Installation Recommendations Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
System Installation and Wiring

The installation and wiring must be performed by a competent engineer. For permanently connected equip-
ment, a readily accessible disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring. The Galaxy Dimension
control panel must be connected to the a.c. mains supply (230/240 Va.c. 50 Hz) via a fused connection outlet
in accordance with EN60950-1: 2001
The fuse in the mains outlet must not exceed 3A.
WARNING: A means of isolation from the mains supply must be provided within 2 metres of
the control panel. Where live and neutral supplies can be identified, a fused spur
with a 3 amp fuse, must be fitted on the live circuit. Where live and neutral circuits
cannot be reliably identified, 3 amp fuses must be fitted to both circuits.
Route the mains cable through the hole on the right hand side of the enclosure base. Securely anchor the
cable to the box using the tie-wrap as shown in the following Figure:

Attaching hole Attaching hole
Figure 2-4. Securing the Mains Cable to the Enclosure Base

Secure the panel base to the wall using three 1.5" No. 8 round head steel screws through the holes provided.
The mains cable used must be a three core type (with green/yellow earth insulation) of adequate current
carrying capacity.
Connect the mains cable to the mains terminal block as follows:
• blue wire to the terminal marked N (Neutral)
• green/yellow wire to the terminal marked (Earth)
• brown wire to the terminal marked L (Live)
NOTE: No other connections to the mains connector are permitted.
All wiring must be in accordance with local regulations and the installation must conform to EN60950.

NOTES: 1. Terminals 1 and 2 on the Master Socket must be hard-wired to LINE A and B
terminals on the Galaxy Dimension PCB. The connection is polarity independent.
2. It is strongly recommended that the Galaxy Dimension panel is the only device on the line.
3. If another device is to be connected to the line, connect the PHONE terminals on the PCB
to terminals 1 and 2 on a Secondary socket.
There are two methods of connecting the on-board Telecom Module to the PSTN:
Method 1
Using cable suitable for connection to 2.8 mm diameter screw terminals, strip back approximately 20 mm of
the outer sheath and then remove approximately 4 mm of the insulation from the wires to be connected to the
Galaxy Dimension PCB.
Connect terminals 1 and 2 on the Master socket across the LINE A and B terminals on the Galaxy Dimension
PCB, see Figure 2-5.
Method 2
Use a standard cable with RJ11 plug on one end and plug into the telecom socket on the Galaxy Dimension
PCB. Connect the other end of the cable to the Master socket as described in Method 1.
NOTE: Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) should not be used. If it is used, connect a suitable filter to the phone
line.

Memory Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Memory
The Galaxy Dimension control panel is fitted with a memory chip with its own battery backup on the main
PCB. This allows the panel to retain the system configuration, programming details and the event log for up to
a year when both the mains power and standby battery have been disconnected. The memory backup battery
must be kept in place to retain the memory during a mains failure. Re-apply power, this is known as a warm
start.
To completely erase the system memory and return to the default settings, place a piece of thin card between
the retaining clip and the memory backup battery then remove all power to the PCB for one minute. Re-apply
power and remove the card. This is known as a cold start.
The memory backup battery shoud be replaced every 5 years.
CAUTION: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
CAUTION: Do not overstress the retaining clip when removing and installing the backup
battery. The clip must maintain a firm pressure on the backup battery at all times.
RS485 Data Communication Bus (AB Lines)

Communication between the Galaxy control panels and the modules attached to the system takes place on the
AB lines. The communication protocol is RS 485 format. The control panel constantly monitors the modules
attached to it. A break in the communication from any of the modules generates a module tamper alarm
RS485 Wiring Configurations

The system must be wired in a daisy-chain configuration. That is the A line from the previous module is
connected to the A terminal of the current module and then on to the A line of the next module.
The RS485 (AB) line must have a 680 Ω resistor fitted across the A and B terminals of the last module on the
line. If two lines are connected, both ends must be terminated with 680 Ω resistors and the appropriate link
(LK3 or LK5) removed.

RIO Switch Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Zone Addressing with Onboard RIO Switch (Line 0 Switch)

The RIO switch (SW3, dipswitch 8) controls the ordering of the on-board RIO’s. This dipswitch must be set
before powering up the panel. Setting the switch to ON sets the on-board RIO1 to operate on line 0 and
allows a RIO addressed as 1 to be connected to line 1, giving a total of 15 RIO’s on a GD-264 and
GD-520. The RIO switch only needs to be activated when the full compliment of RIO’s is required, or when
replacing a Galaxy 512 panel with a power supply/RIO already using address 1.
NOTE: The RIO switch is not functional on other variants. It defaults to the Switch off configuration.
Switch off (default)

When the switch is set to this mode, the onboard RIO’s configure to the following addresses:

Wiring Keyswitches
Latching or spring loaded keyswitches can be used to set and unset the Galaxy Dimension panels; option
52 = PROGRAM ZONES has provision to accommodate both types of transition.
If the keyswitch latches, the transition from 1 kΩ to 2 kΩ initiates the setting procedure of an unset system,
the transition from 2 kΩ to 1 kΩ instantly unsets a set system. If the system is already set, then the transition
from 1 kΩ to 2 kΩ has no effect. If the system is unset, the transition from 2 kΩ to 1 kΩ has no effect. This
is programmed as a Keyswitch in the PROGRAM ZONES option.
If the keyswitch is spring-loaded (returns to its normal position), the transition from 1 kΩ to 2 kΩ initiates the
setting procedure of an unset system and instantly unsets a set system, the transition from 2 kΩ to 1 kΩ - the
return to the normal position - has no effect. This is programmed as a Keyswitch in the PROGRAM
ZONES option.

Terminator Zone Wiring Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Wiring Terminator Buttons

Zones programmed as Push-Set (terminator) buttons can be open going closed (2 kΩ to 1 kΩ) or closed
going open (1 kΩ to 2 kΩ). The first activation of the terminator button initialises its status to the system.
NOTE: The first activation of a terminator may not set the system as this can be the initialisation routine. If
the system continues setting, push the button again. The system will set on the second push. This
initialisation only occurs on the first setting. All subsequent setting routines set on the first push of the
terminator.

RIO Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Connecting the RIO

The RIO can only be connected to the system while engineer mode is accessed. The RS485 (AB) line of the
Galaxy RIO must be wired in parallel (daisy-chain configuration) with the RS485 (AB) line of any keypads
connected to the system. The RIO requires 12 Vd.c. (range 10.5 to 16.0 V) and 40 mA. This can be sup-
plied from the control panel power supply or from a remote power supply if the distance causes a large
voltage drop on the cable.
NOTE: A Power RIO can be fitted in place of a RIO.
Connect the RIO terminals as follows:

+12 V (either control panel, keypad or remote power supply);
–0 V or ground (either control panel, keypad or remote power supply);
A to the A terminal of the previous module (or control panel if RIO is the first on the line);
B to the B terminal of the previous module (or control panel if RIO is the first on the line).
NOTE: If the RIO is the last module on the line, connect a 680 Ω EOL resistor across the A and B termi-
nals.
Configuring the RIO

The added RIO is configured into the system on exiting from engineer mode. If the message XX Mod Added
[<],[>] To View is displayed, the system has recognised that a new module is present. Press the A or B keys
to confirm that the RIO has been added. If this message is not displayed or the RIO is not on the list of added
modules, then the RIO is not communicating with the control panel or has been set to the same address as the
RIO already connected to the system.
The flash rate of the red LED (LED1) on the RIO indicates the status of the communication with the control
panel - refer to the following Table:
Flash Rate Meaning
0.1 ON / 0.9 OFF Normal communications
OFF No d.c. supply
1.5 ON / 1.5 OFF RIO has not been configured into system
0.2 ON / 0.2 OFF RIO has lost communication with system
0.9 ON / 0.1 OFF Very poor communications

Connecting the RF RIO

The RS 485 (AB) line of the RF RIO must be wired in parallel (daisy chain configuration) with the RS 485
(AB) line of the keypad connected to it. The RF RIO requires 12 V d.c. (range 10.5 to 16.0 V) and 55 mA.
This can be supplied from the control panel power supply or from a remote power supply if the distance
causes a large voltage drop on the cable.

Table 3-5. RF RIO Connections

Note: If the RF RIO is the last Module on the line, connect a 680 Ω resistor across the A and B terminals.
Outputs
The RF RIO has four transistorised outputs. Each output is connected to +12 V via a 3k3Ω pull-up resistor
(refer to Table 3-6 RF RIO Connections). When an output is activated, the load is switched to the negative
supply voltage (ground or 0 V) of the RF RIO. Each output is capable of supplying 400 mA.
The default functions and pull-up resistors of each RF RIO output, when connected to a Galaxy are shown in
the following Table:

Function
1 Bells R43
2 Strobe R37
3 PA R33
4 Reset R23
Table 3-6. Output Functions

NOTE: The number of pull-up resistors may vary with different hardware revisions.
RF RIO Tamper
Switch SW2 on the RF RIO acts as a tamper if the Tamper Link (LK1) is missing. Removing the lid from the
RF RIO enclosure activates the RF RIO tamper alarm if the system is not in Engineer Mode. The tamper
switch can be bypassed by fitting a 0 Ω link to LK1.
Addressing the RF RIO

The Galaxy RF RIO must be given unique addresses before it is connected to a power supply. This unique
address is selected using the 16-way Rotary Address Switch (SW1). The address selected will act as the
base address for the RF RIO. Subsequent addresses will be
base address + 1, base address + 2, base address + 3. For example:
Base address = 2 followed by 3, 4 and 5.
3-5
RF RIO (cont’d) Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Address Ranges
This option allows the programming of the RIO addresses, which are to be simulated by the RF RIO.
For example, if the RF RIO being programmed supports 32 zones (4 RIO addresses), and the base address,
programmed at the hexi-decimal rotary switch is 02, the available addresses would be 02, 03, 04, 05. How-
ever, you may want to only respond as RIO addresses 02, 04. The remaining addresses should be disabled
and will not respond to commands from the control panel. The base address is enabled by default. All other
addresses are disabled by default.
Module status on the RF RIO such as lid tamper,will be reported to the panel using the address set on the
rotary switch.
RF RIO Programming
Programming of the RF RIO is achieved by connecting a Galaxy Mk7 keypad directly to the RF RIO at the
Programming Keypad Socket or the Keypad Connector Block. The Keypad is not part of the Galaxy net-
work and must be addressed as 0.
Note: To program RF devices, please refer to RF RIO Module, Installation and Programming
Instructions, (II1-0076) supplied with the RF RIO.
Configuring the RF RIO

The RF RIO is configured into the system in the same way as a standard RIO. Refer to standard RIO instruc-
tions for further details.

Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual Audio Control
Galaxy Dimension and 2-Way Audio

Introduction
The Galaxy Dimension allows multiple audio channels to be linked to the intruder system in order to provide
audio verification following an alarm activation. This will allow sound from the area of the alarm activation to
be transmitted to the Alarm Receiving Centre with the alarm signal. This can be recorded audio captured at
the time of the activation as well as live audio. Depending on the set-up, it may be possible for the operator at
the receiving centre to talk back to the site. An Audio Interface Module is required to enable audio on the
Galaxy. This allows up to two audio channels to be connected. If further channels are required, the audio
system can be expanded using the MUX modules. Each alarm group on the Galaxy can have one audio
channel assigned to it.
Audio Interface Module

The Audio Interface Module is connected to the Galaxy RS485 line to allow the panel to control the audio
function and connected to the PSTN line to allow it to transmit the audio signals to the Alarm Receiving Cen-
tre.
For expansion using MUX modules, the Audio Interface Module has connections for a high speed digital
audio bus in order to connect the MUX modules. Up to three speaker-mic devices, such as the TP800, can
be connected to each audio channel.
The Audio Interface Module acts as the master to a dedicated Audio RS485 line on to which 8 off-board
Mux Modules can be connected.

Audio Control (cont’d) Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Using the Audio
Programming Set up
The Audio channels must be mapped to alarm groups using menu 56.7. This allows the Galaxy panel to know
which audio channel to send to the alarm receiving centre following an alarm activation. In this menu, its also
possible to specify which type of alarm events will result in listen-in operation.
In Use
The audio system continuously records the audio from all channels in a 10 second loop. When an alarm
activation occurs, the audio form the specified channel stops recording and the audio from the time of the
alarm is saved, including a few seconds from before the activation of the detector. The panel will dial the
Alarm Receiving Centre normally and transmit the alarm message and then stay on the line to allow the opera-
tor to listen to the audio. The Galaxy system will automatically select the specific channel to be transmitted and
play the live audio initially. The operator has three control options using a DTMF telephone keypad;
1: Talk to site
2: Listen to recorded audio from the activated channel
3: Listen to live audio from the activated channel

Wiring the Keypad/KeyProx

A 16-way rotary address switch is used to address Galaxy LCD keypads. The address switch assigns a
hexadecimal address value to the keypad.
NOTE: Any change to the keypad address must be made when the power is disconnected from the
keypad.
Addressing
Addresses are set by means of a rotary switch on the PCB. Each keypad must be assigned a unique address
for its line.
It is possible to add additional keypads at any unused comms module addresses (B, C, D and E) as detailed
in the following NOTE. These must be standard keypads. An engineer keypad can also be used at address F.
NOTE: On Line 1, keypad addresses B, C, D and E are not available if the Ethernet,
ISDN, RS232 or Telecom modules respectively are fitted.
Keypad/KeyProx Installation Procedure

1. To attach the keypad to the wall, the back plate must first be removed from the front plate. To do this,
insert a suitable tool into both openings at the bottom of the keypad and turn the tool gently.
CAUTION: When the keypad is separated make sure that the anti-static precautions are taken
with the keypad pcb to avoid damage from esd (electro static discharge).
Connections to the terminals are:

2. Use the backplate as a template, then mark the locations for the three attachment screws in the
required position.
3. If it is a new installation, use the keyhole slot at the top of the backplate and the two elongated
holes at the bottom. If replacing an existing Mk3 keypad with a Mk7 keypad, use the keyhole
slot at the top of the backplate and the two knockout holes at the bottom. This means that you
can use the existing holes in the wall, whist keeping the backplate in the same position.
4. If you are using a wall-run cable for the keypad (A, B, +12V, 0V) position the cable behind the
back plate in the cable channels provided. The cable can be run in from either the top or the
bottom of the back plate. Use a sharp tool to remove the plastic from the top or the bottom of the
cable guides on the back plate skirting.
CAUTION: Use of any screws other than No. 6 Pan-head can damage the keypad
mouldings.
5. Make sure that the keypad wiring is fed through the large opening on the keypad backplate, then
position the keypad base on the wall and attach it securely with the three No. 6 Pan-head screws.

Keyprox Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
The Galaxy KeyProx

General
The KeyProx is a standard Mk7 keypad with a proximity card reader built in to the lower right corner. This
allows users to set and unset the system, using proximity cards, rather than a pin.
NOTE: The keyProx is not intended for use as a door control unit. Installation and wiring of the KeyProx is
identical to the Mk7 keypad.
Addressing
Both the KeyProx and reader share a common address, set by the rotary address switch.
An address must be chosen which will be valid for both the keypad and MAX.
Please note that in order for the reader to operate, MAX mode must be enabled in the panel programming,
(option 63.2.1 = Options.MAX.MAX Mode). The MAX addressing function in option 63.2.2 = MAX
Address, is not required for keyprox units.
Operation
The operation of the KeyProx is identical to the Mk7 keypad. The proximity reader is seen by the panel as an
on-line MAX reader. It is programmed in exactly the same way with the exception that it does not require to
be addressed (this being set already by the rotary switch).
Card Types
The KeyProx can read standard ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) type cards up to 34 bit. A self learn feature is
incorporared into the KeyProx to aid in card programming.
For further details on how to set up user cards, to set and unset the system, refer to Option 42 - Codes.

Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual Access Control
SECTION 5: ACCESS CONTROL

Door Control Modules (DCMs) can be added onto the Galaxy bus lines to add fully integrated access con-
trol. Each DCM allows two Wiegand readers to be connected to control two separate doors; each door with
an exit button or one door with an entry and exit reader..
Group Based Access Control

Access control works best when Group Mode is enabled. Each access reader can then be programmed to
control access to a particular group (or area/subsystem) within the building. Only users who have access
privileges to that group will be granted access via that reader.
User and Access Templates

Every user on the system must be allocated an access template. An access template is a list of groups and
time schedules that will dictate which groups a user is able to gain access to and also the times that the user
can gain access. This method means that if there are multiple doors leading into one group or area, then a user
will be given access to all those doors in one move. This reduces programming time and complexity.
The Access Template to be used for each user is chosen within each user’s options in menu
42.1.11.= Template. There are multiple access templates available (dependant on panel variant) and each
one is fully customisable.
Access Templates are programmed in menu 45.7 = Access Templates. In each Access Template each
group on the system must be allocated a time schedule as required. If no schedule is allocated to a particular
group (default) in the list then users will have full access through any doors leading to that group. When a
schedule is allocated, access will be granted during the OFF periods of the schedule and denied during the
ON periods. Time schedules are programmed in menu 65 = Timers .
Time Schedules
A Time schedule is a weekly list of on and off times and can be used to control the security of any object that
it is assigned to. When a timer is ON it forces a secure state (system set, access denied etc). When a timer is
in the OFF state, it causes an un-secure state (system unset or access allowed etc). Up to 28 on or off times
can be programmed into each weekly schedule. Up to 67 schedules are available dependant on panel variant.
For each time schedule, it is possible to allocate one of 32 Holiday Calendars. A Holiday Calendar is a list of
20 holiday periods, each with a start and end date, which suspend normal timer operation. During a holiday
period, one of two things can happen.
1. The timer is frozen in its current state (on or off) and will resume operation from the next event when the
holiday period finishes.
2. An alternate time schedule can be appointed to be used for the duration of the holiday period.

MAX3
The MAX3 is a proximity reader access control device for a single door, which can also be used for setting
and unsetting of your alarm control panel. The MAX3 can be configured in one of two ways:
Standalone
In this configuration the MAX3 can be used for either door control or alarm system set/unset control, by either
connecting the internal relay output to a door lock or external relay. When in standalone mode the MAX3 is
programmed and operated using the MAX3 proximity cards or tags.The proximity cards and tags each have
unique ID numbers and must be identified to the MAX3 before being used to operate the system. The MAX3
memory can store up to 999 ID numbers, including at least three reserved for Masters. Once programmed,
the ID number of the tags and cards are stored indefinitely in the MAX3 memory until voided (removed) or
erased. Removing power from the MAX3 does not erase the programming memory.
Note : The MAX3 defaults to standalone mode. It can be configured to on-line mode directly from the
Galaxy Dimension control panels.
On-line
The MAX3 can operate in on-line mode, with the Galaxy Dimension control panel range, as a completely
integrated module on the system. In this configuration the MAX3 can be used for both door control and alarm
system set/unset control with complete user traceability stored within the Galaxy control panel.
For detailed instructions on how to programme the MAX3 onto the system in on-line mode refer to Option
69.2=MAX.

PARAMETERS.On-Line Level and enter 2 to print out all system events including the MAX3 events or 3
to print out only the MAX3 events.
NOTE: A serial printer must be connected to line one of the Galaxy panel and the printer must remain on-line
(ready to print) at all times.
Downloading the MAX3/ DCM Log

The MAX3/DCM event log can be downloaded to Remote Servicing by using the MAX/DCM Log copy
option in Remote Servicing.

Dual Access Cards

If a user’s card number is assigned a *, then the card becomes Dual access. This means that it will not open
the door on its own; it needs another PIN or card as well. (see option 42 = Codes for programming).
Dual Focus (Card Held)

If a card has a # assigned to the number, then any card-held function will only work in conjunction with the
PIN from the same user, provided that the PIN has a # assigned also. The Dual Focus function will work in
either order, but if the card is presented first, it will simply enable the PIN to gain access to the normal menu
(see option 42 = Codes for programming).
Timed Anti-Passback
When the Timed Anti-Passback feature is enabled, it will prevent more than one use of any particular card at a
particular reader within a given time period. See option
69.2.2.6 = Access Control.MAX.Max Parameters.Anti-Passback for programming details.
A forgiveness function is available to clear all or particular antipassback restrictions in force. There are set
Anti-Passback users as defined in the following Table. If a card belonging to one of these users is swiped at a
reader, all anti-passback restriction at that reader are cleared. A manager code can authorise a forgive function
on a particular user in option 42.1 = Codes.User Codes. An engineer code can authorise a forgive function
on a particular reader in option 69.2.2.6.3 = Access Control.MAX.Max Parameters.Anti-
Passback.Forgive.

Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual Menu options
SECTION 6: SYSTEM OPERATION

Menu Options
General
The Galaxy Dimension provides various menu options for modifying the functional performance of the system.
There are two menu structures:
1. Full Menu — only accessed by authorized users including the master manager code and by the
engineer.
2. Quick Menu — a selection of options from the full menu. The quick menu is the default menu
access for all user codes (type 2.3 and above), except master manager and engineer.
The Full Menu

The full menu has a hierarchy of 5 structures contained within it. Each structure is accessible by an increased
type of user code.
The Quick Menu

The quick menu offers type 2.3 and above users a selection of up to 10 options, numbered 0 – 9. The options
available from the quick menu can be modified to the user’s requirement via option 59 = QUICK MENU.
Quick Menu Full Menu
User (Type 2.3) User (Type 2.4) User (Type 2.5) Manager (Type 3.6) Engineer (Type 3.7) Engineer (Type 3.7) Engineer (Type 3.7)

9 = Summer 19 = All Set 59 = Quick Menu 69 = Access Control
Table 6-1. Quick and Full Menu Options Reference
Menu Access
Only valid codes (type 2.3 and above) can access the menu options. Access to the user options is assigned
by the engineer (refer to options 42 = CODES and 68 = MENU ACCESS). Users cannot view or access
options for which they are not authorized; this includes options in the Quick Menu.
NOTE: Menu options 51 – 67 (ENGINEER 1 and ENGINEER 2) can be assigned additional access to
user type 2.3 - 3.6, by the engineer.
6-1
Menu Access Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
There are two methods of selecting menu options:

1. Direct Access:
Code + ent + option number + ent.
2. Menu Driven Access:

Code + ent + A (to select menu level) + ent;
A key (to select menu option) + ent.
Direct Access
Entering a valid menu option number while in the menu immediately moves to that option. For example, press-
ing 52 (type 3.7 only) when the keypad is displaying 22 = DISPLAY LOG moves directly to option
52 = PROGRAM ZONES; Pressing 10 while accessing the PROGRAM ZONES option moves directly
to 10 = Group (group mode must be first enabled in option 63.1). The option number entered must be valid
for the type of the menu structure that is currently being accessed.
Menu Driven Access

Menu driven access allows the engineer (and users) to enter the menu and, by using the A and B keys, navi-
gate through the available options. The options are accessed by pressing the ent key. If you press and hold
the A key it will scroll forward through the options and if you press and hold the B key it will scroll backwards
through the options.
Keypad Menu Timeout

Once the user menu has been accessed (irrespective of user type), if there are no keypresses for two minutes,
then the keypad timeout occurs; the system returns to the banner text.
NOTE: This feature does not apply when the system is in the Walk Test option. If no zones are tested or no
keypresses occur for 20 minutes when Walk Test is selected, then the keypad timeout occurs. In
Menu Option 66 (Pre-check) there is also a 20 minute timeout after the last zone has been acti-
vated.
Engineer Mode
To program the Galaxy Dimension control panel, the system must be in engineering mode. This allows access
to the engineer menu options 50 = ENGINEER 1, 60 = ENGINEER 2 and 70 = ENGINEER 3.
6-2
Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual Engineer Menu
Accessing Engineer Mode
User Authorized Access

Entry to the engineer mode is authorized by a user with access to menu option 48.1.1 =Eng Access.System
Access.Engineer. The user selects this option and presses key 1 to enable engineer access. The engineer
code must then be entered within five minutes of the option being enabled. A single entry of the engineer code
directly accesses the mode. If the code is not entered within the five minute period, the engineer code is invalid
and has no effect. Once the engineer mode has been accessed, there is no time limit on the period that the
engineer can remain in the mode.
On accessing engineering mode, any group that is set becomes inaccessible to the engineer. The set groups
cannot be assigned to zones, outputs and any other functions permitting group allocation. When the engineer
code is entered three things happen:
• All system tampers become isolated.
• The engineer is given access to the full menu.
• The banner message is changed to indicate engineer mode.
Exiting from Engineer Mode

To exit from engineer mode and return to the normal banner enter, carry out the following operation:
1. Return to the engineer banner
2. Enter the engineer code
3. Press the esc key
The Galaxy carries out the following checks:
1. That there are no module or zone tampers. If there are any module or zone tampers the escape
procedure is aborted.
2. That it is communicating with all of the attached modules.
If any modules are reported as missing from the system, the Galaxy prompts the engineer to
remove each of the missing modules by pressing the key. If the engineer does not remove the
missing modules, the escape procedure is aborted.
3. That all of the access doors (controlled by the on-line MAX) are closed. If any of the access doors
are open, then the exit procedure is halted until all of the doors are closed.
4. That there are no power failures on the galaxy system, such as AC fail, fuse fail or battery fail.
6-3
User Access Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Aborting the Exit Engineer Mode Procedure

If the esc key is pressed at any point while engineer mode is being exited, before the normal banner is dis-
played, the exit procedure is aborted and the system remains in engineering mode.
Multi User Access

The Galaxy allows multi-user access. A maximum of 4 users (GD-48), 8 users (GD-96) and 16 users
(GD-264/520) can simultaneously carry out tasks on the system.

Unsetting the System Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Unsetting the System Using a PIN

During the unsetting procedure, initiated by the opening of FINAL or ENTRY zone on a set group, the
system is unset by entering the user code followed by the A key.
• If the user does not have group choice, all of the groups assigned to the code are instantly unset.
• If the user has group choice only the group that the FINAL or ENTRY zone is assigned to is
unset; all of the other groups remain set. The system displays the set status of the remaining
groups and prompts for the required groups to be unset. To unset the required groups press the
relevant number keys — the S or P (Set or Part Set) changes to flashing U — and then press the
ent key.
• When the system/group is unset three short beeps are emitted to advise the user that the system/group is
unset
Engineer Unsetting
The engineer can only unset a system that was set using the engineer code. The engineer code cannot be used
to unset a system that was set by a user code.
Keyswitch Setting Options

Zones programmed as KEYSWITCH can be used to full set, part set and unset the system. Refer to option
52 = PROGRAM ZONE.
Setting the System with a Keyswitch

The KEYSWITCH starts the setting procedure of each of the groups assigned to the keyswitch zone. At the
end of the exit time, or when the setting procedure is terminated by a FINAL or PUSH-SET zone closing, the
ENTRY/EXIT HORN outputs and keypad buzzers become silent for four seconds, then emit two long tones
to confirm that the system is set.
NOTE: If the KEYSWITCH has its Part attribute enabled (refer to option 52 = PROGRAM ZONE) then
the KEYSWITCH part sets the system.
Unsetting the System with a Keyswitch

Activating the KEYSWITCH when the group that it is assigned to is set instantly unsets the group. All other
groups which have been “starred” to the KEYSWITCH are not affected and remain set.
Setting the System with Cards/Tags/Fobs

The Proximity user cards can be used to set and unset the system. This is done by assigning a user with one
of the setting options (refer to option 42.1.8 = CODES.User Codes.MAX Function). When the card is
held against a MAX module or keyprox for five seconds, the card held function programmed to the card user
is activated. For access control readers, a function button or triple swipe will be required to activate the card
function.
If the card user has a keypad assigned, the function will be shown as the assigned keypad. If the card user has
no keypad assigned then all keypads in the group assigned to the card user will show “Press any Key”. If a
6-6
Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual Card Setting
key is pressed the keypad containing the key to be pressed will show the card held function. If no keys are
pressed all keypads in the group(s) allocated to the card will show card the held menu function.
If the card user has group choice all groups available to the user will be displayed on the keypad. The user
must select the groups to be set/unset/part set using the appropriate number keys, as per normal PIN users.
If the card user has no group choice then the card held setting function will commence automatically.
Unsetting the System with Proximity Cards

The system or groups can be unset using proximity cards with the MAX, KeyProx modules and access
control readers.
If the unsetting procedure has been started by activating a Final or Entry zone then, swiping the card will unset
the system. If the card user has group choice then, only the group assigned to the Final or Entry zone will be
unset. All other groups available to the user will be displayed on the programmed/selected keypad or keyprox.
NOTE: The reader module must have common groups to the proximity card user to allow the card held
function to be activated.
Cancelling and Resetting Alarms and Alerts

Following an alarm, sounders and strobes are activated. When a fault condition occurs in the unset state, an
alert condition is activated. This consists of an intermittent beep at the keypad and/or a visual alert on the
keypad. Following each alarm activation, the alarm must be cancelled and the Galaxy reset. The activation is
cancelled by entry of any valid user code (type 2.2 and above) assigned to the group that has alarmed or by
presentation of a valid proximity card to a reader. The alarm sounders, Bell and Strobe outputs are silenced
and the keypad displays information on the zones or faults that have been activated. Use the A> and <B keys
to scroll through multiple activations.
If the user code entered is not of a sufficient level to reset the Galaxy, the keypad displays the message CALL
MANAGER RESET REQUIRED or CALL ENGINEER RESET REQUIRED (parameter 51.63 =
Banner Alerts must be enabled), depending on the type of alarm and level of reset required.
The Galaxy is reset by entering a valid user code assigned to the group that has alarmed, with the appropriate
reset level for the type of alarm that has activated — System, Tamper or PA (refer to option 51.6 =
PARAMETERS.System Reset, 51.7 = PARAMETERS.Tamper Reset and 51.22 =
PARAMETERS.PA Reset or 51.65 = PARAMETERS.Reset Levels). The keypad displays informa-
tion on the zones that have been activated during the alarm.
NOTE: If a tamper alarm has activated (zone or module) then the system cannot be reset until the tamper
condition is restored.
On the next setting of the Galaxy, if any of the zones that were opened during the previous alarm have not
closed since the alarm activation, then the system is prevented from setting. The addresses of the open zones
are displayed on the keypad; there is no sounder activation. Closing the zones permits the setting procedure to
start.
NOTE: This is not the same as open zones being indicated on the keypad; these are accompanied by rapid
tones on the Entry/Exit Horn.
Recording of Events
During any given set period, there is no limit to the number of signals sent from individual activations. How-
ever, no more than three events from any single source will be recorded in the event log.
6-7
Setting Features Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Resetting Using Alarm Cause Code

