Setup

In order to get the system up and running, mount the panel and
connect and address all peripherals as described below, before
finally powering the system.

Peripheral Wiring

The Galaxy 2–44+ has two peripheral data buses. The following
peripherals can be connected to the panel:

RS485 Bus: Mk7 LCD Keypad/Keyprox; RIO; PSU; Wireless
Receiver.
NOTE: The system must be wired in a daisy-chain

configuration. Spur and star configurations must not be
used. 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 be used.

Peripheral Addressing

The address on most peripherals is set by either jumpers or a
rotary switch. These must be set before the system is
powered up. See the instructions with the peripheral for details.

For keypads on the ECP bus, the address is set by a local
programming mode (pressing 1 & 3 together for 5 seconds after
power up). However, the system will need to be repowered after
any address is altered, in order for the new address to be
configured into the system.

Galaxy 2–44+ Quick-start Guide

No two peripherals connected can share the same address,
regardless of the data bus to which they are connected.

NOTE: The prox readers on the ECP bus share the same address
allocation as the wireless receivers. If a receiver has been
configured on with address 4 or 5 then that address will not be
available for use with an ECP prox reader.

The following table identifies the available peripheral addresses:

Mains Supply Wiring

This product is not suitable for installation, maintenance or
connection by the user. A competent, qualified engineer,
with for example NSI approval, must carry out installation
and maintenance.

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
readily identified, 3A fuses must be fitted to
both circuits.

Connect the wires to the mains terminal block in the panel
as follows:

• Blue (neutral) – connect to terminal N

• Green/Yellow (earth) – connect to terminal E

• Brown (live) – connect to terminal L

First Boot-up

After all the peripherals have been wired and addressed, apply
power to the system. The keypads will configure and show the
default banner display.

Default User Codes

Default User Code: 1234
Default Engineer Code: 112233

Menu Access Operation/Navigation

Only valid codes can access the Galaxy 2 Series menu options.
Type the code then press ent to access the menu. Data entry, on
both ECP and RS485 keypads, is via the 0-9 function keys and
the * and # on the keypad.
The A> and <B keys are cursor or scroll keys and are used to
scroll through options in menus.
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 5
minutes in which to enter his code. 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.

To bring the system back out of Engineer Mode and reinstate all
the tampers, from the banner, the engineer enters his code, but
then presses the esc key rather than the ent key. A 30-minute
window is activated to allow the engineer back into engineer
mode without re-authorisation by a user.

How to Set and Unset

To Full Set the system, the user types their code then presses the
A key.

To Part or Night Set the system, the user types their code then
presses the B key. The user now has a choice of pressing 1 to
Part Set or 2 to Night Set.

To Unset the system, the user types their code then presses ent.
Alternatively, presenting a valid tag at a prox reader or pressing
the ‘Off’ key on a wireless keyfob can also unset the system.

How to Cancel an Alarm, Tamper or Fault

Alarms, tampers and fault conditions can be cancelled by
entering a user code at a keypad. When the code is entered, the
conditions activated will be displayed. The scroll keys (A> and
<B) can be used to view all the events. Alarm conditions can also
be cancelled by pressing the ‘Off’ button on a wireless keyfob or
by presenting a valid tag at a proximity reader. However, a code
will need to be entered at a keypad in order to see and restore the
alarms.

How to Restore an Alarm

Alarms, tampers and fault conditions will be restored provided:

• The cause has cleared and

• A user with sufficient authority has viewed the condition on a
keypad (any user if technistore).
If a user is unable to restore an alarm, then a manager or engineer
will have to be called.

Zone Address Format

Galaxy zones are given addresses rather than zone numbers. This
is because the zones are grouped into blocks of 8 called ‘RIOs’.

On board the panel there are 2 RIOs. The first RIO (0) has only 4
zones (addressed 1001 to 1004) and the second RIO (1) has 8
zones (addressed 1011 to 1018). As can be seen, the right hand
digit is the individual zone number and the second digit is the
RIO address, which can be 0 to 5, including all the expanders.
Each zone can also be given a text descriptor. By default, it is
blank.
All individual zone programming is done in menu 52.

Zone Wiring

The default zone configuration is 1k double-balanced as shown
below:

Any unused hardwire zones should always have a 1k resistor
wired across the zone terminals to terminate them.

