Section 1: Installation procedure
Planning
Site the panel near to a source of a.c. power.
If GSM/GPRS is fitted, check that the panel location will provide acceptable radio
reception.
If you intend to use wireless detectors and an RF Portal is fitted to the panel, check that
the panel location will provide acceptable radio reception. If radio reception to the panel
is not possible, consider installing one or more external RF Portals on the data bus.
If required, plan groups. Groups are completely independent sub-systems, and are also
known as wards, partitions or areas. The system can be split into a maximum of 8
groups that can be programmed to operate independently from each other.
Install the panel and a keypad
1. Mount the panel to the wall using the mounting holes shown, allowing 340 mm of free
space away from the panel for the lid to swing down.
2. Connect at least one keypad onto the RS485 data cable (for help refer to Install
peripheral devices on page 15). This is required to set up and program the alarm system.
3. Connect the phone line to the RJ11 socket or terminal block connector.
4. Install the battery, but DO NOT connect. If possible, use a fully charged battery.

Install the power supply Galaxy Flex Installer Manual

Install the power supply
Safety instructions
Fixed wiring and connection to the electricity supply of this product must be carried out and
inspected in accordance with the territorial wiring regulations by a competent person. In the
UK the IEE Wiring Regulations in accordance with BS7671 apply.
A power cord with a fitted plug is supplied. You can, as an alternative, discard the plug and
wire directly to the mains supply via a switched 3 A fused connection. If you do this, read
General Safety below.
You can also connect to the mains supply via a non-time-delayed fuse, or a type B MCB at
the distribution board, not exceeding 6 A. If this method is used, fit an isolation switch near
to the unit to allow disconnection when necessary.
General Safety
The power supply is supplied with a standard plug. In the UK, if you need to change the fuse
in this plug, use a 3 A fuse to BS1362. Always refit the plastic fuse carrier when replacing
the fuse. (Units supplied with a European plug do not have a fuse internal to the plug).
If replacing the plug, follow any instructions that are supplied with the new plug. Connect
the brown wire to the line connector (L) terminal, and the blue wire to the neutral (N)
terminal. Do not connect brown or blue to the earth (E) terminal. This appliance does not
require an earth connection. Dispose of the old plug promptly and safely to avoid the danger
of it being plugged into a live socket.
Parts supplied:
Switched mode PSU with figure-8 a.c. input socket and jack plug output cable
A.C. power cord with 2-pin plug and figure-8 plug
Fused mains terminal block and mounting plate

Wire detectors to zones
Note: Learning wireless detectors is covered on page 20.
Zones are the individual input circuits that are fully programmable using the Zones menu
(52 ent). This section describes how to change zone default settings, how to terminate
unused zones, and how to connect detectors.
Zone addressing
The zone address format is:
The RIO address range is 00 to 12, and each RIO can handle up to 8 zones.
Note: 00 and 01 are the fixed onboard RIO addresses.
Address onboard zones as follows:
Zone Address Zone Address
1 1001 7 1013
2 1002 8 1014
3 1003 9 1015
4 1004 10 1016
5 1011 11 1017
6 1012 12 1018
If required, use the Descriptor menu (52 ent 2 ent) to name your zones.

Galaxy Flex Installer Manual Wire detectors to zones
17
Zone configuration
Note: The circuit debounce time (the period the zone must remain in a state to register a
change in condition) is 300 ms.
The default zone configuration is 1 kΩdouble-balanced with fault monitoring via a 3 kΩ
resistor (preset 11). In the following configuration a mask condition is generated if an alarm
and fault are signalled at the same time.
1. Terminate any unused zones inputs with a 1 kΩresistor and program them as SPARE
(18).
2. If required, reprogram zone configurations and the resistance preset values using the
Zone Resistance menu (51 ent 46 ent).
3. If required, customise each zone to a specific preset using the Resistance Select menu
(52 ent 9 ent).
4. Limit the cable run on each zone to no more than 500 m. For presets 11 and 12, limit
the cable run to no more than 100 m.
Detector connection
Wire detectors to zone terminals according to the following diagram:
Additional zone configuration information
Zones can be programmed with different resistance ranges for zone status activation (see
Zone Resistance [51.46]).
If a detector has separate fault and mask indications use the wiring shown in Figure 4.

Wire detectors to zones Galaxy Flex Installer Manual
18
Figure 4 Option 12 - Double balanced 1k fault/mask monitoring wiring
When this wiring mode is used, ensure only one detector is set to report fault conditions, and
limit the number of detectors or contacts of any type to a maximum of 2.
Note: The recommended maximum cable run from a zone to a detector is 500 metres in all
other configurations.
In end-of-line mode use the wiring shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 Option 10 - End of Line Zone/Detector wiring
Multiple detector wiring
Multiple detectors can be wired into a single zone when using preset 1 as shown in Figure 6.
The maximum number of detectors that can be connected to a single zone is ten.
Figure 6 Zone to multiple detector wiring
Wire keyswitches
Latching or spring loaded keyswitches can be used to set and unset the panel. To program
keyswitches, refer to Program Zones [52].
If the keyswitch latches, the transition from 1 kΩto 2 kΩinitiates the setting procedure of
an unset system, the transition from 2 kΩto 1 kΩinstantly unsets a set system. If the system
is already set, then the transition from 1 kΩto 2 kΩhas no effect. If the system is unset, the
transition from 2 kΩto 1 kΩhas no effect. This is programmed as a 

Keyswitch in the
Program Zones [52] option.

Galaxy Flex Installer Manual Connect outputs
19
If the keyswitch is spring-loaded (returns to its normal position), the transition from 1 kΩto
2 kΩinitiates the setting procedure of an unset system and instantly unsets a set system, the
transition from 2 kΩto 1 kΩ– the return to the normal position - has no effect. This is
programmed as a Keyswitch in the Program Zones [52] option.
Wire terminator buttons
Zones programmed as Push-Set (terminator) buttons can be open going closed (2 kΩto
1 kΩ) or closed going open (1 kΩto 2 kΩ). The first activation of the terminator button
initialises its status to the system.
Note: The first activation of a terminator may not set the system as this can be the
initialisation routine. If the system continues setting, push the button again. The
system will set on the second push. This initialisation only occurs on the first setting.
All subsequent setting routines set on the first push of the terminator.
The wiring of the terminator and keyswitch zone type is shown in the following figure:
Figure 7 Terminator and keyswitch zone wiring
Connect outputs
Outputs are addressed in the same way as the zones. If using onboard outputs, connect and
address as follows:
O/P Address Function O/P type Connection
1 1001 Bells Open-collector,
switched negative Connect load between OP1 and +12 V
2 1002 Strobe Open-collector,
switched negative Connect load between OP2 and +12 V
3 99 Exit/Entry (E/E) horn AC audio to drive an
internal loudspeaker Connect load (8–32 Ω) between OP3 and +12 V
If required, use the Program Outputs menu (53 ent) to modify the default settings.

displayed for 2 seconds.
If there is already an identical serial number on the system, the message 'zone
already allocated' is displayed followed by the zone details. Either accept the
situation and learn the next wireless device from step 5, or delete the serial number
from this zone and repeat the learn procedure.
If the detector is a multi-loop device, select the 2=Loop No menu option, and then
enter a loop number (1 – 6, or 0 for a single input device).
6. If the RF device does not learn, remove the battery, short circuit the battery terminals,
replace the battery and repeat the above procedure.
7. Repeat the procedure from step 2 for each wireless device.