If enabled in menu option 51.72, when a reset is required, an alarm cause code must be entered to reset the
system.
If there are multiple alarm causes and/or multiple groups require to be reset, then the alarm cause code only
has to be entered once. The user enters the most appropriate code as determined on site. The cause code
values should be determined in conjunction with the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).
Overriding of Faults and Tampers

Whenever a user logs in, the display shows any unrestored faults and tampers. If the condition cannot be
cleared and restored, then to enable the system to be set, a facility to override the condition is included.
When a user tries to set the system, the system displays any conditions and allow the user to scroll through
multiple conditions. If the user has the authority to override the condition, the following display accompanies
the condition;
ENT to Continue
0001 +CU-BATT
If the user cannot override the condition, the ENT to Continue will not be displayed.
The user can override each authorized condition, by pressing the ent key while the condition is displayed on
the keypad. Each and every condition is individually displayed and overridden.
Pressing enter omits the condition for one set period only. Pressing escape returns to the previous banner.
When setting the system with an overridden fault or tamper condition, the display indicates the overridden
function in place of the set mode by showing the omit message as detailed in the omit menu function. The
Override condition is logged, and will last for one set period only. When all the groups that are affected by the
override condition become unset, the override status is cleared. An override restore is logged at unset.
If, during a setting attempt, there are conditions that haven’t restored and cannot be overridden, then the
system will not set. The display shows the CALL MANAGER RESET REQUIRED banner with a short
beep every 30 seconds .
Setting Features
The Galaxy control panels provide a range of features to assist the user in the setting and unsetting of the
system, minimising the possibility of error when carrying out these procedures.
Show Set Status

When Show Status is enabled (refer to option 58.6 = KEYPAD.Show Status), pressing the and # keys
simultaneously when the normal banner is displayed indicates the group set status.
F = Fault
R = Ready
S = Set STATUS 12345678

Multi-group Systems
The larger Galaxy panels have 32 groups; these are displayed on the keypad in blocks of eight groups, sub-
divided into A, B, C and D:
Exit Time
Once the setting routine starts, outputs programmed as Entry/Exit Horn emit a continuous tone. The keypad
used to set the system indicates the time, in seconds, remaining before the system sets.
Exit Time Reset

If any zones are open when setting starts or are opened during the setting routine, the sounder begins to pulse
rapidly; zones types other than Final, Exit, Entry or Push-Set (and Secure Final or Part Final when acting
as a Final), indicate on the setting keypad the number of zones open. The A or B keys can be used to view
the open zone types and addresses. Closing the zones resets and restarts the exit time.
Omitted Zones
If zones are omitted when the system starts setting, this is indicated on the keypad. The keypad indicates how
many zones are omitted.
Expiry Warning
During the last 25% of the programmed exit time outputs programmed as Entry/Exit Horn begin to pulse
rapidly, indicating that time is running short.
System Set Indication

At the end of the exit time the Entry/Exit Horns become silent for four seconds. This allows the door to be
locked and secured and gives the detectors time to settle before the system finally sets. Two long tones are
emitted to confirm that the system has set. If all groups are set the keypad briefly displays the message SYS-
TEM IS SET before returning to the normal banner.
Group Logic Setting Restriction

If Setting Logic has been assigned to a group (refer to 63.1.2 = OPTIONS.Groups.Setting Logic), the set
status of the groups must satisfy the conditions defined in the option to permit the group to set. If the Setting
Logic conditions are not satisfied, then the group cannot set. If multiple groups are being set simultaneously,
but one group is restricted due to the programmed Setting Logic, the remainder of the groups set. The
restricted group does not set; there is no warning or indication given.
6-9
Setting Features (cont’d) Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
If the programmed Setting Logic results in none of the selected groups being allowed to set, a warning
message is displayed on the keypad. This message does not appear if at least one group sets.
2 Groups not set

[<],[>] to view
Entry Time
The system begins the unsetting routine whenever a Final or Entry zone activates. The Entry/Exit Horns
pulse slowly indicating that the entry time countdown has started. The user must go directly to the keypad,
using the agreed entry route, and unset the system before the entry time expires. When 75% of the entry time
has elapsed the Entry/Exit horns pulse rapidly, indicating that time is running short.
Timeout (Slow Entry)

If the entry time expires before a valid code is entered to unset the group, a full alarm occurs. This is recorded
in the event log as a Timeout against the group which was in the process of being unset.
Straying from the Entry Route

If, during the entry routine, the user strays from the agreed entry route and activates a zone in a protected
area, a full alarm occurs.
Abort Time
Should the user exceed the entry time or stray from the entry route a full alarm occurs. However the activation
of the intruder output can be delayed to allow time for the user to abort the remote signalling.
The Abort Time parameter can also be programmed so that an Intruder alarm is activated immediately the
entry time expires or a zone is activated, but entry of any valid code cancels the alarm and deactivates the
Intruder outputs without the need for a system reset.
Abort Setting Message

Zones that are open or opened during the exit period are indicated to the user by a rapid audible tone from the
entry/exit horns. The keypad displays the open zones and then prompts the user to abort the setting by press-
ing the ESC key. This message is designed to prevent users from re-entering the building, closing the open
zones, allowing the system to set and trapping the user in the building.
Fail to Set
An output type (Option 53-Program output 40, Fail Set) is available that activates if a full set has not
occurred after a programmed period of time (determined by Option 51-Parameter 35, Fail to Set) from the
start of the setting procedure.
Power Failure While System is Set

When power is restored to the system, following a complete mains (a.c.) and standby battery (d.c.) power
failure, the system attempts to return to the set status — full or part — prior to the power failure. The system
begins the setting procedure. If there are no zones open that prevent the system from setting, at the end of the
programmed exit time, the appropriate groups and parts are set.

ent (to set) or esc (to select another option)
This option allows zones to be temporarily removed (omitted) from the system. Once a zone has been omitted
it does not generate an alarm condition (including tamper). The omitted zones are reinstated automatically
when the system is unset or manually when the zone omit option is disabled.
On selecting the Omit Zones option, the first zone that has the omit attribute enabled is displayed (refer to
option 52 = PROGRAM ZONE). If there are no omittable zones, then the message NO ENTRIES is
displayed.
Press the A or B keys to view other omittable zones. Press the # key to toggle the omit status of the required
zone. The display indicates the new omit status.
NOTE: A zone is omitted from the system as soon as it is selected.
This process is continued until all the required zones have been omitted:
• pressing the ent key starts the timed setting routine. The number of zones omitted from the system are
displayed during the exit time countdown;
• pressing the esc key returns to the 11 = OMIT ZONES without starting the setting routine.
On returning to the banner (normal or engineer) the keypad displays the message ZONES OMITTED.
Omitted zones remain omitted for one set period only or until they are manually reinstated to the system.
Outputs programmed as Zone Omit (mode programmed as reflex) are activated as soon as the zone is
omitted and remains active until the zone is reinstated.
6-11
11 - Omit Zones (cont’d) Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
There are five zone types which vary from the standard Omit Zones operation:
• Vibration Zones — if the omitted zone is a Vibration zone, then all zones (in all groups) programmed as
this type are block omitted. The Vibration zones remain omitted until they are manually reinstated.
Unsetting the system does not reinstate Vibration zones.
• ATM1/2/3/4 Zones — a single ATM zone type can be omitted for the duration of the period entered in
the ATM Timeout parameter (option 51.39). The ATM Delay parameter (option 51.38) determines
the delay before ATM zones are omitted following the entry of one of the ten ATM Codes.
Entry of a code allows the user to omit one of the ATM zone types. Once omitted, the initiating keypad
indicates the number of minutes remaining until the selected ATM zones are reintroduced to the system. A
warning is given ten and five minutes before the zones are reinstated. The omit time may be extended indefi-
nitely by re-entering an ATM Code. Outputs programmed as ATM1/2/3/4 are active when the respective
ATM zone type is omitted, and remain active until the zone type is reinstated.
Refer to option 52 = PROGRAM ZONES for details on the operation of Vibration and ATM zone types.
Manually Reintroducing Omitted Zones to the System

Selecting the OMIT ZONES option; using the A or B keys, select the omitted zone to be reinstated. Press
the # key toggle the omit status of the required zone. The display indicates the new omit status.
Normal Setting with Omitted Zones

Initiate the full or part setting routine. The system starts to set; the display indicates that zones have been
omitted. The zone remains omitted until the system is unset (with the exception of Vibration and ATM zones).
6-12
Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual Options 12 - 16
Option 12 – Timed Set

This option, when entered, starts the setting routine. The Entry/Exit Horns emit the expiry warning using the
programmed exit time (0-300 seconds). The system sets at the end of the exit time or earlier if a Final Zone is
opened and closed, key 0 is pressed — if programmed as an exit terminator — or if a push-set terminator is
operated. The option displays the time remaining until the system sets or the number of open zones preventing
the system from setting. Opening a zone during the exit routine resets the exit timer. Pressing the esc key prior
to the system setting aborts the setting routine.
NOTE: The factory default setting allows the timed setting routine to be initiated by entering a valid type2.3
(or above) user code and pressing the A key. By default the A key is assigned the function Timed
Set. The A key can be reprogrammed by the engineer to perform another function, or to start the
setting routine without a code being entered.
Option 13 – Part Set

This option operates exactly as the Timed Set option with the exception that only those zones that have the
part attribute enabled (refer to option 52 = PROGRAM ZONES) are set. All zones have the part attribute
enabled by default. Therefore selecting PART SET from the factory will set all zones. The part attribute of
the zones must be disabled if they are not to be included in the part set.
NOTE: The factory default setting allows the part setting routine to be initiated by entering a valid type 2.3
(or above) user code and pressing the B key. By default the B key is assigned the function Part Set.
The B key can be reprogrammed by the engineer to perform another function, or to start the part
setting routine without a code being entered.
Option 14 – Forced Set (Quick Menu Option 1)

Forced Set allows a timed set of the system when there are zones that are open at the point of se-
lecting the option. The open zones must have the omit attribute enabled (refer to option 52 = PROGRAM
ZONES). This option is only available if the Forced parameter (option 51.26) is enabled; otherwise, the
selection is invalid and the keypad displays the message Option not available.
When the Forced Set option is entered, the keypad displays the number of zones that have been omitted
(manually by option 11 = OMIT ZONES and automatically by the Forced Set) and the setting routine
begins. If there are any open zones that do not have the omit attribute enabled, the keypad displays the
number of open zones that are not omittable and prompts the user to view them. The non-omittable zones
must be closed before the setting routine can continue.
Option 15 – Chime (Quick Menu Option 2)

The Chime option allows the user to switch the chime facility on and off. Any zones that have the chime at-
tribute enabled (refer to option 52 = PROGRAM ZONES) momentarily operate Entry/Exit Horns when
opened; 2 long tones are emitted.
Option 16 – Instant Set

Selecting this option immediately sets all zones. No sounder or exit time is involved.
NOTE: The zones must be closed to allow the system to set. If any zones are open, then the exit time reset
feature (detailed previously) is activated.
6-13
Options 17 - 19 Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Option 17 – Silent Part

Selecting this option sets all zones that have the part attribute enabled. It starts a normal timed exit procedure
but exit sounders are not activated. In the event of an alarm occuring during a Silent Part set (e.g. fire alarm),
normal operation will be re-instated.
When group mode is enabled (Menu option 63.1), setting of a group using Silent Part set will not affect the
operation of any of the other group setting options.
NOTE: The zones must be closed to allow the system to silent set. If any zones are open, then the Exit
Time Reset feature (detailed previously) is activated.
Unsetting from Menu option 17 will still give a double beep.
Option 18 – Home Set

The Home Set option either fully sets or part sets the system. The system is:
• fully set if the exit time is manually terminated via a Final or Push-Set zone operation;
• part set if the exit time is allowed to expire.
Option 19 – All Set

All Set allows a timed set of groups assigned to the user code without offering the choice of which groups are
to be set. No group choice is offered. The groups that are set when this option is selected is determined by the
keypad group restriction (refer to option 58.7 = KEYPADS.Groups):
• If there is no keypad group restriction then all of the groups assigned to the user are set — as long as
there is at least one common group assigned to the keypad.
• If there is a group restriction on the setting keypad, then only the groups that are common to both the user
and the keypad on which the menu option is selected are set. For example, a user assigned groups 1, 2, 3,
and 4 selecting the All Set option on a keypad assigned groups 2 and 3 will only set groups 2 and 3.

22 - Display Log Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Option 22 – Display Log (Quick Menu Option 4)

The Galaxy event log is viewed using this menu option. The number of events that each of the Galaxy panels
can store are as follows:
• GD-48 - 1000 events
• GD-96/264/520 - 1500 events
The alarm log uses a FIFO (First In, First Out) method to log and store alarms. The control panel differenti-
ates between mandatory and non-mandatory events. All events are logged, however when the log becomes
full, non-mandatory events are dropped first. The log will always contain at least 500 mandatory events
(assuming 500 or more mandatory events have been generated). A full list of EN50131-1 mandatory events
and non-mandatory events logged by the Galaxy panel is given in Appendix D of this manual.
NOTE: The number of events logged from any one source during any set/unset period is controlled by
parameter 51.48 (Alarm Limits).
If group mode is enabled (refer to option 63 = OPTIONS) and the user code has group choice (refer to
option 42 = CODES), then the available groups are displayed for selection. Press the number of the groups
to be displayed, the N below the selected group changes to a flashing Y. When all the required groups are
selected press the ent key to access the log; only the events in the selected groups are displayed.
Once the event log is accessed, the most recent event is displayed. The B key steps backwards in time
through the log, while the A key moves forward in time. Holding down either key quickly steps through the
dates until the required date is found. When a selected date is on display the events of that day and previous
days can be viewed by repeatedly pressing the B key; events on subsequent days are viewed by repeatedly
pressing the A key.
The event log is wrapped round from beginning to end. The message START or END (depending on
whether the A key or the B key is being pressed) is briefly displayed when the wraparound is passed through.
The following information is detailed in the event log:
• time - time that event occurred;
• date - day and date that event occurred;
• event - information about the type of event that occurred. Certain events are displayed with a +
(positive — indicating that the event started or was activated) or – (negative — indicating that the event
ended or was terminated) symbol;
• user - alternates between the name and number of the user who initiated the event. If the event is
one that is not associated with a user code, for example, an alarm activation or a Final zone
closing, then no user information is displayed.
Pressing the # key while viewing the log can reveal additional information about certain event types:
• User events reveal the keypad, user type and user group involved in the event;
• Alarm events reveal the zone descriptor, if programmed.
• Walk tested RF zones reveal the measured signal strength of each RF device.
• REM CALL event displays the Remote Station ID for the Remote Servicing Software which has made
the connection with the panel.

* The authorization code is a secondary system manager code but is not programmed by default.
Engineer Code
• Engineer access is enabled via menu 48.1. This menu is only available to type 3.6 users.
• The engineer code can only modify the engineer PIN.
• The engineer code cannot assign, modify or delete the manager or user codes;
• On accessing engineering mode, any group that is set becomes inaccessible to the engineer. The
set groups cannot be assigned to zones, outputs and any other functions permitting group
allocation;
• While engineer mode is accessed, all tampers are disabled, however, all constantly alert zone
types — PA zone types, 24 Hour, Security, Fire — remain active.
• The engineer banner is shown on all keypads while engineer mode is being accessed; the
message ENGINEER MODE is displayed;
Entry to the engineer mode must be authorized by a valid type 3.6 user (refer to option 48 = ACCESS
AUTHORIZATION). The engineer code must then be entered within five minutes of the option being ena-
bled. A single entry of the engineer code directly accesses engineer mode, without activating an engineer
tamper alarm; ENGINEER MODE is displayed on the keypad. If the engineer code is not entered within
the five minute period, the code is invalid and an Insufficient Access Rights message is displayed on the
keypad. Once the engineer mode has been accessed, there is no time limit on the period that the engineer can
remain in the mode.
NOTE: Dual entry of the engineer code in a system requiring user authorization does not give access to

Escaping from Engineer Mode

1. Return to the engineer banner.
2. Enter the engineer code.
3. Press the esc key.
The Galaxy begins the exit engineer mode procedure by checking the integrity and security of the system:
• CHECKING FOR TAMPERS — the panel calculates that the standby battery connected to it is capable of
operating the system for the required period (as entered in the Standby Battery parameter — refer to
option 51.37). The system then verifies that there are no tamper conditions present on the panel, the
modules or the zones.
• SYSTEM MODULES — if there are no tamper conditions the Galaxy checks the number of modules con-
nected to the system:
• If no modules have been added or removed, “ NO MODULES ADDED, ESC TO CONTINUE” is
displayed. Pressing esc returns the system to the normal banner.
• If modules have been removed they are reported as missing; the engineer is prompted to view the missing
modules and to remove them from the system by pressing the ; a warning is given before the module is
removed. Press the ent key to confirm the removal of the module. Once all missing modules are removed,
the Galaxy reports the previous and current number of modules connected to the system, before returning
to the normal banner.
• If modules have been added, the Galaxy reports the previous and current number of modules connected
to the system, before returning to the normal banner.
If the esc key is pressed at any time during the exit engineer mode procedure, the procedure is aborted and
the Galaxy returns to the engineer mode. This return may take several seconds to complete.

Manager Code
The manager is authorized to:
• modify the manager PIN — the manager PIN cannot be deleted — and assign the MAX features
to the code.
If authorized via menu option 48.2 the manager is also authorized to:
• program the User Code options of each of the user codes;
• allocate other codes to the manager type (3.6);
NOTE: The manager PIN can be reset to the default code (12345) by the engineer and remote code using
the Reset Mgr (Manager) parameter (refer to option 51.21).
The manager code defaults to group choice when groups are enabled. The manager is able to toggle
the group choice option on and off (using the key) as required.
The manager code defaults to accessing the full menu (options 11 – 48). To access the quick menu (options 0

PIN option allows a PIN to be assigned to the user or an existing PIN to be modified. The PIN must be a
four, five or six digit number that is unique to the system.
NOTE: PIN size is dependent upon programming of parameter 51.66=Min Pin Size.
If a duplicate PIN is assigned, the message DUPLICATE ENTRY is displayed; the PIN is not assigned to
the user. As each digits is entered it appears on the lower line of the display. Pressing the key erases the last
digit displayed; continued pressing of the key will erase all of the digits. When the correct PIN has been
assigned press the ent key to accept the programming. If a MAX No. has been previously assigned the
display will prompt: delete max no. A = YES, B = NO and return to the previous menu level. When a PIN
has been assigned to a user number, a solid box ( ) is displayed on the top line of the user number details
screen.
AUTHORIZED MANAGER ACCESS
Deleting a PIN
Existing PIN entries can be completely erased by using the key instead of a digit entry. When there is no
PIN assigned to a user number a hollow square () is displayed on the top line of the user number details
screen.
Assigning Dual Codes

To program a user code as a Dual Code press the # key while the Modify PIN option is selected. The #
displays at the start of the assigned user PIN (#1314). When a PIN has been assigned as a dual code two
solid boxes ( ) are displayed on the top line of the user number details screen.
NOTE: The Master manager code can not be assigned as dual.
Dual Codes Operation

Entry of a single dual code can not gain access to the menu, set or unset the system. The message NO AC-
CESS – ADDITIONAL CODE is displayed. A second dual code must be entered within 60 seconds of the
first dual code to access the menu, set or unset the system. Dual codes can be different types, the highest type
entered is granted access to the system — whether it is entered first or second.
A single entry of a dual code - without a second dual code entry within 60 seconds - is recorded in the event
log as an Illegal Code; all outputs programmed as Illegal Code are activated.
Dual Focus
If a MAX number for the same user has a # assigned the dual function only works between the PIN and the
MAX card of the same user.
6-31
2=Modify Level
Each user is assigned an access level which determines the menu options available to the user. The program-
mable level are from 1.0 - 2.5.
3.6 is assigned to the manager.
3.7 is assigned to the engineer — this is fixed and cannot be assigned to user codes.
3.8 is assigned to the remote code. This is fixed and cannot be assigned to the engineer or user codes. The
remote code can only be used via keypads addressed as E.
On selecting this option, enter the level to be assigned to the user and press the ent key to accept the pro-
gramming and return to the previous menu level.

‡ The manager, engineer and remote codes (the last three codes on
the system) have fixed types which cannot be reprogrammed.
NOTE: All levels except guard can change their own PIN.
Table 6-6. User Access Levels
Duress Code
If the # key is pressed while the Modify Level option is accessed, then the current user code is assigned as a
Duress Code. Entry of a Duress Code at any time activates any output programmed as Duress (refer to
option 53 = OUTPUTS). There is no limit to the number of codes that can be assigned as Duress Codes.
Entry of any valid user code followed by ## is also a duress code (disabled in the UK to comply with
regulations).
Quick Menu
All of the user codes default to the quick menu. This menu is made up of a selection of ten options
(0 – 9) from the full menu options 11 – 68. Access to the quick menu is controlled by the user type. Any user
can be upgraded from the quick menu to the full menu by assigning a to the user while the Modify Type
option is accessed. Therefore a user with type 2.5 would have access to the full menu from options 11 – 42.
No code can access both menus.
The engineer can reprogram the options contained in the quick menu (refer to option 59 = QUICK MENU).
NOTE: The master manager code defaults to the full menu.
The engineer can determine the menu option access type (refer to option 68 = MENU ACCESS); this allows
users to access menu options that their code types are not, by default, authorized to access.
6-32
3 = Modify Name
This option allows a name to be assigned to the user (maximum 6 characters). Each of the user codes default
to the name USER. The engineer (ENG) and manager (MGR) are fixed and cannot be reprogrammed. On
selecting the Modify Name option, a section of the alpha-numeric characters that can be assigned to the user
name is displayed on the bottom line of the keypad; the cursor flashes on the letter L. Press the key to
erase the characters of the default or previous name. When the previous name has been erased, use the A or
B keys to move the cursor to the first character of the name and press the ent key; the selected character
appears on the top line. Continue this process until the name is completed.
The # key moves between upper and lower case characters and the system library. The alpha-numeric char-
acters and library words can be selected by entering the character or word reference number (refer to Appen-
dix A — Library) or by pressing the A or B keys.
When the user name is completed, press the esc key to accept the programming and return to the previous
menu level.
4 = Schedule
This option allows the user’s pin code access to the panel menu options for setting and unsetting. The pin code
only operates during the OFF period of an assigned weekly schedule which is created in option 65.1.
If a user attempts to use his pin code during the ON periods of his assigned schedule, then an illegal code
event is logged and any outputs programmed as illegal code are activated.
Setting this option to 00=None means that pin codes are always operational.
NOTE: This option does not control card access through doors at all. This is now controlled by templates
and is allocated to a user in option 42.11=Template.
6-33
5 = Temporary Codes
Temporary Codes allows a PIN to be temporarily allocated to a user. On selecting this option, enter the
number of days (0 – 99) that the code is to remain active. The default setting of 0 indicates that the code is
permanent. A temporary code expires and is removed from the codes list at midnight after the assigned
number of days. A code that has been assigned as a Temporary Code is indicated on the user code display
by a ^ between the user number and the user name, for example 001^USER.
NOTE: The manager, engineer, or remote codes cannot be assigned as Temporary Codes.
PIN Change
If a user is assigned the PIN Change feature in the Temporary Code option, the user must assign a new PIN
after a predetermined period — refer to option 51.42 = PARAMETERS.PIN Change — otherwise the
user PIN expires and is no longer operational.
To program a user code to prompt for a PIN change select the Temporary Code and press the key
instead of entering a number of days for a temporary code; press the ent key to accept the programming and
return to the previous menu level. A code that has been assigned as a PIN Change code is indicated on the
used code display with a between the user number and the user name, for example 001 USER. The
Manager, Engineer, or Remote codes cannot be assigned as PIN Change Codes.
If the value entered in the PIN Change parameter is 0 then the code is assigned as a permanent PIN — a
warning message is briefly displayed to indicate that a Pin Change will not be requested. However, if PIN
Change is within the range 1 – 12, then the number entered is number of months after which the code must be
changed, otherwise it expires.
NOTE: The PIN expires on the first day of the following month.
A notification (1 – 28 days) that the PIN requires to be changed can be assigned using the PIN Warning
option (refer to option 42.2); this prompts the user to assign a new code whenever the expiring code is en-
tered - except when the system is unsetting - for the number of days in the PIN Warning before the day the
PIN expires. The new PIN must be six digits and must be different from any current PIN including the user’s
existing one. The new PIN must be re-entered and, if confirmed, the user is returned to the banner. If the esc
key is pressed or the new PIN entered is invalid, the user may continue to use the panel as normal; the next
entry of the PIN will prompt for the PIN change.
NOTE: If the user has not assigned a new PIN by the end of the PIN Warning period, then the code is
erased on the next unsetting of the system.
6 = Modify Group
This option determines the system groups that the user has access to and operational control over. The
Modify Groups option is only available when the group mode is enabled.
Multi-group Systems
Press keys 1 – 8 to assign the relevant groups in each block to the user.
Code has been enabled (refer to option 63.1 = OPTIONS.Groups); the system defaults to groups disabled.
6-34
On selecting the Modify Groups option, the groups currently allocated to the user are displayed. All user
default to group 1. Pressing the group number toggles the group assigned to the user; pressing 2 and 3 assign
groups 2 and 3 to the user; pressing 1 (when group 1 is already assigned) removes group 1 from the user
code. To assign group choice to the user, press the key. When the required groups have been assigned to
the user, press the ent key to accept the programming and return to the previous menu level.
Multi-Group Systems
Group Block Physical Groups
A1-8 1-8
B1-8 9-16
C1-8 17-24
D1-8 25-32
Table 6-7. Groups
Group Options
Single Group A user can be assigned to any single group. In this case the type 2.2 and above user can
only access, set and unset the single group.
Multiple Groups Users can be allocated to more than one group in which case access and operation is
collective; the user cannot choose to operate on a single or combination of the assigned
groups.
Group Choice Users can be allocated more than one group but also have the choice of which of the
allocated groups to view , set or unset. Pressing the key while assigning groups to the
user assigns the group choice feature.
NOTES:
1. The manager, engineer and remote codes have fixed access to all system groups; this cannot be
reprogrammed.
2. The manager, engineer and remote codes are assigned group choice by default. The manager can
have the group choice feature removed; the engineer and remote codes have fixed group choice.
3. Users authorized to access Option 42 = CODES, can only assign the groups that have been
assigned to their user code; A user who does not have access to group 4, cannot assign group 4 to
another user code.
7 = Card Number
The Card Number contains one of the following:
• the serial number from an access control card
• the 10 digit number etched onto the card/fob/tag
• a number generated by the RF RIO identifying an RF Keyfob button
• the decrypted code of cards/tags self learned into the system for use with the keyprox.
These numbers identify the card/tag/fob to the system and references it to the user it has been assigned to.
6-35
By default card number is empty.

