SECTION 6:  GENERAL OPERATION
Galaxy 2 Series Users
Users are split into two main access levels under EN50131.
Level 2:Normal users who operate the system
Level 3:Engineers and master users who can alter PIN codes and system settings.
NOTE:Engineers can only alter their own PIN code
NOTE:Level 1 is considered to be the system in standby mode, where no users are currently accessing the
system.
Users
For a user to gain access, a valid PIN must be entered first. After entry of the PIN, the enter key must be
pressed and the user will be ‘logged on’. At this point any alarms and alerts are silenced. The set status of the
system (or each group that the user is assigned to) is displayed for five seconds. Pressing the ent or the scroll
keys during this five seconds, ends this time and the first event or first menu option is displayed on the keypad.
Engineers
Entry to engineer mode is authorised by a user in menu option 48 = Level 3 Access. Following this the
engineer will have five 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.
To bring the system back out of engineer access mode and reinstate all the tampers from the banner, the
engineer enters his code but presses the esc key rather than the ent key.
When exiting engineer’s mode, there is a 30 minute window where the engineer’s code can access the menu
again. After this time, user authorisation will be required.
General Menu Operation
The Galaxy 2 Series provides various menu options for operating and modifying the functional performance of
the system.
To access any of the functions, a user must first log-in by typing a valid pin code. See SECTION 2, QUICK
GUIDE, for details.

Night Setting
Enter: User code and press B.
Press 2 = Night Set
This is identical to the Part Setting procedure, except the keypad display indicates that the system is being
Night Set.  Only the zones which have the Night attribute enabled (refer to option 52.1.3 =
ZONES.Function.Night Set), are included. By default, the exit time will be silent.
Cancelling the Setting
The Full, Part and Night setting routines can be cancelled, before the system sets, by pressing the esc key on
the keypad used to begin the setting. To cancel the setting on another keypad, type in a user code and press
A> or ent.
Unsetting the System
To unset, the user can either:
1. Type their code & press ent.
2. Present a valid prox tag to a prox reader.
3. Press the OFF button on a valid RF fob.
A successful unset is accompanied by a double beep. If there are no alarms, the words “System Unset”
appear on the display for five seconds.
If the system has been in alarm, then entering a code to unset logs the user in, so that the alarms can be dis-
played.
Cancelling Alarms and Alerts
Following each alarm activation, the alarm must be cancelled and the system reset.  The alarm is cancelled by
entry of any valid user code (level 2 and above) assigned to the group that has alarmed or by presentation of a
valid proximity card to a reader or keyprox.  The alarm sounders, Bell and Strobe outputs are silenced and
the keypad displays information on the zones that have been activated during the alarm.
If the user code entered is not of a sufficient level to reset the Galaxy, the keypad displays the message
MANAGER RESET REQUIRED or ENGINEER RESET REQUIRED depending on the type of
alarm and level of reset required.
Alert Indication
Tampers and faults cause an alert condition in the unset state. At access level 1 (no users logged on) in the
unset state, no indication can be given except for an alert indication. This can be audible (0.5 seconds beep
every 30 seconds), and/or by the display shown below, until a user logs on.
Whether or not the audible and/or visible elements of alerts are given is governed by Option 51, Parameter
23 = Alert Indication.
If a fault, tamper or alarm condition occurs while a user is logged on, the user is put back to the banner and
the alert/alarm indication given as appropriate.

