INTRODUCTION
The Galaxy 8 plus and 16 plus V2 control panels used with your ADT Alarm
System are designed to the highest specifications and requirements using the
most advanced software and hardware technology.
The system is designed to satisfy the requirements of domestic and smaller
commercial installations, yet is flexible enough to provide ease of use and
operational versatility.
The system will normally consist of a boxed end-station, usually out of sight,
up to three remote LCD keypads, signalling equipment and a variety of
detectors.
The two line 16 character LCD keypads enable the user to Set and Unset the
system and operate the various available functions which are described in
this User’s Guide.
This User’s Guide contains the information required to operate the system, a
Glossary of Terms is given overleaf. An ADT Engineer will program and
commission the system to meet your requirements.
Thesystemissimpletooperate but usersareadvisedtoreadthis guide carefully
before using the system and retain it in a safe place for future reference.

APPENDIX B  AVOIDING
FALSE ALARMS
False alarms are inconvenient and may give rise to Police response being
withdrawn from your site which may affect your insurance cover.
Here are twelve points to help you avoid false alarms:
1. Ensure that you understand how to operate the alarm system. In your
absence the system should be operated by someone thoroughly
instructed in its use.
2. Ensure that:
• you know your User Code
• your Password is readily available if you need to quote it to the
Alarm Receiving Centre.
3. Before leaving the premises ensure that all doors and windows are
securely closed.
4. Ensure that detection devises such as Infra-red beams or movement
detectors are not obstructed by stock or building partitions.
5. Where Passive Infra-red (PIR) or movement detectors are installed
make sure that the area is kept free from animals and birds. Particular
attention should be paid to swinging signs, fluorescent lights and
Christmas decorations. Electric fans, heating or ventilation systems
should, where possible, be switched off before the system is Set.
6. Always follow the setting and unsetting procedure and keep to the
entry and exit routes agreed with ADT Security Systems.
7. Treat the alarm system with care and ensure that it is not accidentally
damaged.
8. ConsultADT SecuritySystems about alterations to your building and
itscontentsifyou think theymayaffectyour system oritsperformance.
9. Always report any obvious reasons for unwanted or false alarms to
ADT Security Systems. If necessary an engineer will be sent to check
the system where it is established that a technical fault exists.
10. If opening or closing times are monitored by the Alarm Receiving
Centre be sure you notify them of any changes from the agreed times
using your password where necessary.
11. While the system will be provided with a stand-by battery for use in
theeventof ana.c. mains failureevery effort shouldbe made torestore
the a.c. mains supply as soon as possible.
12. Make sure that regular maintenance checks are carried on the system
to minimise the risk of technically related false alarms.

APPENDIX A  ALARM
AND HELP MESSAGES
ALARM IS ACTIVE: The system is currently in alarm and must be can-
celled by a valid User Code.
PA RESET REQUIRED: The User Code that cancelled the alarm does not
have the authorisation to reset the system. A User Code with the PA Reset
attribute enabled must be entered. The PA switch which created the alarm
may also have to be reset.
ENGINEER RESET REQUIRED: This message is displayed when a tamper
alarm occurs. Tamper alarms usually require an engineer to visit the site and
check all modules on the system.
INVALID CODE: The code that was entered is not registered in the system
memory.
DUPLICATED CODE: When assigning new User Codes, the code entered
has already been assigned to a code.
TIMED TIMEOUT DISABLED: When setting the system, the Exit Time has
been set to infinity and a Final zone or Push-to-Set zone is used to act as the
exit terminator.
TELECOM FAILURE:A faulthas occurred with the telephone line or remote
signalling which will require engineer attention.

KEYPAD INFORMATION
The Galaxy system is programmed and operated from the LCD keypads.
Figure 1 Galaxy Mk 3 LCD Keypad.

modify options.
View (Aand B) Keys: are used to Set the system and to step through the
menu options during programming.
Enter (ent) Key: The ent key allows you to Unset the system, to access the
menu options and to accept programming selections.
Escape (esc) Key: The esc key permits you to cancel any modifications
made to a menu option and allows you to return to the previous menu option
level. The esc key also aborts the setting routine if pressed during the Exit–
Time from the same keypad used to initiate the setting.

Power LED:The green power LED remains lit whenever the system is con-
nected to the a.c. mains power supply and a charged stand-by battery. A
mains power failure is indicated by the LED flashing slowly. A fuse or bat-
tery failure is indicated by the LED flashing quickly.
Note: A fuse or battery failure will require an Engineer Reset after the fault
has been corrected.
Your User Code: is a four digit personal identification number which iden-
tifies you and allows you to operate the system.
Note: Entry of an invalid code will cause the keypad to display the message
INVALID CODE. Entry of six consecutive invalid codes will cause a
tenminutekeypad lockout duringwhich the keypadhornswill activate
and the keypad will display the message ALARM IS ACTIVE. No
further code entries will be recognised during the lockout period.

If,during the entry routine, you stray from the agreed entry routeand activate
a zone in a protected area an audible alarm occurs.
Alarm Abort
Notes: If the system is programmed for Alarm Abort a period of 90 seconds
after expiry of the Entry Time is provided to enable the user to cancel
an alarm caused by exceeding the Entry Time or deviating from the
entry route.
If the 90 second Alarm Abort time is exceeded then a full alarm may