To enter the required number:
1. Enter the unique 10 digit number laser etched onto the card/fob/ tag or
enter the unique RF keyfob button identifier generated by the RF RIO (refer to RF RIO programming
instructions II1-0076 for details) or
press the A and 1 keys simultaneously of the KeyProx and present the card/fob to the KeyProx reader
within five seconds. The decrypted number in the card will be self learned onto the Galaxy panel and
displayed on the KeyProx.
2. Press the ent key to save the programming and return to the previous menu level.
NOTE: A card number can be assigned to a user code that does not have a PIN allocated to it. All other
options assigned to this user are valid for the card/fob/tag button programmed.
NOTE: For access control cards, when the serial number is not printed on the card, the card number can be
learned using the add batch menu (42.3.1).
8 = MAX Function
The card/fob/tag/button can be assigned a single menu option. The user must be authorized to access the
menu option assigned to the MAX - either by the user level assigned or menu option 68 = Menu Access.
The default option is Not Used. A new option is assigned by pressing the A or B key until the required option
is displayed or by entering the option number directly and then pressing the ent to accept the selection.
9 = MAX Keypad
The menu option assigned to the MAX card can be limited to operate on a single keypad. On selecting this
option the display shows , indicating that a keypad has not been specified. To specify a keypad, press the
# key. The address of the first keypad on the system is displayed. Use the A or B key to select the required
keypad and press the ent key to accept the selection.
NOTE: The address of the keypad that is currently being used is indicated by a black square flashing over
the first digit of the keypad address.
“Card-Held” Operation
The programmed MAX function is activated when either,
• the card/fob /tag is held continuously in front of the MAX/MicroMAX/KeyProx reader for 3 seconds
or
• the programmed RF keyfob button is pressed. It should be noted that if button 1 of the RF keyfob is
programmed as a setting function, button 2 will automatically become the unset action, as long as
button 2 has been programmed for MAX operation on the RF RIO.
If using a MAX/MicroMAX or KeyProx the reader or KeyProx must be assigned a common group to the
user. The keypad specified in option 9 = MAX Keypad displays the assigned MAX function.
Assigning Dual Functions to MAX Numbers
If a card has a # assigned to the number, then any card-held function will only work in conjunction with the
PIN from the same user, provided that the PIN has a # assigned also. The Dual Focus function will work in
either order, but if the card is presented first, it will simply enable the PIN to gain access to the normal menu
(see option 42 = Codes for programming).
If a user’s card number is assigned a *, then the card becomes Dual access. This means that it will not open
6-36
the door on its own; it needs another PIN or card as well (see option 42 = Codes for programming).
10 = APB Forgive
This function, if selected, clears all antipassback restrictions for the selected user.
11 = Template
Every user on the system must be allocated an access template. Multiple users can be assigned the same
template. An access template is a list of groups and time schedules that will govern card access through
doors. This method means that if there are multiple doors leading into one group or area, then a user will be
given access to all those doors in one move. This reduces programming time and complexity. The templates
are created in option 45.7 which are in turn made up from the weekly schedules created in option 65.1.
42.2 = PIN Warning

This option determines the number of days notification before the PIN Change expiry date (refer to option
51.42 = PARAMETERS.PIN Change) that the user is prompted to assign new code on entry of the expir-
ing PIN. The default period is 28 days, with a programmable range of 1 – 28. If the user does not assign a
new code by the end of the PIN Warning period, then the code is erased on the next unsetting of the system.
NOTE: The PIN Warning ends on the last day of the month, the PIN expires on the first day of the follow-
ing month.
42.3 = Card Users

This option determines the tags/cards on the system for various users. There are seven options:
1 = Add Batch
This option starts enrolment and displays the user/tag for each presentation. When batch enrolling (auto
assigning of tags to users), the panel increments the user number, starting from Batch Start. It does this for
every new tag presented at the DCM assigned in Batch DCM.
2 = Test Batch
This option checks the tag number stored at the panel for the current tag presented at the Batch DCM. It can
also be used to go directly to the user programming details that are assigned to the presented tag.
3 = Delete Batch
This option removes card numbers from enrolment. A warning is given before deletion.
4 = Batch Start
This option determines the user number where enrolment starts.
5 = Batch End
This option determines the user number where enrolment ends.
6 = Batch DCM Rdr

This option determines the DCM reader used for enrolment. Pressing the * key returns the system to the
default of any reader.
7 = Template User
This option chooses a user to be a template whose access authority and non-unique attributes are applied to
other users on the system when using the 1 = Add Batch function.
6-37
43 - Summer/44 - Trace Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Option 43 – Summer (Quick Menu Option 9)

The Daylight Savings Time is in accordance with European standards. The Daylight Savings time is described
as follows:
On the first day of each year, the British Summer Time (BST) Start date is set to the last Sunday in March
and the End date is set to the last Sunday in October.
The operation of the Summer option is as follows: at 01:00 hours (GMT) on the Start date, the system clock
advances to 02:00 hours (DST); at 02:00 hours (DST) on the End date, the system clock goes back to 01:00
hours (GMT).
NOTE: The time always changes with reference to GMT. For example, Italy, which is +1 hour would be:
Last Sunday in March - 02.00 to 03.00
Last Sunday in October – 03.00 to 02.00
The Start and End dates can be reprogrammed by authorized user codes. Press the A key to modify the
Start date or the B key select the End date; the new date must be a valid four-digit number - in the day/
month format (dd/mm).
Option 44 – Trace
This option provides a record of the most recent alarm activation. The Trace option records the details of the
setting and unsetting of the system immediately before and after the alarm activation and the first five events
occurring during the alarm activation. This information is maintained in the trace until the next alarm activation.
On entering the option pressing the A and B keys steps through each of the seven trace entries.
Pressing the # key while viewing the Trace option displays additional information about certain events — user
events reveal the keypad, user level and current group; alarm events reveal the zone descriptor if pro-
grammed.
The currently display trace can be printed out by pressing the key; pressing the esc key aborts the print-
out.
NOTE: A serial printer must be connected to the Galaxy panel via the on-board serial port, a printer inter-
face module or an RS232 interface module.
Group Mode
If group mode is enabled (refer to option 63 = OPTIONS), there is a separate trace for the most recent
alarm activation in each of the groups. On selecting the Trace option, a user with group choice (refer to option
42 = CODES) can view the trace of the assigning groups; press the number of the group to be displayed —
the N below the selected group changes to a Y — and then press the ent key.
If more than one group is selected, or the user does not have group choice, then the trace for the group with
the most recent alarm activation is displayed.

45.2 = Holidays
This function allows up to 32 holiday periods to be allocated. A Start and End date is entered for each holi-
day period using the 1=Modify Dates option, and the groups that are affected by the programmed holiday
periods are assigned using the 2 = Assign Groups function. The operation of all timers for the assigned
groups is suspended during these dates; the last operation of the Timers before the start date remains in
operation until the first operation after the end date. For example, a code which has been allocated the Timer
A period in the CODES option (42.1.4.1) will be inoperative during the programmed holiday period if the
Timer A is in the On time when the holidays starts.
1 = Modify Dates
On selecting this option, the first holiday period with 1=Name and 2=Modify Dates options are displayed.

This option selects the on-board telecoms as the communication device.
0 = Direct Access
On selecting this option, a 40 minute access period is enabled on the Galaxy panel; remote servicing software
can directly access the system during this period. Once access to the panel has been gained, it can be main-
tained indefinitely; there is no maximum duration. On terminating the remote servicing connection to the panel,
the access period remains valid for an additional 15 minutes.
1 – 5 = Call Back 1 – 5
A maximum of five numbers can be preprogrammed by the engineer (refer to option 56.1.12 =
COMMUNICATIONS.Telecom.Remote Access). On selecting one of the numbers (1 – 5) followed by
the ent key, the Galaxy panel dials out to the preprogrammed telephone number associated with the Call
Back number.
If the number selected does not have a preprogrammed telephone number, the system prompts for a number 1
to be entered. Enter the required telephone number and press the ent key; the panel then dials out to the
telephone number entered.
NOTE: The PC that the panel is dialling to must have remote servicing software running in the Waiting for
Call-Back mode.
1 = ISDN

47.3 Call Galaxy

47.4 Auto Service

The Galaxy Dimension panels can be programmed to automatically initiate communications to remote servic-
ing software, under three circumstances:
• If any site programming has changed the panel will automatically send the new programming to the
downloader.
• On a predetermined schedule the panel can activate an automatic periodic upload.
• On a predetermined schedule the panel can activate an automatic remote routine inspection.
NOTE: The Auto Service function works for both the Internal Telecomms and Ethernet module.
The following sub options allow the engineer to select the mode of the automatic communication in each of the
three situations. These options are not available to users.
1 = Mode
This selects the mode of the automated connection following a change to the panel programming. There are
four modes:
0 = Off
In this mode the panel will not automatically initiate a remote servicing call even if the panel programming has
changed. This is the default setting.
1 = Timed
In this mode, following modification to panel programming, a remote servicing call will be initiated automati-
cally between a programmed start time (option 47.4.2.1) and end time (option 47.4.2.2). To avoid traffic
congestion the panel selects a random time between the start and end times to initiate the call. Once the
connection is made, the new panel programming will be uploaded to the remote servicing package.
6-46
Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual 47 - Remote Access (contd)
2 = Instant
In this mode, following modification to panel programming, the connection to the remote servicing package is
initiated immediately, using call back number 1, on exiting engineering mode. Once the connection is made, the
new programming will be uploaded to the remote servicing package.
3 = Confirm
In this mode, when engineering mode is exited following a change to the panel programming, a message is
displayed at the keypad to asking whether a remote connection should be initiated. This must be authorized by
an appropriate user type before the call is made.
Once authorized, a two minute delay period is initiated. During this period, the engineer can initiate or cancel
the call.
If connection is initiated the panel uploads the new panel programming to the remote servicing package.
2 = Timers
This option selects the mode for automatic schedule to start a periodic upload. There are four further options:
1 = Start Time
This is the start time of the off-peak window during which the panel can initiate an automated remote servicing
call. The default is 01:00.
2 = End time
This is the end time of the off-peak window of the automated remote servicing call. The default is 06:00.
3 = Sync Schedule
If this option is programmed, after a period equal to the number of days entered (0-365), the panel will auto-
matically carry out an automatic connection to the remote servicing application and upload the latest panel
programming during the off-peak window time programmed in menu 47.4.2.1=Start Time and
47.4.2.2=End Time. The default number of days is 0 which disables the option.
4 = Schedule Reset
The schedule reset option controls the way in which the Sync Schedule operates. There are three further
options:
0 = Off
The panel will never initiate a remote servicing connection. This is the default setting.
1 = Auto Reset
This option resets the Sync Schedule timer after an automated connection.
2 = Manual Reset
This option resets the Sync Schedule timer after a copy of site data whether done automatically or
manually..
3 = Terminate Idle
This option allows a timeout period to be programmed into the panel which terminates a remote connection
after the programmed period of activity. This is programmable within the range 0-60 minutes. After termination
6-47
47 - Remote Access (contd) Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
the panel records in the event log the message REM ABORT to indicate that the connection was unexpectedly
terminated. The default timeout period is 10 minutes.
4 = Conn. Retry
If the attempt to initiate a remote servicing call fails, the panel can be programmed to do repeat dial attempts.
There are three further options:
1 = Retry Interval
The dial attempts can be programmed to occur from 0-60 minutes. Setting the value to 0 disables the feature
The default setting is 30 minutes.
2 = Retry Duration
The length of time that the panel tries to do a remote servicing call can be programmed from 0-24 hours.
setting the value to 0 disables the feature. The default setting is 6 hours.
3 = Redial Mode
In the event of a remote servicing session terminating unexpectedly, the panel enters one of the three program-
mable modes that follow.
0 = Off
The panel does not try to re-establish a connection.
1 = Retry
The panel initiates a remote servicing call to re-establish a connection. The retries will be as per option
47.4.4.1 (Retry Interval) and 47.4.4.2 (Retry Duration).
2 = Direct
The panel access mode changes to allow direct access for 30 minutes. This mode operates as per
option 47.1=Service when Direct Access is selected.
5 = Control Upload
This option controls whether a connection is established when only engineer or user programming data is
uploaded. This feature has three options.
1 = Eng Prog
Only initiates a connection when engineering programming has been modified.
2 = User Prog
Only initiates a connection when user programming has been modified.
3 = Either
Initiates a connection when either engineering or user programming has been modified.
6 = Remote Maint
This option controls the mode for automatically initiating communications for remote routine inspection and
6-48
Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual 47 - Remote Access (contd)
maintenance. The panel uploads only the most recent information available from 61=Diagnostics. No other
panel programming is uploaded. There are two sub-options that control this:
1 = Schedule
This option controls the schedule for the initiation of communication for remote routine inspection. The sched-
ule can be set from 0-365 days. The default is 0 days which disables the function.
2 = Advice
This option controls the method by which communication is initiated. It can be initiated automatically by the
schedule programmed above or manually by user entry of the Service PIN code, with or without a notification
message. There are three options. The default value for each is disabled.
1 = Code Only
Entry of a Service PIN code automatically initiates a remote servicing connection to call back number 1.
The Service PIN code can only be modified by remote users. When the Service PIN code is entered,
it resets any scheduled connection timers.
2 = Code + Notice
This enables the remote servicing notification timer, and display of remote servicing notification. The
remote service notification message is not displayed if the system is set. It only becomes active when the
panel is unset. The message REMOTE CALL INIT, A=SP PIN ENTER is displayed on the keypad
after entry of a valid manager type user code.
3 = No Code/Notice
This enables a remote servicing session without the need for a Service PIN code and the panel’s
remote servicing notification message. This option uses the start and end times programmed in menu
47.4.2.1 and 47.4.2.2 respectively.
7 = Service Pin
This is a 6-digit numeric Service PIN code (default 987654), which initiates an automated call to the Remote
Servicing application. The Service PIN code can only be changed from Remote Servicing and sending the
Service PIN code to the panel via the Send Remote Access Start Code. The Service PIN code cannot be
the same as any other user codes on the system. This option is only available when option 47.4.6.1 (schedule)
is greater than 0 and when option 47.4.6.2.1 (code only) are enabled.
8 = Send Panel ID
When a remote servicing connection is established, this option allows panel identification and authentication.
When enabled, the following sequence of events occur.
Once a remote servicing connection is established, whether panel or PC initiated, the panel delays for a period
as determined by Delay Time for incoming information from the remote servicing package.
If a valid control character is received by the panel within the delay period, the panel transmits an identity
string. If no character is received during the delay period the call is terminated.
9 = Delay Time
This is the time that the panel delays for incoming information from the remote servicing package. The delay
time can be set from 3-10 seconds. The default is 3 seconds
6-49
48 - Engineer Access Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Option 48 – Engineer access

This option allows access to be authorized for engineers for system programming and for managers in order to
add/delete/change all user codes.
48.1 = System Access

This option allows system programming of the Galaxy panel and is sub-divided into 1 = Engineer and
2 = Manager.
48.1.1 = Engineer
The engineer code is assigned programmed as dual by default. This prevents the engineer from accessing
engineer mode unless authorized to do so by a valid code. To gain access to the engineer menu a type 3.6
user must enter their code, and enable the Engineer Access option. This provides a five minute period during
which a single entry of the engineer code provides access to engineering mode without causing a tamper
alarm. Once the engineer mode has been accessed, there is no time limit on the access period.
If the Engineer Mode option has not been enabled, or the code is not entered within the five minute period,
then the Engineer code is invalid and has no effect.
If the PIN is programmed without the #, the Engineer Access option does not require to be enabled to allow
the engineer to gain access to engineer mode. The engineer code requires to be entered twice. The first entry
activates a tamper alarm which is cancelled by the second entry.
NOTE: Dual entry of the engineer code in a system requiring user authorization does not give access to
engineer mode.
When a manager gives authorization, from menu 48.1, for engineer access, the access is limited to one visit
only. When the engineer returns the system to user mode, the authorization is still valid for five minutes. After
this time it must be granted again by the manager.
48.1.2 = Manager
This option allows type 3.6 manager codes to be enabled for user code adding/deleting/changing. This option
can only be enabled by the authorization code. However, this option is not used by default. Manager codes
are always authorized. It can be enabled, if required, to comply with standards in certain regions. An authori-
zation code must be assigned in Menu 42 Codes, before the function is enabled.
48.2 = SIA Access

This option allows access to the SIA alarm signalling format and has two levels of access
48.2.0 = Full Access

This option allows a SIA level 4 user to send commands to the Galaxy control panel. The user can reset the
panel after an alarm signal.
48.2.1 = Limited access

This option only allows up to SIA level 3 access but excludes resetting of the panel after an alarm signal.

Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual 51 - Parameters
Engineer 1
Option 51 – Parameters
This option allows the engineer to modify the system functions. Options can be selected using the A or B keys
or by entering the two digit parameter number and pressing the ent key. The selected options can then be
programmed by using the A key to increase or the B key to decrease the values assigned to the parameter;
pressing the ent key accepts the new value and returns to the previous menu level. Any parameters that differ
from this procedure are indicated in the following paragraphs. The parameters also prompt the engineer on
which keys to press.
For example, press:
• 1 then 6 parameter 16 = Soak Time selected;

• ent currently soak time is displayed along with the programmable range 07 (1–14) days;
• 08 value of the required soak time, the display shows the new value 08 (1–14) days;
• ent accept the programming and return to 16 = Soak Time displayed.
NOTE: Default settings must be changed before programming in Menu Option 55 – Soak.
Assigning Parameters to Groups

Several of the parameters allow separate values to be assigned to the groups on the system. If groups have
been enabled, the relevant parameters prompt for a group to be selected; when selected, the value is assigned
to the group parameter using the procedure outlined in the previous example.
The parameters that permit group selection are indicated in the following paragraphs.

Table 6-8. System Parameters
6-52
Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual 51 - Parameters (cont’d)
01 = Bell Time
The duration of the Bells output activation is programmable within the range 0–30 minutes; the default is 15.
Assigning a value of 00 minutes sets the Bell Time to infinity.
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
The Entry/Exit Horn is subject to the Bell Time parameter in both the set and unset conditions.
02 = Bell Delay
The delayed activation of the bell is programmable within the range 0–20 minutes; the default is 0. The Bell
Delay is overridden by a comms failure (either a Comms Fail on the Communication Module or by the
activation of a Line Fail zone used to monitor a digicom); an alarm condition in either of these conditions
results in instant bells activation.
03 = Abort Time
The abort function delays the activation of a full intruder alarm condition following an entry alarm. This param-
eter has 2 sub-options:
1 = Abort Time
The abort time is programmable within the range 0-300 seconds and can be assigned a different value for each
group. The abort time will be initiated:
• whenever a zone that is not on the entry route (Final, Entry and Exit zones) is activated — a
user strays from the entry route;
• a valid code is not entered before the entry time expires.
The abort operation can be modified by adding a º or # to the programmed time. The standard abort
operation is as follows:
For entry route deviation, the signalling of an intruder alarm is delayed.
If a valid code is entered before the entry time expires:
(1) The intruder is not signalled.
(2) The system does not require a system reset.
If a valid code is not entered before the entry time expires or an entry timeout condition occurs:
(1) The intruder is signalled at the end of the entry time.
(2) The Abort timer starts on expiry of the entry time.
If a valid code is entered within the programmed abort time:
(1) If an abort output/channel is allocated to the alarmed group:
a) The Abort signal is sent.
b) The intruder condition is not restored.
c) Intruder restore is not signalled.
(2) If there is no abort output allocated to the alarmed group:
a) The intruder condition is restored.
b) Intruder restore is signalled
If the programmed abort time is allowed to expire without a valid code being entered, then the system
requires a system reset. The panel cannot be set until this occurs.
NOTE: If reduced resets (51.55.3) is enabled, the alarm will be reset by the user code, if the alarm is
unconfirmed.
6-53
Modified Abort Operation

Hash # abort alters the standard operation so that the signalling of the intruder condition is delayed until the
end of the abort time. If the system is unset during the entry time or abort time, no alarm conditions will be
signalled.
Star º abort alters the standard operation so that if a user strays from the entry route within the entry time,
the intruder is signalled as soon as the entry deviation occurs.
NOTE 1: To comply with DD243:2002, the Standard abort operation must be used, with the abort time
set to 001 seconds.
NOTE 2: To comply with EN50131:2004 and DD243:2004, the Hash # abort operation must be used
with the Abort Time set to 30 seconds or longer.
2=Bell Delay
This option is either enabled or disabled. When enabled, it will hold off the start of any bell delay time pro-
grammed in parameter 03, until the end of the abort time programmed above.
04 = Exit Time
This parameter determines the time allowed to leave the premises via the exit route before the system sets.
The Exit Time is programmable within the range 0–300 seconds; the default is 120 seconds.
Infinite Exit Time

Assigning a value of 000 seconds sets the Exit Time to infinity; an Exit terminator activation (Final or Push-
set zone) is required to complete the setting of the system. The infinite Exit Time is normally used with a
Push-set zone to terminate the setting and an Entry zone to start the unsetting procedure.
NOTE: If the system is programmed to Autoset and the Exit Time is programmed to 000, the Exit
Time will be set to 60 seconds for the Autoset — there is no requirement for a Push-Set zone to
be activated.
Setting Multiple Groups

This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group. If more than one is group is being set, the
longest exit time is adopted for all setting groups.
6-54
05 = Entry Time
This parameter determines the entry time allowed to users when unsetting the system. The Entry Time is
programmable within the range 0–300 seconds; the default is 45. Assigning a value of 000 seconds sets the
Entry Time to infinity.
NOTE: A Final zone assigned a when programming the function will double the programmed Entry
Time for the group it is allocated to.
06 = System Reset
This option allows the engineer or the remote code to determine the type that can reset the system following
an intruder alarm. The default type is 3.6 — manager; the programmable range is:
• 2.3–2.5 for the user
• 3.6 for the manager
• 3.7 for the engineer
NOTE: This option is affected by reduced resets, menu option 51.55.3.
The panel only requests Engineer Level Reset if alarms have been signalled, via the Communication Module
and appropriate type reset is set to 3.7. If no signal is transmitted, the reset will automatically reduce to type
3.6. This feature is only active when the DTMF signalling format is selected.
NOTE: This option can also be programmed from parameter 65 = Reset Levels.
07 = Tamper Reset
This option allows the engineer or the remote code to determine the code type that can reset the system
following a tamper. The default type is 3.7 — engineer; the programmable range is:
• 2.3–2.5 for the user
NOTE: This option is affected by reduced resets, menu option (51.55.3)
and appropriate level reset is set to 7. If no signal is transmitted, the reset will automatically reduce to type
3.7. This feature is only active when the DTMF signalling format is selected.
08 = No. Re-Arms
The Number of Re-arms parameter determines the number of times that an armed system can re-arm the
bells, following an alarm activation. The default setting is 9 (infinite) with a programmable range of 0 – 9,
where 9 is infinite re-arm. If the option is enabled, then the system re-arms at the end of the programmed
confirm time - only if all zones are closed or are open and can be omitted, or if the Omit all force is enabled.
The intruder output remains active until a system re-arm occurs.
6-55
Zones that are open at the end of the bell time must be omittable (Omit attribute enabled); the re-arm will omit
these zones. The complete zone circuit, including the tamper facility, is omitted. Refer to menu option 52 =
PROGRAM ZONES for details on enabling the zone omit attribute.
NOTE: If an open zone is not omittable, then the system will not re-arm, unless parameter 09 = Omit All is
set to 2.
09 = Omit All
This option determines if activated zones can be omitted at re-arm as described above.
0 = Disabled
1 = Omit All When set to 1 (enabled), omits any omittable zones that are open at re-arm. The complete zone
circuit including tamper is omitted.
2 = Force. As Omit All but omits zones whether omittable or not.
Refer to menu option 52 = PROGRAM ZONES for details on enabling the zone omit attribute.
10 = Key “0”
Key 0 on the keypad can be assigned to operate as a Push-set zone function; this will terminate the timed
setting procedure. When the option is set to 1 (enabled), pressing key 0 during the exit time completes the
setting of the system. The default is 0 (disabled).
NOTE: Key 0 must be pressed only on the keypad used to start the setting procedure.
11 = Local Part
When the Local Part parameter is set to 0 (disabled - default setting) the Intruder outputs are disabled when
the system is part set; the programmed bell delay is overridden. This is normally used to prevent the communi-
cator from dialling the Alarm Receiving Centre.
If the Local Part parameter is set to 1 (enabled) the Intruder outputs activate if an alarm condition occurs
when the system is part set.
Option 2 (SIA part off) is identical to option 1 with the exception that when the alarm format of the telecom
module is set to SIA then the part setting and unsetting of the system is not signalled to the ARC.
12 = Banner
This option can be used to customise both the top and bottom lines of the banner display. Press 1 to select
the TOP LINE or 2 to select the BOTTOM LINE; the display is written using the alpha-numeric assembly
method:
• erases characters;
• # selects upper case, lower case or library;
• AB selects alphabet character/words;
• 000–500 selects alphabet character or words;
• ent positions selected characters/words;
• esc accepts the programming and returns to the previous level; exits from the option.
The banner is displayed when the system is in the normal mode (set/unset).
6-56
13 = PA Delay
This parameter determines the delay between the activation of a PA Delay or PA Delay Silent zone and the
alarm sounding and signalling a PA via the communicator. The PA Delay is programmable within the range
1–60 seconds; the default is 60.
14 = Key/SW Level
This parameter assigns a code type to zones programmed as Keyswitch. The Keyswitch zone can be used
to reset system, tamper and PA alarms - depending on the reset type assigned to each of these parameters.
The default type is 3.6 - manager; the programmable range is:
• 3.8 for the remote code
15 = System Text
This parameter allows two text strings to be assigned to the system: press 1 to select the System ID or 2 to
select the Panel Location.
1. System ID — 16 character identification of system. This is used when connecting Remote Servicing
software.
2. Panel Location — 16 character message of where control is fitted.
The text is written using the alpha-numeric assembly method:
• erases characters;
• # selects upper case, lower case or library;
• AB selects alphabet character/words;
• 000–538 selects alphabet character or words;
• ent positions selected characters/words;
• esc accepts the programming and returns to the previous level; exits from the option.
16 = Soak Time
This parameter determines the number of days that zones can be soak tested for; the programmable range is
1 – 14 days; the default is 7.
NOTE: Default settings must be changed before programming in Menu Option 55 – Soak.
6-57
17 = Restart
This parameter has three options:
1 = Restart
This option re-configures the system without the need to remove and reconnect the power. The system dis-
plays a WARNING!!! ent=RESET SYSTEM, press the ent key to reconfigure the system. The keypad
display becomes blank for a few seconds, then displays the message Configuring Please Wait. When
configuration is complete the banner returns to the normal display (day mode). The Restart option configures
any modules that have been added to the system but gives an alarm if there are any tampers open or if any
modules are reported as missing.
NOTE: This parameter exits engineer mode. It is however recommended that the exit engineer mode se-
quence is used when adding or removing modules from the system.
NOTE: Outputs are momentarily reset during the restart. If the system has a communications requirement,
put it on test before using the restart.
2 = Defaults
This option chooses the panel default settings for a particular country. These are: 1 = UK, 2 = Spain,
3 = Portugal, 4 = Germany, 5 = Italy.
The system displays a WARNING!!! ent=RESET SYSTEM, press the ent key to reconfigure the system.
3 = Language
This option chooses the language shown on the keypad display. These are: 1 = English, 2 = Espanol,
3 = Portugues, 4 = Deutch, 5 = Italiano. Pressing ent changes the display immediately.
18 = Stop Set
This parameter, when set to 1 (enabled), prevents the system from set override if there is a communication or
power fail condition at the time of starting the setting procedure. If the condition is the result of an open Line
Fail or AC Fail zone, then the system can not be set until the zone is closed or omitted. The Stop Set param-
eter is set to 0 (disabled) by default.
NOTE: Battery Low will also prevent the system from setting.
19 = Part Alarm
When the Part Alarm parameter is set to 1 (enabled — default setting) the Bells and Strobe outputs activate
if an alarm condition occurs when the system is part set.
When the Part Alarm parameter is set to 0 (disabled) the Bells and Strobe outputs are disabled when the
system is part set.
NOTE: The Horn, Entry/Exit and Intruder outputs are not affected by this parameter.
6-58
20 = Power Delay
This parameter determines the delay between the activation of AC Fail outputs following a mains failure to
allow the power to return before signalling the fault. The Power Delay is programmable within the range
0–600 minutes; the default is 10.
21 = Reset MGR
This parameter should only be used if the Master Manager code is lost or must be replaced. On selecting the
Reset MGR parameter, a warning message is displayed: WARNING!!! ENT=Code Change; press the
ent key to erase current code and reset it to the default of 12345.
22 = PA Reset
This option allows the engineer or the remote code to determine the code type that can reset the system
following a PA activation. The default type is 3.6 — manager; the programmable range is:
• 2.3 - 2.5 for the user
and appropriate type reset is set to 3.7. If no signal is transmitted, the reset will automatically be reduced to
type 3.6. This feature is only active when the DTMF signalling format is selected.
23 = Print Codes
The Print Codes option, when set to 1 (enabled), allows the manager to print a list of the PINS for each of
the users. The option defaults to 0 (disabled).
24 = Exit Alarm
If the Exit Alarm parameter is set to 1 (enabled), any zone other than Final, Exit, Entry or Push-Set (or
Secure Final or Part Final when acting as a Final) that is opened during the exit time causes a full alarm
condition to be activated. The default is 0 (disabled).
NOTE: This option must be used only when specified.

