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 following peripherals can be connected to the panel:
RS485 Bus: Mk7 LCD Keypad/Keyprox; MAX3; RIO;
PSU; Ethernet Module; RF Portal.
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.

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

Bus Line Zone numbe
r
RIO Address
Zone Address Format
1 0 1 5
Galaxy zones are given addresses rather than zone
numbers. This is because the zones are grouped into
blocks of 8 called ‘RIOs’. The left hand digit is the data
bus line number. The second and third digits are the RIO
address, which can be 00 to 05. The right hand digit is the
individual zone number on the RIO (1-8). Each zone can
also be given a text descriptor. By default, it is blank.
There are 2 RIOs on board the panel (Line 1). The first
RIO (00) has 4 zones addressed 1001 to 1004 and the
second RIO (01) has 8 zones addressed 1011 to 1018.
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 than 100 m.
Detector wiring
Detectors are wired to a zone as in the following diagram:
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. That means that it 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 terminals shown.
The‘common’ terminals on the zones are 0 volts.

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 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 into Engineer Mode
Entry to Engineer Mode is authorised by a user in menu
option 48 = Engineer Access. Following this, the
engineer will have 5 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.
How to get out of 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.
NOTE: If there are faults or tampers that have not been
restored, the panel will not exit from Engineer Mode. Press
esc to get back to the Engineer banner and then restore the
faults as detailed below. Once all faults and tampers are
restored, the panel can be brought out of Engineer mode.
How to Set and Unset
To Full Set the system, the user types their code then
presses the Akey.
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, Tamper or
Fault
Alarms, tampers and fault conditions will be restored
provided:
• The cause has cleared and then;
• A user with sufficient authority has typed their code at
the banner and viewed the condition on a keypad (any user
if Technistore is used).
If a user is unable to restore an alarm, then a manager or
engineer will have to be called.
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.
Menu Summary
All the functions of the panel are accessible via the menu.
The top level of the menu is summarised below:

for that zone. Wireless detectors are configured within the
programming of the individual zones in this menu.
53=Outputs
In this menu, the function of each individual output can be
customised. Select the output address using the scroll keys
(A> and <B) and press ent to access the parameters for
that output.
56=Communications
In this menu, Alarm signalling to the ARC can be
configured. First, select the module type from the list using
the scroll keys (A> and <B) then press ent to access the
parameters for that module. The account number,
Telephone nos/IP address and format need to be
programmed to enable basic communications.
A sub option called parameters allows all signalling
parameters to be configured. This include part set
signalling options and signalling delays. 42=Users
In this menu, use the further sub menu called User Codes
to program the attributes of individual users. Each user on
the system can have the following assigned: PIN code,
Prox tag, Type (authority level) and Group.
To program a prox tag, select the user required then select
option 6 Prox Tags. On a keyprox, press 1& Atogether
then present the user’s tag to the prox symbol at the
bottom of the keypad. The number will enter
automatically. Press ent to save.
For use on a MAX3simply type in the number printed on
the max tag.
The tag can then be used for setting and unsetting.
Holding tag briefly in front of prox symbol/max reader
will unset, holding tag for 3 seconds in front of prox
symbol will begin setting procedure as long as there are no
outstanding resets required.
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

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 (2–44+ only)
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 12-way header
have the following functions:
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.