The configuration for the zones and the resistance values used
can be reprogrammed from menu option 51.46 = Parameters.
Zone Resistance. The cable run on each zone should be no more
than100 m.

Output Address Format

Galaxy outputs are addressed in the same way as the zones.
However, there are only 4 outputs on each RIO. The on-board
outputs are all on RIO 0 and have the addresses 1001 to 1004.
RIO 1 on-board does not have programmable outputs.

All individual output programming is done in menu 53.

Output Wiring

The on-board outputs are all open-collector switched negative.
The load that is to be controlled by an output should be
connected between +12 V and the output terminal.

Note: Output 1002 is set up by default as a 16-ohm speaker
driver. This means that the output is gives an AC audio signal.
This is not suitable for driving a normal sounder, relay, LED, etc.
However, the mode can be changed in menu 51.15 if a normal
output mode is needed.

Power Wiring

Auxiliary power can be drawn from the AUX+ terminals shown.
The‘common’ terminals on the zones are 0 volts.

Communications

Built-in Comms

The Galaxy 2 Series has a built-in telephone dialler. The
incoming telephone line should be wired to the ‘Line in A B’
terminals. The alarm panel should always be the first device on
the phone line. Additional extensions should be connected to the
serial terminals marked ‘A B’ next to the phone symbol. This
will allow the panel to snatch the line when it needs to dial out.

All comms programming is done in menu 56.1.

GSM Module Option

As an option, a GSM comms module can be added to provide a
backup communication path in the event of failure of the
telephone line. Please see the installation instructions supplied
with the GSM module.

All programming for the GSM module is done in menu 56.6

External Stand-alone Dialler

An additional external dialler can be connected to the Galaxy 2
Series by way of the Trigger header. The connection comprises a
cable that plugs on to the 12-way header in the centre of the main
PCB. The other end of the cable connects to the terminal board
which contains screw terminals for each core. The pins of the 12­way header have the following functions:

+12V

Line Fault

Reset

GND

The +12 V supply can supply a maximum of 100 mA but this
reduces the total capacity of the panel’s PSU by the same
amount.

The function of the trigger outputs can be programmed in menu
53, under the output addresses 0001 to 0008.

Dual-path Signalling

When more than one comms device is fitted to the panel, one can
be programmed as the main comms device and the other can be
programmed as the backup/fail-safe that will only signal if the
main device fails (line fault). This is controlled by menu 56.7.
Each device can be given a hardware priority. Setting the priority
to 0 means that device will never signal. Setting it to 1 means that
it will always signal. Setting it to 2 means that it will only signal
if the main device fails.
If both GSM and PSTN are set to 1, then PSTN will be the main
device and GSM will be the back-up.

Menu Summary

All the functions of the panel are accessible via the menu. The
top level of the menu is summarised below:

10 = Setting 20 = Display 30 = Test

11 = Omit Zones 21 = Zone Status 31 = Walk Test
12 = Timed Set 22 = View Log 32 = Output Test
13 = Part Set 23 = System Version
14 = Night Set 24 = Print
15 = Chime

40 = Modify 50 = Engineer 1 60 = Engineer 2

41 = Time/Date 51 = Parameters 61 = Diagnostics
42 = Users 52 = Zones 62 = Full Test
44 = Mobile Nos. 53 = Outputs 63 = Options
47 = Remote Access 56 = Comms
48 = Level 3 Access 57 = System Print

Each of these headings has its own sub-options that can be
accessed using the ent, esc and scroll keys.

Text programming

Certain options allow text to be entered. In these options, text is
entered in the similar way to text messaging on mobile phones,
by repeated presses of the number keys to select the appropriate
letters. The keys have the following functions in text
programming mode:

Key Output

1 & - 1 @ ‘ ( ) full stop, comma, # * +

esc Cancels the edit without saving changes

ent Save string entry and exit

* Deletes character to left of cursor

# Deletes character at the cursor

Code Tampers

When enabled (see menu option 51.14 = Parameters.
Lockouts), and 10 wrong codes are entered in succession, the

device is locked. The lockout lasts for 2 minutes. After a further
10 wrong code entries, a tamper is logged and a signal is given.
The device is again locked out for 2 minutes.
Note: Wireless keyfobs and tags can still operate. Conversely, if
a wrong tag is presented to a prox or an invalid wireless fob is
activated for the same number of attempts, the prox and receiver
devices are locked out, but the keypads still operate.
