Section 6:  Test Options
Option 31 – Walk Test (Quick Menu Option 6)
The Walk Test option offers two methods of testing zones.
1. Test All  Zones:  This option initiates a walk test that includes all zones that have the omit attribute
enabled (refer to option 52 = PROGRAM ZONES). When selected, the walk test starts immediately.  The
message NO ENTRIES is displayed if all zones are non-omittable when selecting All Zones. Non-omittable
zones are not included in this test and remain active throughout the test.
2. Selected Zones:  This test option allows the user to select any zones, irrespective of function type, for
walk testing. As many zones as necessary may be added to the list before starting the test. On entering this
option the details of the first zone are displayed. Each zone required for test can be selected using the A or B
keys or by entering the zone number.  Press the # to toggle the test status of each zone in the Walk Test: the
test status of the zone changes to TEST if it is included in the test and # = TEST if it is not. When all the
required zones have been selected, press the ent key to start the walk test.
Press the 7 key to include all zones in the Selected Zones walk test, without having to individually select the
zones.  Once all zones are selected, the # key can be used to remove selected zones from the test.
NOTE: PA, PA Silent, PA Delay, PA Silent Delay and Fire are not included in the test when the 7 key is
used to include all zones.
The response times of the zone circuits are reduced to 20 msecs (40 msecs for RF RIO’s) for the duration of
the walk test to facilitate the detection of loose connections or damaged wiring.
Once the walk test has started, opening a zone (or a zone that is open at the start of the test) activates outputs
programmed as Entry/Exit Horn. If a single zone is open, the keypad displays the address and function of
the zone. If multiple zones are open, then the keypad indicates how many zones are open; the open zones can
be viewed by pressing the A or B keys.
NOTE:The Walk Test option does not display the status of the zones.  If an open zone is included in the
walk test, the Entry/Exit Horn will activate as soon as the test is started and remains active until the
zone is closed.
While the walk test is active the message WALK TEST ACTIVE / ESC to abort is displayed; press the #
key to view all zones that have been walk tested so far. To return to the walk test press the # key again.
NOTE:RF zones will also record the signal strength in reduced gain mode.
Ending the Walk Test
To terminate the walk test, press the esc key. The test will terminate automatically if no zones are activated for
20 minutes.
The results of the test can be viewed by accessing the event log (refer to option 22 = DISPLAY LOG). The
start of the walk test is indicated by the display WALK TEST +; each zone that was tested is recorded (the
activation of each zone is recorded only once during the test — even if it was opened several times); the end
of the test is indicated by WALK TEST –.

Option 32 – Outputs
Outputs are tested by function: for example, when 01 = BELLS is selected, then all outputs programmed as
Bells are activated. Refer to option 53 = PROGRAM OUTPUT for a full description of each output func-
tion.
On selecting the Outputs option, output function type 01 = BELLS is offered for selection. Press the A or B
keys to move to the required output function type. Alternatively, the function type number can be entered
directly, for example entering 13 selects SECURITY. To test the selected output function press the ent key.
The ent key can be used to toggle the function ON and OFF as required. To escape from the Outputs
option, press the esc key.
Users
User types 2.5 & 3.6 only have access to 01 = BELLS and 02 = STROBE of the Output option. Only the
engineer has access to all the output types.

Section 7:  Modify Options
Option 41 – Time/Date (Quick Menu Option 7)
The Time/Date option can be accessed and modified by type 3.6 codes, the engineer and the remote code.
If any groups are locked (refer to option 49 = Datelock), then the time and date cannot be modified.
Modifying the Time and Date
The Time/Date option allows the system time and date to be modified. On entering this option the display
prompts for selection A = TIME B = DATE.  Press the A key to select the time option; this allows a new
time to be entered. The time must be a valid four digit number — in the 24 hour format (hh:mm). The entry, if
valid, will be accepted immediately and the display is returned to the selection screen. Press the B key to
select the date option; this allows a new date to be entered. The date must be a valid 6 digit number - in the
day, month and year format (dd/mm/yy). The date entry, if valid, will be accepted immediately and the display
is returned to the selection screen.
NOTE:The time and date can be modified when groups are set.
Adjusting the Clock Speed
Variations in the accuracy of the clock speed can be compensated by pressing the # key while the A = TIME
B = DATE selection screen in the Time/Date menu is displayed. The keypads prompts for the Adjustment/
Week, in seconds, to be entered; the range is 0 – 120 seconds. If the clock requires to gain time, enter the
required number of seconds. If the clock requires to lose time, enter the required number of seconds and
press the 7 key; the 7 retards the clock speed.

