Table 1. General Specifications
The Galaxy 2 Series requires at least one external keypad for programming and general operation. There are
two main types of keypad available.
Galaxy Mk7 LCD Keypad: This keypad has a 2 x 16 character display and operates on the RS485 data
bus. Optionally, a keyprox version is available. This is a standard Mk7 keypad with a proximity card reader
built in to the lower right-hand corner. The keyprox is for set/unset only.
6160 Full Text Keypad: This keypad has a 2 x 16 character display and operates on the ECP data bus.
Optionally versions are available with built-in prox reader and wireless receiver.
Optional Peripherals
Zone Expander: This gives eight extra hardwire zones and four programmable outputs. Alternatively four
extra hardwire zones and no outputs.

Introduction (cont’d)
RF Radio Receiver: This allows the control panel to receive signals from wire-free detectors and radio
keyfobs. One radio receiver will allow the panel to assign wire-free detectors to any or all of the 44 detection
zones. However, two receivers can be used to increase coverage.
Proximity Card Reader: This allows users to set/unset simply by swiping a card or tag in front of the reader.
The proximity card readers are built into the housing of the keypads.
RIO/ PSU Control: Up to four RIO’s or PSU’s can be added to the RS485 Bus. Each RIO/ PSU Control
expands the system by eight zones and four outputs.
GSM Module: This module provides mobile telecommunications between the panel and the Alarm Receiving
Center (ARC).
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
Features
RF
The system operates with the 5800 receivers on ECP and/or the RF Portal on RS485. A maximum of two RF
receivers can be fitted to the system (two on the ECP bus, two on the RS485 bus or one on each bus), to
support up to 44 zones. The RF receivers are in addition to the prox keypads on RS485 but in place of ECP
prox keypads.
Groups
Group functionality allows the system to be split into three individual sub-systems that can be set and unset
independently. Additionally there is a fourth common group which will set automatically when all the other
groups have set. It is unset as soon as any one group has been unset by a user. Zones are assigned users to a
single group only. Users are assigned to one or more groups.
Dialler
The system can have two active comms devices configured, chosen from:
•On-board PSTN/Modem
•Plug-on GSM Module
These are used for Dial-up primary and secondary signalling, as well as remote servicing and two-way audio.
SMS Text Messaging
This is a secondary alarm notification to keyholders. Text messages are sent to GSM mobile phones, giving
information on panel events.
ProxKeypads
These are standard keypads with an added proximity card reader, combined into one housing. This allows
dual function setting/unsetting ability from the one station without the need for a separate card reader. They
are primarily intended for use in situations where a PIN card is needed to set and unset the intruder alarm
system.
Remote Servicing
The Galaxy 2 series control panel can be remotely and/or locally serviced by a Personal computer (PC). This
is accomplished when the Remote Servicing Software is installed on the PC.

The ent key is used to enter a PIN code and to accept screen information.
The esc key is used to cancel or exit from the current operation.
NOTE: Users cannot view or access options for which they are not authorised.
How to get in and out of Engineer Mode
Entry to engineer mode is authorised by a user in menu option 48 = Level 3 Access. Following this the
engineer will have five minutes in which to enter his code. When the engineer code is entered four things
happen:
•All system tampers become isolated.
•All fault signalling is suppressed, and indications are silent.
•The engineer is given access to the full menu.
•The banner message is changed to indicate engineer mode.
To bring the system back out of engineer access mode and reinstate all the tampers from the banner, the
engineer enters his code but presses the esc key rather than the ent key.
How to Set/Unset
To Full Set the system, the user types their code then presses the A key.
To Part Set the system, the user types their code, presses the B key then presses the [1] key.

SECTION 4: SYSTEM WIRING
General Information
It is essential that this product is installed correctly, in particular with respect to a person’s safety and connection to the mains electricity supply. This product is not suitable for installation, maintenance or connection by
the user. A competent, qualified engineer, with for example NACOSS approval, must carry out installation and
maintenance.
Siting
The control panel enclosure (plastic box or metal box), must be sited indoors in a secure area where it cannot
be readily interfered with. There must be adequate ventilation, ample light and easy access for servicing and
maintenance. It is not suitable for siting externally or in harsh environments where it could be subject to high
humidity, extremes of temperature, chemical atmospheres, high dust levels, or in a position where it may be
subject to being dripped on, or splashed by, water or other fluids.
The enclosure base must be securely fixed to a vertical, smooth, solid surface that is a part of the fabric of the
building. The position chosen must allow the cabinet lid to be removed and allow unhindered access for
installation and maintenance.
Ventilation
While the control panel has been designed so that no part attains an unsafe temperature it is important that
adequate ventilation is provided around the cabinet, therefore the cabinet must not be positioned close to
heat-radiating equipment or other sources of heat.
Cabling
The panel has high voltage barriers between the a.c. mains supply and the alarm wiring terminals. It is essential
that these barriers be maintained in the way the cables enter the cabinet, are routed inside the cabinet, and are
routed externally.
Additional holes must not be cut in the enclosure, rear entry points are provided for cables. Alarm system
cables must be neatly trimmed and not allowed to loop inside the cabinet.
Cables external to the cabinet must be either firmly affixed to the fabric of the building using suitable clips or
saddles, or mechanically protected in conduit or trunking. It must not be possible to put strain on the wiring
within the control cabinet by pulling on cabling external to the cabinet.
It must not be possible to push a finger or similar size object or instrument into any hole or cable entry point.
Mains Cable Type
The conductors of the mains supply cable must have a minimum cross-sectional area of 0.75 mm and the
insulating material on each conductor must be a minimum of 0.4 mm thick Polyvinyl Chloride (pvc). Flexible
cables must conform to the requirements of BS6500 and IEC Publication 227. Non-flexible electrical installation cables must conform to BS6004.

Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
System Wiring (cont’d)
Zone and Data Cable Type
Zone cables and all cables between the panel, keypads and expansion modules must be as follows:
RS485 Bus: Twisted pair screen cable Belden 8723 equivalent. For systems with less than 100m cable run
in total, standard 4-core alarm cable may be used in most normal environments.
ECP Bus and Zone Cables: Standard 4-core alarm cable.
Zones: Standard 4-core alarm cable.
Mains Supply Connection
The connection to the a.c. mains supply must be made by a competent, qualified person, for example NICEIC
approved, in accordance with the current IEE and local supply regulations.
Warning:A means of isolation from the mains supply must be provided within two metres of the
control panel. Where live and neutral supplies can be identified, a fused spur with a 3A
fuse, must be fitted on the live circuit. Where live and neutral circuits cannot be reliably
identified, 3A fuses must be fitted to both circuits.
Where a flexible cable is connected to the control having cores coloured brown and blue it is important to
connect the wires to the mains terminal block as follows:
•Blue (Neutral) – connect to terminal N
•Green/Yellow (Earth) – connect to terminal E
•Brown (Live) – connect to terminal L

NOTE: Connections shown as dashed lines
are factory made. The metal box
must be earthed.
The outer covering insulation must be clamped under the cable clamp. It is important that this cable enters the
control panel enclosure through the mains entry hole next to the mains terminal block, is not looped within the
control panel enclosure and does not run close to other system cables inside or external to the enclosure.
WARNING:The control panel enclosure must not be opened before isolating the mains supply.
Illumination of the green power LED 2 indicates the presence of a.c. mains supply. The
cover of the Galaxy 2 Series enclosure must be replaced whenever any connection to the
BT master socket is completed to prevent exposure to potentially lethal voltages from the
PSTN.

Equipment Electrical Rating
The control equipment is designed to operate on a mains supply of 230 Volts a.c. (230 V +10% -15%) at a
frequency of 50 Hz. It is not suitable for other types of supply. The maximum current consumption in normal
use is 200 mA.
Batteries
The battery used with the control panel must be a 12 V sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery of up to 7 Ahr
(plastic box) or 17 Ahr (metal box) capacity on the 2-44+ and 12 Ahr on the 2-20. The battery must be
positioned on the battery shelf. Wire in battery leads to panel terminals (red lead to Batt+, black lead toBatt-). The battery leads must be connected to the battery observing terminal polarity and not left hanging
near the mains terminal block.

NOTES:1.Terminals 2 and 5 on the BT Master Socket must be hard-wired to the A and B terminals
(TB1)on the Galaxy 2 Series PCB. The connection is polarity independent.
2.It is strongly recommended that the Galaxy 2 Series 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 2 and 5 on a second BT Master Socket and connect the additional devices to
the second socket.
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 2 Series.
Connect terminals 2 and 5 on the BT Master socket across the A and B terminals (TB1) on the Galaxy 2
Series, see Figure 3.

System Wiring (cont’d)
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
REN and SEN Numbers
It is possible to simultaneously connect a number of items to one line of the PSTN. The limit is determined by
summing the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) shown on each item of apparatus, ensuring that the sum of
RENs is not more than four.
The REN of the Galaxy 2 Series is one (1).
Assume that all British Telecom equipment has a REN of one unless otherwise marked.
More than one item of series apparatus may be connected to the Galaxy 2 Series ports marked phone. This is
limited by summing the Series Equivalence Number (SEN) shown on each item of series connected apparatus,
ensuring that the sum of the SENs is not more than one (1). The total series resistance, including cabling, must
not exceed 50 Ohms.
•The SEN of the Galaxy 2 Series is 0.3.
•Nominal series resistance is 90 milli-ohms.
•Nominal insertion loss is 0.1 dB.
It is recommended that the PSTN should have the following facilities:
•Outgoing calls only (when used as dialler only).
•Direct exchange.
•Tone dialling.

The Galaxy 2–20 has 12 on-board zones expandable to 20 (RS485 bus).
The Galaxy 2–44+ has 12 on-board zones expandable to 44 (RS485 bus) or 36 (ECP bus).
The zones on the Galaxy 2 Series can function in one of three modes; Normal Closed, Double Balanced and
U.S. End of line. Zone wiring for the three modes are illustrated in the following three Figures:
Figure 6. Zone wiring for Normal Closed Zones
ALARM TAMP
1K
1K
Figure 7. Zone wiring for Double Balanced Zones

Figure 8. Zone wiring for US EOL Zones
The mode of operation for the zones is programmed from menu option 51.46 = Parameters. Zone Resistance. The default zone resistors are 1k ohm. However this can be changed in option 51.46. It is strongly
recommended that the maximum cable run on each zone is 100 m.
Zone Links
The bell tamper circuit can be shorted using the Links provided in the installation kit. If the zones are programmed as Double Balanced or U.S. End of Line, fit a 1k resistor across the zone and not the zone link. It is
strongly recommended that this be done if any of the circuits are not to be used.

Wiring Zones
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
Wiring Zones
The zones on Galaxy 2 Series panels are defaulted as double balanced. Each zone is 1 kΩ closed and 2 kΩ
open. The transition from 1 to 2 kΩ generates an alarm condition. Refer to Table 2 for details of the zone
resistance and resulting conditions.
NOTE: The circuit debounce time (the period the zone must remain open to register a change in condition) is
300 milliseconds by default.
Zone Resistance (ohms)Condition

700-1500Normal (CLOSED)
1500-11000Alarm (Open) (OPEN)
11000-infinityTamper Open Circuit (TAMP O/C)
Table 2. Zone Resistance
Multiple detectors can be wired into a single zone. The maximum number of detectors that can be connected
to a single zone is 10.
Wiring Keyswitches
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.
The wiring of the keyswitch is shown in Figure 9.
Wiring Push-Set 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: For push-set zones to operate, parameter 51.08, Exit Terminate, must be set up.
The wiring of the terminator is shown in the following Figure .

Figure 10. Zone Addresses
The example above, 1004, is the detector connected to line 1, RIO 00, zone 4.
Zone Numbering System
The numbering system is as follows:
1.The first number is the Galaxy 2 Series Panel line that the RIO/Expander is connected to. This will
always be 1.
2.The next two numbers refer to the address of the RIO/Expander that the zone is on.
00 = On board RIO
01 = On board RIO
02 = RIO/Expander 1
03 = RIO/Expander 2
04 = RIO/Expander 3
05 = RIO 4
3.The last number is the actual zone on the RIO/Expander 1-8. Therefore the valid zone numbers are:
1001 - 1004
1011 - 1018
1021 - 1028
1031 - 1038
1041 - 1048
1051 - 1058
This gives a total of 44 zones.

