM2 Mini Reader Expander still uses the module type RD as does the PRT-RDI2 and
PRT-RDE2 however the hardware functionality is different when installed and the registered
module type is displayed by pressing the [ARM] key at the expander selection screen.
