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.
10 Engineer (Reflex)
The Engineer output is activated while the engineer mode is being accessed.
11 Spare (Latch)
The Spare output has function: it is used to designate outputs that are not being used on the system.
12 Ready (Reflex)
The Ready output is active when all zones in the system (group) are closed.  This output activates in both the
unset and set conditions.
13 Security (Latch)
The Security output is activated whenever a Security zone is activated. The output is not subject the Rearm
parameter: it latches on and remains active until a valid code (type 2 or above) is entered.
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. The activation is delayed subject to the time entered in the 20=Power Delay parameter.
15 Battery Low (Reflex)
The Battery Low output activates whenever the control unit stand-by battery falls below 10.5V or a Battery
Low zone is activated. The output is restored when the voltage rises above 10.5V or the Battery Low zone
is closed.
16 Fire (Latch)
The Fire output is activated whenever a Fire zone is activated. The output is not subject to the Rearm
parameter: it latches on and remains active until a valid code (type 2 or above) is entered.
17 Horn (Latch)
The Horn output is a general alarm output and is activated by most zone types in both the local and full alarm
modes. For example, a Fire zone activation causes the Horn output to pulse on and off – on for 0.5 seconds,
off for 0.1 seconds. The Horn output is subject to the Bell Time, Bell Delay and No. Rearm parameters.

18 E/E Horn (Latch)
The Entry/Exit Horn output has a dual function:
• in an alarm condition its function is identical to that of the Horn output;
• during the unsetting and setting of the system it is used to provide an indication on the
status of the system.  The indication states are as follows:
• General Alarm - ON 500 msecs. OFF 500 msecs.
• Clear to Exit -Continuous
• Exit interrupted - ON 100 msecs. OFF 100 msecs.
• 75% Exit Time - ON 200 msecs. OFF 200 msecs.
• Set - ON 600 msecs. OFF 600 msecs (twice)
• Normal Entry - ON 800 msecs. OFF 200 msecs.
• 75% Entry Time - ON 200 msecs. OFF 200 msecs.
• Fire - ON 500 msecs. OFF 100 msecs.
• Chime - O N  500 msecs. OFF 400 msecs (twice)
19 Part Set (Reflex)
The Part Set output is activated when the assigned groups on the system are part set. This output is a Reflex
output and follows the part set and unset status of the groups.
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, however,
both groups must be assigned to the Confirm output to allow activation. Cross-group confirmation is control-
led by the Communications programming in menu 56.1, Int Telecoms or 56.5, Ext Telecoms. If signalling
is by DTMF format, cross-group confirmation will occur on groups that share the same confirm channel. In all
other signalling formats, cross-group confirmation will occur on groups that share the same account number.
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.
21 Line Fail (Reflex)
The Line Fail output is activated whenever a Line Fail zone is active or the telecom module detects and
sustains a line failure for more than 30 seconds.
22 Video (Pulse)
The Video output is activated by the Video zone when the system is set. This output can be used to activate
video recorder or video transmission systems.
23 Comm Fail (Latch)
The Comm Fail output is activated whenever there is a communication failure on the telecoms module tel-
ephone line. A fail to communicate event overrides the remaining Bell Delay period.

