Option 52 - Zones
Zones are programmed in menu 52. Each zone has a set of attributes as shown in the following table:
Selecting Zones
On entering the option, the first zone on the system is displayed; the zone address, function and group as-
signed are displayed on the top line, the descriptor is displayed on the bottom line.
From the display of the first zone, any zone on the system can be displayed by pressing the A or B keys or by
entering the address of a specific zone.
The zone is selected for programming by pressing the ent key; the first zone programming attribute 1=Func-
tion   is displayed.
Attributes
The attributes can be stepped through by pressing the A or B keys or directly selected by pressing the at-
tribute number (1–6). Once the required attribute is on display, press the ent key to gain access for modifica-
tion.
Once the attribute has been assigned press the ent key to save the programming and return to the attribute
selection level.

1 = Function
This option allows the function of the zone to be selected. The zone can be assigned a different function for
each set mode (full, part and night set) to allow maximum flexibility. For instance, the zone can be pro-
grammed with the ‘Intruder’ function in Full and Part Set, but programmed as ‘Not Active’ in Night Set.
On selecting this option, the main zone function is selectable using the cursor keys, or by direct entry of the
code number for the zone type.
Pressing the ent key will apply the selected function to all set modes and then give the option of selecting a
different function for the Part Set mode. Pressing the # key instead, will only save the function for the Full Set
mode, and then display the Part Set function. Again, the function is selected using the cursor keys or direct
code entry.
If no change is required for Part or Night Set modes, the esc key can be pressed to exit the zone function
option. Pressing the ent key will save the function and then give the option of selecting a different function for
the Night Set mode.
Select the night set function and press the ent key or the esc  key to cancel.
NOTES:
1. If the main function is a 24hr function (panic, fire, tamper or keyswitch etc) then the part set and night
set function cannot be altered separately. The zone must maintain the same function throughout.
2. In the unset mode, the zone function will be the same as that set for Full set.
3. The # key can be used to view each of the modes without reprogramming.

2 = Descriptor
Each zone can be assigned with an alpha-numeric description of up to 16 characters (see Table 16, Zone
Text Characters). The descriptor is assembled from the character set in this table. On selecting the
Descriptor attribute, the currently assigned descriptor (blank by default) is displayed on the top line.  Each of
the keys on the keypad, when pressed, offers a choice of character on the bottom line. Press the key repeat-
edly to choose a character. A two-second delay accepts the character and the flashing cursor moves on. Press
and hold down the * key to delete all the characters to the left or highlight a character and press the # key to
delete a single character.
For a full description of how to use this function, refer to Text Programming.
3 = Soak Test
Soak test. This option allows the zone to be placed in a test mode for the programmed number of days (maxi-
mum 14). If the zone is activated when it would normally have caused an alarm, then a soak event is recorded
in the log and no alarm is generated. The soak test days will be reset to the start. If no activations occur each
day, then the number of days are decreased by one, each day at midnight. If the counter reaches 0 days, then
the zone is reinstated fully into the system and normal alarm operation is resumed.
4 = Omit Enable
If the omit attribute is set to 1 = Enabled, a user with the appropriate authorization can manually omit a zone
from the system. It has no bearing on the force omit for re-arm/re-instatement. Manually omitted zones are
omitted for one set period only.
5 = RF Options
These options allow the zone to be set up with a wireless detector.
There are six options selectable with this attribute:
1. Serial number
This allows the detector’s unique serial number to be entered by typing the number or by using the auto-learn
function. To use the auto-learn, press * and when prompted, activate the detector’s tamper switch. On learn-
ing, the signal strength is displayed.
2. Loop number
On 5800 series detectors, this selects the loop input to be used on this zone.
3. Supervision
This enables or disables supervision of the wireless detector.
4. Auto reset
The Auto reset function can be enabled to force the zone to automatically close after five seconds, if no close
signal is received from the transmitter. This will be useful on certain installations.
5. Last signal
This shows the strength of the last signal received from this detector for V2 peripherals; 5800 series detectors
will not show that signal strength.
6.Lowest signal
Lowest Signal will show the lowest signal strength received from that device since records were reset in menu
61. This is for V2 peripherals only; 5800 series detectors will not show this signal strength.
NOTE:If two receivers are fitted, both signals will be shown. If only one receiver is fitted, the reading for
that receiver only will be shown. The receiver not fitted will show a reading of 0, eg. 9/0.

Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual52 - Zones (cont’d)
6 = Groups
This option selects the group that a zone belongs to. The zone will always default to group 1, but can be set to
work under any group.
Zone Functions and Descriptions
00 Not Active
The zone is not active in alarms but tampers are monitored
01 Final
Zones programmed as Final initiate the unsetting procedure and terminate the setting procedure.
NOTE:The setting procedure can only terminate if  the Exit Time (Parameter 51.04) is set to zero.
Opening the Final zone when the system or group is set starts the entry timer; opening and then closing the
Final zone during the exit procedure sets the system or assigned groups, providing all the zones are closed.
The opening (+) and closing (–) of Final zones during the setting and unsetting procedures are recorded in the
event log.
Opening a Final zone during the set procedure is only reported during settling.
02 Exit
Zones that protect the entry and exit routes are programmed as Exit. During the setting and unsetting proce-
dures Exit zones have a non-alarm operation. If the Exit zone is activated while the system is set - without the
unsetting of the group being initiated - an Intruder alarm condition is activated.
Opening a Exit zone during the set procedure is only reported during settling.
03 Intruder
The Intruder function is inactive when the system is unset. When the system is set, activation of an Intruder
zone causes a full alarm activation that requires to be reset with an authorized code.
04  24 Hours
As an intruder zone but permanently active.
NOTE:In the unset state, a 24 hour alarm is signalled. In the set state, an intruder alarm is signalled.
08 Push Set
This zone function is used to terminate the setting routine. The system sets when the Push Set zone, usually a
push button, is activated. The Entry/Exit Horn stops immediately the button is pressed; the system sets after
five seconds, allowing the doors to settle to the closed state. The Push Set zone remains inactive until the next
setting routine.
Only a Push Set zone in the common area will cause all setting areas to set, otherwise it will only set in the
area it is in. This will leave the other setting areas to continue setting until a Push Set zone in their area
activates.
The Push Set zone can be either 1kΩ going to 2kΩ or 2kΩ to 1kΩ - refer to Figure 9
(Keyswitch/Push-Set Zone Wiring)  for wiring details.
Activating a Push Set zone during the set procedure is only reported during settling.
NOTE:For this type of zone function to operate, Parameter 51.08, Exit Terminate, has to be set. 
						

							77
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual52 - Zones (cont’d)
09 Keyswitch
The Keyswitch function allows a zone to be used as an on/off switch for the system or assigned groups.
Operating a Keyswitch zone when the system is unset starts the timed full setting routine, therefore the exit
time is applicable.  The system sets when the exit time expires or a Final or Push Set is activated.
If the system is set, operating a Keyswitch immediately unsets the assigned groups; there is no entry time
countdown.
The Keyswitch operation is as follows: 1kΩ to 2kΩ sets the system; 2kΩ to 1kΩ unsets the system.
NOTE:The activated zones are not displayed on the keypad when a Keyswitch is used to reset the alarm.
Keyswitch operation with groups enabled
When groups are enabled, a keyswitch zone will set and unset only the group that it is programmed to.
However, if the keyswitch is programmed to the common group (group four), then it will set and unset
the groups in the common group map (see Option 63.1.2).
13 PA
The PA (Personal Attack) function is continuously operational. Activation of this zone type overrides the Bell
Delay parameter and causes an instant full alarm condition that requires to be reset with an authorised user
code.
14 PA Silent
The PA Silent function is identical to the PA function, with the exception that there is no audible or visual
indication of the activation; that is, no bells or strobes are activated.  Only the PA output (normally channel 2
on the digital communicator) signals the alarm.  The activation (+) and restoral (–) of PA Silent zones is
recorded in the event log.
17 Link
This has no alarm function but can be used to activate links.
18 Spare
The Spare function allows any zones that are not being used to be ignored by the system; the resistance
readings from the circuit - including the tamper conditions - do not activate an alarm condition.
NOTE:It is recommended that all unused zones are programmed as Spare and that a 1kΩ 1% resistor is
connected across each of these zones.
19 Fire
The Fire function is continuously operational. When activated, a FIRE zone overrides the Bell Delay pa-
rameter and activates an instant alarm (Bell, Strobe and Fire). The keypad buzzer and control panel horn
output, if fitted, emit an interrupted tone (one second on, 0.5 seconds OFF), easily distinguishable from all
other alarm conditions. Any valid code entry cancels the Fire activation. 
						

