Honeywell Galaxy 2-44+ Quick Start Manual

1

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that any personnel installing
a Galaxy 2 Series panel undertake appropriate training as
supplied by Honeywell Security. This training is supplied free of
charge and can be arranged by contacting Honeywell Security
on:
Tel: [phone]
Email: [e-mail]

A full technical installation manual will be given to each installer
at the training session. Additional manuals can be purchased
from your distributor.

Additionally, the installation manual is available from the
Honeywell Security website: www.honeywell.com/security

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.

NOTE: Keypads can be wired to the control panel
independently, in series or in star configuration. The maximum
total cable length for peripherals connected to this line is 100 m.

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.