*NOTE:Output 1002 - This output is configured as a 16 Ohm speaker driver (AC signal). The speaker
should be connected between this output and +12V. The speaker Entry/Exit volume is controlled
by parameter 51.10. It is possible to reprogram the output to operate as a normal switched
negative output by programming parameter 51.15 to 0=Switch DC. However, when it is
reprogrammed to operate as Switch DC, a loudspeaker should never be connected directly to
this terminal otherwise damage may result. Always ensure that this parameter is set to 1=SPKDriver, before connecting a loudspeaker.

external communication module. The connection is via an optional ribbon cable (Part No. A229).
Trig 1-8
There are eight trigger outputs, which are intended as communication triggers, but can be used for any pur-
pose. By default these outputs are programmed as positive. They are designed to sink current (to 0V) not
source current (from 12V). The addresses of these outputs are as follows:

Data Buses
Two separate data buses are available to connect the Galaxy 2–44+ panel to its peripherals.
Communication between the Galaxy 2–44+ control panel and the peripherals attached to it (see Figure 1),
takes place on the data bus. The control panel constantly monitors the peripherals attached to it. A break in
the communication from any of the peripherals generates a tamper alarm.
RS485 Wiring Configurations
The system must be wired in a daisy-chain configuration. That is the A line from the previous peripheral is
connected to the A terminal of the current peripheral and then on to the A line of the next peripheral.
The RS485 (AB) line must have a 680 Ω resistor fitted across the A and B terminals of the last peripheral on
the line.

RS485 Wiring Recommendations
1.The system must be wired in a daisy-chain configuration. Spur and star configurations must not be used.
2.The recommended cable used to connect the RS485 (AB) line is twisted pair screened cable (Belden
8723 equivalent). However, for cable runs of less than 100m in normal environments, standard 4-core
cable can normally be used.
3.There must only be a single AB pair of wires in each of the cables.
4.The power supply in the Galaxy 2 Series control panel and remote power supplies must not be connected
in parallel.
5.The 0V of all remote power supplies must be connected in common to the 0V of the Galaxy 2 Series
control panel.
6.Ensure that any extension loudspeakers are not wired in the same cable as an AB pair of wires.
7.Where possible, ensure that the AB cable is at least 30 centimetres away from any other cables.
8.Where possible, ensure that the AB cable does not run parallel to other cables for extended
distances (maximum five metres).
9.The maximum length of cable run is one kilometre.

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).
3.Use the backplate as a template, then mark the locations for the three attachment screws in the
required position. Use the keyhole slot at the top of the backplate and the two elongated
holes at the bottom.
4.If you are using a wall-run cable for the keypad (A, B, +, -) 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.
6.If an off the wall tamper is required, using a No. 6 Pan-head screw, secure the sacrificial wall
tamper, indicated in Figure 18, to the wall. Make sure that the tamper knockout is still
connected to the backplate moulding.
7.Connect the A, B and power wires to the correct terminals of the removable, four-way connector
block.

Zones
The Galaxy RIO has eight programmable zones. These default to INTRUDER. Each zone is Double
Balance monitored with a 1 kΩ resistor in series with the zone detector and a 1 kΩ (1%) resistor in parallel
across the detector switch. The change to 2 kΩ (1%) resistance registers the zone as open/alarm.
Outputs
The RIO has four transistorised outputs. Each output is connected to +12 V via a 3k3Ω pull-up resistor
(refer to Table 10). When an output is activated, the load is switched to the negative supply voltage (ground
or 0 V) of the RIO. The current available through each output is 400 mA.

The Galaxy Power Supply Unit (PSU) consists of two modules, the Power Block and the Control Unit. The
PSU can be connected to the Galaxy 2 Series control panel via the RS485 (AB) line. The PSU can be used in
place of a standard RIO to overcome power problems that arise when the additional RIO is fitted distant to
the control panel.
A 6-way jumper lead connects the Power Block to the Control Unit.
The PSU (Power RIO variant) has eight zones and four outputs. Each variant of the PSU takes one of the
four RIO address (2 - 5). Addressing is identical to that described for RIO Modules.
The four outputs are switched 0V (0V active). Without the jumper links (LK1-4) fitted, the outputs will float in
the OFF state. They can apply a +12V signal, if required, by fitting the appropriate pull-up jumper supplied.
LK5 will short out the off-wall tamper if it is not used.
The SLAVE and E/E links must be in place for normal operation.
FAULT OP AC: This is an open collector transistor which is normally off. The output is activated by an AC
failure.
FAULT OP BAT:This is an open collector transistor which is normally off. The output is activated by a

5800H RF Receiver (2–44+ Only)
The 5800H is a remote, stand-alone radio receiver. An additional standard 6160 keypad needs to be connected to the Galaxy 2–44+ control panel when using the 5800H receiver.
Installation
Always mount the receiver where the survey receiver showed the best reception. Make sure other equipment
such as panels or power supplies are not mounted immediately next to it. As a guide, try to keep other equipment at least half a meter away. Ensure that anyone fitting any other site equipment, knows not to locate
anything close by the receiver.
Wiring
The receiver comes with a five way flying lead, which should first be plugged into the RF receiver PCB. The
coloured cables are wired direct to the Galaxy 2–44+ control panel as shown in Table 6. ECP PeripheralWiring. The blue wire is not used and may be cut off.
All wiring must be routed into the receiver via the holes and knockouts provided. Always make sure the wiring
runs on the side of the PCB away from the antennas.
Addressing
Set all DIP switches to OFF before powering up the 5800H RF receiver, which must be addressed as either
4 or 5. Refer to Table 12 for DIP switch settings. No other settings are required on this unit.

LED’s
The RF LED will blink upon reception of decodeable signals. If a jam condition occurs (continuous interfer-
ence), the LED will come on constantly. It will switch off again only when the jam condition clears.
The PWR LED gives power and communication status of the RF Portal (see Table 9 - RIO LED FlashRates for information on the meaning of the various flash rates).
Mounting the Plastic Base
Before mounting the base it is recommended that a survey is carried out to determine the suitability of the site
for RF installation. Refer to Galaxy RF Survey Kit, Operation Instructions (II1-0011).
NOTES:
•The plastic base must be mounted so that when the PCB is installed, the antenna will point vertically
(see Figure 26, Plastic Base with PCB Installed)
•The plastic base is mounted using three screws that are not provided with the installation kit.
•The plastic base must be mounted before attaching the PCB or else access to the top left-hand
mounting hole will be severely restricted.

Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
Operation of 2-Way Audio
Two types of audio communication are possible;
Listen-in
In this mode, the panel will stay on-line for 30 seconds after sending an alarm signal to the ARC to allow the
operator to listen to the audio on site. The operation is controlled by the remote DTMF telephone and is as
follows:
1.Press the * then 6 keys to start listen-in.
2.Use the 0 and 1 keys to toggle between listen and talk modes (0 = listen, 1 = talk).
3.To end the call, press the * then # keys.
4.The call ends with three beeps.
Dial-in
In this mode, a user can dial into the alarm system from a DTMF telephone and type in a special PIN code
(controlled in Menu 42, User 99). This will allow the user to listen to the audio on site, and talk to the site. The
operation is controlled by the remote telephone and is as follows:
1.Dial in to either the PSTN number or the GSM audio number.
2.The panel answers after the number of rings set up in Menu 56.1.09.
3.Wait for a long tone then enter the PIN code to start listening.
4.Use the 0 and 1 keys to toggle between listen and talk modes (0 = listen, 1 = talk).
5.To end the call, press the * then # keys.
6.The call ends with three beeps.
In both modes, if no commands are detected within two minutes the call will be timed out and hung up. If the
remote user hangs up without using * and # then it can take up to two minutes before the call times out at the
panel end.

