Introduction
The Flex alarm system control panel, back-up battery and power supply unit are housed in
an ABS plastic housing with swing down lid that is designed for wall mounting. The
housing is available in two sizes: M (10 Ah capacity) and L (17 Ah capacity) and can
accommodate the following optional modules:
GSM/GPRS module
Ethernet module (fitted in a peripheral slot)
RF Portal for use with RF detectors and devices
Figure 1 Flex panel internal layout

System architecture Galaxy Flex Installer Manual

System architecture
Figure 2 shows the full range of peripheral devices that can be connected to the system via
the RS485 data bus, the Intellibus, and other specific connection points on the control panel
PCB (see PCB layout and connections on page 12).
Figure 2 System configuration
Notes: You can place the panel in the middle of an RS485 data bus chain. If you do this,
remove the 2-pin 680Ωline terminal link close to the battery connector (Figure 3)
and fit an EOL resistor to each end of the data bus.
When there are two or more Intellibus spurs that exceed 100 m, fit 120ΩEOL
resistors to the ends of the two longest spurs and remove the 120Ωline terminal link
close the Intellibus connector on the panel (Figure 3).
The Intellibus can have up to 4
cable runs from the panel. The
total length of all cables must
not exceed 400m, If only one
cable run is used the total length
can be up to 1000m. Set the
120 end-of-line resistor on the
last module on each of the two
longest spurs only

Galaxy Flex Installer Manual Planning
13
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. Ensure the lid can be
opened sufficiently to be removed or to allow you access to wire the panel.
2. Connect at least one keypad onto the RS485 data cable (for help refer to Install
peripheral devices on page 22). This is required to set up and program the alarm system.

Install the power supply Galaxy Flex Installer Manual
14
3. On the telecoms terminal block (see Figure 3), connect the phone line to the terminals
marked LINE A and B.
4. Install the battery, but DO NOT connect. If possible, use a fully charged battery.
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
Warning: Do not use any other PSU.
A.C. power cord with 2-pin plug and figure-8 plug
Fused mains terminal block and mounting plate

Galaxy Flex Installer Manual Wire detectors to zones
17
Wire detectors to zones
Note: Learning wireless detectors is covered on page 27.
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 support up to 8 zones. Camera zones
use these addresses in order of connection: 8001, 8011, 8021, 8031 and 8041.
Note: RIO 100 and 101 are the fixed on-board RIO addresses.
Address on-board zones as follows:
Zone Address Zone Address
1 1001 (Final) 7 1013 (Intruder)
2 1002 (Exit) 8 1014 (Intruder)
3 1003 (Intruder) 9 1015 (Intruder)
4 1004 (Intruder) 10 1016 (Intruder)
5 1011 (Intruder) 11 1017 (Intruder)
6 1012 (Intruder) 12 1018 (Intruder)
If required, use the Descriptor menu (52 ent 2 ent) to name your zones.
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.

Wire detectors to zones Galaxy Flex Installer Manual
18
1. Terminate any unused zones inputs with a 1 kΩresistor and program them as SPARE
(Menu 52.1.x.1=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 or for normally-closed (N/C)
loops for zone status activation (see Zone Resistance [51.46] and Appendix H).
If a detector has separate fault and mask indications use the wiring shown in Figure 4.
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.

Galaxy Flex Installer Manual Wire detectors to zones
19
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 key switches
Latching (bi-stable) and spring-loaded (monostable) key switches can be used to set and
unset the panel. The zone must change state between 1 kΩand 2 kΩin each case.
To configure the keyswitch for latching operation ensure that the * modifier is used when
programming the Keyswitch function in zone programming (menu 52.1.x.1)
See the Keyswitch zone function in menu 52 for full details of the configuration options.
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.

Connect outputs Galaxy Flex Installer Manual

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 on-board 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.

Secure the tamper circuits
1. If an external siren/bell/warning device is fitted, connect the tamper return line from the
device to the T terminal.
2. If an external siren/bell/warning device is not fitted, connect the T terminal directly to
the 0 V terminal.
3. If a relay output is required, fit the Output Option Board.
4. Replace and secure the panel cover.