If the Exit Alarm parameter is enabled, any zone that is open when the Autoset begins (at the end of the pre-
warning period) causes an immediate full alarm condition to be activated.
If the Exit Alarm parameter is disabled, any zone open when the Autoset begins (at the end of the pre-
warning period) results in an “urgent” bleeping from the Entry/Exit Horns. If the open zones are not closed
by the end the time assigned in parameter 35 = Fail To Set, a full alarm is activated along with any outputs
programmed as Fail-Set.
6-59
25 = Global Copy
The Global Copy parameter changes all zones within the selected range to the function and parameters of the
first zone in the range. On selection of the parameter, a warning message is displayed indicating that the zone
functions will be altered — WARNING!!! ENT=ZONE CHANGES: press the ent key to continue or the
esc key to abort the programming. The address and function of the first zone on the system are displayed:
• Copy Start: Use the A or B key to select the first zone in the range to be copied and press the ent key.
The function of this zone will be copied to all subsequent zones in the range;
• Copy End: Use the A key to move to the last zone in the range to be copied.
• Press the ent key to copy the zone function to the selected range.
26 = Forced
The Forced parameter enables or disables Menu option 14 = FORCED SET. If the parameter is set to 1
(enabled) the user can force the system to set, automatically omitting any omittable zones that are open at the
time of setting. If the parameter is set to 0 (disabled), option 14 = FORCED SET is not available to the user;
the message Option not available is displayed. The parameter defaults to 0 (disabled).
NOTE: It is recommended that Final, Entry and Push-Set zones have the omit attribute disabled.
27 = CCT Debounce
The cct Debounce parameter determines the response time of the zones (how long they must remain open
before registering as changing state). The cct Debounce is programmable within the range 20–1000 millisec-
onds (0.02–1 second); the default is 300 msecs. All entries are rounded up to the nearest 20 msecs.
NOTE: The value programmed in this option is the value allocated to the SYSTEM selection when program-
ming zone response time in option 52.
28 = Online Print
This parameter is used to select the print mode required when connecting a serial printer to the Galaxy panel;
there are two options:
0 = disabled (default): system only prints specific details at the user’s request. The printer can be
connected and disconnected at any time as required;
1 = enabled: this option switches the printer to on-line mode and requires that a printer be
continuously connected to the system. Events are printed as and when they occur. The events printed
are controlled by parameter 29 = Online Level.
NOTE: If Online Print is enabled, the event log and other options will not be printed at the user’s request.
The parameter must be disabled to permit all other print options to operate.
6-60
29 = Online Level
The On-line Level parameter determines the level of events that are printed when parameter 28 = Online
Print is enabled:
0 (default) - basic print (setting, unsetting, alarms);
1 - full print excluding MAX events (setting, unsetting, alarms, modifications, technical
details)
2 - full print including MAX events (all logged events).
3 - MAX events only (only card events).
4 - Basic Print plus MAX events (option 0 + MAX events).
30 = Video
This parameter determines the number of activations that must occur on any of the zones programmed as
Video, in a single set period, before a full alarm occurs; there is no time limit on the period between
activations. The Video parameter is programmable within the range 1–9 activations; the default is 2. The video
output occurs on every activation but a full alarm does not occur until the programmed number of activations is
reached. The Video zones activation counter is reset when the system is unset.
NOTE: The activations of the Video zones are cumulative - the counter is incremented each time any Video
zone in the group is activated.
31 = Delay Alarm
This parameter determines the delay between the activation of an Intruder Delay zone and the alarm sound-
ing or a Log Delay zone being recorded as opening in the event log. The Delay Alarm is programmable
within the range 0–3000 seconds; the default is 60.
If a second Intruder Delay zone opens followed by the first zone closing, the Delay Alarm time continues to
count from the activation of the first zone. The Delay Alarm timer is reset only when all delay type zones
return to the closed state.
32 = Show Alarms
If the Show Alarms parameter is enabled, the first alarm activation is immediately displayed on all the
keypads when an alarm condition occurs. Normally alarm messages are not displayed until the alarm is
cancelled by entry of a valid code. Parameter 51.63, Banner Alerts must be enabled to view alarms on the
keypad banner.
0 = disabled (default)
1 = enabled
NOTE: This parameter will only function when at least one group is unset.
6-61
33 = Secure Code
Once this parameter has been selected, the engineer code is randomly changed each day at 08:00 hours. The
service engineer must be informed of the “code of the day” by head office. The random code that is generated
is dependent on the local engineer code, therefore each area, company, branch or even system can have a
unique secure code.
Either the engineer or remote user code can select the Secure Code parameter. On selecting this parameter
the secure code equivalent to the current engineer code must be entered to confirm the selection. Only the
remote user code (or a cold start - erasing all programming details) can cancel it.
Select 1 to enable Secure Code, or 0 to disable the parameter; the default is 0 (disabled).
34 = Comfort Time
The Comfort Time parameter permits a period of time to be allocated when the values assigned to the entry
and abort time parameters and the number of wrong code attempts are doubled; the programmable range is
0–14 days; the default is 0. This allows new or unfamiliar users to become accustomed to the system without
causing false alarm activations. At the end of the Comfort Time the system returns all the affected parameters
to the programmed values.
35 = Fail to Set
This parameter determines the period of time that a zone must remain open, following the start of the setting
procedure, before the Fail Set outputs activate. The programmable range is 0–999 seconds; the default is
360 .
NOTE: The Fail to Set countdown time begins as soon as the setting procedure is started.
NOTE: The Fail to Set time should be at a minimum 5 seconds longer than the Exit Time (option 51.04),
to allow for the setting period to expire.
36 = Battery Size
Enter the size of the standby battery on the control Panel PSU. The programmable range is 0–99Ah; the
default is 0.
37 = Standby Time
Enter the value (in hours) that the system is required to run on standby battery if there is a mains fail. The
programmable range is 0–99 hours; the default is 0.
The Control Panel PSU calculates the battery run time from the programmed Battery Size (parameter 36)
and the load current. If the programmed Standby Time exceeds the calculated battery run time, a
STANDBY TIME LOW message is displayed on the keypad on attempting to exit engineer mode. Exiting
engineer mode is prevented until a Standby Time that is less than the calculated battery time is entered or a
larger battery is installed in the system and the new battery size is entered in the Battery Size parameter.
To view the latest battery Standby Time refer to Option 61.1.4=Diagnostics.Latest.PSU Comms.
NOTE: The calculated battery run time has a 10% safety margin built in.
38 = ATM Delay
This parameter determines the period of time before the selected ATM zone type is omitted following the
entry of one of the ATM codes. The programmable range is 0–30 minutes; the default ATM Delay is 5.
6-62
39 = ATM Timeout
This parameter determines the period of time that the selected ATM zone type is omitted following the entry
of one of the ATM codes. The programmable range is 1–90 minutes; the default ATM Timeout is 30.
40 = Datelock
41 = Weekend Work
This parameter is used to enable or disable menu option 45.6 = TIMER CONTROL.Weekend Work. If
the parameter is set to 1, the engineer can assign a Pattern Day and the user can authorize Weekend Work-
ing. If the parameter is set to 0 (disabled — default setting), the message Option not available is displayed
on selecting menu option 45.6, Weekend Work.
42 = PIN Change
This parameter defines the expiry period of user codes allocated the PIN Change attribute (refer to option 42
= CODES). The PIN Change parameter is programmable within the range 0–12 months; the default is 0.
The user PIN must be changed before the assigned PIN Change month ends. On entering the expiring user
code a warning that the code is due to expire and a prompt to assign a new code is given to the user. The
period of this warning message is determined by the PIN Warning option (refer to menu option 42.2 =
CODES. PIN Warning).
The default value is 0 - this means that although codes have been allocated the expiry attribute, they do not
expire.
43 = Timer Access
Option not available.
44 = Early Open
This parameter determines the number of minutes before the Lockout OFF time that the system can be
manually unset when the Early Open option (refer to menu option 45 = TIMERS) is switched on. The
Early Open parameter is programmable within the range 0–240 minutes; the default is 0.
45 = High Security
This option allows RIO zones to be monitored for Constant Voltage Tampers. A constant voltage tamper is
activated if a zone detector is replaced by a constant voltage source, for example, battery. This feature can
either be enabled or disabled. Only RIO zones are affected by this feature.
The High Security feature is disabled by default in the RIO, so must be turned on by the panel for this feature
to be activated. The feature can be turned on from the panel via Parameter 45 (High Security). The default
value for this parameter is disabled. If enabled, all RIOs on the system are affected.
6-63
46 = Resistance Select
RIOs rev 1.2 and Smart PSUs rev 0.7 and above allow the zones to be programmed, with different resistance
preset values for zone status activation. This feature allows selection of End Of Line or Double Balanced zone
resistance types. The on-board zones can also be modified using this feature.
The “EOL/Dbl. Bal.” resistance types are selectable from this option. The system default value is 1k Fault
(Double Balanced). There are 10 preset pre-programmable resistance configurations:
1 = Preset 1 (BAL); 2 = Preset 1(EOL); 3 = Preset 2 (BAL); 4 = Preset 2 (EOL); 5 = Preset 3 (BAL);
6 = Preset 3 (EOL); 7 = Preset 4 (BAL); 8 = Preset 4 (EOL); 9 = 1K Fault (BAL); 10 = 1K Fault (EOL).
The tables that follows shows the resistance windows for each type:

When a preset is selected, this will be the zone resistance range used by every zone on the system. Each zone
on the system can be further customised to a specific preset by using menu option 52.9, Resistance Select.
6-64
47 = Set Confirm
This parameter allows the system to emit a short double beep when the system/group has set. There are three
options.
0 = Off
No indication
1 = Alert on Set
A double beep when the system has set
2 = Alert on Comm
A double beep after a successful signal to the ARC that setting has occurred.
48 = Alarm Limits
This parameter allows the user to program the maximum number of alarms, per group, which may be transmit-
ted to an Alarm Receiving Centre in any set period. There are three options:
1 = No of Alarms
This is the total number of zone activations logged in any one set period. The selectable values are 0-10
where 0 is unlimited.
2 = Unset Limit
This is the number of activations logged from any one zone in any one unset period. The selectable values are
0-7. The default is 3.
Fire alarms are not restricted by this parameter.
3 = Set Limit
This is the number of activations logged from any one zone in any one set period. The selectable values are 0-
7. The default is 3.
Fire alarms are not restricted by this parameter.
NOTE: This feature only affects Contact ID, SIA and Microtech communication formats.
49 = Confirm Time
This option is the maximum time between two separate zones for a confirmed alarm to be generated up to a
maximum of 99 minutes, which is equivalent to the complete set period, with a default of 30 minutes.
50 = RF Bat Delay
This option allows a warning to be given at the Galaxy panel if an RF low battery is detected. An additional
option is given at the panel that allows a delay up to a maximum of 100 hours (default) before a signal of RF
BAT LOW is sent to the ARC.
6-65
51 = RF Jam Delay
This option allows the RF RIO to send an RF jam signal to the Galaxy panel if it detects interference for 30
seconds. If the interference is continuously present for five minutes (default), the signal is transmitted to central
station. The programmable range is 0 - 30 minutes.
52 = RF Stop Set
If this option is enabled, the setting is prevented if all supervised devices have not signalled to the receiver in
the stop set period prior to setting. This is selectable from 0 - 250 minutes. The default is 20 minutes.
53 = RF Stop Mode
This option controls if and how an RF fault prevents the panel from being set. There are three options:
0 = Disabled: An RF fault will not prevent setting
1 = Warning: If there is a failure the user will get a warning but can continue to set.
2 = Auto Check: If there is a failure the system cannot be set until the zone(s) have been activated.
54 = Keypad Access
This option allows the keypad to unset the system. There are two options:
1 = Always
2 = Except Entry: Except when entry time is running. This ensures that users are unsetting using a fob or
MAX tag (portable device)
55 = Confirm
This option controls how confirmed alarms are generated. It controls the operation of confirm outputs plus the
signalling of confirmed alarms. There are three options:
1 = Operation: This option controls when confirmed alarms can be triggered. An entry timeout alarm will
never contribute to a confirmed alarm. Here are three options:
1 = Before Entry. Confirmed alarms can be triggered before starting entry time only.
2 = Except entry (UK). Confirmed alarms can be triggered any time except during the entry delay
period.
3 = Always (EU). Confirmed alarms are always enabled.
2 = Entry Timeout: This option controls whether exit type zones can cause confirmed alarms, after an entry
timeout.
0 = Disable Exits. Exit type zones will only cause unconfirmed intruder alarms. They will not contribute
to the two activations required for a confirmed alarm.
1 = Enable Exits. After the expiry of the entry delay, activation of an exit type zone will be identical to an
intruder zone.
3 = Reduce Reset: This option allows user reset following an unconfirmed alarm.
0 = Off. Full system reset is required for any intruder alarm.
1 = On Unconfirmed. The system can be reset by user, if the alarm is unconfirmed. If the alarm is
classed as confirmed, a full system reset will be required.
56 = Force Restore
This option dictates when intruder restore signals are transmitted.
1 = Unset/Unconfirm: On unset or at the end of the confirmed time if the alarm is not confirmed.
2 = System Reset: Sent when the system is fully reset.
6-66
57 = Bell Extend
If enabled, this parameter extends the bell time if the system cannot rearm. For example , if the zone is still
open and cannot be omitted. The bell time can be extended up to 30 minutes maximum . The Default is 0, no
extension.
58 = Power Alarm
If enabled, this parameter allows the Bells, Strobe and Horn outputs to activate when there is an AC fail and
the system is set. The default is 0.
59 = Part Tone
When enabled, this parameter changes the setting tone for a part set. The new tone is on 2 secs, off 0.1 sec.
60 = RF Parameters
1 = Supervision
This parameter has two sub options:
1 = Silent Alarm. If enabled, it stops Supervision alarms from activating sounders when set.
2 = Debounce. This extends the normal 2 hour delay for supervision by a further 24 hours.
61 = Activity Mon.
This parameter allows zone activity to be checked. If zones programmed for zone activity checks are not
activated within the programmed time period and/or number of set/unset cycles a zone masked fault is indi-
cated at the panel. Six different combinations of check criteria are available for each zone.
Each criteria type can be programmed to check the number of days, the set/unset cycles or both. Default
value is both.
1 = Mode
The mode can be set to one of three options: Max Period, Max Unsets or Either.
2 = MAX Period
The time period that zone activity is checked can be set to between 1 and 28 days. Default is 14 days.
3 = MAX Unsets
This is the number of programmable set/unset cycles that must take place before a zone masked fault is indi-
cated at the panel. The number of set/unsets can be programmed from 1 - 10. The default is 7.
62 = Lockout
This parameter prevents code guessing on the Galaxy system.
1=Lockout
This parameter determines the number of invalid code attempts, which can be tried before keypad lockout
occurs. Keypad lockout prevents any entry via all keypads associated to the groups assigned to the keypad
where the invalid attempts were made. The lockout lasts for 90 seconds. Each subsequent invalid attempt to
cause a further 90 second lockout to occur. Entry of a valid code will reset the lockout counter. Lockout can
be programmed between 0 and 10. Default is 6. Setting to 0 disables the function.
6-67
2=Tamper
This parameter determines the number of invalid code attempts, which can be tried before system tamper
occurs. Lockout tamper can be programmed between 0 and 21. Default is 15. Setting to 0 disables the
function.
63 = Banner Alerts
This parameter determines whether system alerts are displayed on the Galaxy keypad banner. If enabled
system events will be indicated on the display. The default value for this parameter is disabled.
64 = Set Override
This parameter determines the type of user that can override specific fault events to set the system. The default
values are shown in the table below.
User Type
Fault Type
Override Level
System 2.1
Tamper 3.6
PA 2.1
Line Fail 3.6
General Fault 2.1
Power fail 2.1
Table 6-11. User Type Override Level
A different value can be programmed for each group.
65 = Reset levels
This parameter determines the type of user that can reset specific fault types. The default values are shown in
the table below.
User Type
Fault Type
Reset Level
System 3.6
Tamper 3.7
PA 3.6
Line Fail 3.7

Power Fail 3.6
Table 6-12. User Type Reset Level
NOTE: This parameter affects and is affected by parameters 51.6 (System Reset), 51.7 (Tamper Reset) and
51.22 (PA Reset). If the parameter reset level is changed at 51.65 then this change is reflected at
51.6, 51.7 and 51.22.
66 = Min Pin Size

This parameter determines the minimum size of each user code. This can be set from four to six digits. The
default is five digits.
6-68
67 = Level Format
This parameter determines the format used for user code authorization levels.
1 = EN.Galaxy (Default)
Uses new EN Galaxy user types 1.0 to 3.8.
2 = Galaxy
Uses standard Galaxy levels 0-8.
68 = Line Fail
This parameter allows the programming of the period between the panel being alerted by a communication
module of a Line Fail condition, and the user being alerted of the alarm condition. This value can be pro-
grammed between 0 and 1800 seconds. The default is 50 seconds.
NOTE: The communication module may take up to 40 seconds to alert the panel of a Line Fail condition.
This time is in addition to the programmed time of 0-1800 seconds.
This parameter affects all communication modules on the system.
69 = Alert Inds
This parameter allows the alert audio indication to be switched off. The default is 1 = Audio only.
0 = No Indication
1 = Audio Only
2 = Visual Only (only when parameter 63 enabled)
3 = Audio/Visual (only when parameter 63 enabled)
70 = SWDC Set Dly

When enabled, this parameter delays the indication of open zones at the start of a set sequence whilst the
Switch DC output (53.08) is active; this includes keypad text and sounders.
If there are no outputs programmed as Switch DC then there will be no delay at the start of the set.
71 = MF BL Enable
When enabled, this parameter allows the panel to send a SIA event when the battery is low and there is a
mains power failure. When the event is sent, the Power Delay time set in parameter 51.20 stops immediately.
72 = Max Alm Cause

This option defines the range of valid cause codes, as agreed with the Alarm Receiving Centre. When this
function is enabled, a cause code must be entered by the user when a reset of the system is required.
This parameter can be disabled by setting the alarm cause code to 000.
73 = Guard Unset
If set to 1 = Enabled this option allows a type 2.1 user code to unset the system if an alarm has occured. The
user code becomes type 2.4 after 3 minutes of the alarm but after 60 minuts returns to type 2.1. The user
code can set the system at any time provided there are no outstanding resets required.
6-69
74 = Backup Link
If the Ethernet fails to report, this parameter, when enabled, allows the communication to revert to Telecoms.
75 = Backup Timer
This is the time that the backup link is active. The time can be set from 0-300 seconds. The default is 90
seconds.
6-70
Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual 52 - Program Zones
Option 52 – Program Zones

This option is used by the engineer to modify the programming of the zones on the system. The option also
allows the attributes of the zone to be changed. The programmable options are shown in the table that follows:
Attributes Description
1 Function assign zone type
2 Descriptor 16 character (max.) alpha-numeric description
3 Chime enabled = momentarily chime effect if zone opened while unset
4 Omit enabled = zone can be omitted
5 Part enabled = zone included in part setting of system
6 Resp. Time Modify circuit debounce time
7 Custom SIA Select SIA event
8 Activity Mon. Selects criteria for zone activity checking
9 Res. Select Selects resistance range for zone
10 Group assign zone to a single group on the system
Note: Groups only appear if the Group option is enabled

(refer to option 63.1 = OPTIONS.Groups).
Table 6-13. Zone Attributes
Selecting Zones
On entering the option, the first zone on the system is displayed; the zone address, function and group as-
signed are displayed on the top line, the descriptor is displayed on the bottom line. Pressing the # key toggles
the descriptor to reveal the status of the chime, omit and part attributes. If the attribute is enabled, the initial
attribute letter is displayed, if it is disabled, a dash (–) is shown. For example, chime, part and omit enabled
display as COP, if omit is disabled the display would be C – P.
From the display of the first zone, any zone on the system can be displayed by pressing the A or B keys or by
entering the address of a specific zone.
The zone is selected for programming by pressing the ent key; the first zone programming attribute 1=Func-
tion is displayed.
Attributes
The attributes can be stepped through by pressing the A or B keys or directly selected by pressing the at-
tribute number (1–8). Once the required attribute is on display, press the ent key to gain access for modifica-
tion.
Once the attribute has been assigned press the ent key to save the programming and return to the attribute
selection level.
Pressing the esc key at any time when assigning attributes 1 and 3–10 to a zone aborts the programming and
returns to the attribute selection level. Pressing the esc key when assigning a descriptor to a zone saves the
assigned alphanumeric text and returns to the attribute selection level.
6-71
52 - Program Zones (cont’d) Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
1 = Function
Entering the Function attribute displays the address and the current function of the selected zone along with
the zone function reference number. The zone functions can be stepped through, forwards or backwards,
using the A and B keys. Alternatively a zone function can be directly selected by entering the zone function
reference number, for example, entering the 19 displays zone function 19 = FIRE.
Once the required zone function is displayed, it is assigned to the zone by pressing the ent key.
2 = Descriptor
Each zone can be assigned with an alpha-numeric descriptor of up to 16 characters. This descriptor is assem-
bled from the character set and/or library options. On selecting the Descriptor attribute, the currently as-
signed descriptor (blank by default) is displayed on the top line - an underscore shows where the next charac-
ter will be positioned, and a selection of the alphabet is shown on the bottom line - the cursor flashes on the
letter L.
Press the key to erase the characters already assigned to the descriptor.
The A or B keys can be used to move the alphabet left or right until the required character is positioned
underneath the flashing cursor. When the required character is in position press the ent key to copy the char-
acter to the descriptor in the top line. Repeat this procedure to assemble the required zone descriptor.
Text Case and Library
On entering the Descriptor attribute the alpha-numeric characters are all presented in upper case. Pressing
the # key toggles the characters to lower case.
Pressing the # key when the lower case alphanumeric characters are displayed toggles to the library words.
The words can be viewed using the A or B keys or directly selected using the reference number - refer to
Appendix A - Library. When the required word is displayed, press the ent key to copy it to the descriptor.
NOTE: Library words are a maximum of 12 characters and upper case only.
3 = Chime
If the Chime attribute is set to 1 (enabled) the zone will chime momentarily whenever it is opened while the
system is unset. The Chime attribute defaults to 0 (disabled) for all zone functions.
The A or B keys can be used to toggle the status of the Chime attribute — pressing 1 or 0 will also select the
required status; press the ent key to accept the programming.
NOTE: The Chime option (full menu option 15, quick menu option 2) must be enabled if the zones are to
chime when opened.
4 = Omit
If the Omit attribute is set to 1 (enabled) the zone can be omitted from the system by using one of the omit
functions (11 = OMIT ZONES, 14 = FORCED SET, 46 = GROUP OMIT). The Omit attribute defaults
to 0 (disabled) for all zone functions.
6-72
Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual 52 - Program Zones (cont’d)
The A or B keys can be used to toggle the status of the Omit attribute - pressing 1 or 0 will also select the
5 = Part
If the Part attribute is set to 1 (enabled) the zone will be included in the setting procedure when one of the
part setting options is used to set the system (13 = PART SET, 17 = INSTANT PART). The Part attribute
defaults to 1 (enabled) for all zone functions except zones programmed as 09 = Keyswitch.
The A or B keys can be used to toggle the status of the Part attribute - pressing 1 or 0 will also select the
6 = Resp. Time
This function is only applicable to zones on RIO rev 1.2 and Smart PSU rev 0.7 and above.
This option allows the user to select , either Fast (10ms), System (default value programmed in 51 – Param-
eters, Option 27) or Slow (750ms), for each zone.
7 = Custom SIA
This option allows a different SIA mnemonic to be allocated to the selected zone. The default is the standard

This attribute allows a zone to be checked for activity during a set time period or set/unset cycles. The options
are:
• 0 = None
• 1 = Type1
• 2 = Type2
• 3 = Type3
• 4 = Type4
• 5 = Type5
• 6 = Type6
The default option is 0 = None.
If the zone does not activate at least once within the programmed criteria a zone masked fault is indicated at
the panel. The fault is logged as a masked event which indicates that the zone has been inactive for the pro-
grammed period. See Option 51.61=Parameters.Activity Monitoring.

This option allows the zone resistor configuration to be selected from a pre-defined value.
• 00 = System (follows the system default as programmed in parameter 51.46 = Zone Resistance)
• Option 01 = Preset 1 - 1k (double balanced)
• Option 02 = Preset 1 - 1k (end-of-line)
• Option 03 = Preset 2 - 2k2 (double balanced)
• Option 04 = Preset 2 - 2k2 (end-of-line)
• Option 09 = 1k Fault (double balanced)
• Option 10 = 1k Fault (end-of-line)
The values assigned by each of the options are shown in tables 10 and 11, Parameter 51.46=Zone Resist-
ance.
10 = Group
NOTE: The Groups attribute is only available if groups have been enabled on the system (refer to option 63
= OPTIONS).
The Group attribute allows the zone to be assigned to a single group on the system. All zones default to
Group A1.
On selecting the Group attribute, the group that the zone is currently assigned to is displayed. All zones
default to group A1. Press the number of the group that the zone is to be reassigned to and press the ent key.
Multi-group Systems
6-74
Use the A or B key to select the required group (A1–D8). When the end of a block is reached, the next
block of eight groups is displayed; use keys 1–8 to assign the relevant group in the current block to the zone;
press the ent key to accept the selection.
Star ( ) Group Function

Certain zone functions have an additional Group attribute feature that allows the other groups to be affected
by their operation. This feature is assigned by pressing the key when allocating the group to the zone.
On pressing the key the display indicates the group currently assigned to the zone and prompts for other
groups to be added, for example 1 1 – – – – – – –, pressing 4 and 7 assigns 1 1 – – 4 – – 7 –.
Final, Secure Final, Part Final Keyswitch and Push Set Zones
If the star group feature is assigned a zone programmed as Final, Secure Final, Part Final or Push Set,
then closing the zone when setting multiple groups terminates the setting procedure for all groups assigned to
the zone.
Refer to the zone functions for further information on the operation of these zone functions.
Exit Zones
The star group feature can be assigned to a zone programmed as Exit. This allows an Exit zone to be
activated in a group which is not currently being unset without activating an Intruder alarm condition.
Refer to the zone functions for further information on the operation of this zone function.
System Alarms
The Galaxy panels have tamper and alarm monitoring circuits which are not programmable. These circuits
maintain the integrity of the system and all correspond to Group A1.

Table 6-16. Available Zone Functions
6-76
01 Final
Zones programmed as Final initiate the unsetting procedure and terminate setting procedure; opening the
Final zone when the system or group is set starts the entry timer; opening and then closing the Final zone
during the exit procedure sets the system or assigned groups, providing all the zones are closed. The opening
(+) and closing (–) of Final zones during the setting and unsetting procedures are recorded in the event log.
Pressing the key when programming a Final zone doubles the entry time of the group.
Opening a Final zone during the exit time is reported on the keypad as an open zone; the Entry/Exit Horns
bleep rapidly to indicate that the zone is open.
NOTE: The termination feature of a Final zone can be extended to terminate the setting of multiple groups
by pressing the key when assigning a group to the zone. Refer to the Star Group Function.
02 Exit
Zones that protect the entry and exit routes are programmed as Exit. During the setting and unsetting proce-
dures Exit zones have a non-alarm operation. If the Exit zone is activated while the system is set - without the
unsetting of the group being initiated - an Intruder alarm condition is activated.
Opening an Exit zone during the exit time is reported on the keypad as an open zone; the Entry/Exit Horns
bleep rapidly to indicate that the zone is open.
NOTE: The Exit zone can be assigned to multiple groups by pressing the key when assigning a group to
the zone. This allows an Exit zone to be activated in a group which is not currently being unset
without activating an Intruder alarm. Refer to the Star Group Function.
03 Intruder
The Intruder function is inactive when the system is unset. When the system is set, activation of an Intruder
zone causes a full alarm activation that requires to be reset with a code authorized for System Reset - refer
to option 51.6 = PARAMETERS.System Reset and option
51.55.3 = PARAMETERS.Confirm.Reduce Reset.
All zones are programmed as Intruder by default; this includes the zones on RIOs that are added to the
system at a later date.
04 24 Hours
The 24 Hours zone function is continuously operational. In the unset state, activation of the zone function
generates a local alarm condition (the Intruder outputs are not activated). If the zone is activated while the
system is set, the 24 Hours function operates the same as an Intruder function and results in a full alarm
condition. The 24 Hours zone function requires a system reset following an activation in both the set and unset
conditions.
05 Security
The operation of the Security zone function is identical to the 24 Hours zone function, except a Security
zone activation in the unset generates a local alarm (Horn outputs activated) that does not require a system
reset; any valid code (type 2 or above) cancels the alarm and resets the system. An activation in the set state
generates a full alarm that requires a system reset. The activation (+) and restoration (–) of Security zones is
recorded in the event log.
6-77
06 Dual (Double Knock)