Note on SIM cards: Any valid GSM sim card can be used. Both contract and Pre-pay types will work,
although contract SIMs are better for systems with alarm signalling as there is no chance of credit running out
when an alarm activation needs to be signalled. If the GSM module is to be used for remote servicing, then a
Data-enabled SIM card must be used. Most service provider can supply this service on contract SIMs and
will issue a separate data number. This data number should be used for remote servicing when dialling into the
panel.

Galaxy 2 Series Users
SECTION 6: GENERAL OPERATION
Galaxy 2 Series Users
Users are split into two main access levels under EN50131.
Level 2:Normal users who operate the system
Level 3:Engineers and master users who can alter PIN codes and system settings.
NOTE: Engineers can only alter their own PIN code
NOTE: Level 1 is considered to be the system in standby mode, where no users are currently accessing the
system.
Users
For a user to gain access, a valid PIN must be entered first. After entry of the PIN, the enter key must be
pressed and the user will be ‘logged on’. At this point any alarms and alerts are silenced. The set status of the
system (or each group that the user is assigned to) is displayed for five seconds. Pressing the ent or the scroll
keys during this five seconds, ends this time and the first event or first menu option is displayed on the keypad.
Engineers
Entry to engineer mode is authorised by a user in menu option 48 = Level 3 Access. Following this the
engineer will have five minutes in which to enter his code. When the engineer code is entered four things
happen:
•All system tampers become isolated.
•All fault signalling is suppressed, and indications are silent.
•The engineer is given access to the full menu.
•The banner message is changed to indicate engineer mode.
To bring the system back out of engineer access mode and reinstate all the tampers from the banner, the
engineer enters his code but presses the esc key rather than the ent key.
When exiting engineer’s mode, there is a 30 minute window where the engineer’s code can access the menu
again. After this time, user authorisation will be required.
General Menu Operation
The Galaxy 2 Series provides various menu options for operating and modifying the functional performance of
the system.
To access any of the functions, a user must first log-in by typing a valid pin code. See SECTION 2, QUICKGUIDE, for details.
To navigate around the menu and enter data, the keys are used as follows:
0-9: numeric data entry.
ent: accepts current display or enters selected option.
esc: escapes out of selected option.
A> B<:scroll forward and backward in menu or selected option. Many of the menu options shown
above will have one or more sub-menus below them. A user will be timed out of the menu structure if no keys
are pressed for two minutes. The engineer is not subject to timing out.

Text Programming
Text Programming
Certain functions on the Galaxy 2 Series can be set up with text descriptors or names. When one of these is
edited the keypad will initially show the name that is currently programmed. The A and B keys can be used to
move the edit cursor right and left in the name. Pressing the * key will delete the character to the left of the
cursor and move the cursor one position to the left (Left Delete). Pressing the # key will delete the character
at the cursor (Right Delete).
Pressing any of the numeric digit keys will enter character input mode, allowing a new character to be entered
at the cursor position. If there is any space to the right of the name, a new character will be inserted. If there
is no more space, new characters will overwrite existing characters.
There is a list of characters associated with each digit key, as shown in the following table. Pressing the same
key multiple times scrolls through the list until the correct character appears on the keypad. So, for example,
to insert the letter R the 7 key would be pressed three times. The behaviour of the B key changes while
character input mode is active. Instead of moving the cursor to the left, it displays the previous character in
the list. If a digit key is pressed too often by mistake this feature can be used to avoid having to cycle round
the list to get back to the correct character.
Character input mode can finish in a number of ways:
·After two seconds without a key press the text entry will finish automatically and the cursor will move to
the next position.
·A different digit key can be pressed. This will finish the first character input and begin character input at
the next position.
·The A key can be pressed. This is useful to avoid waiting for two seconds for the current character
entry to expire when the same digit key is to be used for the next character.
When the edit is complete, pressing the ent key will save the new name. Pressing the esc key cancels the edit
without saving any changes to the name.

Code Tampers
When enabled (see Option 51, Parameter 14 = Lockouts), when 10 wrong codes are entered in succession, the keypad is locked. The lockout lasts for two minutes. After a further 10 wrong code entries, a tamper
is logged and a signal is given. The keypad is again locked out for two minutes.
NOTE: RF fobs can still operate.
Conversely, if a wrong tag is presented to a keyprox or an invalid RF fob is activated for a similar number of
attempts, the prox and receiver devices are locked out, but the keypads still operate.
If five wrong codes are entered from a keypad, followed by five wrong codes on a keyprox, both devices are
locked for two minutes.
After a further 10 wrong code entries, a tamper condition is logged and a signal is given. Both devices will be
locked out for two minutes.

51 - Parameters (cont’d)
07 = Intruder Resets
This parameter dictates what type of reset is required for a signalled intruder alarm. There are two settings:
0.User
This setting allows any user programmed with the following user types: user, manager, master, to reset a full
intruder alarm.
1.Remote (default)
This setting requires an engineer or remote reset for a signalled intruder alarm. If this option is selected on a
system where confirmed alarms are used, then the reset level required for an unconfirmed alarm can be reduced to user, if required, in parameter 51.55.5. This is the default setting for DD243 compliant systems.
08 = Exit Terminate
If Exit Terminate is enabled for Full, Part or Night Set, exit times for the selected mode will be set to infinity.
For Full Set this overrides the value programmed in the Exit Time option (Option 04=Exit Time).
Setting of the system is terminated when a Push Set zone is opened during the exit time. There is a five second
delay between the closing of the Push Set zone and the setting of the system to allow entry route detectors to
settle.