Figure 3. Programming Codes
Option 42 – Codes (Quick Menu Option 8)
The Codes option is used to assign, modify and delete the codes that allow users to operate and access the
system. The Codes option is divided into two sub-menus:
1. User Codes - sub-divided into up to 10 menus (depending on panel used and whether the group and
MAX mode options are enabled in Menu 63) that determine all of the access information for users who are
requiring PINs.  This option also assigns MAX details to user numbers;
2. PIN Warning  -  determines the warning period given to users prior to the programmed PIN Change
date (refer to option 51.42 = PARAMETER.PIN Change);

Table 4. Default Codes
* The authorization code is a secondary system manager code but is not programmed by default.
Engineer Code
• Engineer access is enabled via menu 48.1. This menu is only available to type 3.6 users.
• The engineer code can only modify the engineer PIN.
• The engineer code cannot assign, modify or delete the manager or user codes;
• 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;
• While engineer mode is accessed, all tampers are disabled, however, all constantly alert zone
types — PA zone types, 24 Hour, Security, Fire — remain active.
• The engineer banner is shown on all keypads while engineer mode is being accessed; the
message ENGINEER MODE is displayed;
Entry to the engineer mode must be authorized by a valid type 3.6 user (refer to option 48 = ACCESS
AUTHORIZATION). The engineer code must then be entered within five minutes of the option being ena-
bled. A single entry of the engineer code directly accesses engineer mode, without activating an engineer
tamper alarm; ENGINEER MODE is displayed on the keypad. If the engineer code is not entered within
the five minute period, the code is invalid and an Insufficient Access  Rights message is displayed on the
keypad. Once the engineer mode has been accessed, there is no time limit on the period that the engineer can
remain in the mode.
NOTE:Dual entry of the engineer code in a system requiring user authorization does not give access to
engineer mode.
ATM User Codes
ATM ( Automatic Teller Machine) user codes work in conjunction with ATM zone types (refer to Menu
Option 52.48-51=Program Zones ATM1-4). ATM user codes cannot be used as normal user codes for
setting/unsetting etc. The following table shows the users for each Galaxy variant that are dedicated as ATM
users::
Default Codes
The Galaxy system provides four default codes: Manager, Engineer, Remote  and Authorization User. Refer to
the following table:

Escaping from Engineer Mode
1.Return to the engineer banner.
2.Enter the engineer code.
3.Press the esc key.
The Galaxy begins the exit engineer mode procedure by checking the integrity and security of the system:
•
CHECKING FOR TAMPERS — the panel calculates that the standby battery connected to it is capable of
operating the system for the required period (as entered in the Standby Battery parameter — refer to
option 51.37). The system then verifies that there are no tamper conditions present on the panel, the
modules or the zones.
•
SYSTEM MODULES — if there are no tamper conditions the Galaxy checks the number of modules con-
nected to the system:
• If no modules have been added or removed, “ NO MODULES ADDED, ESC TO CONTINUE” is
displayed. Pressing esc returns the system to the normal banner.
• If modules have been removed they are reported as missing; the engineer is prompted to view the missing
modules and to remove them from the system by pressing the 7; a warning is given before the module is
removed. Press the ent key to confirm the removal of the module. Once all missing modules are removed,
the Galaxy reports the previous and current number of modules connected to the system, before returning
to the normal banner.
• If modules have been added, the Galaxy reports the previous and current number of modules connected
to the system, before returning to the normal banner.
If the esc key is pressed at any time during the exit engineer mode procedure, the procedure is aborted and
the Galaxy returns to the engineer mode. This return may take several seconds to complete.
Manager Code
The manager is authorized to:
• modify the manager PIN — the manager PIN cannot be deleted — and assign the MAX features
to the code.
If authorized via menu option 48.2 the manager is also authorized to:
• program the User Code options of each of the user codes;
• allocate other codes to the manager type (3.6);
NOTE: The manager PIN can be reset to the default code (12345) by the engineer and remote code using
the Reset Mgr (Manager) parameter (refer to option 51.21).
The manager code defaults to group choice when groups are enabled. The manager is able to toggle
the group choice option on and off (using the 7 key) as required.
The manager code defaults to accessing the full menu (option 11 – 71). To access the quick menu (options 0 –
9), remove the 7 assigned to the manager in the Modify Level option.