The operation of the Dual (Double Knock) function is identical to the Intruder function, with the exception
that an alarm condition is activated only when there have been two activations from any Dual zones (assigned
to the same group) within a 20 minute period while the system is set.
07 Entry
This function initiates the unsetting procedure in the same way as a Final zone. However, during the setting
routine an Entry zone operates as an Exit zone type. This function is normally used in conjunction with a
Push Set zone, which acts as the exit terminator for the setting procedure.
Pressing the key when programming an Entry zone doubles the entry time of the group.
Opening an Entry zone during the exit time is reported on the keypad as an open zone; the Entry/Exit
Horns bleep rapidly to indicate that the zone is open.
08 Push Set
This zone function is used to terminate the setting routine. The system sets when the Push Set zone, usually a
push button, is activated. The Entry/Exit Horn stops immediately the button is pressed; the system sets after
four seconds, allowing the doors to settle to the closed state. The Push Set zone remains inactive until the
next setting routine.
NOTE: The Push Set zone can be either 1kΩ going to 2kΩ or 2kΩ to 1kΩ - refer to Installation Manual
(II1-0033), System Architecture for wiring details. The first time that the Push Set is used to
terminate the setting, the button will require to be pressed twice; the first press identifies the normal
status of the button to the system.
Activating a Push Set zone during the exit time is not reported on the keypad as an open zone; the Entry/
Exit Horns bleep rapidly to indicate that the zone is open.
NOTE: The termination feature of a Final zone can be extended to terminate the setting of multiple groups
09 Keyswitch
The Keyswitch function allows a zone to be used as an on/off switch for the system or assigned groups.
Operating a Keyswitch zone when the system is unset starts the timed full setting routine, therefore the exit
time is applicable. The system sets when the exit time expires or a Final or Push Set is activated.
NOTE: Assigning a # to the keyswitch zone function will cause the Instant setting routine to be activated. In
this case the exit time is not applicable. If a Keyswitch Zone has its omit attribute enabled, activation
of the Keyswitch will force set the assigned groups. Only zones with the omit attribute enabled will
be omitted.
When the keyswitch is activated twice during the exit time of an autoset, the autoset is temporarily cancelled
for a few seconds, then it restarts the exit time causing the panel to reset.
Operating a keyswitch zone type during the pre-warn period of an autoset will start a Force Set. If you then
activate the switch again (i.e. unset with keyswitch) before the panel sets, the pre-warn continues on the
autoset.
NOTE: When the keyswitch is activated the second time to take panel back into pre-warn, it can be up to
10 seconds before the pre-warn tones at the keypad start up again.
6-78
If the system is set, operating a Keyswitch immediately unsets the assigned groups; there is no entry time
countdown.
The Part attribute of the Keyswitch function defaults to 0 (disabled); the standard Keyswitch function full
sets the system. To part set the system using the Keyswitch, the Part attribute must be enabled.
NOTE: The operation of a Keyswitch zone can be extended to the setting and unsetting of multiple groups
The standard programming of the Keyswitch function requires a momentary change from 1kΩ to 2kΩ to
both set and unset the system. If the Keyswitch connected has a latching mechanism, press the key when
assigning the function; the display indicates 09= KEYSWITCH has been assigned. The
Keyswitch operation is as follows: 1kΩ to 2kΩ sets the system; 2kΩ to 1kΩ unsets the system.
The Keyswitch function can also be programmed to reset alarms - refer to option 51.14 =
PARAMETERS.Keyswitch Level. If the Keyswitch is assigned a sufficient type to reset the alarm condi-
tion, the alarm is cancelled and immediately reset when the Keyswitch is used to unset the system following
an alarm activation.
NOTE: The activated zones are not displayed on the keypad when a Keyswitch is used to reset the alarm.
10 Secure Final
This zone has dual functionality depending on whether the system is set or unset. When the system is setting,
set or unsetting the operation is identical to the Final zone function. When the system is unset the operation is
identical to the Security zone function.
Pressing the key when programming a Secure Final zone doubles the entry time of the group.
Opening a Secure Final zone during the exit time is reported on the keypad as an open zone; the Entry/Exit
The termination feature of a Secure Final zone can be extended to terminate the setting of multiple groups by
pressing the key when assigning a group to the zone. Refer to the Star Group Function.
11 Part Final
This zone has dual functionality depending on whether the system is full set or part set. When the system is full
set the zone operation is identical to the Final zone function. When the system is part set the zone operation is
identical to the Intruder zone function.
Pressing the key when programming a Part Final zone doubles the entry time of the group.
Opening a Part Final zone during the exit time is reported on the keypad as an open zone; the Entry/Exit
12 Part Entry
This zone has dual functionality depending on whether the system is full set or part set. When the system is full
set the zone operation is identical to the Exit zone function. When the system is part set the zone operation is
identical to the Entry zone function.
Pressing the key when programming a Part Entry zone doubles the entry time of the group.
6-79
13 PA
The PA (Personal Attack) function is continuously operational. Activation of this zone type overrides the Bell
Delay parameter and causes an instant full alarm condition that requires to be reset with a code authorized for
PA Reset — refer to Option 51 – PARAMETERS, 22 = PA Reset; the Intruder outputs are not acti-
vated by PA zones.
NOTE: If a PA zone is open, it is indicated on the keypad whenever a valid code is entered. The group that
the open PA is assigned to cannot be set until it is closed.
14 PA Silent
The PA Silent function is identical to the PA function, with the exception that there is no audible or visual
indication of the activation; that is, no bells or strobes are activated. Only the PA output (normally channel 2
on the digital communicator) signals the alarm. The activation (+) and restoral (–) of PA Silent zones is
recorded in the event log.
NOTES
1. At the time of setting, any PA Silent zones that are currently open are reported to the user.
2. The tamper facility on the PA zone remains active while engineer mode is accessed.
3. Engineer mode cannot be exited if a PA Silent zone is open.
15 PA Delay
The PA Delay function is identical to the PA function, with the exception that the PA output activation can be
delayed for up to 60 seconds; this is determined by option 51.13 = PARAMETER.PA Delay. During the
period of delay the Entry/Exit Horns activate to remind the user that the PA delay is counting down; entering
a valid code or closing the PA Delay zone aborts the alarm.
NOTES
1. If a PA Delay zone is open, it is indicated on the keypad whenever a valid code is entered. The group
that the open PA Delay is assigned to cannot be set until it is closed.
16 PA Delay Silent
The PA Delay Silent function is identical to the PA Delay function, with the exception that there is no audible
or visual indication of the activation; that is, no bells or strobes are activated. Only the PA output (normally
channel 2 on the digital communicator) signals the alarm. The activation (+) and restoral (–) of PA Delay
Silent zones are recorded in the event log.
NOTES
1. At the time of setting, any PA Delay Silent zones that are currently open are reported to the user.
6-80
17 Link
This zone type has no operational function; it is designed to be used as a source of a link - refer to option 54 =
LINKS. The activation (+) and de-activation (–) of Link zones is recorded in the event log.
18 Spare
The Spare function allows any zones that are not being used to be ignored by the system; the resistance
readings from the circuit - including the tamper conditions - do not activate an alarm condition.
NOTE: It is recommended that all unused zones are programmed as Spare and that a 1kΩ 1% resistor is
connected across each of these zones.
19 Fire
The Fire function is continuously operational. When activated, a FIRE zone overrides the Bell Delay pa-
rameter and activates an instant alarm (Bell, Strobe and Fire). The keypad buzzer and control panel horn
output, if fitted, emit an interrupted tone (one second on, 0.5 seconds OFF), easily distinguishable from all
other alarm conditions. Any valid code entry cancels the Fire activation.
20 Tamper
The Tamper function is continuously operational. When a Tamper zone is activated (1kΩ to 2kΩ), a tamper
alarm is generated; this requires to be reset by a code authorized for Tamper Reset - refer to option 51.7 =
PARAMETERS.Tamper Reset. If a tamper condition (open or short circuit) occurs, a tamper alarm is also
generated.
21 Bell Tamper
This function is identical to the operation of the Tamper function but is dedicated to bells, sirens and other
modules or output devices requiring tamper protection.
22 Beam Pair
This function is only operational when two consecutively addressed zones programmed as Beam Pair are
open in the set condition; the activation is identical to the Intruder function. The system cannot set if a single
Beam Pair is open.
NOTE: Beam Pair zones must be consecutively addressed; the first Beam Pair zone must have an even
number address, the second Beam Pair must have the next address (an odd number). For example,
valid Beam Pair addresses are 1036 & 1037, 2018 & 2031 - in this case, RIO 202 has not been
connected, therefore zone 2031 is the next address to 2018.
23 Battery Low
This function is used to monitor the voltage output of a standby battery connected to a power supply. The
activation (+) and de-activation (–) of Battery Low zones is recorded in the event log.
6-81
24 Line Fail
The Line Fail function is used to monitor the communication line that a remote signalling device is connected
to for communications failure.
When the system is in the unset state, the first activation of a Line Fail zone causes a local alarm and the
message COMMS FAILURE is displayed, subsequent Line Fail activations do not sound the local alarm;
the only indication is the keypad display.
When the system is set, activation of the Line Fail zone overrides the Bell Delay parameter; on unsetting the
system a local alarm is generated and the keypad gives an indication that Line Fail zone has activated. If an
alarm condition occurs while the Line Fail is active, an instant full alarm is generated.
If the Line Fail zone is active at the point of setting, a warning message is displayed; the user can choose to
continue or abort the setting procedure. It is also possible to prevent the system setting if the Line Fail is
active by enabling the Stop Set parameter (option 51.18).
25 AC Fail
This function is used to monitor a remote power supply. In the event of a power failure the AC Fail zone is
activated; the activation (+) and de-activation (–) of the zone is recorded in the event log.
26 Log
This zone type has no operational function; it is designed to record the activation of a zone in both the set and
unset state. The activation (+) and de-activation (–) of Log zones is recorded in the event log.
27 Remote Access
This function is used to disable remote servicing of the Galaxy panel. When the Remote Access zone is
active the Remote Servicing software is prevented from gaining access to the Galaxy panel.
28 Video
This function is identical to the Intruder function, with the exception that the cumulative number of activations
from Video zones, before a full alarm is generated, is programmable. The number of activations required is
determined by the Video parameter (option 51.30); the range is 1–9. The activation count is incremented
when any Video zone in the group activates; the count is reset to zero when the group is unset.
29 Video Exit
The Video Exit function is identical to the Video function, with the exception that the user can activate the
zone during setting and unsetting without incrementing the Video activations count. The Video output is not
activated during setting and unsetting.
6-82
30 Intruder Delay
The Intruder Delay function is identical to the Intruder function, with the exception that the full alarm activa-
tion can be delayed for up to 50 minutes (0–3000 seconds); this is determined by the Delay Alarm param-
eter (option 51.31). The Intruder Delay zone must remain open for the period of the Delay Alarm param-
eter; while the zone is open the Entry/Exit Horns activate to remind the user that the Delay Alarm is count-
ing down. Unsetting the system or closing the Intruder Delay zone aborts the alarm and resets the timer.
If a second Intruder Delay zone opens followed by the first zone closing, the Delay Alarm time continues to
count from the activation of the first zone. The Delay Alarm timer is reset only when all delay type zones
return to the closed state.
31 Log Delay
The Log Delay function operation is identical to the Log function, with the exception that the recording of the
zone activation can be delayed for up to 50 minutes (0–3000 seconds); this is determined by the Delay
Alarm parameter (option 51.31). Closing the Log Delay zone resets the timer and aborts the recording of
the event in the log.
32 Set Log
The Set Log function is identical to the Log function, with the exception that zone activations are only re-
corded in the event log during the set period.
33 Custom A
The Custom A function allows a zone to be assembled. The functionality of the zone; when it activates; the
outputs activated; if it sets or unsets the systems; if it logs, are assigned using menu option 64 = ASSEMBLE
ZONE. Once the Custom A zone has been created, it can be assigned to as many zones as required.
34 Custom B
This function is identical in operation and assembly to Custom A.
6-83
35 = Exit Guard
The Exitguard function allows a zone to be used to omit other zones on the system. This is useful for permit-
ting access via doors programmed as 24 Hours or Security.
The Exitguard zone must be the source of a link (refer to option 54 = LINKS); the destination of the
Exitguard link is either a zone address or an output type.
When opened, the Exitguard omits the zone entered as the link destination; an alarm is not activated if the
Exitguard zone is open while a zone that it is omitting is open. If the destination zone is opened while the
Exitguard zone is closed, an alarm activation occurs; opening the Exitguard omits the zone and silences the
output types assigned to the link destination. Closing the Exitguard zone while the destination zone is still
open does not result in an alarm activation; closing the destination zone deactivates the link and returns the
zone to its normal operation.
NOTE: The Exitguard function cannot be used as a link source to activate a link destination output.
Programming Example: • Zone 1014 = An on/off keyswitch programmed as Exitguard.

• Zone 1015 = A door contact programmed as Security.
• Output type Link A = An output wired to a local horn and programmed as Link
A.
NOTE: Exit Guard zones do not omit zones open when the exit guard zone is activated , even if they are
subsequently closed.
Operation: The Security door contact (1015) can be omitted at any time by operating the Exitguard
keyswitch (1014). If the door (1015) is opened without first being omitted, then the Link A horn activates and
needs to be reset by operating the keyswitch (1014).
Link Source Destination
1 Zone = 1014 Zone = 1015
2 Zone = 1015 Output = Link A
3 Zone = 1014 Output = Link A
Table 6-17. Exit Guard Zones
36 Mask
The Mask function is designed to be used with detectors capable of reporting that their field of view has been
blocked or masked. The Mask function is identical to the Security function, with the exception that the
Mask output is activated instead of Security.
NOTE: This zone type is independent from the mask zone state which can be detected for zones supporting
the masked feature.
37 Urgent
The Urgent function is continuously operational; it is identical to the Intruder function, with the exception that
it activates a full alarm condition (including the Intruder outputs) in any set or unset condition.
6-84
38 PA Unset
This PA Unset function is identical to the PA Silent function, with the exception that it is only operational
when the system is unset; the function is inactive when the group is set.
39 Keyswitch Reset
The Keyswitch Reset function allows alarms to be cancelled and the system to rearm without unsetting the
Galaxy. The type of reset authorization is determined by the Keyswitch Level (option 51.14). The type
required to reset Intruder, PA and Tamper alarms is determined by the System Reset, Tamper Reset
and PA Reset parameters (option 51.06, 51.07 and 51.22) respectively.
This function is designed to permit a remote signal, for example REDCare’s Return Path Signalling feature, to
reset the system following an alarm condition.
40 Bell Fail
This zone type is intended for bells which have diagnostic capabilities and failure outputs. If activated, this zone
causes a fault condition.
41 Intr Low
This zone type assigns a low priority to a zone in the event of an intruder alarm. The event is logged as low
priority in the event log.
42 Intr High
This zone type assigns a high priority to a zone in the event of an intruder alarm. The event is logged as high
priority in the event log.
43 PSU Fault
This zone type triggers a general fault output and logs a PSU fault in the event log. The fault is signalled to the
ARC as YP when using SIA format and 314 when using CID format.
44-46
Not used
47 Vibration
The Vibration function is continuously operational and is designed for use with vault sensors. Vibration
zones can be block omitted using menu option 11 = Omit Zones. If the zone selected to be omitted from the
system is a Vibration zone, then all zones programmed with this function are omitted.
NOTES
1. All Vibration zones in all groups are omitted when any Vibration zone is omitted. The user code does
not have to have access to all of the groups.
2. Vibration zones remain omitted until a single Vibration zone is manually reinstated. The unsetting of the
system does not reinstate omitted Vibration zones.
6-85
48-51 ATM-1, ATM-2, ATM-3 & ATM-4

There are four ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) zone types. These zone functions are continuously opera-
tional and are designed for the special maintenance and restocking requirements of ATM’s.
A single ATM zone type can be omitted for the duration of the period entered in the ATM Timeout param-
eter (option 51.39). The ATM Delay parameter (option 51.38) determines the delay before the selected
ATM zones are omitted once selected by an ATM code. Each of the zones ATM-1 to ATM-4 zones acti-
vates a corresponding ATM output.
NOTE: The relevant ATM outputs are activated as soon as the ATM Delay expires.
On entering an ATM code, the system prompts for one of the ATM zone types to be selected; to select the
ATM zone type to be omitted use the A or B key or enter the number of the ATM zone type. Once the zone
is selected, the keypad indicates the DELAY ACCESS - the number of minutes remaining until the ATM
zones are omitted. Once the zone is omitted, the initiating keypad indicates the ACCESS TIMEOUT - the
number of minutes remaining until the selected ATM zones are reintroduced to the system. The Entry/Exit
Horns sound a warning ten and five minutes before the zones are reinstated.
The omitted ATM zone type can be reinstated at any time, or the omit period can be extended by the ATM
user code. Enter the ATM code and press the ent key; the system prompts for 1 = RESET ACCESS or 2 =
ABORT ACCESS. Press 1 to restart the ATM Timeout or 2 to reinstate the omitted ATM’s.
NOTE: Only one ATM zone type may be omitted at any time.
52 Alarm Extend
The Alarm Extend function is identical to the Urgent function, with the exception that if the zone is open (and
has not been previously omitted) at the end of the bell duration (refer to option 51.1 = PARAMETERS.Bell
Time) it immediately activates another full alarm condition. Alarm Extend zones can only be omitted by
option 11 = OMIT ZONES.

Keypad Outputs
The keypad outputs are fully programmable. The address of the keypad output is the keypad address pre-
fixed with a star, for example the output for keypad 06 is 06. The function of keypad outputs default to
Entry/Exit Horn.
The valid addresses of the keypads on each of the panels and the respective output addresses are indicated in
Panel Line Address Output Addresses
GD-48 1 0 – 2, B, C, D, E & F (NOTE) 10-12, 15-19
GD-96 1 0 – 2, B, C, D, E & F (NOTE) 10-12, 15-19

4 0–6&F 40-46, 49
Table 6-29. Addresses of Valid Keypad Outputs
It is possible to add additional keypads at any unused comms module addresses (B, C, D and E) as detailed
in the following NOTE. These must be standard keypads. An engineer keypad can also be used at address F.
NOTE: On Line 1, keypad addresses B, C, D and E are not available if the Ethernet,
ISDN, RS232 or Telecom modules respectively are fitted.
Control Horn ( 99)

The control unit horn output - addressed as 99 - is fully programmable.
Attributes
The attributes can be stepped through by pressing the A or B keys or directly selected by pressing the at-
tribute number (1–4). Once the required attribute is on display, press the ent key to gain access for modifica-
tion.
Once the attribute has been assigned press the ent key to save the programming and return to the attribute
selection level. Pressing the esc key at any time when assigning attributes aborts the programming and returns
to the attribute selection level.
1 = Output Function
Entering the Output Function attribute displays the address and the current function of the selected output
along with the output function reference number. The output functions can be stepped through, forwards or
backwards, using the A and B keys. Alternatively, a function can be directly selected by entering the function
reference number, for example, entering 16 displays output function 16 = FIRE.
Once the required output function is displayed, it is assigned to the output by pressing the ent key.
6-88
Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual 53 - Program Outputs (cont’d)
2 = Output Mode
Each output function defaults to a specific, logical output mode. However, the output mode of each function
can be modified to meet special requirements: when reprogrammed, the new mode applies to all outputs
assigned to that function. The output modes are:
1 = Latch: the output remains active until a valid code is entered.
2 = Reflex: the output follows the activity of the triggering event, for example, the Set output follows the
setting and unsetting of the group.
3 = Pulse: the output remains active for the programmed pulse time 1-3000 seconds (50 mins).
Programming the Output Mode
Select the required mode using the A or B keys or by selecting the number 1 – 3. Once the required mode is
on selected, press the ent key to accept the programming. If assigning the Pulse output mode, enter the pulse
time (001 – 3000 seconds) and press the ent key.
3 = Output Polarity
The Output Polarity determines the normal operational state of the output. All outputs are referred to having
positive (0 = POS) or negative (1 = NEG) polarity. An output programmed as positive polarity is 12 V in the
normal condition and goes to 0 V when activated. A negative polarity output goes from the normal condition
of 0 V to 12 V in the active state. All outputs except SET (09) default to positive output mode.
NOTE: The Switch DC output is a positive polarity output, however, the normal condition is 0 V, going to
12 V when activated. The output mode is normally Pulse.
4 = Diag Recording
When this attribute is enabled, the selected output will be switched on during the diagnostic test (see Option
61.2.3=Diagnostics.Historical.Record).
This test can also be carried out remotely.
5 = Descriptor
This attribute assigns a descriptor of up to 12 characters for each output.
6 = Lighting
This attribute allows the state of certain panel outputs to be controlled by the user from the Touch Center.
There are two options:
1 = Control
Each lighting output can be controlled by setting to 0=OFF, 1=Toggle or 2=Trigger.
If the Control is set to Toggle or Trigger for an output, it will be controllable via the Touch Center whose
group map contains the output’s group. If the Control is set to OFF it cannot be controlled or viewed by the
Touch Center.
2 = Show Status
The status can be either 0=OFF or 1=ON. When set to ON the light shows the state of the output.
6-89
7 = Output Groups
NOTE: The Groups attribute is only available if groups have been enabled on the system (refer to option 63
= OPTIONS).
The Group attribute allows the output to be assigned to the groups on the system; an output can be assigned
to more than one group. All outputs default to all groups on the system.
On selecting the Output Groups attribute, the groups that the output is currently assigned to are displayed.
Press the relevant number keys to toggle the status of the group and press the ent key; if the group number is
displayed on the top line, then the group is assigned to the output; if a dash (–) appears in place of the group
number, the group has been removed from the output.
The output will activate if triggered by an event in any of the groups assigned to that output, unless output
group status has been programmed.
Multi-group Systems
The larger Galaxy panels have 32 groups; these are displayed on the keypad in block of eight groups, sub-

A1-8 1-8
B1-8 9-16
C1-8 17-24
D1-8 25-32
Table 6-20. Output Groups
block of eight groups is selected; press keys 1–8 to toggle the status of the relevant group in the current block
to the output; press the ent key to accept the selection.
Group Status
This group attribute offers an additional feature that makes the operation of the output conditional on the set
status of each of the system groups. An output assigned Group Status only activates if the set conditions of
the programming are met, for example, an Intruder output used to trigger a communicator can be pro-
grammed to activate only if groups 2 and 4 are set and group 3 is unset.
Groups 12345678
STATUS >-SUS----
To assign the Group Status conditions, press the key when selecting the groups: an arrow (>) is displayed
on the bottom line as well as the current Status. Press the relevant number keys to toggle the status of the
groups and press the ent key to accept the programming. The available group status conditions are:
S = Set — group must be set to allow output to activate;
U = Unset — group must be unset to allow output to activate;
– = Set or unset — output activation is independent of the group status.

01 Bells (Latch)
The Bells output is activated on a full alarm event when the system is set. This output is subject to the Bell
Time, Bell Delay and No. Rearm parameters.
02 Strobe (Latch)
The Strobe output is activated on a full alarm event during the set state. This output is subject to the Bell
Delay. The Strobe output follows the Bell Time, but latches on after the last rearm.
03 PA (Latch)
The PA output is activated whenever any of the PA zone types activate. The output is not subject to the
Rearm parameter; it latches on remains active until a valid code, with the appropriate PA Reset level, is
entered.
04 Intruder (Latch)
The Intruder output is activated on a full alarm event during the set state. Dependent upon the programming
of parameter 51.56 Force Restore the intruder output restore is either subject to the Confirm Time Window
+ unset or entry of a valid code with the appropriate system reset level.. Refer to the 51.56 Force Restore
description for further details.
05 Tamper (Latch)
The Tamper output is activated whenever a circuit tamper or lid tamper occurs. The output is not subject to
the Rearm parameter: it latches on and remains active until a valid code, with the appropriate Tamper Reset
level, is entered.
The output is also activated on the first entry of the engineer code when accessing engineer mode.
NOTE: The Tamper output is not activated on the Galaxy 512 when engineer access is authorized by the
user.
06 24 Hours
The 24 Hours output is activated whenever a 24 Hour zone is activated. The output is not subject to the
Rearm parameter: it latches on and remains active until a valid code, with the appropriate System Reset
level, is entered.
07 Reset (Latch)
The Reset output type is used as a control line output to latch, freeze and reset movement detector LEDs.
08 Switch DC (Pulse)
This Switch DC output is used to power detectors that require a momentary power interruption to reset them,
for example, break glass or vibration detectors. This output reverses its polarity (changes from 0V to 12V) for
the period of the Pulse output mode when the setting procedure has been initiated.
NOTE: When installing detectors that require to be powered from a Switch DC output, connect the positive
lead of the detector to the 12V terminal of a power supply and the negative lead to Switch DC
output terminal. Do not change the Output Polarity to 1=Neg: it must remain as positive polarity.
6-96
09 Set (Reflex)
The Set output is activated when the assigned groups on the system are set. This output is a Reflex output
and follows the set and unset status of the groups.
10 Engineer (Reflex)
The Engineer output is activated while the engineer mode is being accessed.
11 Spare (Latch)
The Spare output has function: it is used to designate outputs that are not being used on the system.
12 Ready (Reflex)
The Ready output is active when all zones in the system (group) are closed. This output activates in both the
unset and set conditions.
13 Security (Latch)
The Security output is activated whenever a Security zone is activated. The output is not subject the Rearm
parameter: it latches on and remains active until a valid code (type 2 or above) is entered.
14 AC Fail (Reflex)
The AC Fail output indicates the status of the a.c. (mains) power supply. The output activates when the a.c.
supply fails or an AC Fail zone is activated. The output is reset when the a.c. supply is restored or the AC
Fail zone is closed. The activation is delayed subject to the time entered in the 20=Power Delay parameter.
15 Battery Low (Reflex)

The Battery Low output activates whenever the control unit stand-by battery falls below 10.5V or a Battery
Low zone is activated. The output is restored when the voltage rises above 10.5V or the Battery Low zone
is closed.
16 Fire (Latch)
The Fire output is activated whenever a Fire zone is activated. The output is not subject to the Rearm
parameter: it latches on and remains active until a valid code (type 2 or above) is entered.
17 Horn (Latch)
The Horn output is a general alarm output and is activated by most zone types in both the local and full alarm
modes. For example, a Fire zone activation causes the Horn output to pulse on and off – on for 0.5 seconds,
off for 0.1 seconds. The Horn output is subject to the Bell Time, Bell Delay and No. Rearm parameters.
6-97
18 E/E Horn (Latch)

The Entry/Exit Horn output has a dual function:
• in an alarm condition its function is identical to that of the Horn output;
• during the unsetting and setting of the system it is used to provide an indication on the
status of the system. The indication states are as follows:
• General Alarm - ON 500 msecs. OFF 500 msecs.
• Clear to Exit - Continuous
• Exit interrupted - ON 100 msecs. OFF 100 msecs.
• 75% Exit Time - ON 200 msecs. OFF 200 msecs.
• Set - ON 600 msecs. OFF 600 msecs (twice)
• Normal Entry - ON 800 msecs. OFF 200 msecs.
• 75% Entry Time - ON 200 msecs. OFF 200 msecs.
• Fire - ON 500 msecs. OFF 100 msecs.
• Chime - ON 500 msecs. OFF 400 msecs (twice)
19 Part Set (Reflex)

The Part Set output is activated when the assigned groups on the system are part set. This output is a Reflex
output and follows the part set and unset status of the groups.
20 Confirm (Latch)
The Confirm output is activated when there have been activations on two separate zones: the second activa-
tion must occur within the Confirm Time Window. The zones do not have to be in the same group, however,
both groups must be assigned to the Confirm output to allow activation. Cross-group confirmation is control-
led by the Communications programming in menu 56.1, Int Telecoms or 56.5, Ext Telecoms. If signalling
is by DTMF format, cross-group confirmation will occur on groups that share the same confirm channel. In all
other signalling formats, cross-group confirmation will occur on groups that share the same account number.
NOTE: The Confirm output is used to give positive identification that a genuine intruder alarm condition has
occurred and to minimise the possibility of false alarm activations.
21 Line Fail (Reflex)

The Line Fail output is activated whenever a Line Fail zone is active or the telecom module detects and
sustains a line failure for more than 30 seconds.
22 Video (Pulse)
The Video output is activated by the Video zone when the system is set. This output can be used to activate
video recorder or video transmission systems.
23 Comm Fail (Latch)

The Comm Fail output is activated whenever there is a communication failure on the telecoms module tel-
ephone line. A fail to communicate event overrides the remaining Bell Delay period.

This output is activated when a battery load test is in progress. Refer to option
61.1.4 = Diagnostics.Latest.PSU Comms.
25 Wrong CD
This output is activated whenever a wrong code alarm occurs. That is, when six wrong codes in succession
are entered at the keypad. The output, by default pulses on for 90 seconds.
26 Alert (Latch)
The Alert output is activated when the control panel loses communication with one of the remote modules or
keypads.
27 Fire Delay (Latch)

The Fire Delay output is activated whenever a Fire zone is activated. The activation of the output is delayed
subject to the period determined by the 03=Abort Time parameter. The Fire Delay output is not subject to
the Rearm parameter: it latches on and remains active until a valid code (type 2 or above) is entered.
28 No Re-Arm (Latch)
The No Rearm output is activated on a full alarm event during the set state: it is subject to the Bell Delay
parameter. The No Rearm output is similar to the strobe output, but it stays on at the end of the bell time,
until unset.
29 Timer A (Reflex)
The Timer-A output is controlled by the Timer-A option (refer to option 65=Timers A/B) and activates in
accordance with the programmed on and off times assigned to the function.
30 Timer B (Reflex)
The Timer-B output is controlled by the Timer-B option (refer to option 65=Timers A/B) and activates in
accordance with the programmed on and off times assigned to the function.

user code with access to all of the groups assigned to the relevant timer.
31 Walk Test (Reflex)

The Walk Test output is activated when a zone included in the walk test is tested (refer to option 31=Walk
Test).
32 Zone Omit (Reflex)

The Zone Omit ouput is activated as soon as a zone is omitted from the system by option 11=OMIT
ZONES or by option 54=LINKS. If the Output Mode attribute is assigned as:
• Reflex (default) the output remains active until the zone is reinstated;
• Latch the output is reset on entry of a valid code.
6-99
33 Warning (Latch)
The Warning output is activated by the first occurrence of a high (1200-1300Ω) and low (800-900Ω)
resistance reading on each of the system zones in a single 24 hour period: the activating zone is recorded in the
log.
NOTE: The time period finishes at midnight, not 24 hours from first activation.
Subsequent high and low resistance readings from the same zone on the same day do not activate the output if
it has been reset by a valid user code.
NOTE: If a low resistance reading is followed by a high resistance reading, the Warning output activates on
the first occurrence of both activations.
34 Custom A (Latch)
The Custom-A output is activated whenever a Custom-A zone is activated.
35 Custom B (Latch)
The Custom –B output is activated whenever a Custom-B zone is activated.
36 Test (Pulse)
The Test output is activated at 12:00 hours each day for two seconds – the period of the Pulse can be
altered. This output can be used to perform a daily test on a digicom connected to the system.
37 Reset RQD (Latch)

The Reset RQD output is activated when a system, tamper or PA alarm has occurred that requires to be
reset by the engineer (type 3.7) code. Refer to option 51=PARAMETERS for details modifying the code
types assigned to the 06=System Reset, 07=Tamper Reset and 22=PA Reset parameters.
38 Mask (Latch)
The Mask output is activated whenever the zone resistance values returned by the RIO to the panel fall within
the range of the masked state (see Parameter 51.46, Zone Resistance). The output is not subject to the
Rearm parameter: It latches on and remains active until a valid group code (type 2 or above) is entered.
39 Valid Code (Reflex)

The Valid Code output is activated by the entry of any valid code. If the Output Mode assigned is Reflex,
the output remains active while the user is accessing the menu and setting and unsetting the system. Once the
menu is exited or the system sets or unsets, the output is restored.
40 Fail Set (Latch)

The Fail Set is activated if the system (or assigned groups) fails to set within the time assigned in parameter
35=Fail to Set – refer to option 51=PARAMETERS.
41 Duress (Latch)
The Duress function is activated on entry of a Duress Code (any valid code followed by two #’s, or a code
assigned as a Duress Code using menu option 42 – Codes). The output is not subject to the Rearm param-
eter: it latches on and remains active until a valid code (type 2 or above) is entered.
6-100
42 Illegal Code (Latch)

The Illegal Code is activated 60 seconds after an entry of a single Dual Code or a code which is entered
outwith the Timer A and/or Timer B times assigned to it in menu option 42.1.4=CODES.User
Codes.Schedule.
43 Max Tamp (Latch)

The MAX TAMP output is activated when a MAX, MicroMAX or MAX3 tamper is activated.
44 Abort (Latch)
The ABORT output is activated when a valid code is entered during the Abort period on system entry.
45 Unset
The Unset output is activated each time the system (or group) is unset. The default output mode attribute is
programmed as pulse, for two seconds. This can be used to activate a buzzer to notify a user that the system
has been unset, when using an RF fob.
46 Set Late (Latch)

The Set Late output is activated if the system has not been set by the programmed Monitor time – refer to
option 65.3.1=TIMERS.Autoset.Status.
47 U/S Early (Latch)

The Unset Early output is activated if the system has been unset before the programmed Monitor time –
refer to option 65.3.1=TIMERS.Autoset.Status.
48 Prewarn (Reflex)
The Prewarn output is active during the programmed prewarning period of the autoset function. The mode is
Reflex. The Prewarn emits a constant tone if the autosetting of the system can be extended. If an extension
is not possible, the Prewarn output pulses.
49 Autoset (Reflex)
The Autoset output is activated when the system has been set by the autoset function – refer to option
65.3=TIMERS.Autoset. The default Output Mode attribute is programmed as Reflex, therefore the output
remains active until the system unsets.
NOTE: The Set is also activated when the system autosets.
50 DR. Masked
The DR. (detector) Masked output is activated when zones, programmed for zone activity checks, are not
activated in the unset state within the time period or set/unset cycles programmed in Parameter 51.61. The
zones are programmed for activity in menu 52.8.
51 – 65 Link A – O (Reflex)
Link output types have no inherent function: they are designed for use with option 54 = LINKS to provide the
engineer with a means of activating a specific output address.
6-101
Link outputs can be activated by any of the link option sources. The operation of the Link output is depend-
ent on the Output Mode and Groups assigned to the output. The Groups assigned to the Link must have at
least one group common to the link output, if that output is to be activated. This feature can be used to multi-
ply the number of different link outputs available on the system.
NOTE: When a zone function is the source of a Link output type, then a point to point link is available and
is as effective as direct wiring.
66 RF Jam (Latch)
The RF Jam output is activated whenever any of the RF RIO’s configured onto the system detect a significant
level of interference to cause radio jamming.
67 RF Super (Latch)
The RF Supervision output is activated whenever there is a supervision failure from any one of the super-
vised RF detectors configured onto the system. That is, when the system has received no signals (including
periodic check-in signals) whatsoever, from a particular detector within the programmed supervision period.
68 Bell Fail
The Bell Fail output activates whenever a zone causes a fault condition.
69 Low Volts
The Low Volts output activates when the voltage of the AUX outputs drops below 10V.
70 Lockout (Reflex)
The Lockout output is active between the ON and OFF times assigned to the Lockout Status (option
65.3.6=TIMERS.Autoset.Lockout Status). The Lockout output mode is Reflex, therefore it remains
active until the lockout switches OFF.
71 Vibration Test (Pulse)