67
51 - Parameters (cont’d)
24 = Entry Deviation
This parameter has two settings:
0.No
1.Yes (default)
If set to 0 (Entry Deviation not permitted), deviation from an entry route during entry or supplementary entry
periods will result in a Full Alarm Condition.
An entry route is defined as zones programmed as 01 (final) and 02 (exit).
Entry Deviation permitted (1) means that external bells/communications/triggers will be withheld until the entry
time expires. Entering a valid code before a full alarm condition prevents communication and triggers from
activating.
This option defaults to 1 - required by DD243, EN50131-1
25 = Easy Set
This parameter has two settings:
0.No (default)
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
1.Yes
When set to Yes (enabled), this option allows users to (Full, Part or Night) set the system without entering a
user code. Instead, users set the system by pressing the A> or <B Keys. A valid user code is still required to
unset the system.
When set to No (disabled), a user code must be entered before setting.
NOTE: Easy Set can only be used when there are no faults controlled by the Stop Set override parameter.
26 = Supplementary Entry
This parameter has two settings:
0. No
1.Yes
When set to No (disabled) an alarm condition occurs if the system has not been unset at the end of the entry
time.
When set to Yes (enabled) an internal only alarm occurs if the system has not been unset at the end of the
entry time (Trigger, External Bell and Strobe do not activate). The internal alarm will run for 30 seconds. A full
alarm will occur if the system has not been unset at the end of this time.
46 = Zone Resistance
This parameter has 3 options:
1.Zone Config
The zones on the Galaxy 2 Series function as Normally Closed, Double Balanced, End of Line. This sets the
configuration for all hardwire zones on the system, including expanders. See Section 5: Hardware—Zones,
for wiring instructions for each configuration. This option defaults to (1) Double Balanced.
0. Normally Closed
1. Double Balanced
2. End of Line
68
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
2.EOL Resistor
This selects the resistor value for the end of line (EOL) resistor used in EOL double balance zone configura-
tions. Normally this should be 1000 ohms. The value entered is in hundreds of ohms, 01 = 100 ohms,
99 = 9900 ohms.
3.Contact Res
As for EOL Resistor but for Contact resistor.
47 = Set confirm
This parameter gives an external indication when the system has set. There are three options:
0.Off
1.Strobe (flashes for two seconds)
2.Strobe & Bell (indication for two seconds when set terminates)
50 = RF Options
This parameter has six options:
51 - Parameters (cont’d)
1.RF Fob Unset
This option assigns the operation of the keyfobs.
3.Audible Jam
This parameter suppresses alert indications for audible jam faults and has two settings:
0 = No (always silent). This is the default.
1 = Yes (follows alert programming in parameter 23)
4.Audible Supervision
This parameter assigns the indication for supervision loss and has two options:
0 = No (always silent).This is the default
1 = Yes (follows alert programming in parameter 23)
5.Audible RF Low Bat
This parameter assigns the indication for RF low bat faults and has two options:
0 = No (always silent). This is the default.
1 = Yes (follows alert programming in parameter 23)
69
51 - Parameters (cont’d)
6.RF Check
The RF Check is a means of warning the user that the system is unable to determine the status of the detector.
There are two options:
0 = No
This option disables the checking of the RF Stop Set (see Section 8, RF Stop Set).
1 = Yes
This option enables the checking of the RF stop set.
55 = DD243
The options of this parameter allow the confirmed alarm reporting operation to be modified to tailor the
system to requirements of DD243: 2002, depending on the type of installation. The default options should be
used in all installations where portable fobs are used to unset.
1.Confirm time
0 - 60 minutes, 0 = Full set period
2.Confirm Mode
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
This dictates if and when a sequentially confirmed alarm report can be generated. A sequentially confirmed
alarm means that two separate alarm zones must be activated during the set period within the confirmed alarm
time window. The option has four settings:
0 = Disabled
No confirmed alarm signals will be generated
1 = Before Entry (No Portable ACE)
This option means that confirmed alarms can occur during the set state until a Final Exit type zone is
activated and the entry timer started. From that point on, no confirmed alarms can be generated until a
user unsets then sets the system again.
2 = Except Entry (With Portable ACE). This is the default.
This option means that confirmed alarms can be generated during the set state except during the entry
delay period. If a Final Exit type zone starts the entry timer, and then an Entry timeout occurs, the confirmed alarm functionality will come back into operation after the timeout has occurred.
3 = Always Confirm (Non DD243)
This option means that confirmed alarms can be generated by alarms activated at any time during the set
state.
3.Restrict keypad
This option can be used to prevent keypads from unsetting the system under normal conditions. This can be
used to force users to always unset by keyfobs (portable ACE), to comply with DD243:2002.
This option has three settings:
0 = No
Keypads can always unset the system.
1 = During Entry (default)
The keypad can unset the system at any time, except during the normal entry time. This option could be
used to ensure users are always using their keyfobs but does not lock them out completely when a keyfob
is lost or damaged.
70
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
2 = Never Unset
The keypad can never unset the system. Unsetting can only be performed by a keyfob, proximity tag or
card.
NOTE: If the panel becomes locked by accidental selection of this option, the panel can be force
unset by the following procedure:
(a)Remove all power from the system.
(b)Open the panel lid tamper.
(c)Re-apply power.
The system will power up unset in a tamper condition.
4.Restart time
This option has two settings:
0 = No (default)
1 = If 1st Zn Rpt.
When this option is set to 1 (If 1st Zn Rpt.), the confirm timer will be restarted whenever the first to alarm zone
is opened again within the confirm time window. When set to 0 (No), the confirm timer will continue running as
before and will not restart.
51 - Parameters (cont’d)
5.Reduced Resets
This option allows users to reset the system if there has not been a confirmed alarm signalled.There are two
settings:
0 = Off
This setting makes any alarm follow the reset level in parameter 51.7.
1 = On Unconfirmed (default)
This setting allows the user to reset an unconfirmed alarm, even if parameter 51.7 is set to require a
remote reset.
6.Re-arm mode
This option dictates at what point the re-arm occurs when activated zones are being by-passed and signalled
to the monitoring station. There are two settings:
0 = On Confirm (default)
By-passed zones will send a by-pass signal at the end of the confirm time window.
1 = On Bell Timeout
By-passed zones will send a by-pass signal at the end of the bell time.
7.Entry T/O Confirm
This option determines whether an Entry Timeout alarm will contribute to a confirmed alarm. There are two
settings:
0 = No (default)
1 = Yes
When set to 1 (Yes), a timeout alarm will contribute to a confirmed alarm. When set to 0 (No), a timeout
alarm will only cause an unconfirmed alarm. It will not be counted as either the first or second contribution
to a confirmed alarm.
This options selects whether a single (unconfirmed) alarm activation is remembered for the purposes of confirmation, after an entry door is open. This option has two settings:
0 = Reset Count
In this case, the confirmed alarm counter is reset to 0 as soon as an entry door is opened.
1 = Keep Count (default)
In this case, the confirmed alarm counter is maintained. If there is one alarm activation before the entry
door is opened, and then another activation after the entry delay expires, a confirmed alarm condition will
be generated, provided that both activations occur within the confirm time window.