This output is activated when a battery load test is in progress. Refer to option
61.1.4 = Diagnostics.Latest.PSU Comms.
25 Wrong CD
This output is activated whenever a wrong code alarm occurs. That is, when six wrong codes in succession
are entered at the keypad. The output, by default pulses on for 90 seconds.
26 Alert (Latch)
The Alert output is activated when the control panel loses communication with one of the remote modules or
keypads.
27 Fire Delay (Latch)
The Fire Delay output is activated whenever a Fire zone is activated. The activation of the output is delayed
subject to the period determined by the 03=Abort Time parameter. The Fire Delay output is not subject to
the Rearm parameter: it latches on and remains active until a valid code (type 2 or above) is entered.
28 No Re-Arm (Latch)
The No Rearm output is activated on a full alarm event during the set state: it is subject to the Bell Delay
parameter. The No Rearm output is similar to the strobe output, but it stays on at the end of the bell time,
until unset.
29 Timer A (Reflex)
The Timer-A output is controlled by the Timer-A option (refer to option 65=Timers A/B) and activates in
accordance with the programmed on and off times assigned to the function.
30 Timer B (Reflex)
The Timer-B output is controlled by the Timer-B option (refer to option 65=Timers A/B) and activates in
accordance with the programmed on and off times assigned to the function.
NOTE:If the TIMER A or B outputs are programmed as LATCH mode, then they can only be reset by a
user code with access to all of the groups assigned to the relevant timer.
31 Walk Test (Reflex)
The Walk Test output is activated when a zone included in the walk test is tested (refer to option 31=Walk
Test).
32 Zone Omit (Reflex)
The Zone Omit ouput is activated as soon as a zone is omitted from the system by option 11=OMIT
ZONES or by option 54=LINKS.  If the Output Mode attribute is assigned as:
•Reflex (default) the output remains active until the zone is reinstated;
•Latch the output is reset on entry of a valid code.

33 Warning (Latch)
The Warning output is activated by the first occurrence of a high (1200-1300Ω) and low (800-900Ω)
resistance reading on each of the system zones in a single 24 hour period: the activating zone is recorded in the
log.
NOTE:The time period finishes at midnight, not 24 hours from first activation.
Subsequent high and low resistance readings from the same zone on the same day do not activate the output if
it has been reset by a valid user code.
NOTE:If a low resistance reading is followed by a high resistance reading, the Warning output activates on
the first occurrence of both activations.
34 Custom A (Latch)
The Custom-A output is activated whenever a Custom-A zone is activated.
35 Custom B (Latch)
The Custom –B output is activated whenever a Custom-B zone is activated.
36 Test (Pulse)
The Test output is activated at 12:00 hours each day for two seconds – the period of the Pulse can be
altered.  This output can be used to perform a daily test on a digicom connected to the system.
37 Reset RQD (Latch)
The Reset RQD output is activated when a system, tamper or PA alarm has occurred that requires to be
reset by the engineer (type 3.7) code.  Refer to option 51=PARAMETERS for details modifying the code
types assigned to the 06=System Reset, 07=Tamper Reset and 22=PA Reset parameters.
38 Mask (Latch)
The Mask output is activated whenever the zone resistance values returned by the RIO to the panel fall within
the range of the masked state (see Parameter 51.46, Zone Resistance). The output is not subject to  the
Rearm parameter: It latches on and remains active until a valid group code (type 2 or above) is entered.
39 Valid Code (Reflex)
The Valid Code output is activated by the entry of any valid code. If the Output Mode assigned is Reflex,
the output remains active while the user is accessing the menu and setting and unsetting the system. Once the
menu is exited or the system sets or unsets, the output is restored.
40 Fail Set (Latch)
The Fail Set is activated if the system (or assigned groups) fails to set within the time assigned in parameter
35=Fail to Set – refer to option 51=PARAMETERS.
41 Duress (Latch)
The Duress function is activated on entry of a Duress Code (any valid code followed by two #’s, or a code
assigned as a Duress Code using menu option 42 – Codes). The output is not subject to the Rearm param-
eter: it latches on and remains active until a valid code (type 2 or above) is entered.

