Menu 60 - Engineer 2 Options
Option 61 - Diagnostics
This option allows the engineer to interrogate the system, providing valuable information on the operational
status of the Galaxy 2 Series and connected peripherals. The Galaxy polls each peripheral and reports the
successful communications during this period as a percentage.
There are seven sub-options. On selecting each of the sub options, the display shows the first of that type of
peripheral that is configured to the system. The scroll keys can be used to view additional peripherals of that
type if more than one is present.
1 = Keypads
This gives the module type, address and the communication level between the Galaxy 2 series panel and the
keypads.
2 = Zone RIO’s
This gives the module type, address and the communication level between the Galaxy 2 Series panel and the
zone RIO’s.
3 = RF Modules
This gives the module type, address and the communication level between the Galaxy 2 Series panel and the
RF Transceivers. In addition, pressing the # key gives two more screens; the RF noise level along with the
maximum noise level.
NOTE:5800 series receivers do not give the above information.
4 = Prox Readers
This gives the module type, address and the communication level between the Galaxy 2 Series panel and the
prox readers.
5 = PSU’s
This gives the module type, address and the communication level between the Galaxy 2 Series panel and the
SPSU’s.
6 = Reset Max/Min
This sub-option allows the engineer to clear all the saved max/min information used in the diagnostics of the
PSU, Zones (hardwire and wireless) and the max noise level on the receivers. The message WARNING!!!
ent=RESET is displayed on the keypad before the reset takes place.
7 = GSM
This gives the module type, address and communication level between the Galaxy 2 Series panel and the
GSM module.
61 - Diagnostics 
						

							96
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
The Galaxy 2 Series polls each module 32 times every second and reports the successful communications
during this period as a percentage. This is calculated by the ratio of successful poll responses received from
each module. Typical figures are:
• 70% and above - satisfactory communication level
• 50 - 69% - Module requires monitoring
• 49% and below - remedial action required
Option 62 - Full Test
This menu option allows the engineer to test the bells and signalling on a busy occupied site. This is achieved
by simulating a full set but only making one or two zones active. The rest of the zones in the intruder system
are omitted for the duration of the test.
On entering the option, the engineer is presented with a display to choose a zone for the test. The first zone
that the user has access to is shown on the top row and the cursor keys can scroll through all the zones.
1025 Intruder 1025 Intruder1025 Intruder 1025 Intruder

ENT=START ENT=STARTENT=START ENT=START
ENT=STARTTop row alternates with descriptor
Pressing enter will select the zone shown for test.
The system will then ask for a second confirm zone. The cursor key selects yes or no.

If Ye s is selected, the system will allow the user to select a second zone in the same way as the first. If the
engineer selects No or when the second zone is selected, the system omits all other intruder system zones and
sets instantly (no exit delay). All signalling and sounder activations will be as per a full set. The system is unset
in the normal manner.

Option 63 - Options
This menu has one sub-section:
1 = Groups
There are three sub-options:
1 = Group Mode
This option enables group mode. When enabled, each group on the system will behave as an independent
area that can be separately set and unset. There are two settings:
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
If a group mode is switched off, the system will behave as though all zones, users and outputs are in group 1.

Set     YNN Set     YNNSet     YNN Set     YNN
Set     YNN
2 = Common Group
Group 4 is intended to be a group that will cover a common access area (such as an entrance foyer). This
group will set and unset automatically depending on the state of the other individual areas. When all the other
individual areas are set, the common group will set along with the last group. As soon as any of the individual
groups are unset, the common group will unset. In order to determine which individual groups need to be set
before the common group sets, the group map in this option can be programmed. The screen is as shown
below. Pressing the appropriate group number toggles the group status between Y and N. A  Y under a group
number means that that individual group needs to be set before the common group can set.
3 = Comms Set Map
This option selects which groups must be set before intruder communication can be enabled. This means either
full set, night set or part set. The screen should appear as follows:
GROUPS  1234 GROUPS  1234GROUPS  1234 GROUPS  1234
GROUPS  1234
Set     NNNN Set     NNNNSet     NNNN Set     NNNN
Set     NNNN
This option only affects Set, Intruder, Confirm, Omit, Abort and the appropriate restore signals. All other
signalling is not part of the Intruder comms system.