74
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
2 = Descriptor
Each zone can be assigned with an alpha-numeric description of up to 16 characters (see Table 16, Zone
Text Characters). The descriptor is assembled from the character set in this table. On selecting the
Descriptor attribute, the currently assigned descriptor (blank by default) is displayed on the top line. Each of
the keys on the keypad, when pressed, offers a choice of character on the bottom line. Press the key repeatedly to choose a character. A two-second delay accepts the character and the flashing cursor moves on. Press
and hold down the * key to delete all the characters to the left or highlight a character and press the # key to
delete a single character.
For a full description of how to use this function, refer to Text Programming.
3 = Soak Test
Soak test. This option allows the zone to be placed in a test mode for the programmed number of days (maximum 14). If the zone is activated when it would normally have caused an alarm, then a soak event is recorded
in the log and no alarm is generated. The soak test days will be reset to the start. If no activations occur each
day, then the number of days are decreased by one, each day at midnight. If the counter reaches 0 days, then
the zone is reinstated fully into the system and normal alarm operation is resumed.
52 - Zones (cont’d)
4 = Omit Enable
If the omit attribute is set to 1 = Enabled, a user with the appropriate authorization can manually omit a zone
from the system. It has no bearing on the force omit for re-arm/re-instatement. Manually omitted zones are
omitted for one set period only.
5 = RF Options
These options allow the zone to be set up with a wireless detector.
There are six options selectable with this attribute:
1.Serial number
This allows the detector’s unique serial number to be entered by typing the number or by using the auto-learn
function. To use the auto-learn, press * and when prompted, activate the detector’s tamper switch. On learning, the signal strength is displayed.
2.Loop number
On 5800 series detectors, this selects the loop input to be used on this zone.
3.Supervision
This enables or disables supervision of the wireless detector.
4.Auto reset
The Auto reset function can be enabled to force the zone to automatically close after five seconds, if no close
signal is received from the transmitter. This will be useful on certain installations.
5.Last signal
This shows the strength of the last signal received from this detector for V2 peripherals; 5800 series detectors
will not show that signal strength.
6.Lowest signal
Lowest Signal will show the lowest signal strength received from that device since records were reset in menu
61. This is for V2 peripherals only; 5800 series detectors will not show this signal strength.
NOTE: If two receivers are fitted, both signals will be shown. If only one receiver is fitted, the reading for
that receiver only will be shown. The receiver not fitted will show a reading of 0, eg. 9/0.
75
52 - Zones (cont’d)
6 = Groups
This option selects the group that a zone belongs to. The zone will always default to group 1, but can be set to
work under any group.
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
Zone Functions and Descriptions
00 Not Active
The zone is not active in alarms but tampers are monitored
01 Final
Zones programmed as Final initiate the unsetting procedure and terminate the setting procedure.
NOTE: The setting procedure can only terminate if the Exit Time (Parameter 51.04) is set to zero.
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.
Opening a Final zone during the set procedure is only reported during settling.
02 Exit
Zones that protect the entry and exit routes are programmed as Exit. During the setting and unsetting procedures 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 a Exit zone during the set procedure is only reported during settling.
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 an authorized code.
04 24 Hours
As an intruder zone but permanently active.
NOTE: In the unset state, a 24 hour alarm is signalled. In the set state, an intruder alarm is signalled.
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
five seconds, allowing the doors to settle to the closed state. The Push Set zone remains inactive until the next
setting routine.
Only a Push Set zone in the common area will cause all setting areas to set, otherwise it will only set in the
area it is in. This will leave the other setting areas to continue setting until a Push Set zone in their area
activates.
The Push Set zone can be either 1kΩ going to 2kΩ or 2kΩ to 1kΩ - refer to Figure 9(Keyswitch/Push-Set Zone Wiring) for wiring details.
Activating a Push Set zone during the set procedure is only reported during settling.
NOTE: For this type of zone function to operate, Parameter 51.08, Exit Terminate, has to be set.
76
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
09 Keyswitch
52 - Zones (cont’d)
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.
If the system is set, operating a Keyswitch immediately unsets the assigned groups; there is no entry time
countdown.
The Keyswitch operation is as follows: 1kΩ to 2kΩ sets the system; 2kΩ to 1kΩ unsets the system.
NOTE: The activated zones are not displayed on the keypad when a Keyswitch is used to reset the alarm.
Keyswitch operation with groups enabled
When groups are enabled, a keyswitch zone will set and unset only the group that it is programmed to.
However, if the keyswitch is programmed to the common group (group four), then it will set and unset
the groups in the common group map (see Option 63.1.2).
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 an authorised user
code.
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.
17 Link
This has no alarm function but can be used to activate links.
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.
77
52 - Zones (cont’d)
20 Tamper
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
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 an authorised user code. If a tamper condition (open or short
circuit) occurs, a tamper alarm is also generated.
23 Batt Fail
This function is used to monitor the voltage of a back-up battery connected to a power supply. It causes an
Aux. Power Supply fault condition.
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.
53 Secondary Entry
As exit function but changes to entry upon the force omitting of a final zone.
54 Assistance
This function activates a “personal assistance required” alarm in both set and unset conditions. Bells and
sounders are activated and an assistance message is signalled.
55 Bell Fail
This function causes a bell fault condition.
78
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
53 - Outputs
Option 53 - Outputs
This option allows the operation of all the system outputs to be programmed. Outputs numbered 0001 to
0008 are the outputs from the trigger header. Outputs numbered 1001 to 1004 are the standard outputs on
the main PCB. Outputs on expansion modules are shown if fitted. Each output has a sub menu containing
attributes as shown:
1.Function
Assigns the output function that activates the output.
2.Polarity
This selects if the output is normally off (positive) or normally on (negative). Positive means that the output
is 12V going to 0V when activated. Negative means that the output is 0V going to 12V when activated.
3.Groups
For output types where groups are programmable, this selects the groups that an output responds to. An
output can respond to 1, 2, 3 or 4 groups.
NOTE: Reflex means that the output stays on until the condition clears.
Latch means that the output stays on until a valid user logs on (PIN or card).
Latch* means that these outputs are latched but can be forced off by bell delay, bell time or confirm
timeouts.
Pulse means that the output stays on for five seconds and then switches off again.

and follows the set and unset status of the groups.
11=Comms Test (Pulse)
This output activates any time a test signal is sent to the Alarm Receiving Centre.
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 ACFail zone is closed. This output is subject to Parameter 56.7.4=Comms.Parameters.Power Delay.
15=Low Batt (Reflex)
The Low Batt output activates whenever the control unit stand-by battery falls below 10.5V or a Low Batt
zone is activated. The output is restored when the voltage rises above 10.5V or the Low Batt zone is closed.
16=Fire (Latch)
The Fire output is activated whenever a Fire zone is activated. It latches on and remains active until a valid
code (level 2 or above) is entered.
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. Confirm
outputs will switch off when all groups which have been in alarm are unset.
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.
32=Omit (Reflex)
The Omit output is activated as soon as a zone is omitted from the system. The activation can be initiated
manually by omitting a zone at 11 = OMIT ZONES or by force omit at rearm. Response to either is control-
led by Option 56.7.06 = Comms.Parameters.Omit Sig.