							78
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual52 - Zones (cont’d)
20 Tamper
The Tamper function is continuously operational. When a Tamper zone is activated (1kΩ to 2kΩ), a tamper
alarm is generated; this requires to be reset by an authorised user code. If a tamper condition (open or short
circuit) occurs, a tamper alarm is also generated.
23 Batt Fail
This function is used to monitor the voltage of a back-up battery connected to a power supply. It causes an
Aux. Power Supply fault condition.
25 AC Fail
This function is used to monitor a remote power supply. In the event of a power failure the AC Fail zone is
activated; the activation (+) and de-activation (–) of the zone is recorded in the event log.
53 Secondary Entry
As exit function but changes to entry upon the force omitting of a final zone.
54 Assistance
This function activates a “personal assistance required” alarm in both set and unset conditions. Bells and
sounders are activated and an assistance message is signalled.
55 Bell Fail
This function causes a bell fault condition.

Option 53 - Outputs
This option allows the operation of all the system outputs to be programmed. Outputs numbered 0001 to
0008 are the outputs from the trigger header. Outputs numbered 1001 to 1004 are the standard outputs on
the main PCB. Outputs on expansion modules are shown if fitted. Each output has a sub menu containing
attributes as shown:
1. Function
Assigns the output function that activates the output.
2. Polarity
This selects if the output is normally off (positive) or normally on (negative). Positive means that the output
is 12V going to 0V when activated. Negative means that the output is 0V going to 12V when activated.
3. Groups
For output types where groups are programmable, this selects the groups that an output responds to. An
output can respond to 1, 2, 3 or 4 groups.
NOTE:Reflex means that the output stays on until the condition clears.
Latch means that the output stays on until a valid user logs on (PIN or card).
Latch* means that these outputs are latched but can be forced off by bell delay, bell time or confirm
timeouts.
Pulse means that the output stays on for five seconds and then switches off again.
4. RF Options
Option not available at present.
Selecting Outputs
On entering the option, the first output on the system is displayed; the output address, function and mode are
displayed on the top line, the polarity and assigned groups are displayed on the bottom line.
From the display of the first output, any output on the system can be displayed by pressing the A or B keys or
by entering the address of a specific output.
The output is selected for programming by pressing the ent key; the first output programming attribute
1= Function   is displayed.
00=Not Used
This function is used to designate outputs that are not being used on the system.
01=Bell (Latch)
The Bells output is activated on a full alarm event when the system is set. This output is subject to the Bell
Time and Bell Delay parameters.
02=Strobe (Latch)
The Strobe output is activated on a full alarm event during the set state. This output is subject to the Bell
Delay. The Strobe output follows the Bell Time, but latches on after the last rearm.
03=Panic (Latch)
The PA output is activated whenever any of the PA zone types activate. It latches on and remains active until a
valid code, with the appropriate reset level, is entered.
53 - Outputs 
						

