Accessing Engineer Mode
User Authorized Access
Entry to the engineer mode is authorized by a user with access to menu option 48.1  = ACCESS AUTH.
Engineer.  The user selects this option and presses key 1 to enable engineer access. The engineer code must
then be entered within five minutes of the option being enabled. A single entry of the engineer code directly
accesses the mode, without activating an engineer tamper alarm. If the code is not entered within the five
minute period, the engineer code is invalid and has no effect. Once the engineer mode has been accessed,
there is no time limit on the period that the engineer can remain in the mode.
1.Enable Engineer Access:
User Code (12345) + ent + 48 + ent + ent + 1 + ent (press esc to return to the banner)
2.Access Engineer Mode
Engineer Code (112233) + ent
On accessing engineering mode, any group that is set becomes inaccessible to the engineer. The set groups
cannot be assigned to zones, outputs and any other functions permitting group allocation. When the engineer
code is entered three things happen:
• All system tampers become isolated.
• The engineer is given access to the full menu.
• The banner message is changed to indicate engineer mode.
Exiting from Engineer Mode
To exit from engineer mode and return to the normal banner enter, carry out the following operation:
1.Return to the engineer banner
2.Enter the engineer code
3.Press the esc key
The Galaxy carries out the following checks:
1.That there are no module or zone tampers. If there are any module or zone tampers the escape
procedure is aborted.
2.That it is communicating with all of the attached modules.
If any modules are reported as missing from the system, the Galaxy prompts the engineer to
remove each of the missing modules by pressing the 7 key. If the engineer does not remove the
missing modules, the escape procedure is aborted.
3.That all of the access doors (controlled by the on-line MAX) are closed. If any of the access doors
are open, then the exit procedure is halted until all of the doors are closed.
4. That there are no power failures on the galaxy system, such as AC fail, fuse fail or battery fail.

 User Access
Aborting the Exit Engineer Mode Procedure
If the esc key is pressed at any point while engineer mode is being exited, before the normal banner is dis-
played, the exit procedure is aborted and the system remains in engineering mode.
Multi User Access
The Galaxy allows multi-user access. A maximum of 4 users (3-48), 8 users (3-144) and 16 users (3-520)
can simultaneously carry out tasks on the system.

 Setting the System
R = Ready
F  = Fault (group is unset and at least 1
zone is open)
P = Part Set
S (flashing)  = selected for setting
S (steady)  = already set
L = Group is locked out and cannot be unset.
-  = Group is not available to the user
Section 3:  Setting Options
Setting the System Using a PIN
Full Setting
Enter:USER CODE + A
If groups are enabled and the user code has been assigned group choice then the keypad displays the set
status of the available groups:
Pressing the keys for the groups toggles the 
R (Ready) to an S (set flashing).
NOTE:If using the Galaxy 3-520 system the groups are displayed in blocks of eight. Each block can be
viewed by pressing the A or B keys.
Once the required groups have been selected press the ent key to begin the setting procedure.
If groups are not enabled or the user does not have group choice, entering the user code followed by the A
key immediately starts the setting procedure.
The keypad displays the exit time countdown. At the end of the exit time, or when the setting procedure is
terminated by a FINAL or PUSH-SET zone closing, the ENTRY/EXIT HORN outputs and keypad buzz-
ers become silent for four seconds, then emit two long tones to confirm that the system is set. The message
SYSTEM IS SET appears briefly before the keypad display changes back to the normal day banner.
Part Setting
Enter:CODE + B
This is identical to the Full Setting procedure, except the keypad display indicates that the system is being
Part Set.  Only the zones which have the Part attribute enabled (refer to option 52.5 = PROGRAM
ZONE.Part), are included.
Cancelling the Setting
The full and part setting routines can be aborted by pressing the esc key (on the keypad used to begin setting)
before the system sets.

Unsetting the System Using a PIN
During the unsetting procedure, initiated by the opening of FINAL or ENTRY zone on a set group, the
system is unset by entering the user code followed by the A key.
• If the user does not have group choice, all of the groups assigned to the code are instantly unset.
• If the user has group choice only the group that the FINAL or ENTRY zone is assigned to is
unset; all of the other groups remain set. The system displays the set status of the remaining
groups and prompts for the required groups to be unset. To unset the required groups press the
relevant number keys — the S or P (Set or Part Set) changes to flashing U   — and then press the
ent key.
• When the system/group is unset three short beeps are emitted to advise the user that the system/group is
unset
Engineer Unsetting
The engineer can only unset a system that was set using the engineer code. The engineer code cannot be used
to unset a system that was set by a user code.
Keyswitch Setting Options
Zones programmed as KEYSWITCH can be used to full set, part set and unset the system. Refer to option
52 = PROGRAM ZONE.
Setting the System with a Keyswitch
The KEYSWITCH starts the setting procedure of each of the groups assigned to the keyswitch zone. At the
end of the exit time, or when the setting procedure is terminated by a FINAL or PUSH-SET zone closing, the
ENTRY/EXIT HORN outputs and keypad buzzers become silent for four seconds, then emit two long tones
to confirm that the system is set.
NOTE:If the KEYSWITCH has its Part attribute enabled (refer to option 52 = PROGRAM ZONE) then
the KEYSWITCH  part sets the system.
Unsetting the System with a Keyswitch
Activating the KEYSWITCH when the group that it is assigned to is set instantly unsets the group. All other
groups which have been “starred” to the KEYSWITCH are not affected and remain set.
Setting the System with Cards/Tags/Fobs
The Proximity user cards can be used to set and unset the system.  This is done by assigning a MAX user
card (or fob) with one of the setting options (refer to option 42.1.8 = CODES.User Codes.MAX Func-
tion).  When the card is held against a MAX module or keyprox for five seconds, the card held function
programmed to the card user is activated.
If the card user has a keypad assigned, the function will be shown as the assigned keypad. If the card user has
no keypad assigned then all keypads in the group assigned to the card user will show “Press any Key”. If a
key is pressed the keypad containing the key to be pressed will show the card held function. If no keys are
pressed all keypads in the group(s) allocated to the card will show card the held menu function.