STANDARD USER ACCESS
1 = Modify PIN
The PIN identifies each user to the Galaxy panel and permits the user to operate the system. The Modify
PIN option allows a PIN to be assigned to the user or an existing PIN to be modified. The PIN must be a
four, five or six digit number that is unique to the system.
NOTE: PIN size is dependent upon programming of parameter 51.66=Min Pin Size.
 If a duplicate PIN is assigned, the message DUPLICATE ENTRY is displayed; the PIN is not assigned to
the user. As each digits is entered it appears on the lower line of the display. Pressing the 7 key erases the last
digit displayed; continued pressing of the 7 key will erase all of the digits. When the correct PIN has been
assigned press the ent key to accept the programming. If a MAX No. has been previously assigned the
display will prompt: delete max no.  A = YES,  B = NO and return to the previous menu level. When a PIN
has been assigned to a user number, a solid box (Q) is displayed on the top line of the user number details
screen.
AUTHORIZED MANAGER ACCESS
Deleting a PIN
Existing PIN entries can be completely erased by using the 7 key instead of a digit entry. When there is no
PIN assigned to a user number a hollow square (…) is displayed on the top line of the user number details
screen.
Assigning Dual Codes
To program a user code as a Dual Code press the # key while the Modify PIN option is selected. The #
displays at the start of the assigned user PIN (#1314). When a PIN has been assigned as a dual code two
solid boxes (Q Q) are displayed on the top line of the user number details screen.
NOTE: The Master manager code can not be assigned as dual.
Dual Codes Operation
Entry of a single dual code can not gain access to the menu, set or unset the system. The message NO AC-
CESS – ADDITIONAL CODE is displayed. A second dual code must be entered within 60 seconds of the
first dual code to access the menu, set or unset the system. Dual codes can be different types, the highest type
entered is granted access to the system — whether it is entered first or second.
A single entry of a dual code - without a second dual code entry within 60 seconds - is recorded in the event
log as an Illegal Code; all outputs programmed as Illegal Code are activated.
Dual Focus
If a MAX number for the same user has a # assigned the dual function only works between the PIN and the
MAX card of the same user.

Table 6. User Access Types
Duress Code
If the # key is pressed while the Modify Type option is accessed, then the current user code is assigned as a
Duress Code.  Entry of a Duress Code at any time activates any output programmed as Duress (refer to
option 53 = OUTPUTS). There is no limit to the number of codes that can be assigned as Duress Codes.
Entry of any valid user code followed by ## is also a duress code (disabled in the UK to comply with
regulations).
Quick Menu
All of the user codes default to the quick menu. This menu is made up of a selection of ten options
(0 – 9) from the full menu options 11 – 68. Access to the quick menu is controlled by the user type.  Any user
can be upgraded from the quick menu to the full menu by assigning a 7 to the user while the Modify Type
option is accessed. Therefore a user with type 72.5 would have access to the full menu from options 11 – 39.
No code can access both menus.
The engineer can reprogram the options contained in the quick menu (refer to option 59 = QUICK MENU).
NOTE:The master manager code defaults to the full menu.
The engineer can determine the menu option access type (refer to option 68 = MENU ACCESS); this allows
users to access menu options that their code types are not, by default, authorized to access. 2=Modify Type
Each  user  is assigned an access type which determines the menu options available to the user. The program-
mable types are from 1.0 - 2.5.
3.6 is assigned to the manager.
3.7 is assigned to the engineer — this is fixed and cannot be assigned to user codes.
3.8 is assigned to the remote code. This is fixed and cannot be assigned to the engineer or user codes. The
remote code can only be used via keypads addressed as E.
On selecting this option, enter the type to be assigned to the user and press the ent key to accept the pro-
gramming and return to the previous menu level.

3 = Modify Name
This option allows a name to be assigned to the user (maximum 6 characters). Each of the user codes default
to the name USER. The engineer (ENG) and manager (MGR) are fixed and cannot be reprogrammed. On
selecting the Modify Name option, a section of the alpha-numeric characters that can be assigned to the user
name is displayed on the bottom line of the keypad; the cursor flashes on the letter L. Press the 7 key to
erase the characters of the default or previous name. When the previous name has been erased, use the A or
B keys to move the cursor to the first character of the name and press the ent key; the selected character
appears on the top line. Continue this process until the name is completed.
The # key moves between upper and lower case characters and the system library. The alpha-numeric char-
acters and library words can be selected by entering the character or word reference number (refer to Appen-
dix A — Library) or by pressing the A or B keys.
When the user name is completed, press the esc key to accept the programming and return to the previous
menu level.
4 = Time Zone
The Time Zone option allows the user access to be restricted to operate only within the periods programmed
in Timer A and/or Timer B (refer to option 65 = TIMERS).
On selecting this option enter the number (0 – 3) of the Time Zone to be assigned to the user and press the
ent key to accept the selection and return to the previous menu level.
Table7. Time Zone Restrictions for Users
Codes or cards if programmed do not operate during the assigned time zone (ON to OFF).  The times as-
signed to Timer A and Timer B   can be viewed using option 45.3 = TIMER CONTROL.View.
If a user that has been assigned to 1=Timer A, 2=Timer B or 3=Timer A+B attempts access outwith the
assigned times, then an Illegal Code event is recorded in the log and any outputs programmed as Illegal
Code are activated.