The Vibration Test function is used to test zones programmed as Vibration. This output is used in conjunc-
tion with Precheck (menu option 66 – Pre-Check: - Mode: 4 – Forced Check). The Vibration Test output
sends a five second positive removed pulse to the vault sensors. Any sensor not activated by the test is re-
ported by the pre-check function and prevents the system from setting.
72 – 75 ATM-1, ATM-2, ATM-3, ATM-4 (Reflex)

The relevant ATM output is activated when the respective ATM zone type is omitted. This output is a Reflex
output and follows the omit status of the ATM zone types.
76 Fault (Latch)
This output will activate any time there is a fault condition present on the panel and will clear when all the fault
conditions have cleared.
The following fault types will activate the fault output:
Line fail (any module), ARC comms fail (any module), RF jam, RF low battery, RF supervision failure, Bell fail
(from a bell fail zone), AC fail (panel, AC zone or power supply), Battery fail (panel, battery zone or power
supply), Mask.
SMS signalling faults will not activate the fault outputs.
6-102
77 Bell Test
This output activates when Bell Test is selected via menu 32. This causes the bell and strobe output to
activate. This output is normally used to activate a relay to cut power to the bell.
78 Comms Test (Pulse)

This output is used for remote routine inspection, via the downloader software. When a remote inspection is
carried out, this output will activate for 10 seconds in order to trigger the test input of an external comms
device.
79 Door Prop
This output activates when a door is held open for longer than the programmed time and an Open Timeout
occurs (Option 69).
80 Door Force
This output activates when a door is forced open without authorization and an alarm occurs.
81 Listen-in
This output activates after an alarm activation and an audio transmission is in progress.
6-103
54 - Links Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Option 54 – Links
The Links option offers a powerful method of interconnecting zones, output functions, codes, keypads, and
MAX modules. The links table is constructed by creating a link between one of the source types and a valid
destination type. Activating the source of a link activates the destination – this can be used to switch outputs
on and off to omit zones, codes, keypads and MAX modules from the system.
The links function allows MAX destinations to be assigned a ( ) star function. If the destination is pro-
grammed as MAX and the ( ) star is allocated, the assigned MAX door relay will open for the duration the
link is active. During this period no MAX alarms are generated if the door contact timeout is exceeded. The
on-board horns are deactivated and the green open LED will be illuminated throughout.
When the link is deactivated the MAX horn sounds and the door relay remains open for the programmed
relay duration period. - simulates an egress button activation.
If a max is disabled as the destination of a link, a card swiped at the max will still cancel an alarm or unset the
system. However it will not activate the relay or do a max function.
The number of links that can be assigned on each of the Galaxy systems is:
• Galaxy 48 = 64
• Galaxy 96 = 128
• Galaxy 264 = 256
• Galaxy 520 = 256
Programming Links
On selecting the Links option, the details of Link 01 are displayed. If no link has been assigned the screen
displays 01 NOT USED.
The details of each link can be displayed using the A and B keys, or a specific link can be selected by entering
the required link number, for example 05, 29. When the required link is displayed, press, the ent key to begin
the programming procedure. The system prompts for the Link Source to be assigned. If groups are set then
some sources and destinations will not be available for programming:
1. Press the # key to select the required link source from the available types (refer to Table 23. Link
Source ).
2. Press the A or B keys to select the actual link source (for example, the zone address or the user code
number).
3. If the source is required to toggle the destination on and off, press the key. The source is prefixed by a

NOTES:
1. The link destination is activated by the first operation of the source and then deactivated by the second
operation.
4. Press the ent key; the source of the link is assigned and the keypad prompts for the link destination to be
allocated.
5. Press the # key to select the required link destination from the available types (refer to Table 24. Link
Destination).
6. Press the A or B keys to select the actual link destination (for example, the zone address or the output
type). To cancel a link program the source as not used.
7. Press the ent key.
6-104
Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual 54 - Links (cont’d)
8. If the link destination is d). Output Type and Groups have been enabled (refer to option 63=OP-
TIONS) then each link must be allocated to at least one group (use the A or B key to move between the
group blocks; press keys 1 – 8 to assign the relevant groups in each block) and press the ent key.
NOTE: The groups determine which of the assigned output type destinations the link activates.
9. The details of the assigned link are displayed.

Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual 55 - Soak
Option 55 – Soak
The Soak option allows selected zones to be put onto test for a period ranging from 1 – 14 days (refer to
option 51.16=PARAMETERS.Soak Time). Activations from a zone on the soak test do not cause alarms
but are recorded in the event log and are reported to type 2 (and above) users on unsetting of the system.
The zone remains on soak test until the selected number of days has passed without any alarm activation, the
zones then resume normal operation – that it, activations result in alarms being generated.
The Soak Time is reset to the full number of days if there is an alarm activation on any of the selected zones.
NOTE: The Soak Time starts when the first zone is put onto soak test; subsequent additions are only tested
for the period remaining in the Soak Time. Parameter 51.16, Soak Time must be programmed
before activating any zones in to the soak test. The period remaining decreases by one day each day
at 0900 hours.
Activation of an Exit or Video Exit zone during the Entry time does not reset the soak test and period.
Programming Soak Zones

On selecting the Soak option, the address and function of the first zone on the system is displayed. Move to
the required zone by pressing the A or B keys or by entering the zone address. To place the zone on the soak
test press the # key; the keypad indicates that the zone is now ON TEST. Select other zones to be put on

56 - Communications (cont’d) Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
The on-board Telecom module allows two-way communication via the telephone network. This can be used:
• to transmit alarm and event signals to ARCs, (Alarm Receiving Centres), supporting a number of signalling
formats.
• to remotely service the Galaxy control panel via a PC with Remote Servicing Software installed.
NOTE: When using the Telecom module as a digital communicator to signal alarms and events to ARCs or
to a PC with Alarm Monitoring software installed, the Format, Telephone Number 1 and Account
Number required to be programmed. Programming of the remaining options is either optional or not
required.
56.1.01 Format
The Telecom module provides 4 signalling formats:
• DTMF
• SIA
• Microtech
• Contact ID
Once the format has been selected, the alarm and event triggers that the panel will transmit to the ARCs may
be programmed.
1 = DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency)

When DTMF format is selected, the operation of the Telecom module is similar to that of a hardwired 8 or 16
channel communicator. The Telecom module transmits as an eight channel communicator if channels 9 - 16 are
programmed as Spare.
NOTES:
1. DTMF is fast format
2. A battery low condition occurring on the Galaxy panel is always sent to the ARC as a code 8 in the
status channel. This may cause problems for some ARCs. If a channel is assigned as Battery Low, then
both the channel and the code 8 in channel 9 is transmitted.
Programming Channels
On selecting DTMF, the keypad displays 1 = Channels 1 – 16. All 16 channels can be individually pro-
grammed. To access the Channels option press the ent key; the programming details of the first channel are
displayed. Select the required channel using the A and B keys or by entering the channel number directly and
press the ent key.

channels 1 – 16. Channel 3 defaults to output function 04 = INTRUDER. All other channels default to
11=SPARE. Select the required output function using the A and B keys or by entering the function
number directly. Once the required function is displayed, press the ent key to assign the function to the
selected channel. For example, a PA function programmed on channel 2 results in a PA code to be trans-
mitted on channel 2 to the ARC when there is a PA alarm activation.
Confirmed alarm conditions will now work across multiple groups. Previously, a confirmed condition
would only be created if both zones activated were in the same group. Confirmed outputs (and channels
in DTMF format, option 56.1.1.1) will activate for alarms across groups as long as both groups
concerned have been assigned to that output or channel.
2 = Output Mode
Each output function defaults to a specific, logical output mode. However, the output mode of each func-
tion can be modified to meet special requirements: when reprogrammed, the new mode applies to all
outputs assigned to that function. The output modes are:
1 = Latch: the output remains active until a valid code is entered,
2 = Reflex: the output follows the activity of the triggering event, for example, the Set output follows the
setting and unsetting of the group.
3 = Pulse: the output remains active for the programmed pulse time (1-3000 seconds).
Programming the Output Mode

Select the required mode using the A or B keys or by selecting the number 1 - 3. Once the required mode
is selected, press the ent key to accept the programming. If assigning the Pulse output mode, enter the
pulse time (001 – 300 seconds) and press the ent key.
NOTE: The Output Mode status determines the operation of the channel restore. The status is modified
by pressing the key when the channel details display on the keypad. The status options are:
= Restore – channel sends restore code when reset
+ = Open/close - channel reports setting/unsetting
blank = Alarm only - channel signals alarm only (no restore signal transmitted)
6-111
3 = Output Polarity
The Output Polarity determines the normal operational state of the output.
0 = POS - channel activates when the output is triggered.
1 = NEG - channel activates when the output is reset.
4 = Diag Recording
5 = Descriptor
6 = Lighting
7 = Output Groups
NOTE: The Groups attribute is only available if groups have been enabled on the system (refer to option
63 = OPTIONS)
The Group attribute allows the channel to be assigned to the groups on the system; a channel can be
assigned to more than one group. The channel will only trigger when an event occurs on one of the groups
assigned to the channel. All channels default to all groups on the system.
On selecting the Output Groups attribute, the groups that the channel is currently assigned to are dis-
played. Press the relevant number keys to toggle the status of the group and press the ent key: if the group
number is displayed on the top line, then the group is assigned to the channel; if a dash (–) appears in place
of the group number, the group has been removed from the channel.
Multi-group Systems
The larger Galaxy panels have 32 groups; these are displayed on the keypad in blocks of eight groups,
sub-divided into A, B, C and D:
block of eight groups is selected, press keys 1-8 to toggle the status of the relevant group in the current
block to the channel; press the ent key to accept the selection.
Group Status
This group attribute offers an additional feature that makes the operation of the channel conditional on the
set status of each of the system groups. A channel assigned Group Status only activates if the set condi-
tions of the programming are met, for example, an Intruder channel can be programmed to activate only if
groups 2 and 4 are set and group 3 is unset.
To assign the Group Status conditions, press the key when selecting the groups: an arrow (>) is dis-
played on the bottom line as well as the current Status. Press the relevant number keys to toggle the status
of the groups and press the ent key to accept the programming. The available group status conditions are:
S = Set - group must be set to allow channel to activate;
U = Unset - group must be unset to allow channel to activate;
– = Set or unset - channel activation is independent of the group status.
6-112
Programming Individual Channel Account Numbers

When the account number is programmed using option 56.1.2 = COMMUNICATIONS.Telecoms.
Account No., then all 16 channels are automatically programmed with the same number. The Account/
Channel menu option allows each channel to be programmed with a separate account number if required.
The account number can be up to a maximum of six digits, however a four digit account number is the
standard.
NOTE: Changing the main account number overwrites all separate account numbers previously pro-
grammed for channels 1 – 16.
On selecting DTMF, the keypad displays 1 = Channels 1 - 16. Press the A key; the 2 = Acct/Channel
option is displayed. All 16 channels can be individually programmed. To access the Acct/Channel option
press the ent key; the first channel is displayed. Select the required channel using the A and B keys or by
entering the channel number directly and press the ent key; the account number currently assigned to the
channel is displayed. Press the B key to delete each of the digits and then enter the new account number.
2 = SIA (Security Industries Association)

The SIA format provides a highly detailed protocol that transmits detailed information including zone descrip-
tions to a PC loaded with suitable software or to a SIA compatible receiver. The SIA format is capable of
transmitting over 330 different Galaxy events (refer to Appendix C for further details).
On selecting the SIA format, the keypad prompts for the required SIA level to be entered, there are five SIA
levels available:
• 0 (default) - Basic event information with 4 digit account number.
• 1 - as level 0 plus 6 digit accounts
• 2 - as level 1 but with event modifiers
• 3 - as level 2 but with text descriptions
• 4 - as level 3 but allows control commands to be received by the Galaxy control panel.
Trigger Events
When the SIA level has been selected press the ent key, the keypad displays the first trigger event and its
On/Off status (see table 6-25 for a list of available triggers). These are the events and alarms that are
transmitted to the ARC or PC. If the trigger status is set to On, an activation of an event controlled by the
trigger results in the transmission to the receiver of the event details. Step through the trigger events using
the A and B keys.
The table below shows the list of signalling triggers that are available to the Telecom module, the RS232
module, the ISDN module and the Ethernet module.
No Trigger Event No Trigger Event
1 PA/Duress 11 Reset/Cancel
2 Intruder 12 Modules/Comms
3 24 Hours 13 Elec Status
4 Security 14 Menu Access
5 Custom Zones 15 Trouble

10 Setting 20 Fault
Table 6-24. Trigger Events
6-113
1 = Status
To modify the trigger, select the required trigger type using the A and B keys and press the ent key. To
program the status to On press 1, to set it to Off press 0. Press the ent key to save the programming and
return to the previous menu level.
Programming the SIA Format with Groups Enabled

If groups have been enabled on the system (refer to option 63 = OPTIONS), then the SIA format menu alters
slightly; an additional level is added.
1 = Trigger Events
On selecting the SIA level the keypad displays 1 = Trigger Events; press the ent key to display the first
trigger event; the keypad shows the trigger, the trigger status and the groups assigned.
1 = Status
To modify the trigger select the required trigger type using the A and B keys and press the ent key. The
1 = Status option is then displayed. If the status requires to be modified, press the ent key. To program
the status to On press 1, to set it to Off press 0. Press the ent key to save the programming and return to
the previous menu level.
2 = Groups
If groups have been enabled on the system (refer to option 63 = OPTIONS), then groups can be assigned
to the events. This means that the events have to occur in assigned groups before they are signalled. Press
the A key, the keypad displays 2 = Group Settings and then press the ent key; the status of the groups
assigned to the trigger is displayed. If the group has Y below it, then this event occurring in this group is
signalled. If N is displayed, then the event is not signalled for that group. To toggle the status of a group,
enter the group number. When all the groups have been assigned press the ent key to save the program-
ming and return to the previous menu level.
Cross Group Confirmation

Confirmed outputs (and channels in DTMF format, option 56.1.1.1) will activate for alarms across groups
as long as both groups concerned have been assigned to that output or channel. In the point ID signalling
formats (SIA, Microtech and Contact ID), confirmed signals will be transmitted across groups that share the
same account number. For example, in option 56.1.1.2 (SIA), it is possible to select a different account
number for each group on the system. Group 1 and group 2 can both be programmed with the same account
number. If there is a single activation in group 1 then a single intruder activation in group 2, within the con-
firmed time window, a confirmed alarm signal will be transmitted for group 2.
Multi-group systems
The larger Galaxy panels have 32 groups; these are displayed on the keypad in blocks of eight groups,
sub-divided into A, B, C and D:
Use the A or B key to select the required group (A1–D8). When the end of a block is reached the next
block of eight groups is selected, press keys 1–8 to toggle the status of the relevant group in the current
block; press the ent key to accept the selection.
6-114
2 = Group Settings
NOTE: This option is only displayed if the groups have been enabled (refer to option 63 = OPTIONS).
The event triggers are signalled to the telephone number, with the account number, programmed in the
menu options 56.1.2 = Telephone Number 1 and 56.1.3 = Account Number. However, each group can
be programmed to transmit event details to a unique telephone number and assigned a separate account
number. On selecting the Group Settings option the first system group is displayed. Select the required
group using the A or B keys and press the ent key, 1 = Telephone Number is displayed.
1 = Telephone Number
To assign a telephone number to the group press the ent key and enter the required number. The telephone
number can be a maximum of 22 digits (including dial pause and dial tone detect # characters); press the
ent key to save the programming and return to the previous menu level.
2 = Account Number
To assign an account number to the group press the ent key and enter the required number. The account
number can be a maximum of six digits; press the ent key to save the programming and return to the
previous menu level.
Account Groups
It is possible to have a number of groups bound by the same Account Number (an Account Group).This
means that one CL signal is not sent until all the groups within the Account Group are set. Individual groups
within the Account Group will not send a CL signal. The groups within the Account Group are identified by
a starred ( ) Account Number, for example, 2112.
When the Account Group is fully set, the identifier of the CL message is 999 to identify it as an Account
Group that has set.
For unset, each group that is part of the Account Group can report individually that it is open.
NOTE: Account Groups only operate for SIA signalling.
3 = Microtech
Microtech format is a protocol that transmits detailed point identification information to a Personal Computer
(PC) which has the Galaxy Alarm Monitoring software installed.
The menu structure and programming of the options are identical to the SIA format. Refer to 2 = SIA for
programming details.
4 = Contact ID
Contact ID format is a protocol which transmits point identification information to an Alarm Receiving Centre
that is capable of receiving the Galaxy variant of contact ID.
The menu structure and programming of the options are identical to the SIA format except for the addition of
the 2 = Ack timeout programming option. This option selects how long the telecom module waits for the
handshake tone from the receiver and can be set to 1 (30 seconds) or 2 (60 seconds).
6-115
56.1.02 Telephone No. 1

Telephone number 1 must be entered. This is the main telephone number that the alarms are signalled to. Up
to 22 digits may be entered, including control modifiers. The control modifiers are entered using the and #
keys:
Pause (for two seconds before dialling the next digit). Multiple entries can be made, for example,
entering gives a six second pause.
# Dial tone detect (wait for new dial tone). Each dial tone detect lasts for 15 seconds. Multiple entries can
be made, for example, entering ## gives a 30 second dial tone detect. If a new dial tone is not detected in this
time, then the dialling attempt is aborted. This is counted as a fail to communicate.
The B key is used to erase an existing telephone number. Each press deletes the last digit displayed.
56.1.03 Account No.

This is the site identifier. A unique account number must be entered, this can be up to a maximum of six digits
although four digits is the standard.
The B key is used to erase an existing number. Each press deletes the last digit displayed.
NOTE: Entering the account number into this menu option automatically copies the number to all channel or
group triggers in the selected format. Any individual account numbers that have been programmed
are overwritten.
56.1.04 Receiver
The transmission destination can be set to one of three modes:
1 = Single
Reports to the telephone number programmed in Telephone Number 1.
2 = Dual
Reports to both numbers programmed in Telephone Number 1 and Telephone Number 2. The alarm must
be transmitted to both numbers.
3 = Alternate
Reports to Telephone Number 1 OR Telephone Number 2. Each number is tried in sequence until the
alarm is successfully transmitted. The alarm is only transmitted to one number. Telephone number 1 is always
the first number attempted.
56.1.05 Telephone No. 2

A second telephone number is available to support Dual and Alternate dialling to a second destination
receiver. The programming is identical to Telephone Number 1.
6-116
56.1.06 Dial Type

The transmission mode can be selected from two types:
1. Tone (also known as “DTMF Dial”) this is much quicker at dialling than the Pulse option.
2. Pulse (also known as “Rotary” or “Loop Disconnect”) is universal, however, an increasing number of
exchanges now provide the Tone (DTMF Dial) option.
NOTE: If unsure of the type of exchange that the panel is connected to, leave as Pulse dialling.
56.1.07 Autotest
An engineer test can be automatically transmitted to the Monitoring Station at programmed intervals, in order
to indicate alarm transmission path integrity.
1 = Start Time
The engineer uses this option to enter the time that the first engineer test is transmitted. Subsequent engineer
test transmissions are offset by the value assigned in the Test Interval option.
2 = Intervals
This option determines the period between engineer test transmissions following the Start Time, the program-
mable range is 0 – 99 hours.
NOTES:
1. If the Test Interval is 0 (default) the Autotest is disabled — even if a Start Time has been assigned.
2. To disable Autotest enter 00:00 (default); no transmissions of test signals can be sent at midnight.
3 = Intelligent Test
This option stops the transmission of an automatic engineer test if an alarm signal has already been sent during
the autotest interval.
4 = Group Condition
The Group Condition determines the status that each group must satisfy before the Autotest is transmitted.
This can be used to prevent an Autotest from being signalled when groups are set on the system. On selecting
this option press the relevant number keys to toggle the status of the groups and press the ent key to accept
the programming. The available group status conditions are:
S = Set - group must be set to allow autotest transmission;
U = Unset - group must be unset to allow autotest transmission;
– = Set or unset - autotest transmission is independent of the group status.
6-117
56.1.08 Engineer Test

An engineer test can be sent to the alarm destination once the Account Number and the Telephone Number
1 have been entered, to ensure that the station is receiving transmissions sent from the Telecom module.
On selecting this option a warning message is displayed on the keypad, WARNING!!! ENT = SEND
MESSAGE. Press the ent key to send the engineer test.
The test attempts to transmit once for each selection of the option. If the test is not successfully transmitted,
the communicator does not attempt to resend. An unsuccessful transmission is not counted as a FAIL TO
COMMUNICATE.
NOTE: Activation of an engineer test will send a test signal via all Galaxy communication modules.
56.1.09 No. of Rings

This option determines the number of rings before the Telecom module answers an incoming call; the pro-
grammable range is 1 – 20, the default is 10.
56.1.10 Line Fail

The Telecom module continually monitors the telephone line that it is connected to. This option determines the
line monitoring conditions that result in a LINE FAIL event being reported and recorded in the log. The three
line monitoring capabilities are:
1 = Line Volts (default Enabled): A line fail occurs if the voltage on the telephone line falls below
three volts, or the line is cut.
2 = Dial Tone (default Disabled): A line fail occurs if the Telecom module cannot detect a dial tone
on the telephone line, when a dial attempt is made. In this case the Telecom module records the line
fail, but will continue the call attempt even if no dial tone is detected.
3 = Incoming Call (default Disabled): A line fail occurs if the Telecom module attempts to transmit
an alarm while there is an incoming call.
NOTE: Any combination of the above options may be enabled or disabled at any time.
When one of these conditions is detected, a LINE FAIL message is sent to the Galaxy and is stored in the
event log, with the exception of line volts which is monitored for a further period determined by the value
programmed in parameter 51.68. If sufficient line voltage is restored within this period, no event will be stored.
If an attempt is made to set the system or part of the system within this period, the message ALERT - LINE
FAIL 1 ent = CONTINUE SET will be displayed. If ent is pressed the set will continue; if esc is pressed a
line fail will immediately be logged. If the system is unset, the COMM LINE FAIL message appears on the
keypad display and a local alarm is sounded - the keypad buzzers and on-board horn (if connected) are
activated. If the system is set when a line fail condition occurs, the message COMM LINE FAIL will be
displayed when the system is unset. This will be accompanied by a local alarm.
The local alarm is only activated for the first line condition of each unset period. Subsequent line fails are
displayed as COMM LINE FAIL messages on the keypad for the duration of the condition and are re-
corded in the event log.
If an alarm occurs during a line fail condition, then the programmed bell delay for each of the groups is over-
ridden (refer to option 51.02 = PARAMETERS.Bell Delay).
6-118
56.1.11 Fail to Communicate

This option determines how long the on-board telecom module will attempt to gain a connection before the
COMM FAIL message is recorded in the event log.
When an alarm condition or event is to be transmitted to the monitoring station, the Telecom module snatches
the telephone line and dials the programmed telephone numbers. After a successful communication the LED
lights for three seconds, the module then releases the telephone line and reconnects any serially connected
equipment. This procedure is repeated for the second telephone number if the Receiver option has been
programmed as Dual.
NOTE: The Telecom module communicator snatches and holds the line until a successful attempt has been
made to the required telephone numbers or all the repeat attempts have been tried.
If the communication attempt is unsuccessful, the LED flashes rapidly for three seconds. The communicator
then waits for a short period before redialling the number (or the second telephone number if the Receiver
option has been programmed as Dual or Alternate ). When the Fail To Communicate option is left at the
default setting of 120 seconds, a communication Fail will be recognised if there has not been a successful
kiss-off, irrespective of the number of failed attempts. Bell Delay (parameter 51.2) is overridden when this
condition occurs.
The FAIL TO COMM parameter has 5 time values:
1 = 60 seconds; 2 = 120 seconds; 3 = 180 seconds; 4 = 240 seconds; 5 = 300 seconds.
NOTE: If the Receiver option is programmed as Dual then successful transmission must be made to both
telephone numbers.
56.1.12 Remote Access

This option defines when and how Remote Servicing will operate. The options are described as follows.
1 = Access Period
This option determines under what conditions the remote site can be accessed by the Remote operator. There
are four modes:
1 = Off
Remote Servicing access to the Galaxy panel is disabled
2 = All Unset
Access only when all the groups are unset. If groups are not enabled access is available at any time.
3 = Any Set
No access if any of the groups are set. The system must be fully unset, whether groups are enabled or not.
4 = Any Time (default)

Access available at any time
6-119
2 = Mode
1 = Direct Access
This permits access at anytime. Once access is authorized, uploading, downloading and remote servicing can
begin.
There are two methods that an authorized user can use to enable access to the Galaxy via Remote Servicing:
• Timed Access: Remote Servicing must access the Galaxy within 40 minutes of this option being
enabled by the manager. Once connected, there is no time limit on the access period. On terminating the
connection, Remote Servicing can reaccess the system within a 15 minute period of the termination.
• Call Back: the manager instructs the Galaxy to initiate a connection to a PC (with Remote Servicing
software loaded) by dialling one of the numbers programmed in the Call Back option.
3 = Call Back
Up to five telephone numbers can be programmed into this option. Remote Servicing requests the Galaxy to
call back to one of the numbers.
NOTES:
1. If Manager Authorize is selected as the Remote Access Mode, then the telecoms module can only
make outgoing calls - it is disabled from answering all incoming calls. This allows another telephone, fax or
answering machine to be connected to the line without interference from the telecom module when calling into
the premises.
2. If Call Back is selected, then access to the Galaxy is denied unless the call back option in Remote
Servicing is used to initiate the connection.
56.1.13 Call Home

Not used
56.1.14 Alarm Monitoring

This option is used to allow events to be dialled to a PC with Alarm Monitoring software loaded.
The Alarm Monitoring option transmits alarm events information only when all of the alarms have been sent
to the ARC (or all five of the communication attempts have been unsuccessfully made). If a new alarm event
occurs while the system is transmitting in the Alarm Monitoring mode, the transmission is terminated and the
alarms are sent to the ARC using the primary format selected.
The menu structure and programming of the Alarm Monitoring options are identical to the SIA format.
Refer to option 2 = SIA for programming details.
6-120
56.1.15 Backup Module

This option allows another module to become the primary communication module if a line fail is detected on
the on-board telecom. There are 6 options:
1 = Off; 2 = Ext Telecoms; 3 = Ext RS232; 4 = ISDN; 5 = Ethernet; 6 = Int RS232 1.
56.1.16 Force V.21

The Galaxy ISDN Module supports alarm signalling and remote servicing over ISDN B and D channels.
56.3.01 Primary
1 =Default Telephone Number

Telephone number 1 must be entered. This is the main telephone number that the alarms are signalled to. Up
to 22 digits may be entered, including control modifiers. The control modifiers are entered using the and #
keys:
Pause (for two seconds before dialling the next digit). Multiple entries can be made, for example,
entering gives a six second pause.
# Dial tone detect (wait for new dial tone). Each dial tone detect lasts for 15 seconds. Multiple entries can
be made, for example, entering ## gives a 30 second dial tone detect. If a new dial tone is not detected in this
time, then the dialling attempt is aborted. This is counted as a fail to communicate.
The B key is used to erase an existing telephone number. Each press deletes the last digit displayed.
2 = Default Account Number

This is the site identifier. A unique account number must be entered, this can be up to a maximum of six digits
although 4 digits is the standard.
NOTE: Entering the account number into this menu option automatically copies the number to all triggers in
the selected format (DTMF, SIA, Microtech, Contact ID, X.25 Protocol 1 and X.25 Protocol 2).
Any individual account numbers that have been programmed are overwritten.
3 = Dial Type
This option allows selection of the type of ISDN transmission.
NOTE: The available signalling formats are only compatible with certain dial types. If a dial type is selected
which does not match the currently programmed format a warning will be displayed momentarily to
indicate the mismatch.
1 = Analogue
This selection uses voice mode to transmit data to ISDN or PSTN networks. Default selection for ISDN
B-channel communications.
2 = Digital
The ISDN line is capable of transmitting alarm data in a digital format with a speed of 64K bit per
second.(This option is not yet available)
6-125
3 = X.25
The X.25 dialling type allows transmission of data via an X.25 network to compatible X.25 receivers. The
ISDN Module uses the D-channel of the ISDN line to set up the connection. After set-up the connection will
remain activated. On selection of the X.25 dial type a number of configuration options will be made available.
1 = TEI (Terminal Endpoint Identifier)

Since it is possible to connect several devices to one ISDN line, like X.25 ISDN Module but also X.25
pay systems for an ATM card, the local telecom provider uses the TEI to identify the devices. The local
telecom provider issues the TEI number. The value can vary from 00 to 63.
2 = LCGN (Logical Channel Group Number)/ 3 = LCN (Logical Channel Number)

The X.25 data network uses the LCGN and LCN to identify the users that are connected. Normally the
users are connected directly to the X.25 network. To allow a high number of users the LCN can vary from
000 to 255. The LCGN can multiply this number of users with 15. The LCGN can vary from 00 to 15.
When using X.25 over ISDN the LCGN is set to 00 and the LCN is set to 001.
4 = Polling Rate
The polling rate is used to monitor the X.25 connection end to end. A poll is sent from the ISDN Module
to the X.25 receiver. The receiver also monitors if the poll is received within the specified limit. The interval
between the polls can be programmed using this parameter.
5 = CUG (Closed User Group)