Notes on Group Operation
Certain functions have different settings for each group. The operation concerned is detailed below.
Bell Time
The bell time for common bell output is limited to the maximum time programmed. That means, if an alarm has
occurred on group 1 and after 80% of the bell time has elapsed, an alarm occurs in group 2, the bells only
continue to run for the remaining 20% of the bell time.
Entry and Exit times
Entry and exit times will always be individual to each group.  The exit time can be terminated for all groups by
a final zone or exit terminator in the common group except when any group in the common group map has
infinite exit time.  The last group to enter the settling state will be prevented from setting until the common area
completes its own settling period.
Upon entering a PIN code, group choice is given if any of the user’s areas are not in alarm or entry.  If one of
those areas is in entry or alarm, then those groups in entry or alarm will be unset automatically.
If the user belongs to a group that is not part of the common group map, then their PIN code will have no
effect on the common area.
Either each individual group will need to have its own entry door, or the keypad will be situated in the common
area. In the later case, entry to the individual group areas, is prevented until the group is unset, in order to
comply with DD243.

SECTION 8:  RF HINTS AND TIPS
How to Install RF
The system works with the current 5800 receivers on ECP and/or the RF Portal on RS485.  A maximum of
two RF receivers can be fitted to the system (two on the ECP bus, two on the RS485 bus or one on each
bus), to support up to 44 zones. The two RF receivers are in addition to the prox keypads. All programming
is local in the panel. Up to 23 RF fobs and 23 prox tags/cards can be added to the system.
RF Zones
To ease installation, there is a built-in signal strength reading for each Alpha or V2 protocol detector. This is
viewable from the keypad, in walk test (option 31), in display zones (option 21) and from program zones
(option 52).
All RF device handling is done in the Control panel. No device processing takes place at the receiver. This
allow all transmitting devices to signal to the alarm panel via the nearest available receiver (Roaming) as per
the 5882 system, but including Rolling Code fobs.
RF Stop Set
There is a facility to prevent setting if any of the supervised peripherals have not sent a supervision signal within
the previous 20 minutes. An indication will only be given if  RF Check is enabled (see  menu
51.50.6= Parameters.RF Options.RF Check) The devices involved are indicated to the user at the time of
starting the setting procedure. This condition is not a fault. The 2HR supervision fail is a fault. This stop-set is
merely a warning to the user that the system cannot determine the status of the detector.
NOTE:This function only checks zones with  RF supervision enabled (see menu 52.5.3=Zones.RF
Options.Supervision)
RF Diagnostics
Facilities are provided to allow the panel to record and pass the following information to the remote servicing
software for remote diagnostics.
1. Minimum signal strength for each detector from each receiver.
2. Current signal strength for each detector from each receiver.
3. Maximum background noise for each receiver.
4. Current background noise for each receiver.
5. Transmitter battery status.
NOTE:Point 5 is only applicable to 5800 series receivers.

SECTION 10:  REMOTE SERVICING
The Galaxy 2 Series control panel can be remotely and/or locally serviced by a Personal computer (PC). This
is accomplished when the Remote Servicing Pack is installed on the PC. Remote servicing is controlled in
menu options 56.01 and 56.12.
Telephone Line Set-Up
The control panel has an on-board modem. This allows remote servicing of the control panel without the need
for a separate comms module.
Alternatively, the GSM Module can be used for remote servicing when a land line is not available.
Direct Wire Set-Up
Alternatively, the PC can be connected directly to a single Galaxy 2 Series control panel, via the Program
Header and used to locally service the site. A special lead (part number A228) is required.
Remote Programming
All programming with this software can be done remotely from a PC. The following functions can also be
carried out:
• the panel can operate with all user functions.
• the event log can be viewed.
• routine remote inspection can be carried out. Some diagnostic information can be uploaded from the
control panel to the PC to allow remote site servicing.

SECTION 11:  FLASH UPGRADE
The software that runs the Galaxy 2 Series is stored in “flash memory”, rather than traditional prom chips. If
required, the software can be upgraded to a newer version using the flash programming kit, part number
A221. The kit comprises of a windows application which runs on a PC, and the flash programming lead which
connects the Galaxy 2 Series PCB to the PC comm port. The actual software upgrade file for the Galaxy 2
Series will be supplied separately, as required by Honeywell Security.