When systems have been set up for Technistore reset, a Technistore anti-code must be entered at the keypad
to complete the restore process. If a Technistore reset is required, the restore banners shown above will be
replaced by the following:
Call ARC Call ARCCall ARC Call ARC
Call ARC
Quote XXXXX Quote XXXXXQuote XXXXX Quote XXXXX
Quote XXXXX
Where XXXXX is the quote code generated by the internal Technistore algorithm. While this is on display, the
system accepts both User PIN codes and the valid anti-code. Typing the anti-code cancels the technistore,
and gives an opportunity to view alarms. If viewed, the system restores all the outstanding alarms, tampers and
faults, provided the conditions have cleared. The display returns to the Standard Access level 1 banner.
Overriding of Faults and Tampers
Whenever a user logs in, the display shows any unrestored faults and tampers. If the condition cannot be
cleared and restored, then to enable the system to be set, a facility to override the condition is included.
When a user tries to set the system, the system displays any conditions and allow the user to scroll through
multiple conditions. If the user has the authority to override the condition, the following display accompanies
the condition;
Restoring alarms
Alarms, faults and tampers will be restored provided:
1. The cause has cleared
2. An authorised user PIN code or anti-code has been entered.
3. The conditions have been viewed on the keypad display after steps 1 and 2 above.
If a user cannot restore all the conditions, a temporary banner is displayed to indicate that a manager or
engineer is required to restore the system. This lasts for 30 seconds before the normal banner is displayed.
Alarm Restore
AC Fail AC FailAC Fail AC Fail
AC Fail
ENT to Continue> ENT to Continue>ENT to Continue> ENT to Continue>
ENT to Continue>
If the user cannot override the condition, the ENT to Continue will not be displayed.
The user can override each authorized condition, by pressing the ent key while the condition is displayed on
the keypad. Each and every condition is individually displayed and overriden.
Pressing enter omits the condition for one set period only. Pressing escape returns to the previous banner.
When setting the system with an overriden fault or tamper condition, the display indicates the overriden func-
tion in place of the set mode by showing the omit message as detailed in the omit menu function. The Override
condition is logged, and will last for one set period only. When all the groups that are affected by the override
condition become unset, the override status is cleared. An override restore is logged at unset.
If, during a setting attempt, there are conditions that haven’t restored and cannot be overriden, then the system
will not set. If the user presses escape or two minutes without button presses elapses, the display shows the
Reset required banner, as detailed above, then returns to the main banner.

Text Programming
Certain functions on the Galaxy 2 Series can be set up with text descriptors or names. When one of these is
edited the keypad will initially show the name that is currently programmed.  The A and B keys can be used to
move the edit cursor right and left in the name.  Pressing the * key will delete the character to the left of the
cursor and move the cursor one position to the left (Left Delete).  Pressing the # key will delete the character
at the cursor (Right Delete).
Pressing any of the numeric digit keys will enter character input mode, allowing a new character to be entered
at the cursor position.  If there is any space to the right of the name, a new character will be inserted.  If there
is no more space, new characters will overwrite existing characters.
There is a list of characters associated with each digit key, as shown in the following table.  Pressing the same
key multiple times scrolls through the list until the correct character appears on the keypad.  So, for example,
to insert the letter R the 7 key would be pressed three times.  The behaviour of the B key changes while
character input mode is active.  Instead of moving the cursor to the left, it displays the previous character in
the list.  If a digit key is pressed too often by mistake this feature can be used to avoid having to cycle round
the list to get back to the correct character.
Character input mode can finish in a number of ways:
· After two seconds without a key press the text entry will finish automatically and the cursor will move to
the next position.
· A different digit key can be pressed.  This will finish the first character input and begin character input at
the next position.
· The A key can be pressed.  This is useful to avoid waiting for two seconds for the current character
entry to expire when the same digit key is to be used for the next character.
When the edit is complete, pressing the ent key will save the new name.  Pressing the esc key cancels the edit
without saving any changes to the name.

Code Tampers
When enabled (see Option 51, Parameter 14 = Lockouts), when 10 wrong codes are entered in succes-
sion, the keypad is locked. The lockout lasts for two minutes. After a further 10 wrong code entries, a tamper
is logged and a signal is given. The keypad is again locked out for two minutes.
NOTE:  RF fobs can still operate.
Conversely, if a wrong tag is presented to a keyprox or an invalid RF fob is activated for a similar number of
attempts, the prox and receiver devices are locked out, but the keypads still operate.
If five wrong codes are entered from a keypad, followed by five wrong codes on a keyprox, both devices are
locked for two minutes.
After a further 10 wrong code entries, a tamper condition is logged and a signal is given. Both devices will be
locked out for two minutes.
Hot Keys
Three hot key functions are available on the keypads, by pressing a combination of two buttons. These func-
tions mimic the Panic, Fire and Assistance zone types.
On the RS485 keypads the following combination is used:
Fire:* & 8
Panic:* & 2
Assistance:* & 5
On the ECP keypads the following combination is used:
Fire:3 & #
Panic:* & #
Assistance:1 & *