 Card Setting
If the card user has group choice all groups available to the user will be displayed on the keypad. The user
must select the groups to be set/unset/part set using the appropriate number keys, as per normal PIN users.
If the card user has no group choice then the card held setting function will commence automatically.
Unsetting the System with Proximity Cards
The system or groups can be unset using proximity cards with the MAX or KeyProx modules.
If the unsetting procedure has been started by activating a Final or Entry zone then, swiping the card will unset
the system. If the card user has group choice then, only the group assigned to the Final or Entry zone will be
unset. All other groups available to the user will be displayed on the programmed/selected keypad or keyprox.
NOTE:The MAX or keyprox module must have common groups to the proximity card user to allow the
card held function to be activated.
Cancelling and Resetting Alarms and Alerts
Following an alarm, sounders and strobes are activated. When a fault condition occurs in the unset state, an
alert condition is activated. This consists of an intermittent beep at the keypad and/or a visual alert on the
keypad. Following each alarm activation, the alarm must be cancelled and the Galaxy reset.  The activation is
cancelled by entry of any valid user code (type 2.2 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 or faults that have been activated. Use the A>

 Setting Features
Resetting Using Alarm Cause Code
If enabled in menu option 51.72, when a reset is required, an alarm cause code must be entered to reset the
system.
If there are multiple alarm causes and/or multiple groups require to be reset, then the alarm cause code only
has to be entered once. The user enters the most appropriate code as determined on site. The cause code
values should be determined in conjunction with the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).
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;
ENT to Continue ENT to ContinueENT to Continue ENT to Continue
ENT to Continue
0001 +CU-BATT 0001 +CU-BATT0001 +CU-BATT 0001 +CU-BATT
0001 +CU-BATT
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 overridden.
Pressing enter omits the condition for one set period only. Pressing escape returns to the previous banner.
When setting the system with an overridden fault or tamper condition, the display indicates the overridden
function 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 overridden, then the
system will not set. The display shows the CALL MANAGER RESET REQUIRED banner with a short
beep every 30 seconds .
Setting Features
The Galaxy control panels provide a range of features to assist the user in the setting and unsetting of the
system, minimising the possibility of error when carrying out these procedures.
Show Set Status
When Show Status is enabled (refer to option 58.6 = KEYPAD.Show Status), pressing the 7 and # keys
simultaneously when the normal banner is displayed indicates the group set status.
F = Fault
R = Ready
S = Set
P = Part Set

Galaxy 3-520
The Galaxy 520 panel has 32 groups; these are displayed on the keypad in blocks of eight groups, sub-
divided into A, B, C and D:
Exit Time
Once the setting routine starts, outputs programmed as Entry/Exit Horn emit a continuous tone. The keypad
used to set the system indicates the time, in seconds, remaining before the system sets.
Exit Time Reset
If any zones are open when setting starts or are opened during the setting routine, the sounder begins to pulse
rapidly; zones types other than Final, Exit, Entry or Push-Set (and Secure Final or Part Final when acting
as a Final), indicate on the setting keypad the number of zones open. The A or B keys can be used to view
the open zone types and addresses. Closing the zones resets and restarts the exit time.
Omitted Zones
If zones are omitted when the system starts setting, this is indicated on the keypad.  The keypad indicates how
many zones are omitted.
Expiry Warning
During the last 25% of the programmed exit time outputs programmed as Entry/Exit Horn begin to pulse
rapidly, indicating that time is running short.
System Set Indication
At the end of the exit time the Entry/Exit Horns become silent for four seconds. This allows the door to be
locked and secured and gives the detectors time to settle before the system finally sets. Two long tones are
emitted to confirm that the system has set. If all groups are set the keypad briefly displays the message SYS-
TEM IS SET before returning to the normal banner.
Group Logic Setting Restriction
If Setting Logic has been assigned to a group (refer to 63.1.2 = OPTIONS.Groups.Setting Logic), the set
status of the groups must satisfy the conditions defined in the option to permit the group to set.  If the Setting
Logic conditions are not satisfied, then the group cannot set. If multiple groups are being set simultaneously,
but one group is restricted due to the programmed Setting Logic, the remainder of the groups set. The
restricted group does not set; there is no warning or indication given.