Depending on the country of use and the local telecom provider the CUG index is used. The telecom
provider can issue a closed number group to a certain monitoring station. The extra subscription for X.25
use over the ISDN line is often available in several packages depending on the use of the X.25 facility. The
value can vary from 0 to 9.
4 = RAM
Option not used
4 = Format
The ISDN module provides seven signalling formats:
1 = DTMF
2 = SIA
3 = Microtech
4 = Contact ID
5 = Robofon
6 = X.25 Protocol 1 (SIA based format compatible with the OA BX X.25 receiver)
7 = X.25 Protocol 2 (SIA based format compatible with the Alphatronics RC 4000 receiver)
NOTE: The DTMF, SIA, Microtech and Contact ID formats are identical in structure and programming to
the Telecom Module menu.
NOTE: X.25 Protocol 1 and Protocol 2 are similar in programming structure to the SIA protocol.
6-126
56.3.02 Secondary
The secondary option is available to support Dual and Alternate dialling to a second destination receiver. If
using alternate mode both the dial type and format must be identical to the values programmed for the primary
number.
1 = Default Telephone Number

The programming is identical to Telephone Number 1.
2 = Default Account Number

Refer to Primary format
3 = Dial Type
Refer to Primary Dial Type (except X.25 should be option not available).
4 = Format
Refer to Primary Format. It is possible to assign different formats to both the Primary and Secondary num-
bers, however, when using the alternative signalling option the format must be identical.
5 = Copy Primary (1 to 2)
Copies Primary Program to Secondary Program, for ease of programming.
6 = Alternate
If enabled, signalling is attempted alternately to primary and secondary numbers until successful transmission to
either is achieved. If enabled, the user will be requested to copy the primary programming to the secondary
programming to ensure both paths are configured identically.
56.3.03 ISDN Type

Two types of ISDN lines are available on the EURO ISDN network; Point to Multipoint and Point to Point.
This option allows selection of the type to be used.
1 = Point to Multipoint (default)

This configuration is used when more than one ISDN system is connected to the ISDN bus. To ensure that the
ISDN module responds to incoming calls from Remote Servicing only a specific MSN (Multiple Subscriber
Number) should be entered. The MSN number should be provided by the Telecom provider.
NOTE: All devices not programmed with an MSN number will also respond to incoming calls.
6-127
2 = Point to Point
Only one device is allowed on the ISDN bus. In this configuration a TEI number must be programmed. The
default is 0. Since only one device is allowed the ISDN module will act differently when programmed to Point
to Point. The hardware ISDN snatch relay is always activated before the module starts a dialling sequence.
After all the alarms are transmitted the relay will be deactivated and the customer PABX, if connected, will be
connected to the ISDN network again. During the dialling sequence it is not possible to use the PABX for an
outside call. Upon an incoming call for the module, the relay will be activated directly switching the PABX off
the ISDN line, after which the ISDN module will seize the line. To ensure correct functionality of the PABX
and the ISDN module always connect the PABX to the ISDN out ports. The phone numbers that are avail-
able on a Point-to-Point line often only vary in the last 2 digits e.g.123401 ~ 123409. To handle incoming
calls from Remote Servicing one phone number need to programmed into the ISDN module. This specific
phone number cannot be used by the PABX because the ISDN module will seize the incoming call directly.
NOTE: X.25 in combination with a Point-to-Point ISDN line is not possible.
56.3.04 ISDN Snatch

In order to ensure maximum security the ISDN Module must be able to make a call in every circumstance.
The ISDN Module offers both hardware and software line seizure options.
1 = Hardware
The hardware snatch is performed using a relay. This relay can switch the other devices off when the ISDN
Module needs to communicate. In order to switch the other devices off it is important that these other devices
are connected to the ISDN out connection of the module. Some ISDN devices are not willing to release a B-
channel even when the network indicates that the B-channel must be released. When this is detected or a
tamper causes interference on the ISDN bus communication the relay will be activated.
A number of configurations are available for the hardware snatch function.
1 = Always Snatch
A hardware snatch is always attempted irrespective of the software snatch programming.
2 = Never Snatch
A hardware snatch is never attempted.
3 = Snatch if Fail
A hardware snatch is attempted if the software snatch fails or the software snatch is disabled.
2 = Software
The software in the ISDN module monitors every communication on the ISDN bus including those of other
devices. The software snatch enables the possibility to clear a B-channel when both are occupied at that time.
When both B-channels are occupied the ISDN module always clears the call that started first.
Certain ISDN devices will not release the B-channel when a software snatch is attempted. In this case, de-
pending on the programming of option 56.3.4.1 = Hardware, a hardware snatch can be attempted to ensure
a channel is made available to the ISDN Module. Software snatch can be enabled or disabled.
6-128
56.3.05 Autotest
An engineer test can be automatically transmitted to the Monitoring Station at programmed intervals.
1 = Start Time
test transmissions are offset by the value assigned in the Intervals option.
2 = Intervals
This option determines the period between engineer test transmissions following the Start Time, the program-
mable range is 0 – 99 hours.
NOTES:
1. If the Test Interval is 0 (default) the Autotest is disabled — even if a Start Time has been assigned.
2. To disable Autotest enter 00:00 (default); no transmissions of test signals can be sent at midnight.
3 = Interval Test
This option can either be disabled or enabled to allow an engineer test to be carried out.
4 = Group Condition
The Group Condition determines the status that each group must satisfy before the Autotest is transmitted.
This can be used to prevent an Autotest from being signalled when groups are set on the system. On selecting
this option press the relevant number keys to toggle the status of the groups and press the ent key to accept
the programming. The available group status conditions are:
S = Set - group must be set to allow autotest transmission;
U = Unset - group must be unset to allow autotest transmission;
– = Set or unset - autotest transmission is independent of the group status.
56.3.06 Engineer Test

An engineer test can be sent to the Monitoring Station once the Account Number and the Telephone
Number 1 have been entered, to ensure that the station is receiving transmissions sent from the ISDN
module.
On selecting this option a warning message is displayed on the keypad. Press the ent key to send the engineer
test.
The test attempts to transmit once for each selection of the option. If the test is not successfully transmitted,
the communicator does not attempt to resend. An unsuccessful transmission is not counted as a FAIL TO
COMMUNICATE.
56.03.07 Line Fail

The ISDN module continually monitors the ISDN line that it is connected to. In addition to the DC volts
monitoring of the ISDN line, the ISDN Module can be programmed to use layer 1 check monitoring. The
layer 1 option will activate the ISDN line every 40 seconds and monitor the activation response from the
6-129
ISDN network. This activation will remain for about 20 seconds. When X.25 is used the layer 1 check is not
performed because the ISDN line is already activated continuously.
The ISDN module can be configured to report a line fail when either one or a combination of the volts and
layer 1 checks fail. The options are:
1 = None
No line monitoring
2 = Line Volts
DC volts monitored only
3 = Layer 1
Layer 1 monitored only
4 = Volts and Layer 1

Volts and layer 1 both monitored. Line Fail activated if both fail.
5 = Volts or Layer 1
Volts and Layer 1 both monitored. Line Fail activated if either fail.
56.3.08 Fail to Comm

This option determines the number of unsuccessful communication attempts before the COMM FAIL mes-
sage is recorded in the event log.
When an alarm condition or event is to be transmitted to the monitoring station, the ISDN module snatches the
telephone line and dials the programmed telephone numbers. This procedure is repeated for the second
telephone number if the Receiver option has been programmed as Dual.
NOTE: The ISDN module communicator snatches and holds the line until a successful attempt has been
made to the required telephone numbers or all the repeat attempts have been tried.
If the communication attempt is unsuccessful, the communicator waits for a short period before redialling the
number (or the second telephone number if the Receiver option has been programmed as Dual or Alter-
nate). When the Fail To Communicate option is left at the default setting of 3, if the first three dialling at-
tempts are unsuccessful, the COMM FAIL message is recorded in the event log and the alarms to be trans-
mitted are erased from the buffer.
6-130
56.3.09 Remote Access

This option defines when and how Remote Servicing will operate. The options are described as follows.
1 = Access Time
This option determines the type of access that is available to the Remote Servicing operator. There are four
modes:
1 = Off:
Galaxy Gold access to the Galaxy panel is disabled
2 = All Unset:
Access only when all the groups are unset. If groups are not enabled access is available at any time.
3 = Any Set:
No access if any of the groups are set. The system must be fully unset, whether groups are enabled or not.
4 = Any Time (default):

Access available at any time
2 = Mode
1 = Direct
This permits access to be initiated from Remote Servicing.
If this option is selected here are two methods that an authorized user can use to enable access to the Galaxy
via Remote Servicing:
Timed Access:
Remote Servicing must access the Galaxy within 40 minutes of this option being enabled by the manager.
Once connected, there is no time limit on the access period. On terminating the connection, Remote Serv-
icing can re-access the system within a 15 minute period of the termination.
Call Back:
The manager instructs the Galaxy to initiate a connection to a PC (with Remote Servicing software loaded)
by dialling one of the numbers programmed in the Call Back option.
Refer to option 47 = Remote Access for details of how to initiate the Manager authorized connection.
6-131
3 = Call Back
Up to five telephone numbers can be programmed into this option. Remote Servicing requests the Galaxy
to call back to one of the numbers.
NOTES:
1. If Manager Authorize is selected as the Remote Access Mode, then the ISDN module can only
make outgoing calls - it is disabled from answering all incoming calls.
2. If Call Back is selected, then access to the Galaxy is denied unless the call back option in Remote
Servicing is used to initiate the connection.

This is identical to the Microtech format communications (56.1.3). This option is used to allow alarms to be
dialled to a PC with Alarm Monitoring software loaded as well as to an ARC using the Primary and/or Sec-
ondary formats.

Figure 6-9. Ethernet Module Programming Structure
6-133
The Ethernet module allows the Galaxy control panel to communicate over Ethernet local and wide area
networks, using both UDP and TCP Ethernet protocols. The Ethernet module supports both alarm signalling
and remote servicing. Features included in the Ethernet module communications are data encryption and path
supervision between the Ethernet module and alarm receiving applications.
56.4.01 Module Config

Each Ethernet module is pre-programmed with a unique MAC address, which identifies the module on the
network. However in order for the module to communicate with other applications an IP address should be
assigned to the unit. The information programmed in this section is required for other applications on the
network to recognise the Ethernet module.
1 = IP Address
This is the IP address of the Ethernet module. This must be a unique, static IP address. The address will be in
the form XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. The dot separator will be automatically added after each sequence of three
numbers or can be manually added by pressing the * key.
An example of a valid IP address is 192.0.1.152.
This address should be provided by your IT administrator
2 = Site Name
This option is not used at this time
3 = Gateway IP
When using the Ethernet module over a wide area network the IP address of the gateway router connected to
the Ethernet local area network must be entered in this field. The format of this address is identical to the IP
address of the Ethernet module.
This information should be supplied by the IT administrator
4 = Network Mask
The network mask identifies the class of network being used. This field masks off the parts of the gateway IP
address which, are common and not required for specific identification of the Ethernet module.
This information should be supplied by the IT administrator.
56.4.02 = Alarm Reporting

This option allows selection of the alarm signalling format used to transmit the events. This option also controls
the types of events, which are sent and the destination/identification for each independent group.
1 = Format
This is the signalling format of the receiver and has the following two formats:
1 = SIA (0-4) Security Industries Association

The SIA format can be programmed between levels 0 and 4 and provides a protocol that transmits detailed
information including textual descriptors, to a SIA compatible receiver or PC loaded with suitable receiver
software.
6-134
The SIA format is capable of transmitting the Galaxy events indicated in Appendix D of this manual.
Refer to Appendix C of this manual for the detailed breakdown of the SIA event structure for each level.
On selecting the SIA format, the keypad prompts for the required SIA level to be entered, there are five SIA
levels available:
• Level 0 (default) – basic event information with 4 digit account numbers
• 1 – as level 0 plus 6 digit account numbers
• 2 – as level 1 but with event modifiers
• 3 – as level 2 but with text descriptors
• 4 – as level 3 but also enables the SIA control command feature (refer option 08 SIA control)
1 = Trigger Events
When the SIA level has been selected press the ent key. The keypad displays the first trigger event and it’s
On/Off status (see table 25 for the list of available triggers, and Appendix B for the events which are
controlled by each trigger). The triggers control the events, which are transmitted. If the trigger is set to On,
any events logged, which are controlled by the trigger will be transmitted. If the trigger is set to Off, the
events controlled by the trigger will not be transmitted. Step through the trigger events using the A and B
keys.
1 = Status
To modify the trigger on/off status select the trigger to be modified using the A and B keys and press the
ent key. To program the status to On press 1, to set it to Off press 0. Alternatively use the A/B keys to
toggle between On and Off. To accept the new status, press the ent key. This will automatically return
the display to the previous menu level.
Programming the SIA format with groups enabled
If groups have been enabled on the system (refer to option 63.1), then the SIA format menu alters slightly to
support the independent event trigger programming for each group.
1 = Trigger Events
On selecting the SIA level the menu enters the Trigger Events option. Press the ent key to display the first
trigger event; the keypad shows the trigger, the trigger status and the groups assigned.
To modify the trigger event select the required event using the A and B keys and press the ent key. The
1=Status option is then displayed. If the status requires to be modified press the ent key.
1 = Status
To program the status to On press 1, to set it to Off press 0. Alternatively use the A/B keys to toggle
between On and Off. To accept the new status, press the ent key. This will automatically return the
display to the previous menu level.
2 = Groups
If groups have been enabled on the system (refer option 63.1), then the groups can be assigned to each
event trigger. This means that the events have to occur in assigned groups before they are signalled. To
modify the groups assigned to a specific trigger press the ent key from the 2=Groups menu option. The
display will show the groups and indicate whether it is assigned (Y) or not assigned (N) to the group. To
assign or unassign a group from a specific trigger press the number key corresponding to the group
6-135
number. The display will show the new status. To accept the new status, press the ent key and return to
the previous menu level. If the Galaxy panel supports more than 8 groups use the A and B keys to
scroll through all available groups.
Groups Setting
NOTE: This option is only displayed if the groups have been enabled (refer option 63.1)
Each of the events are signalled to Primary IP/Port Numbers programmed in menu option 56.4.2.2 and the
account number programmed in 56.4.2.4. However, each group can be programmed to transmit event
details to a unique IP address and port number, with a unique account number. On selecting the 2=Group
Settings option the first group is displayed. Select the required group to be modified using the A/B keys
and press ent. 1=Account No. is displayed
1 = Account No.
By default the account number programmed in option 56.4.2.4 will be entered in this field. To assign a
unique account number to the group selected use the B key to erase any existing numbers and enter the
new number. The account number should be between four and six digits long. Press the ent key to save
the programming and return to the previous menu level.
To modify the IP address which events from a specific group will be signalled to press the A or 2 keys,
then press ent.
2 = IP Address
By default the IP address programmed in option 56.4.2.2 will be displayed. To programme a new IP
address use the B key to erase any existing programming and enter the new IP address to which the
events are to be sent. Press ent to save the new address and return to the previous menu level.
To modify the Port No. which events from a specific group will be sent press either the A or 3 keys,
then press ent.
3 = Port No.
By default the Port No. programmed in option 56.4.2.2 will be displayed. To programme a new port
number use the B key to erase any existing programming and enter the new port number. Press the ent
key to save the new address and return to the previous menu.
2 = Microtech
Microtech format is a protocol that transmits detailed point id information to a PC, which has the Galaxy
Alarm Monitoring application installed and running.
The level of information supplied is similar to SIA level 3.
The menu structure and programming of the options are identical to the SIA format. Refer 1=SIA for pro-
gramming details.
2 = Primary IP
The Primary IP defines the receiver destination details for the primary alarm transmission path. The destination
is made up of an IP address and a port number. To programme the IP address press ent. If groups are ena-
bled the information programmed for the primary IP and port numbers is automatically copied to all groups.
1 = IP Address
Enter the IP address of the primary receiver. The address will be in the form XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. The dot
separator will be automatically added after each sequence of three numbers or can be manually added by
6-136
pressing the * key. To save the address and return to the previous menu level press ent. To programme the
port number of the primary destination receiver press either 2 or A, then press ent.
Note: This number must be programmed, even if groups have been enabled and all groups have a pro-
grammed IP address. This is the IP address used for all system wide events.
2 = Port No.
To erase any previously programmed numbers press the B key. Enter the port number of the primary destina-
tion receiver. The default value is 10002. Press ent to save the programmed number.
3 = Secondary IP
The Ethernet module supports signalling to more than one receiver destination. The Secondary IP defines the
receiver destination details for the secondary alarm transmission path. The destination is made up of an IP
address and a port number. To programme the IP address press ent.
1 = IP Addresss
Enter the IP address of the secondary receiver. The address will be in the form XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. The
dot separator will be automatically added after each sequence of three numbers or can be manually added by
pressing the * key. To save the address and return to the previous menu level press ent. To programme the
port number of the secondary destination receiver press either 2 or A, then press ent.
2 = Port No.
To erase any previously programmed numbers press the B key. Enter the port number of the secondary
destination receiver. The default value is 10002. Press ent to save the programmed number.
4 = Account No.
The account number identifies the Galaxy system to the receiver when signals are transmitted. Every signal
transmitted contains the account number. The account number should be between 4 and 6 digits long. After
entering the account number press ent to save and return to the previous menu level.
If groups are enabled the account number entered in this field is automatically copied to all groups.
5 = Receiver
This option determines the paths, which will be used for alarm signalling.
1 = Single
If selected the Primary IP destination and/or specific group IP programming is used to signal alarms. If 1=Sin-
gle is selected and a Secondary IP is programmed the Secondary IP destination will be used in the event of a
failure to the Primary IP. A Fail to Comm will be logged against the Primary alarm transmission path.
2 = Dual
If selected and if a secondary IP is programmed events are sent to both the primary and secondary IP destina-
tions.
6 = Alarm Monitoring
This option provides a further alarm transmission path specifically for events being sent to the Galaxy Alarm
Monitoring application.
6-137
The keypad displays the first trigger event and it’s On/Off status (see table 25 for the list of available triggers,
and Appendix B for the events which are controlled by each trigger). The triggers control the events, which
are transmitted. If the trigger is set to On, any events logged, which are controlled by the trigger will be trans-
mitted. If the trigger is set to Off, the events controlled by the trigger will not be transmitted. Step through the
trigger events using the A and B keys.
1 = Trigger
Press the ent key to display the first trigger event; the keypad shows the trigger, the trigger status and the
groups assigned.
To modify the trigger event select the required event using the A and B keys and press the ent key. The
1=Status option is then displayed. If the status requires to be modified press the ent key.
1 = Status
To program the status to On press 1, to set it to Off press 0. Alternatively use the A/B keys to toggle
between On and Off. To accept the new status, press the ent key. This will automatically return the display
to the previous menu level.
2 = Groups
If groups have been enabled on the system (refer option 63.1), then the groups can be assigned to each
event trigger. This means that the events have to occur in assigned groups before they are signalled. To
modify the groups assigned to a specific trigger press the ent key from the 2=Groups menu option. The
display will show the groups and indicate whether it is assigned (Y) or not assigned (N) to the group. To
assign or unassign a group from a specific trigger press the number key corresponding to the group
number. The display will show the new status. To accept the new status, press the ent key and return to the
previous menu level. If the Galaxy panel supports more than 8 groups use the A and B keys to scroll
through all available groups.
2 = Account No.
This option is required to assign a unique account number to the events signalled to Alarm Monitoring. This
data must be entered before any events are sent to Alarm Monitoring via this option. The account number can
be a maximum of 6 digits. Press the ent key to save the programming and return to the previous menu level.
3 = IP Address
To programme a new or modify the Alarm Monitoring IP address use the B key to erase any existing pro-
gramming and enter the new IP address to which the events are to be sent. Press ent to save the new address
and return to the previous menu level.
4 = Port No.
To programme a new port number use the B key to erase any existing programming and enter the new port
number. Press the ent key to save the new address and return to the previous menu.
7 = Heartbeat
The Ethernet module supports path supervision to ensure the alarm transmission paths are available to transmit
event when required. This option, if programmed determines the frequency, which the alarm transmission paths
are checked.
6-138
1 = Interval
Enter the interval within which a path supervision signal (heartbeat) must be received from each alarm trans-
mission path (refer option 56.4.7.2 Line Fail – Signalling Path). If a heartbeat is not received within the pro-
grammed interval a line fail condition will be activated in the panel. The Line Fail event will indicate which path
has failed (Primary, Secondary or Alarm Monitoring).
The default period is 30 minutes.
8 = Protocol
The Ethernet module is capable if signalling using either TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) or UDP (Uni-
versal Datagram Protocol). Earlier versions of Ethernet module, Alarm Monitoring and Remote Servicing only
supported the TCP protocol.
NOTE: If communicating with V3.26 Alarm Monitoring or V6.26 Remote Servicing the TCP option should
be selected.
If encryption is required for alarm signalling the UDP protocol should be selected.
Irrespective of the programming in this option Remote Servicing and SIA control command protocol will
always use the TCP protocol.
0 = UDP
When this option is selected all alarm signalling from the Ethernet module will use the UDP format.
1 = TCP
When this option is selected all alarm signalling from the Ethernet module will use the TCP format.
56.4.03 = Remote Access

The Ethernet module supports remote servicing of the Galaxy alarm panel. The programming options in this
section control when remote access can be granted and whether access is initiated from the panel or the
Remote Servicing PC.
1 = Access Period
This option determines when the Galaxy panel can be accessed remotely.
1 = Off
Remote Servicing access to the Galaxy panel is disabled.
2 = All Unset
Remote Servicing access is only granted when all groups or the complete system are unset.
3 = Any Set
Remote Servicing access will only be granted if any of the groups or the complete system are set.
4 = Any Time (default)

Access available at any time.
6-139
2 = Mode
This option controls access authorization and whether the remote session is initiated from (Panel or PC).
1 = Direct Access
This permits access at any time (in conjunction with Access period). Access is initiated from Remote Servic-
ing. Once access is authorized/initiated, uploading, downloading and remote servicing can begin.
This option requires authorization from the site manager in order to gain remote access to the Galaxy panel.
There are two methods that the manager can use to enable access to the Galaxy via Remote servicing.
Timed Access – Remote Servicing must access the Galaxy panel within 40 minutes of this option being ena-
bled by the manager (Option 47.1.2.0). Once connected there is no time limit on the access period. On
terminating the connection, Remote Servicing can reaccess the system within a 15 minute period of the termi-
nation.
Call Back – the manager instructs the Galaxy panel to initiate a connection to the Remote Servicing PC (Use
option 47.1.2.1) by selecting one of the Call back IP addresses programmed into the system
1 = Call Back IP 1-5

There are 5 possible IP address/Port number destinations, which can be programmed for Remote Servic-
ing access. This allows communication with up to five different Remote Servicing locations.
1 = IP Address
Enter the IP address of the PC running the Remote Servicing application
2 = Port No.
Enter the Port Number allocated to Remote Servicing on the PC (Default is 10001)
56.4.04 = Autotest
An engineer test can be automatically transmitted to the receiving station at programmed intervals.
1 = Start Time
test transmissions are sent periodically. The frequency of each test is controlled by the 2=Interval option.
2 = Interval
This option determines the period between automatic engineer test transmissions following the Start Time. The
programmable range is 0-99 hours.
56.4.05 = Engineer Test

An engineer test can be sent on each of the transmission paths once the appropriate IP address/port no, and
account numbers have been programmed into the system. This allows the installation engineer to ensure that
6-140
the receiving station is correctly receiving the events from the Ethernet module.
On selecting this option a warning message is displayed on the keypad, WARNING!!! ENT=SEND MES-
SAGE. Press the ent key to send the engineer test.
56.4.06 = Fail to Comm

This option determines the number of unsuccessful communication attempts before the COMM FAIL mes-
sage is recorded in the event log.
When an event is to be transmitted to the monitoring station, the Ethernet module attempts to initiate a session
with the destination receiver for each programmed transmission path. If the programmed number of attempts is
reached a Fail to Comm message will be logged. The logged event will include which path has failed.
Note: if the receiver option is programmed as Dual then a successful transmission must be made to both
primary and secondary to be considered a successful transmission.
56.4.07 = Line Fail

The line fail option controls which Ethernet connections are monitored. The Ethernet module can be pro-
grammed to monitor both the network availability and the programmed transmission paths between the
Ethernet module and receiver applications.
Line fail events (whether network or transmission path) must be present for the time programmed in parameter
51.68 before the event is activated. If a line fail is present and an attempt is made to set the system within
parameter 51.68 delay period, the line fail will immediately be logged and indicated.
1 = Network
This option monitors the connection between the Ethernet module and the local network.
0 = Off
If programmed to off, the connection between the Ethernet module and local network will not be monitored. If
the local network is not available or the Ethernet module is disconnected, no line fail will be indicated.
1 = Available
If programmed as available then the connection between the Ethernet module and the local Ethernet network
is monitored. If the Ethernet module is disconnected from the network or the local network is not available a
Line Fail event will be activated at the panel. The Line Fail event logged will indicate that the Line Fail was as
a result of a network failure.
2 = Signal Path
This option determines which signalling paths, will be monitored by the Ethernet module. Monitoring is
achieved by transmission of a path supervision signal (heartbeat) between the receiver application and the
Ethernet module. The Ethernet module must receive a path supervision signal at least as often as the frequency
programmed in option 56.4.2.7 (Alarm Reporting Heartbeat). If the signal is not received a line fail condition
will become present. The line fail event will indicate the path which failed and the destination IP address of that
path.
NOTE: If groups are enabled a failure on the primary path will not provide specific IP information.
6-141
Options are available to select specific paths or all paths.
1 = Primary
When selected the Ethernet module will only monitor the primary transmission path. All other transmission
paths will not be monitored.
2 = Secondary
When selected the Ethernet module will only monitor the secondary transmission path. All other transmission
3 = Alarm Mon.
When selected the Ethernet module will only monitor the Alarm Mon. transmission path. All other transmission
4 = Any
When selected the Ethernet module monitors all transmission paths. If a supervision failure is detected in any
of the paths a line fail condition will be activated.
5 = All
When selected the Ethernet module monitors all transmission paths. If a supervision failure is detected in all of
the paths a line fail condition will be activated.
56.4.08 = SIA Control

When using the SIA control command protocol for integration purposes the IP address of the computer
sending the SIA control commands should be entered in this field to ensure that only commands from a com-
puter with the programmed IP address will be recognised by the Ethernet module.
1 = IP Address
The address will be in the form XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. The dot separator will be automatically added after
each sequence of three numbers or can be manually added by pressing the * key.
56.4.09 = Encrypt
The Ethernet module supports a high level 128bit encryption algorithm for all communication options. This
option allows encryption to be enabled/disabled for each of the communication options.

2 = B-key
The programming of the B key is identical to that of the A key.
3 = Buzzer Mimic
This option determines whether the keypad buzzer mimics the function of the programmed keypad output
(refer to option 53 = PROGRAM OUTPUTS). The default function of the keypad output is Entry/Exit
Horn and the default Mimic defaults to On, therefore the keypad buzzer operates as an Entry/Exit Horn at
factory setting.
To disable the keypad buzzer from mimicking the output select 0 = Off.
4 = Backlighting
This option determines when the keypad backlighting switches on and off.
0= always off,
1= always on (default),

4= switches on when keys are pressed;
switches off after keypad timeout and when menu is exited.
5 = Keypad Mute
This option allows the bleep which normally accompanies a valid keypress to be disabled. This features
improves security and reduces tampering with the keypad when it is located in a public place.
When the Mute option is set to 1 = On, whenever the keypad banner is displayed the keypresses are silent,
there are no s displayed as each key is pressed and the keypad backlighting remains off. As soon as a valid
code is entered the keypad returns to normal operation - the keys are accompanied by bleeps and the
backlighting switched on. The Mute option defaults to disabled (0 = Off).
Keypad Disable
A keypad may be disabled by programming the address of the keypad as a link destination (refer to menu
option 54 - Links). When the source of the link is activated the keypad does not respond to any keypress,
however, the LCD, keypad buzzer and any keypad output device acts as normal.

7 = Keypad Groups
Each keypad can be assigned to selected groups; the keypad then responds only to user codes that have a
group common to it and only displays alarm information on the groups assigned.
Entering a user code which is assigned to all groups, on a keypad which is only assigned to a single group,
allows access to all of the user’s groups. The user is not restricted by the groups that are assigned to the
keypad as long as there is one group common to both. This means that a keypad assigned only to group 1, for
example, can be used to set groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 by a code with all of these groups allocated.
Keypad Group Restriction

To restrict access only to groups that are common to both the user and the keypad, press the key when
assigning groups to the keypad. This means that when a user with access to groups 1, 2 and 3 sets the system
on a keypad assigned to groups 2, 3 and 4, only the common groups (groups 2 and 3) are set.
Assigning Keypad Groups

On selecting the Keypad Groups option, the groups currently allocated to the keypad are displayed (the default
is all groups assigned). Pressing the group number toggles the group assigned to the keypad.

Option 62 – Full Test

The Full Test option allows two zones to be selected and tested under full set conditions. Activating the
selected zone results in a full alarm condition, including remote signalling. Constantly active zones (Security,
24 Hours, PA, Fire) remain active throughout the Full Test; an activation generates the appropriate local or
full alarm depending on the zone.
On selecting the Full Test option, the address and function of the first zone on the system is displayed. Move
to the required zone by pressing the A or B keys or by entering the zone address. Press the ent key. An
option is then given to choose a second confirm zone. If you press the A (YES) key, select a second required
zone by pressing the ent key. If you press the B (NO) key, the system begins the full setting procedure.
Activating the zone results in a full alarm condition. To end the full test unset the system.