42 Illegal Code (Latch)
The Illegal Code is activated 60 seconds after an entry of a single Dual Code or a code which is entered
outwith the Timer A  and/or Timer B times assigned to it in menu option 42.1.4=CODES.User
Codes.Time Zone.
43 Max Tamp (Latch)
The MAX TAMP output is activated when a MAX, MicroMAX or MAX
3 tamper is activated.
44 Abort (Latch)
The ABORT output is activated when a valid code is entered during the Abort period on system entry.
45 Unset
The Unset output is activated each time the system (or group) is unset. The default output mode attribute is
programmed as pulse, for two seconds. This can be used to activate a buzzer to notify a user that the system
has been unset, when using an RF fob.
46 Set Late (Latch)
The Set Late output is activated if the system has not been set by the programmed Monitor time – refer to
option 65.3.1=TIMERS.Autoset.Status.
47 U/S Early (Latch)
The Unset Early output is activated if the system has been unset before the programmed Monitor time –
refer to option 65.3.1=TIMERS.Autoset.Status.
48 Prewarn (Reflex)
The Prewarn output is active during the programmed prewarning period of the autoset function. The mode is
Reflex.  The Prewarn emits a constant tone if the autosetting of the system can be extended. If an extension
is not possible, the Prewarn output pulses.
49 Autoset (Reflex)
The Autoset output is activated when the system has been set by the autoset function – refer to option
65.3=TIMERS.Autoset. The default Output Mode attribute is programmed as Reflex, therefore the output
remains active until the system unsets.
NOTE:The Set is also activated when the system autosets.
50 DR. Masked
The DR. (detector) Masked output is activated when zones, programmed for zone activity checks, are not
activated in the unset state within the time period or set/unset cycles programmed in Parameter 51.61. The
zones are programmed for activity in menu 52.8.
51 – 65 Link A – O (Reflex)
Link output types have no inherent function: they are designed for use with option 54 = LINKS to provide the
engineer with a means of activating a specific output address.
53 - Program Outputs (cont’d)

53 - Program Outputs (cont’d)
Link outputs can be activated by any of the link option sources. The operation of the Link output is depend-
ent on the Output Mode and Groups assigned to the output. The Groups assigned to the Link must have at
least one group common to the link output, if that output is to be activated. This feature can be used to multi-
ply the number of different link outputs available on the system.
NOTE:When a zone function is the source of  a Link output type, then a point to point link is available and
is as effective as direct wiring.
66 RF Jam (Latch)
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 Super (Latch)
The RF Supervision output is activated whenever there is a supervision failure from any one of the super-
vised RF detectors configured onto the system. That is, when the system has received no signals (including
periodic check-in signals) whatsoever, from a particular detector within the programmed supervision period.
68 Bell Fail
The Bell Fail output activates whenever a zone causes a fault condition.
69 Low Volts
The Low Volts output activates when the voltage of the AUX outputs drops below 10V.
70 Lockout (Reflex)
The Lockout output is active between the ON and OFF times assigned to the Lockout Status (option
65.3.6=TIMERS.Autoset.Lockout Status).  The Lockout output mode is Reflex, therefore it remains
active until the lockout switches OFF.
71 Vibration Test (Pulse)
The Vibration Test function is used to test zones programmed as Vibration. This output is used in conjunc-
tion with Precheck (menu option 66 – Pre-Check: - Mode: 4 – Forced Check). The Vibration Test output
sends a five second positive removed pulse to the vault sensors. Any sensor not activated by the test is re-
ported by the pre-check function and prevents the system from setting.
72 – 75 ATM-1, ATM-2, ATM-3, ATM-4 (Reflex)
The relevant AT M output is activated when the respective AT M zone type is omitted. This output is a Reflex
output and follows the omit status of the AT M zone types.
76 Fault (Latch)
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), Mask.
SMS signalling faults will not activate the fault outputs.

77  Bell Test
This output activates when Bell Test is selected via menu 32. This causes the bell and strobe output to
activate. This output is normally used to activate a relay to cut power to the bell.
78  Comms Test (Pulse)
This output is used for remote routine inspection, via the downloader software. When a remote inspection is
carried out, this output will activate for 10 seconds in order to trigger the test input of an external comms
device.