01 Format
The communicator provides three signalling formats:
•DTMF
•SIA
•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)
DTMF is the fast format. When DTMF format is selected, the operation of the dialler is similar to that of a
hardwired 8-channel communicator.
Programming Channels
On selecting DTMF, the keypad displays 1 = Channels 1 – 8. All eight channels can be individually programmed. 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.
Channel Output Function

1 = Channels 1-8
Each channel can be programmed with the following attributes:
1 = Function
Any of the system output functions (see option 53 = Outputs) can be assigned to each of the channels
1 – 8. Channel 3 defaults to output function 04 = INTRUDER. Channel 5 defaults to 32=OMIT.
Channel 7 defaults to 20 = CONFIRM. All other channels default to 0 = NOT USED. 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 transmitted on channel 2 to
the ARC when there is a PA alarm activation.

4 = Groups
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
NOTE:The Groups attribute is only available if groups have been enabled on the system (refer to
Option 63 = OPTIONS) and is also dependent upon the programmed output function for
the channel.
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 Groups attribute, the groups that the channel 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 channel; if a dash (–) appears in
place of the group number, the group has been removed from the channel.
2 = Fixed Reports
1 = Low Bat Ch9
This option enables panel low bat condition signalling. In high speed format, this is transmitted as
a code 8 in channel 9
2 = Invert Open/Close
When enabled, set signals report a code 4 signal on channel 4. If disabled, unset signals report a
code 2 signal on channel 4 (DTMF only).
3 = Send Restores
This option determines when intruder restore signals are transmitted to the monitoring station (fast
format only).
0 = on unset
1 = syst restore
If set to 0, the restore signal is sent, after an alarm condition during a set state, when a user code
is entered to unset the system, or at the end of the confirm time window if an unconfirmed alarm
has occured.
If set to 1, the restore signal is sent after an alarm condition during a set state, when the system is
fully reset.
This option affects high speed format only.
This option defaults to 0 and is required by DD243.

2 = SIA (Security Industry Association)
The SIA format provides a highly detailed protocol that transmits detailed information including zone descriptions to a PC loaded with suitable software or to a SIA compatible receiver. The SIA format is capable of
transmitting over 70 different Galaxy 2 Series events (refer to Appendix A for further details).
On selecting the SIA format, the keypad prompts for the required SIA level to be entered, there are 4 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
1 = Triggers
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 the following table for the list of available triggers, and Appendix A 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.

Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
02 Telephone No.1
Telephone number 1 must be entered. This is the main telephone number that the alarms are signalled to. Up
to 20 digits may be entered, including control modifiers.
Note on dial Attempts
After a dialling sequence the panel waits 25 seconds from the last digit dialled, for a kiss-on tone. If nothing is
received in that time, the call will be considered a fault call and that attempt terminated. Between redial attempts, the panel will go back on hook for a minimum of five seconds and a maximum of 10. The system will
attempt to send the alarm signal calls for two minutes before generating a comms fail fault condition. The panel
will continue to send a message for a total of four minutes before giving up.
The B key is used to erase an existing telephone number. Each press deletes the last digit displayed.
03 Account No.
This is the site identifier. A unique account number must be entered, this can be up to a maximum of 6 digits
although 4 digits is the standard.
The B key is used to erase an existing number. Each press deletes the last digit displayed.
04 Receiver
The transmission destination can be set to one of two modes:
1 = Alternate
If alternate mode has been enabled using two phone numbers, then each call attempt will alternate between
Telephone Number 1 and Telephone Number 2. A comms fail condition will still occur 2 minutes after the
initial dial attempt, regardless of how many attempts have been made to each number.
2 = Dual
Reports to both numbers programmed in Telephone Number 1 and Telephone Number 2. The alarm must
be transmitted to both numbers.
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.
The B key is used to erase an existing number. Each press deletes the last digit displayed.

06 Dial Type
NOTE: This is a PSTN option only.
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.
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 = Intervals
This option determines the period between engineer test transmissions. The programmable range is 0 – 99
hours. The default is 24 hours.
NOTES:
1. If the Test Interval is 0 the Autotest is disabled.
2. The first test will happen at a time equal to half the programmed interval from when the option was
programmed, or whenever there is a cold power-up of the panel.
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
TEST. Press the ent key to send the engineer test.
The test attempts to transmit for two minutes. If the transmission is unsuccessful a COMM FAIL event is
logged.
NOTE: Activation of an engineer test will send a test signal via all Galaxy 2 Series communication modules.
09 No. of Rings
This option determines the number of rings before the dialler modem answers an incoming call; the programmable range is 00 – 15. The following table shows the panel operation.

Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
10 = Line Fail
This option has two settings:
0 = No
When set to No there is no internal alarm or indication in the event of a telephone line fail condition.
1 = Yes
If this option is set to Ye s , a line fail condition will cause a fault condition. An alert indication is given in the
unset state. A Line Fail condition does not exist until 30 seconds after loss of line voltage. A line fault indication
will then be given within 10 seconds if the debounce time is set to zero. However, this delay can be increased
to between 1 and 60 minutes by altering the debounce time. This is to cope with expected performance levels
of different telephone networks.
On selecting 1 = Yes a further sub-option becomes available:
1 = Debounce Time
The debounce time determines the response time before a line fail condition registers. It can be set from 0-60
minutes.
The audible indication of the line fail is cancelled by the entry of a valid user code but the Line Fail display
remains until 30 seconds after the Line Fail condition is restored.
The communicator still attempts to dial out in the event of an alarm, even if a Line Fail condition has been
detected.
11 = Fail to Comm
This option sets the comms fail time window. This is defaulted to 120 seconds. If the panel does not receive a
valid kiss-off signal from the Alarm receiver in this time, a Comms fail condition will occur, to indicate that the
message did not get through to the receiver. The panel will continue to attempt to send the signal for a further
period equal to the programmed window before giving up on that signal altogether.
The programmable range for Fail to Comm is 0 to 244 seconds.
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 three modes:
0 = Full
Access available at any time.
1 = When Unset
Access only when all the groups are unset.
2 = No Unsetting
Remote servicing software can gain access to system when set but cannot unset the system remotely.
88
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
56 - Comms (cont’d)
2 = Access Mode
This option determines what authorisation is required for remote service connection. There are two options:
1 = Direct Access
This permits access anytime. The remote centre can dial directly to the panel and gain access. If a call-back
number is programmed in option 3, then connection must be made by the call back procedure.
2 = Manager Authorise
This requires the user to authorise the remote servicing call via menu 47. The panel will not answer an incoming call without authorisation.
3 = Callback No.
Remote servicing software requests the Galaxy 2 Series to call back the programmed telephone number.
4 = Downloader ID
This option specifies an eight-digit ID number for panels communicating via the remote servicing software.
This option defaults to 99999999. This is a security number and cannot be viewed at the keypad.
17 = SMS Paging
As a secondary alarm notification to keyholders, facility for sending SMS messages to a maximum of 3 mobile
phones, is incorporated. This comms format will only transmit once any Primary signalling programmed, has
successfully completed or has finished all redial attempts.
The panel dials the message centre number and leaves a message for each of the mobile phone numbers
programmed, according to the selected event type groups.
If a call is being made to an SMS centre number and a new event occurs which needs to be sent to the main
alarm reporting station, the call to the SMS centre number will be completed normally before the primary
number is dialled.
The following table lists the event types for this option:
For each of the above events, the full text event log entry for each event, including the additional info display, is
sent as an SMS message. Note that for alarm activations, only the first two alarm activations in each set
period will be sent. This will be reset at rearm.
If a kiss-off is not received, the system redials for two minutes. These redials are within 5-10 seconds of the
previous call. There is no comms fail fault condition generated if the calls are not successful, but an SMS fail
event is logged.
Where SMS has been programmed to send via both the PSTN and GSM modules, the panel will always try
and send using the GSM module. The PSTN module will be backup only.
89
56 - Comms (cont’d)
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
1 = Mobile Nos
1 = Mobile 1
This selects the first mobile user.
1 = Mobile Number
This is a 20 digit telephone number and is the mobile phone number of the recipient of the message.
2 = Event Type
Refer to Table 27. Event types.
3 = Group Map
This option selects the system group or area from which messages will be sent.
2 = Mobile 2
As per mobile 1.
3 = Mobile 3
As per mobile 1.
2 = Centre No
This is a 20 digit telephone number and is the phone number of the SMS centre. This number is provided by
the SMS service provider and will be different for the PSTN line and GSM Module.
3 = Format (PSTN only)
This option allows message formats to be tailored for the message centre being used. The information should
be obtained from the SMS service provider. The following formats are used:
1 = TAP
This is the standard format for the UK. It sends the event log message in full for each event.
2 = UCP (SMS)
This is the format for alpha pagers. It sends the event log message in full for each event.
3 = UCP (Numeric)
This is the format for numeric pagers. It sends the contact ID format message for each event. The layout is as
follows:
ssss/r/ccc/gggg/dd?
ssss = Account number in numeric format.
r = Event activation or restoral. 0 = activation, 1 = restoral.
ccc = Contact ID code.
gggg = Group map showing group numbers 1234. Any missing group replaced with 0, eg 1034 (group 2
missing).
dd? = This is the data accompanying the event. For example, user, zone, peripheral etc. This can vary in
length.
4 = Site ID
This is a 16 character alphanumeric string and is used to identify the panel/site sending the message. If the
format is UCP (numeric), then the site ID is numeric. Only the first four characters are sent out.
90
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
5 = UCP Operation
This option specifies the coding of UCP SMS operation both from the panel and the replies from the SMS
message centre.
1 = Call Input
This option sets part of the SMS operation message from the panel to the SMS message centre to be 01
(default value).
2 = Call Input sup
This option sets part of the SMS operation message from the panel to the SMS message centre to be 03.
3 = SMS Message
This option sets part of the SMS operation message from the panel to the SMS message centre to be 30.
56 - Comms (cont’d)
6 = HW Priority
This option has three sub-options:
1 = Telecoms (Default Setting = 1)
5 = GSM (Default Setting = 0)
6 = STU (Default Setting = 0)
Upon selecting any of these sub options, the engineer is able to select a priority level for that particular device
of 0-2. The priority settings has the following meaning:
0 = This module does not send alarm information. It can only be used for remote servicing.
1 = This module always send alarm signals, dependant on the alarm reporting programming set up in the
modules own menu.
2 = This module will only signal if there is a fault condition on all modules with priority 1.
In this way, you can set up both modules with Priority 1 which means that they all signal all events. More
likely, you set up the Telecom module with priority 1, and the GSM with Priority 2 (or vice versa). That way
the GSM module does not dial unless there is a fault on the Telecom module.
The hardware in use will switch as soon as there is a fault condition on the main hardware path. It will also
switch after all redial attempts have failed on the main path.
7 = Parameters
This menu option has 12 sub-options as follows:
01 = Abort Delay
This is the time that the bells must sound, after an entry timeout alarm, before alarm signalling can occur. The
time is programmable within the range 00-99 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
02 = PA Delay
This parameter determines the delay between the activation of a full alarm and signalling to the ARC. The PA
Delay is programmable within the range 00-60 seconds. The default is 00 seconds.
91
56 - Comms (cont’d)
03 = Fire Delay
This parameter determines the delay between the activation of a fire alarm and the signalling to an ARC. The
Fire Delay is programmable within the range 00-60 seconds. The default is 00 seconds.
04 = 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
00-60 minutes. The default is 60 minutes.
05 = Part Intruder
This parameter determines under which set conditions the panel communicates following Alarm, Abort, Verified Alarm, Tamper and Set/Unset. There are four sub-options:
0.Full
1.Full & Part
2.Full & Night
3.All (Full, Part and Night) (Default)
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
This parameter does not affect any other signals.
NOTE: Set outputs only respond to Full Set conditions.The Any Set output will respond to Full, Part or
Night Set conditions.
06 = Omit Sig.
This parameter has two options:
0.Force Omit (default)
When set to 0 this option only signals automatic force omits.
1.All Zn Omit