 Setting Features (cont’d)
If the programmed Setting Logic results in none of the selected groups being allowed to set, a warning
message is displayed on the keypad. This message does not appear if at least one group sets.

Entry Time
The system begins the unsetting routine whenever a Final or Entry zone activates. The Entry/Exit Horns
pulse slowly indicating that the entry time countdown has started. The user must go directly to the keypad,
using the agreed entry route, and unset the system before the entry time expires. When 75% of the entry time
has elapsed the Entry/Exit horns pulse rapidly, indicating that time is running short.
Timeout (Slow Entry)
If the entry time expires before a valid code is entered to unset the group, a full alarm occurs. This is recorded
in the event log as a Timeout against the group which was in the process of being unset.
Straying from the Entry Route
If, during the entry routine, the user strays from the agreed entry route and activates a zone in a protected
area, a full alarm occurs.
Abort Time
Should the user exceed the entry time or stray from the entry route a full alarm occurs. However the activation
of the intruder output can be delayed to allow time for the user to abort the remote signalling.
The Abort Time parameter can also be programmed so that an Intruder alarm is activated immediately the
entry time expires or a zone is activated, but entry of any valid code cancels the alarm and deactivates the
Intruder outputs without the need for a system reset.
Abort Setting Message
Zones that are open or opened during the exit period are indicated to the user by a rapid audible tone from the
entry/exit horns. The keypad displays the open zones and then prompts the user to abort the setting by press-
ing the ESC key. This message is designed to prevent users from re-entering the building, closing the open
zones, allowing the system to set and trapping the user in the building.
Fail to Set
An output type (Option 53-Program output 40, Fail Set) is available that activates if a full set has not
occurred after a programmed period of time (determined by Option 51-Parameter 35, Fail to Set) from the
start of the setting procedure.
Power Failure While System is Set
When power is restored to the system, following a complete mains (a.c.) and standby battery (d.c.) power
failure, the system attempts to return to the set status — full or part — prior to the power failure. The system
begins the setting procedure. If there are no zones open that prevent the system from setting, at the end of the
programmed exit time, the appropriate groups and parts are set.

ent (to set) or esc (to select another option)
This option allows zones to be temporarily removed (omitted) from the system. Once a zone has been omitted
it does not generate an alarm condition (including tamper). The omitted zones are reinstated automatically
when the system is unset or manually when the zone omit option is disabled.
On selecting the Omit Zones option, the first zone that has the omit attribute enabled is displayed (refer to
option 52 = PROGRAM ZONE). If there are no omittable zones, then the message  NO ENTRIES is
displayed.
Press the A or B keys to view other omittable zones. Press the # key to toggle the omit status of the required
zone. The display indicates the new omit status.
NOTE:A zone is omitted from the system as soon as it is selected.
This process is continued until all the required zones have been omitted:
• pressing the ent key starts the timed setting routine. The number of zones omitted from the system are
displayed during the exit time countdown;
• pressing the esc key returns to the 11 = OMIT ZONES without starting the setting routine.
On returning to the banner (normal or engineer) the keypad displays the message ZONES OMITTED.
Omitted zones remain omitted for one set period only or until they are manually reinstated to the system.
Outputs programmed as Zone Omit (mode programmed as reflex) are activated as soon as the zone is
omitted and remains active until the zone is reinstated.
 11 - Omit Zones 
						

							Galaxy 3 Series Programming Manual

There are five zone types which vary from the standard Omit Zones operation:
•Vibration Zones — if the omitted zone is a Vibration zone, then all zones (in all groups) programmed as
this type are block omitted. The Vibration zones remain omitted until they are manually reinstated.
Unsetting the system does not reinstate Vibration zones.
•ATM1/2/3/4 Zones — a single AT M zone type can be omitted for the duration of the period entered in
the ATM Timeout parameter (option 51.39).  The ATM Delay parameter (option 51.38) determines
the delay before AT M zones are omitted following the entry of one of the ten ATM Codes.
 Entry of a code allows the user to omit one of the AT M zone types. Once omitted, the initiating keypad
indicates the number of minutes remaining until the selected ATM zones are reintroduced to the system. A
warning is given ten and five minutes before the zones are reinstated.  The omit time may be extended indefi-
nitely by re-entering an ATM Code. Outputs programmed as ATM1/2/3/4 are active when the respective
AT M zone type is omitted, and remain active until the zone type is reinstated.
Refer to option 52 = PROGRAM ZONES for details on the operation of Vibration and AT M zone types.
Manually Reintroducing Omitted Zones to the System
Selecting the OMIT ZONES option; using the A or B keys, select the omitted zone to be reinstated. Press
the # key toggle the omit status of the required zone. The display indicates the new omit status.
Normal Setting with Omitted Zones
Initiate the full or part setting routine. The system starts to set; the display indicates that zones have been
omitted. The zone remains omitted until the system is unset (with the exception of Vibration and AT M zones).