Option 54 – Links
The Links option offers a powerful method of interconnecting zones, output functions, codes, keypads, and
MAX modules. The links table is constructed by creating a link between one of the source types and a valid
destination type. Activating the source of a link activates the destination – this can be used to switch outputs
on and off to omit zones, codes, keypads and MAX modules from the system.
The links function allows MAX/MicroMAX/MAX
3 destinations to be assigned a (7) star function. If the
destination is programmed as MAX/MicroMAX/MAX
3 and the (7) star is allocated, the assigned MAX/
MicroMAX/MAX
3 door relay will open for the duration the link is active. During this period no MAX alarms
are generated if the door contact timeout is exceeded. The on-board horns are deactivated and the green
open LED will be illuminated throughout.
When the link is deactivated the MAX/MicroMAX/MAX
3 horn sounds and the door relay remains open for
the programmed relay duration period. - simulates an egress button activation.
If a max is disabled as the destination of a link, a card swiped at the max will still cancel an alarm or unset the
system. However it will not activate the relay or do a max function.
The number of links that can be assigned on each of the Galaxy systems is:
•Galaxy 48   =   64
•Galaxy 144 = 128
•Galaxy 520 = 256
Programming Links
On selecting the Links option, the details of Link 01 are displayed. If no link has been assigned the screen
displays 01 NOT USED.
The details of each link can be displayed using the A and B keys, or a specific link can be selected by entering
the required link number, for example 05, 29.  When the required link is displayed, press, the ent key to begin
the programming procedure. The system prompts for the Link Source to be assigned. If groups are set then
some sources and destinations will not be available for programming:
1.Press the # key to select the required link source from the available types (refer to Table 23. Link
Source ).
2.Press the A or B keys to select the actual link source (for example, the zone address or the user code
number).
3.If the source is required to toggle the destination on and off, press the 7 key. The source is prefixed by a
7 on the display.
NOTES:
1.The link destination is activated by the first operation of the source and then deactivated by the second
operation.
4.Press the ent key; the source of the link is assigned and the keypad prompts for the link destination to be
allocated.
5.Press the # key to select the required link destination from the available types (refer to Table 24. Link
Destination).
6.Press the A or B keys to select the actual link destination (for example, the zone address or the output
type). To cancel a link program the source as not used.
7.Press the ent key.

8.If the link destination is d). Output Type and Groups have been enabled (refer to option 63=OP-
TIONS) then each link must be allocated to at least one group (use the A or B key to move between the
group blocks; press keys 1 – 8 to assign the relevant groups in each block) and press the ent key.
NOTE:The groups determine which of the assigned output type destinations the link activates.
9.The details of the assigned link are displayed.
NOTE:If the link is currently active, the source is separated from the destination by a + (plus) symbol.  If the
link is not active a – (negative) symbol is displayed.
10.Press the A or B key to move to the next link to be assigned and repeat steps 1 –9 or press the ent key

Table 24. Link destination
NOTE:
¹¹There are 16 Link timers in the system. These Link timers are triggered by the Latch and Reflex
timer destinations. Both the Latch and Reflex options operate the same set of Link timers. They just
start the timers in different ways. A Latch timer can restart the Link timer while it is running. A Reflex
timer cannot.
Destination Type* ModifierNotes
a) Not used - The link is not operational.
b) Zone Address -When the link is active, the zone is omitted from
the system
c) User Code -When the link is active, the users PIN and MAX
card are not operational.
d) Output Type -When the link is active, all outputs programmed
with the selected function are activated.
e) Output Address -When the link is active, the specific output
address is switched on. Please note that when
using the output address as the destination, the
deactivation of the link will switch the output off
immediately, overriding any pulse time or latch
mode of the output programming.
f)  Keypad Address -When the link is active, the buttons on the keypad
will not operate.
g) MAX Address OffWhen the link is active, the MAX reader will not
read cards.
OnWhen the link is active, the door lock relay for the
reader will constantly be in the unlocked state.
The door contact input will also be bypassed so
that no alarm will occur.
h) Latch Timer** -When the link is deactivated, the Link Timer
starts to count down from the Latch timer value.
Each subsequent activation of the link will restart
the timer count down to this value. When the
timer reaches zero the Link timer activates and it
can trigger another link. If the link is continuously
activated within the timer period, the counter will
never reach zero and the Link timer will be held
off. The application for this would be a link that
didnt activate so long as another event continues
to happen with the time period.
i) Reflex Timer** -The Reflex timers operate identically to the Latch
timer except that the timer cannot be restarted
while it is running. A Reflex timer destination will
still start a Link Timer running in the same way as
a Latch timer destination.
An application for this would be a delayed action
li nk.