64 - Assemble Zones Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Option 64 – Assemble Zone

The Assemble Zones option allows 2 zone functions to be customised to the user’s requirements; these are
the 1 Custom-A and 2 Custom-B zones. Once a custom zone function has been assembled, it is assigned to
zones using option 52 = PROGRAM ZONES.
Programming a Custom Zone

The flexibility of this menu option allows for an extensive range of possibilities. It is therefore important that
the engineer is fully aware of the system and has a clear picture of what is required of the new zone function.
The procedure for assembling a custom zone has 4 stages:
1. Outputs

Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual 65 - Timers (cont’d)
The Galaxy Dimension control panel provides programming of timer schedules on a weekly basis. Each event
corresponds to an ON or an OFF time. The state of the schedule is ON or OFF depending on the last event
that was reached.
Timers can be assigned to:
• Individual users to disable them
• Individual doors to lock them
• Individual groups for autoset
• Outputs for automatic activation.
NOTE: The ON period is the secure period for a particular schedule when users will be unable to gain access
to allocated areas and the Autoset and Lockout features for allocated groups are enabled.
The Timers menu Structure is as follows:
65.1 = Weekly Schedule

A weekly schedule consists of a selection of daily time programs for each day of the week. The state of the
weekly schedule is ON or OFF depending on the last event that was reached. Up to 67 weekly schedules
with 28 time slots are available for programming depending on panel variant
The weekly schedules are used to control various panel features:
• Auto setting
• Lockout times
• User access times
• Timer Outputs
1 = Name
A maximum 12 character alpha-numeric name can be entered here for a weekly schedule.
2 = Status
The status of the each of the timers is shown here whether 0 = OFF or 1 = ON. To change the status press
the A or B key or press 1 to select ON or 2 to select OFF.
3 = Events
This option programs the weekly timer events with Day (Mon-Sun) and ON/OFF times.
NOTE: The number of weekly timer events is dependent on panel variant.
Programming Timer Events

NOTE: The Timer Status can be switched On and Off by users via option 45 = TIMER CONTROL.
4 = Holiday Period
This is the holiday period programmed in 45.2.1. Timer Control.Holidays.Modify Dates. Up to 32 holiday
periods can be viewed with this option.
5 = Holiday Schedule
This is an alternative schedule that is used if option 45.2. Timer Control.Holidays is activated. The system
defines a selection of holiday dates (65.1.4) and then a schedule of times can be used on those dates under
this option. Up to 67 holiday schedules can be selected.
6 = Pattern Day
The Pattern Day can only be allocated by the engineer. This option determines the programmed timers that
are effective when the Weekend Day option (45.6.1) is selected by the user; the timers of the selected
Pattern Day are adopted by the days selected for weekend work.
On selecting this option the programmed Pattern Day is displayed; the default is 1 = MON. Use the A or B
keys to select the required day or days and press the ent key to accept the programming and return to the
previous menu level:
1 = MON
2 = TUE
3 = WED
4 = THU
5 = FRI
6-170
65.2 = Timer Outputs

Once the times have been programmed and the Status is set to 1=On, the Timer-A or Timer-B outputs
53.29 and 53.30 are activated at the On times and deactivated at the Off times programmed in
65.1=Weekly Schedule. User codes that they have been attributed to a Time Zone A or B are invalid
between an On time and the next Off time for the appropriate timer.
65.3 = Autoset
Each group can be programmed with up to 67 (dependent on panel variant) Autoset times over a 7 day
period. These can be combined in any order of On and Off times as required.
When the system has been set by the Autoset function, outputs programmed as Autoset (refer to option 53 =
PROGRAM OUTPUTS) are activated; the Set outputs are also activated.
Programming Autoset
If groups are enabled (refer to option 63 = OPTIONS) the keypads prompts for the group that the autoset
time is to be allocated to. Press the A or B keys to step through the groups until the required number is dis-
played and press the ent key.
NOTE: The group can be directly selected by entering the group number. Larger Galaxy systems have 32
groups; these are displayed in blocks of eight groups, sub-divided into A, B, C and D;

A1-8 1-8
B1-8 9-16
C1-8 17-24
D1-8 25-32
Table 6-30. Groups
block of eight groups is displayed; use keys 1–8 to assign the relevant group in the current block to the zone;
press the ent key to accept the selection.
Account Group Autosetting

The Galaxy Dimension allows Account Group autosetting. This means that several groups can be bound
together into one account group and, instead of a sending a normal CA event, the panel sends a CL event.
Refer to menu option 56.1.2.2.2 = Communications.Internal Telecoms.Format.SIA.Group
Settings.Account No.
6-171
There are five stages to programming the Autoset function:
1. Autoset Status
0 = Off (default)
1 = On
2 = Monitor - if selected, the setting and unsetting of the group is monitored:
• if not set manually before the On time, then the Set Late output is activated
• if unset before the Off time, then the Unset Early output is activated.
2. Prewarning
1 = Period
0 – 50 minutes (default 30 minutes):
2 = Audible (this can be turned ON or OFF)
This option determines the warning period given to users prior to the system autosetting. Outputs programmed
as Prewarning activate during the prewarning period. The output normally emits a constant tone, however if
an extension is not possible, then a pulsed tone is emitted and prewarn activates at the Autoset time. At the
end of the prewarning period, the system begins the timed setting procedure.
NOTE: Pressing the esc key at any time during the prewarning resets and restarts the prewarning count-
down. If more than one group is in the prewarning period, each group can be viewed by pressing *
and > or * and <.
3. Extension
0 – 400 minutes (default 30 minutes):
An autoset Extension can be assigned to each group on the system - programmed with different values per
group. Entering a user code during the Prewarning delays the autosetting by the period assigned to the
Extension.
NOTE: The Late Working option (refer to option 45 = TIMERS) authorizes an Extension in advance of
the Prewarning period.
Late Set appears if the system is not set after prewarn time plus 300 seconds (longest possible exit delay)
An Extension cannot be granted once the timed setting procedure begins.
4. Force Set
0 = Off (default)
1 = On
As a factory preset, any zone that is open at the start of the setting procedure - except Final, Exit, Entry, or
Push Set, (or Secure Final or Part Final when acting as a Final) - is omitted by the autoset routine whether
or not it is omittable. If one of the above listed zones is open and is non-omittable, on expiry of the time
programmed in the Fail-to-Set parameter the Fail-to-Set outputs are activated along with a full alarm.
6-172
5. Weekly Schedule
This option assigns a programmed weekly schedule for each group when the selected group is automatically
switched On (Autoset) and Off (Autounset).
When the keyswitch is activated twice during the exit time of an autoset, the autoset is temporarily cancelled
for a few seconds, then it restarts the exit time causing the panel to reset.
Operating a keyswitch zone type during the pre-warn period of an autoset will start a Force Set. If you then
activate the switch again (i.e. unset with keyswitch) before the panel sets, the pre-warn continues on the
autoset.
NOTE: When the keyswitch is activated the second time to take panel back into pre-warn, it can be up to
10 seconds before the pre-warn tones at the keypad start up again.
Lockout
Each group can be allocated with up to 67 (dependent on panel variant) Lockout schedules over a seven day
period. These can be combined in any order of On and Off times as required.
If Lockout has been assigned to a group, the group is locked-out at the Lockout On time or when the group
sets - whichever occurs first. Outputs programmed as Lockout are active while the system is locked out - this
will not always correspond to the times assigned to the Lockout depending on whether the group sets prior to
Lockout On. When a group is locked-out the setting status indicates that it cannot be unset by displaying
an L.
G R O U P S 12345678
LLLUULLS
6-173
During the Lockout period, the group can not be unset unless an alarm has been activated in the group. In the
event of an alarm occurring during the Lockout period, any valid type 2.3 (or above) code assigned to the
group in alarm may be used to unset and/or reset the group. If multiple locked-out groups are in an alarm
condition entry of a single valid code (type 2.3 or above with access to the relevant groups) cancels the alarms
and unsets the activated groups.
The group can only be manually unset once in each Lockout Off period. If no Lockout times are pro-
grammed, the group may be unset at any time.
Codes are not affected by Lockout, and can be used to gain access to the menus and to manually set the
group.
Programming Lockout
There are two stages to programming the Lockout function. These are options 6 = Lockout Status and
7 = Lockout Schedule of the Autoset programming menu:
6 = Lockout Status
The lockout status has to be set to On before the lockout schedule will function.
0 = Off (default)
1 = On
7 = Lockout Schedule
This option allocates the automatic lockout time schedule OFF (Unlock) and On (Lockout) for the selected
group. Up to 67 weekly schedules are available which are programmed in 65.1=Weekly Schedule.

67 - Remote Reset Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Option 67 – Remote Reset

The Remote Reset option allows a user to perform an engineer reset authorized by the Alarm Receiving
Centre (ARC). In the event of an alarm that requires an engineer reset, the keypad displays a number, which,
when quoted to the ARC is decoded and exchanged for a new number. When this new number is entered it
resets the Galaxy panel. Entering the engineer code also resets the Galaxy panel.
NOTE: The alarm conditions that require to be reset remotely must have the appropriate System Reset,
Tamper Reset or PA Reset parameters programmed for engineer reset (type 3.7).
Each alarm activation generates a random number, therefore, the number required to reset the panel changes
each activation. As ARCs have different decoding equipment, the appropriate reset system must be selected
from the following Remote Mode options:
0 = OFF (default).
1 = SMS - Southern Monitoring Service (4 digits).
2 = Technistore (5 digits) - requires a four digit local modifier (000 - 255) to be assigned.
3 = Microtech (6 digits) - requires a four digit local modifier (0000 - 9999) to be assigned.

The following pages describe the MAX menu programming functions followed by the Door Control Module
programming functions.
6-179
69 - Access Control (cont’d) Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
69.2 = MAX
This option is used to program the Galaxy MAX access control readers. The MAX can be fully integrated
into the system, communicating on the AB lines and fully utilising the facilities of the Galaxy control panel. If the
MAX is programmed as a standalone module, it is completely separate from the Galaxy; the panel does not
monitor the module or share any of the facilities or options with it.
When enabled, the options that are eligible for MAX programming are made available throughout the menu,
otherwise they do not appear or appear as Option not Available.
NOTE: If the MAX Mode is disabled following programming of MAX readers, the readers remain opera-
tional, however, no further programming, including assigning new MAX cards and fobs, is possible
until the mode is enabled.
69.2.1 = MAX Address

The address and the on-line or standalone status of the MAX Modules are assigned and modified using this
option. On selecting MAX Address the Galaxy searches for the MAX with the highest address. The Galaxy
3-48 prompt for the AB line (1-1); the Galaxy 3-96 and 3-264 prompt for the AB line (1-2); the Galaxy 3-
520 prompts for the AB line (1-4) that is to be searched. Select the line and press the ent key. On locating
the MAX, the keypad prompts for the TYPE of MAX to be assigned:
0 = On-Line The MAX is fully integrated with the Galaxy system and communicates via the AB line,
sharing system resources and facilities
1 = Standalone The MAX operates as an entirely independent unit. The Galaxy does not monitor the MAX
for alarms, tampers or power failure.
The MAX can then be readdressed. The keypad displays the current address of the MAX and the range of
valid addresses. All MAX modules default to address 7, it is recommended that when adding MAX modules,
the first is redressed as 0, the second as 1 and so on.
Enter the new MAX address and press the ent key; the Galaxy then reprograms the address of the MAX.
The keypad indicates the old and new MAX addresses and the status of the reprogramming.
When the reprogramming is complete the MAX bleeps and the display returns to 2 = MAX Address.
Old address 7 –> 0 [24] Status of

New address reprogramming
69.2.2 = MAX Parameters

This option defines the individual operational features of each of the MAX modules. On selecting this option
the address of the first MAX on the system is displayed along with the descriptor currently assigned to it.
While the MAX3 address is displayed on the keypad, the address pattern on the MAX module is indicated by
the LEDs switching on. Pressing the # key displays a graphic on the keypad which corresponds to the LED
pattern on the MAX module.
The following figure shows the graphic display for both a MAX and a MicroMAX address as 26.

1 = Descriptor
This option is used to assign a name of up to 12 characters to each of the MAX modules. This name is assem-
bled from the character set and/or library options. On selecting the Descriptor parameter the currently as-
signed name is displayed on the top line - an underscore shows where the next character will be positioned,
and a selection of the alphabet is shown on the bottom line - the cursor flashes on the letter L.

Text Case & Library

On entering the Descriptor parameter the alpha-numeric characters are all presented in upper case. Pressing
Appendix A - Library. When the required word is displayed, press the ent key to copy it to the name.
Library words are a maximum of 12 characters and upper case only.
6-181
2 = Relay Duration
This is the period, following the user card swipe, that the MAX relay is activated allowing a door strike to be
unlocked and the door to be opened without creating an alarm. The MAX relay de-activates as soon as the
door contact opens or the Open Timeout occurs.
On entering the Relay Duration parameter, the current value is displayed; assign the required time within the
range 01 – 60 seconds, the default time is 5 seconds. Press the ent key to save the programming and return
NOTE: Pressing the A key increases the time by one second increments, the B key decreases the time in one
second decrements.
3 = Open Timeout
This is the period following the user card swipe that the door can remain open when gaining access. If the
door remains open longer than the period assigned to the Open Timeout, then an alarm occurs.
NOTE: If the Open Timeout is programmed as 0 seconds, then the door can remain open indefinitely
without resulting in an alarm being activated.
On entering the Open Timeout parameter, the current value is displayed; assign the required time within the
range 00 – 60 seconds, the default time is 10 seconds. Press the ent key to save the programming and return
second decrements.
4 = Group Config
1=Alarm Group
On selecting the Alarm Group option, the group currently allocated to the MAX is displayed. Pressing
the group number toggles the group assigned to the MAX. The MAX does not allow access through
the door when the group is set. A user must have this group assigned to them in order to gain access at
this door.
Multi-group Systems
The larger galaxy panels have 32 groups; these are displayed on the MAX in block of 8 groups, sub-divided
relevant groups in each block to the MAX.
6-182
2=Group Restrict
Each MAX module can be assigned selected groups using the Group Restriction option. This group restric-
tion affects the operation of the MAX readers for card held functions. A card can only be used at a reader if
there are common groups between them. By default each reader is assigned to all groups on the system.
Groups can be removed as required to restrict the operation of the MAX reader.
NOTE: Each MAX card can be assigned a single menu function (refer to option 42 = CODES). Activating
this function with a card that is assigned to all groups, on a MAX that is only assigned to a single
group, results in the function operating on all of the card’s groups. The MAX function is not re-
stricted to the groups assigned to the MAX, it is restricted to the groups assigned to the card, as
long as there is one group common to both. This means that a MAX assigned only to group 1, for
example, can be used to activate the MAX function on groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 by a card with all of
these groups allocated. The groups are assigned to the MAX card using option 42 = CODES.
In access mode access will be granted if there are common groups between the card and the MAX reader
and all the groups assigned to the card are unset. For the card held function, the groups affected by the func-
tion will be all the groups assigned to the card, so long as there is at least one common group between the
card and the MAX.
Common Group Restriction

The group restrictions can be enhanced further by pressing the key when assigning group in Group Restric-
tion. This limits the operation described in the paragraph above only to groups which are common to both the
MAX and the card.
Refer to the following table for examples of how the readers respond to different situations with the Common
Group Restriction on and off. The card held function used in the example is “Timed Set”.

Assigning Groups to Group Restriction

On selecting the Groups option, the groups currently allocated to the MAX are displayed. Pressing the group
number toggles the group assigned to the MAX.
Larger Galaxy panels have 32 groups; these are displayed on the MAX in blocks of eight groups, sub-divided
relevant groups in each block to the MAX.
5 = Emergencies
This option allows each individual MAX unit to be configured to respond to fire zones in a given set of groups.
Upon the opening of a fire zone in one of the groups allocated to the MAX, the MAX will trigger the door
strike and hold the door open until the system is reset. All the MAX LEDs will light and the buzzer will sound.
Closing the fire zone will have no effect - the MAX units are treated as latched outputs and an appropriate
level reset is required, at which point they are immediately reset.
A second group map is allocated to each MAX in order to facilitate this function. This permits the existing
door control features to be completely detached from the fire escape features.
The default setting for each MAX is all groups selected. Therefore, a system, which is unchanged from the
default will open all MAX doors in response to any fire zone activation.
On selecting the Emergencies option select the groups you want allocated to the MAX for escape purposes
and accept the programming by pressing the enter key. When a fire zone is activated in any of the groups
programmed, the door controlled by the MAX will be opened.
6 = AntiPassBack
This option, when enabled, will prevent more than one use of any particular card at a particular reader within a
given time period.
A forgiveness function is available to clear all or particular antipassback restrictions in force. A manager code
can authorize a forgive function on a particular user in option 42.1 = Codes.User Codes. An engineer code
can authorize a forgive function on a particular reader.
1 = Mode
This option has three settings:
0 = Off
No antipassback restriction
1 = Soft
Access is never denied but any violations will be recorded in the event log
2 = Hard
No access will be granted for a second swipe within the antipassback period, following a valid swipe.
2 = Timeout (0-60 minutes)

This option specifies the time that the anti passback restriction lasts for. The default is 0 minutes.
3 = Forgive
This option allows the engineer to remove all anti passback restrictions for the selected MAX. Use the A>B<
keys to select the reader address the press enter to forgive.
6-184
7 = Security
This option determines when and how a door can be locked and unlocked for access.
1 = Nightlock
This allows a time schedule to be allocated to determine when access to the door will be blocked. Up to
67 weekly time schedules can be programmed. Setting the schedule to 00 disables the function.
2 = Unlock Time
This allows a time schedule to be allocated to determine when the door will be unlocked to provide unre-
stricted access. Up to 0-67 weekly time schedules can be programmed. Setting the schedule to 00 disa-
bles the function.
Dual Mode
This defines if access at a door requires dual authority or not via the assigned keypad. The options are:
0 = Disabled
A card or a Pin is required to gain access.
1 = Card and Card
Two cards are required to gain access.
2 = Card and Pin
A card and a Pin from the same user are required to gain access.
8 = Menu Recall
This means that a card-held function can be assigned to the reader. A user is able to do a card-held function
even if they do not have card-held priviledges themselves.
1 = Menu Function
Depending on the level of access granted in Option 68, Menu Access, the user can hold their card at a
compatible reader for three seconds to activate a single menu function selected from the available list. A
new option is assigned by pressing the A or B keys until the required option is displayed or by entering the
option number directly and then pressing the ent key to accept the selection. Assigning a Double asterisk
(**) to the menu function makes it not used.
2 = Menu Mode
This determines whether a card held function can be used to access the reader. There is one option which
is 1 = Card Held.
2 = Keypad
This assigns a specific keypad address to work in conjunction with a MAX. This keypad is used to display
the menu action assigned in 1 = Menu Function.
6-185
69.3 = DCM
This option is used to program the Galaxy Door Control Module (DCM) access control readers. The DCM
can be fully integrated into the system, communicating on the AB lines and fully utilising the facilities of the
Galaxy control panel. Each DCM can control up to two readers. The exit reader can be replaced with a
request to exit button.
When enabled, the options that are eligible for DCM programming are made available throughout the menu,
otherwise they do not appear, or appear as Option not Available.
Addressing the DCM

The DCM takes its address from a rotary hex switch on-board or by setting with DIP switches. Refer to
Section 5, Access Control, Door Control Module.
69.3.1 = DCM Parameters

This option defines the individual operational features of each of the Door Control Modules. On selecting this
option the address of the first DCM on the system is displayed along with the descriptor currently assigned to
it. If there are no DCM’s on the system the message NO ENTRIES is displayed.
Select the required DCM address using the A and B keys pressing the ent key. The first parameter,
1 = Descriptor is displayed. Use the A or B keys to move to the required parameter and press the ent key.
1 = Descriptor
This option is used to assign a name of up to 9 characters to each of the DCM’s. This name is assembled from
the character set and/or library options. On selecting the Descriptor parameter the currently assigned name is
displayed on the top line - an underscore shows where the next character will be positioned, and a selection of
the alphabet is shown on the bottom line - the cursor flashes on the letter L.
acter to the description in the top line. Repeat this procedure to assemble the required Descriptor.
2 = Operation
This option determines how the DCM will operate. There are three choices;
0 = Entry and Exit

This option provides entry at one reader and exit at another reader.
1 = Entry and Entry

This option provides entry only at both readers
2 = Single entry
This option means that one reader is connected and its type is entry.
3 = System Group
This is the group that the DCM will report on for module tampers and diagnostics.
6-186
4 = Facility Code
This allows the cards to be programmed as a specific technology with a Facility code plus an ID.
1 = Code 1
2 = Code 2
3 = Code 3
4 = Code 4
5 = Reader (01 or 02)

This option allows the DCM readers to be set up with the 9 options that follow:
01 = Descriptor
This option is used to assign a name of up to 9 characters to each of the readers. This name is assembled
from the character set and/or library options. On selecting the Descriptor parameter the currently assigned
name is displayed on the top line - an underscore shows where the next character will be positioned, and a
selection of the alphabet is shown on the bottom line - the cursor flashes on the letter L.
Press the * key to erase the characters already assigned to the name.
underneath the flashing cursor. When the required character is in position press the ent key to copy the
character to the description in the top line. Repeat this procedure to assemble the required Descriptor.
02 = Relay Duration
This is the period, following the user card swipe, that the reader relay is activated allowing a door strike to
be unlocked and the door to be opened without creating an alarm. The reader relay de-activates as soon
as the door contact opens or the Open Timeout occurs.
On entering the Relay Duration parameter, the current value is displayed; assign the required time within
the range 0 – 60 seconds, the default time is 5 seconds. Press the ent key to save the programming and
second decrements.
03 = Open Timeout
This is the period, following the user card swipe, that the door can remain open when gaining access. If the
door remains open longer than the period assigned to the Open Timeout, then an alarm occurs.
NOTE: If the Open Timeout is programmed as 0 seconds, then the door can remain open indefinitely
without resulting in an alarm being activated.
On entering the Open Timeout parameter, the current value is displayed; assign the required time within
the range 0 – 60 seconds, the default time is 10 seconds. Press the ent key to save the programming and
NOTE: Pressing the A key increases the time by one second increments, the B key decreases the time in
one second decrements.
6-187
04 = Group Config
The groups option allows each DCM readers to be allocated to a particular group (s).
1 = Alarm Group
On selecting the Alarm Group option, the group currently allocated to the DCM reader is displayed.
Pressing the group number toggles the group assigned to the reader. The reader does not allow access
through the door when the group is set. a user must have this group assigned to them in order to gain
access at this door.
Multi-group Systems
Larger Galaxy panels have 32 groups; these are displayed on the DCM reader in block of 8 groups,
sub-divided into A, B, C and D. Use the A or B key to move between the group blocks; press keys 1
– 8 to assign the relevant groups in each block to the DCM reader.
When the required groups have been assigned to the user, press the ent key to accept the programming
and return to the previous menu level.
2 = Group Restrict
Each DCM reader can be assigned selected groups using the Group Restriction option. This group
restriction affects the operation of the DCM readers for both access and card held functions. A card
can only be used at a reader if there are common groups between them. By default each reader is
assigned to all groups on the system. Groups can be removed as required to restrict the operation of the
DCM reader.
NOTE: Each DCM card can be assigned a single menu function (refer to option 42 = CODES).
Activating this function with a card that is assigned to all groups, on a reader that is only assigned to a
single group, results in the function operating on all of the card’s groups. The DCM function is not
restricted to the groups assigned to the reader, it is restricted to the groups assigned to the card, as long
as there is one group common to both. This means that a DCM reader assigned only to group 1, for
example, can be used to activate the DCM reader function on groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 by a card with all of
these groups allocated. The groups are assigned to the DCM card using option 42 = CODES.
3 = Exit Group - Option not available
This allows the group outside of the protected area to be defined. This is only used in conjunction with
an exit reader, so that the current location of a specific user can be tracked.
05 = Emergencies
This option allows each individual DCM reader to be configured to respond to fire zones in a given set of
groups. Upon the opening of a fire zone in one of the groups allocated to the reader, the reader will trigger the
door strike and hold the door open until the system is reset. The DCM LED will light and the buzzer will
sound. Closing the fire zone will have no effect - the DCM readers are treated as latched outputs and an
appropriate level reset is required, at which point they are immediately reset.
A second group map is allocated to each DCM reader in order to facilitate this function. This permits the
existing door control features to be completely detached from the fire escape features.
The default setting for each DCM reader is all groups selected. Therefore, a system, which is unchanged from
the default will open all DCM doors in response to any fire zone activation.
Selecting the Emergencies option selects the groups you want allocated to the DCM readers for escape
purposes and accepts the programming by pressing the enter key. When a fire zone is activated in any of the
groups programmed, the door controlled by the DCM will be opened.
6-188
06 = AntiPassBack
This option, when enabled, will prevent more than one use of any particular card at a particular reader
within a given time period.
A forgiveness function is available to clear all or particular antipassback restrictions in force. A manager
code can authorize a forgive function on a particular user in option 42.1 = Codes.User Codes. An engi-
neer code can authorize a forgive function on a particular reader.

1 = Format Key
This function formats the key ready for copy and overwriting of panel configuration data. On selecting this
option the user is presented with a display where the top line reads “Formatting”, with a progress bar shown
on the bottom line.
Once the key has been formatted the user is presented with the following options:
1 = Show Key
This option is only shown when there is existing information stored on the SPI Key and then provides options
for downloading the saved information into the panel. The user can scroll through the available files on the SPI
Key.
For each file the display toggles between the:
Filename, creation time and date of the saved data and the,
Panel Type, Panel version and file type.
A further press of the ent key will provide the user with the following two options:
1 = Use File
Selecting this option will reprogram your control panel with the software application file or configuration file
stored on the SPI key. This will take approximately 2 minutes.
NOTE: If a new panel application file is being downloaded, the panel configuration stored in the
panel should firstly be saved from the panel to the SPI Key. The new panel application can
then copied from the SPI Key to the panel. Once the new application has been
downloaded the saved panel configuration can be copied back to the panel.

Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual 71 - SPI Key (cont’d)
Once the process has started, the panel will validate the data, then begin reprogramming the control
panel. While reprogramming is taking place, the panel stops running. The keypads and other peripherals
will go off-line for a short period. Once the reprogramming is complete, the panel will automatically
reboot. Once the panel has fully reconfigured, power may be removed or any previously saved
configuration can be restored via option 1 = show key and selecting the appropriate file.
CAUTION: Do not remove power or unplug the SPI key until the panel has restarted.
2 = Delete File
When selected, the binary file stored on the SPI Key is deleted.
CAUTION: Do not use this command as the SPI key will have to be recalled to Honeywell
Security to be reprogrammed with the software.
2 = Save config
This option allows the panel configuration data to be saved to SPI Key. If selected the user is first prompted
for filename for the saved data. This can be up to 8 characters in length.
Once the filename has been entered the data save sequence is started. The keypad display gives an indication
of the progress until the configuration has been saved.
3 = Check space
If selected this option displays the available space left on the SPI Key. This will display the number of free
memory Kbytes left on the device, out of a maximum of 4096.
4 = Erase key
This option deletes all programming and returns the SPI key to the unformatted state. This option should not
be used.
NOTE: If replacing the software all users, other than the engineer at the keypad in use will be logged out of
the system. The keypad banner will display a warning of what is happening. The engineer will be
given a warning that the panel software is about to be replaced. It will take approximately 2 minutes
to replace the software, during which time the keypads will go off line. Once reprogrammed the
panel will restart.

Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual Data Storage
Appendix E: Site Data Storage

Also referred to as the ‘dumpbox mode’, this function allows the Galaxy Dimension panel to emulate the
behaviour of an External RS232 module, which can then be attached to another Galaxy panel, including
Legacy panels of previous versions, to copy the programming data.
For the purposes of this document, the Galaxy panel in use is referred to as the Dimension panel. The panel to
which the Dimension panel is connected is referred to as the Legacy panel.
Preparing for Storage Mode

Prior to using the storage mode facility, the Dimension panel must be attached to the Legacy panel through the
RS485 line. It will be necessary to connect the A and B wires on line 2 of the Dimension panel to the same
wires on line 1 of the Legacy panel. It is not possible to substitute another line in either panel, the connection
must be as indicated.
If the Legacy panel and the Dimension panel are each independently powered, the + and – wires on the line
should NOT be connected. It is, however, possible to power either panel from the power supply of the other.
In this latter configuration, the + and – wires should be connected as normal.
While the Dimension panel is connected to the Legacy panel, the panels share the affected lines. If the Dimen-
sion panel is not itself in Storage mode, therefore, both panels will attempt to poll modules on these lines. It
should be assumed that any modules on line 2 of the Dimension panel, or on line 1 of the Legacy panel will
therefore be inoperable while this condition persists. Once the Dimension panel enters Storage mode, this
condition ceases to apply – the Legacy panel has full control over all modules on the line.
Enabling Storage Mode

On the Dimension panel, storage mode is enabled through the menu system as follows:
1. Enter Engineer mode.

2. Using a keypad NOT connected to line 2, enter menu 56.6.1.4=Communications.Int
RS232.Mode.Storage Mode.
3. Press ent.
The display on the keypad used to activate storage mode will change to read STORAGE MODE \ [ESC]
to abort. From this point forward, the Dimension panel will appear to the Legacy panel as an external RS232
module connected to line 1. Additionally, at this point the Dimension panel will stop polling line 2, while the
Legacy panel should once again be able to poll modules on line 1.
E-1
Data Storage (cont’d) Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
Using Storage Mode

On the Legacy panel, enter and leave Engineer mode, so the External RS232 module is recognised. Then re-
enter Engineer mode to use the storage mode facilities.
On the Legacy panel, enter menu 56.2.4=Communications.RS232.Copy/Overwrite.

To copy the programming data FROM the Legacy panel TO the Grade 3 panel, select 1=Copy Site. To
copy the programming data FROM the Grade 3 panel TO the Legacy panel, select 2=Overwrite Site.
Press 1 to start the copy procedure, or 2 to abort at any time. The copy procedure can also be aborted by
pressing esc on the Dimension panel; this exits Storage mode.
NOTE: The copy procedure is started as soon as the option is selected; neither panel requests confirmation
before proceeding.
During the copy procedure, the display on the affected keypad on the Dimension panel will show a message
indicating which data elements are being copied (Users, Parameters, etc).
Leaving Storage Mode

At any time, Storage mode can be exited by pressing esc on the Dimension panel. It is recommended that the
panels be separated before this is done, although doing so is not necessary. If the panels remain connected
while the Dimension panel is not in Storage mode, behaviour on line 2 of the Dimension panel and line 1 of the
Legacy panel cannot be guaranteed.