							80
Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual
04=Intruder (Latch)
The Intruder output is activated on a full alarm event during the set state.
05=Tamper (Latch)
The Tamper output is activated whenever a circuit tamper or lid tamper occurs. The output is not subject to
rearm: it latches on and remains active until a valid code, with the appropriate System Reset level, is entered.
06=24 Hour
The 24 Hour output is activated whenever a 24 Hour zone is activated. The output is not subject to rearm: it
latches on and remains active until a valid code, with the appropriate System Reset level, is entered.
08=0V Detector Reset (Pulse)
This output is always on (0V) but pulses for five seconds upon setting or system reset to reset any latching
detectors.
09=Set (Reflex)
The Set output is activated when the assigned groups on the system are set. This output is a Reflex output
and follows the set and unset status of the groups.
11=Comms Test (Pulse)
This output activates any time a test signal is sent to the Alarm Receiving Centre.
14=AC Fail (Reflex)
The AC Fail output indicates the status of the a.c. (mains) power supply. The output activates when the a.c.
supply fails or an AC Fail zone is activated. The output is reset when the a.c. supply is restored or the AC
Fail zone is closed. This output is subject to Parameter 56.7.4=Comms.Parameters.Power Delay.
15=Low Batt (Reflex)
The Low Batt output activates whenever the control unit stand-by battery falls below 10.5V or a Low Batt
zone is activated. The output is restored when the voltage rises above 10.5V or the Low Batt zone is closed.
16=Fire (Latch)
The Fire output is activated whenever a Fire zone is activated. It latches on and remains active until a valid
code (level 2 or above) is entered.
20=Confirm (Latch)
The Confirm output is activated when there have been activations on two separate zones: the second activa-
tion must occur within the Confirm Time Window. The zones do not have to be in the same group. Confirm
outputs will switch off when all groups which have been in alarm are unset.
NOTE:The Confirm output is used to give positive identification that a genuine intruder alarm condition has
occurred and to minimise the possibility of false alarm activations.
32=Omit (Reflex)
The Omit output is activated as soon as a zone is omitted from the system. The activation can be initiated
manually by omitting a zone at 11 = OMIT ZONES or by force omit at rearm. Response to either is control-
led by Option 56.7.06 = Comms.Parameters.Omit Sig.
53 - Outputs (cont’d) 
						

							81

44=Abort (Pulse)
The Abort output is activated when a valid code is entered to unset the system following an intruder alarm.
The output stays on for one minute and then switches off.
45=Unset (Pulse)
The Unset output is activated each time the system (or group) is unset.
51=Link (Reflex)
Activates when link zone is activated see 52.1
66=RF Jam (Reflex)
The RF Jam output is activated whenever any of the RF RIO’s configured onto the system detect a significant
level of interference to cause radio jamming.
67=RF Supervision Fail (Reflex)
The RF Supervision Fail output is activated whenever there is a supervision failure from any one of the
supervised RF detectors configured onto the system. That is, when the system has received no signals (includ-
ing periodic check-in signals) whatsoever, from a particular detector within the programmed supervision
period.
68=Assistance (Latch)
Keypad assistance hot key activation or assistance zone.
70=Any Set (Reflex)
Activated when system is Full Set, Part Set or Night Set.
71=Bell Fail (Reflex)
Activates when bell fail zone is activated see Option 52.1
72=RF TX Low Battery (Reflex)
The RF TX Low Battery output is activated whenever an RF detector sends a low battery condition to an
RF receiver.
76=Fault (Reflex)
This output will activate any time there is a fault condition present on the panel and will clear when all the fault
conditions have cleared.
The following fault types will activate the fault output:
Line fail (any module), ARC comms fail (any module), RF jam, RF low battery, RF supervision failure, Bell fail
(from a bell fail zone), AC fail (panel, AC zone or power supply), Battery fail (panel, battery zone or power
supply).
