05 = Entry Time
This parameter determines the entry time allowed to users when unsetting the system. The Entry Time is
programmable within the range 0–300 seconds; the default is 45. Assigning a value of  000 seconds sets the
Entry Time to infinity.
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
NOTE:A Final zone assigned a 7 when programming the function will double the programmed Entry
Time for the group it is allocated to.
06 = System Reset
This option allows the engineer or the remote code to determine the type that can reset the system following
an intruder alarm.  The default type is 3.6 — manager; the programmable range is:
•2.3–2.5 for the user
•3.6 for the manager
•3.7 for the engineer
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
NOTE:This option is affected by reduced resets, menu option 51.55.3.
The panel only requests Engineer Level Reset if alarms have been signalled, via the Communication Module
and appropriate type reset is set to 3.7. If no signal is transmitted, the reset will automatically reduce to type
3.6. This feature is only active when the DTMF signalling format is selected.
NOTE:This option can also be programmed from parameter 65 = Reset Levels.
07 = Tamper Reset
This option allows the engineer or the remote code to determine the code type that can reset the system
following a tamper.  The default type is 3.7 — engineer; the programmable range is:
•2.3–2.5 for the user
•2.6 for the manager
•3.7 for the engineer
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
NOTE:This option is affected by reduced resets, menu option (51.55.3)
The panel only requests Engineer Level Reset if alarms have been signalled, via the Communication Module
and appropriate level reset is set to 7. If no signal is transmitted, the reset will automatically reduce to type
3.7. This feature is only active when the DTMF signalling format is selected.
08 = No. Re-Arms
  The Number of Re-arms parameter determines the number of times that an armed system can re-arm the
bells, following an alarm activation. The default setting is 9 (infinite) with a programmable range of 0 – 9,
where 9 is infinite re-arm. If the option is enabled, then the system re-arms at the end of the programmed
confirm time - only if all zones are closed or are open and can be omitted, or if the Omit all force is enabled.
The intruder output remains active until a system re-arm occurs.
51 - Parameters (cont’d) 
						

							Galaxy 3 Series Programming Manual
56
Zones that are open at the end of the bell time must be omittable (Omit attribute enabled); the re-arm will omit
these zones. The complete zone circuit, including the tamper facility, is omitted. Refer to menu option 52 =
PROGRAM ZONES for details on enabling the zone omit attribute.
NOTE:If an open zone is not omittable, then the system will not re-arm, unless parameter 09 = Omit All is
set to 2.
09 = Omit All
This option determines if activated zones can be omitted at re-arm as described above.
0 = Disabled
1 = Omit All When set to 1 (enabled), omits any omittable zones that are open at re-arm. The complete zone
circuit including tamper is omitted.
2 = Force. As Omit All but omits zones whether omittable or not.
Refer to menu option 52 = PROGRAM ZONES for details on enabling the zone omit attribute.
10 = Key “0”
Key 0 on the keypad can be assigned to operate as a Push-set zone function; this will terminate the timed
setting procedure. When the option is set to 1 (enabled), pressing key 0 during the exit time completes the
setting of the system.  The default is 0 (disabled).
NOTE:Key 0 must be pressed only on the keypad used to start the setting procedure.
11 = Local Part
When the Local Part parameter is set to 0 (disabled - default setting) the Intruder outputs are disabled when
the system is part set; the programmed bell delay is overridden. This is normally used to prevent the communi-
cator from dialling the Alarm Receiving Centre.
If the Local Part parameter is set to 1 (enabled) the Intruder outputs activate if an alarm condition occurs
when the system is part set.
Option 2 (SIA part off) is identical to option 1 with the exception that when the alarm format of the telecom
module is set to SIA then the part setting and unsetting of the system is not signalled to the ARC.
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
12 = Banner
This option can be used to customise both the top and bottom lines of  the banner display. Press 1 to select
the TOP LINE or 2 to select the BOTTOM LINE; the display is written using the alpha-numeric assembly
method:
•7erases characters;
•#selects upper case, lower case or library;
•
A Bselects alphabet character/words;
•
000–500selects alphabet character or words;
•
entpositions selected characters/words;
•
escaccepts the programming and returns to the previous level; exits from the option.
The banner is displayed when the system is in the normal mode (set/unset).
51 - Parameters (cont’d)

13 = PA Delay
This parameter determines the delay between the activation of a PA Delay or PA Delay Silent zone and the
alarm sounding and signalling a PA via the communicator. The PA Delay is programmable within the range
1–60 seconds; the default is 60.
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
14 = Key/SW Level
This parameter assigns a code type to zones programmed as Keyswitch.  The Keyswitch zone can be used
to reset system, tamper and PA alarms - depending on the reset type assigned to each of these parameters.
The default type is 3.6 - manager; the programmable range is:
•3.7 for the engineer
•3.8 for the remote code
15 = System Text
This parameter allows two text strings to be assigned to the system: press 1 to select the System ID or 2 to
select the Panel Location.
1. System ID— 16 character identification of system. This is used when connecting Remote Servicing
software.
2. Panel Location— 16 character message of where control is fitted.
The text is written using the alpha-numeric assembly method:
•7erases characters;
•#selects upper case, lower case or library;
•
A Bselects alphabet character/words;
•
000–538selects alphabet character or words;
•
entpositions selected characters/words;
•
escaccepts the programming and returns to the previous level; exits from the option.
16 = Soak Time
This parameter determines the number of days that zones can be soak tested for; the programmable range is
1 – 14 days; the default is 7.
NOTE:Default settings must be changed before programming in Menu Option 55 – Soak.
51 - Parameters (cont’d)

17 = Restart
This parameter re-configures the system without the need to remove and reconnect the power. The system
displays a WARNING!!! ent=RESET SYSTEM, press the ent key to reconfigure the system. The keypad
display becomes blank for a few seconds, then displays the message Configuring Please Wait. When
configuration is complete the banner returns to the normal display (day mode). The Restart option configures
any modules that have been added to the system but gives an alarm if there are any tampers open or if any
modules are reported as missing.
NOTE:This parameter exits engineer mode. It is however recommended that the exit engineer mode se-
quence is used when adding or removing modules from the system.
NOTE:Outputs are momentarily reset during the restart. If the system has a communications requirement,
put it on test before using the restart.
18 = Stop Set
This parameter, when set to 1 (enabled), prevents the system from set override if there is a communication or
power fail condition at the time of starting the setting procedure. If the condition is the result of an open Line
Fail or AC Fail zone, then the system can not be set until the zone is closed or omitted. The Stop Set param-
eter is set to 0 (disabled) by default.
NOTE: Battery Low will also prevent the system from setting.
19 = Part Alarm
When the Part Alarm parameter is set to 1 (enabled — default setting) the Bells and Strobe outputs activate
if an alarm condition occurs when the system is part set.
When the Part Alarm parameter is set to 0 (disabled) the Bells and Strobe outputs are disabled when the
system is part set.
NOTE:The Horn, Entry/Exit and Intruder outputs are not affected by this parameter.
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
20 = Power Delay
This parameter determines the delay between the activation of AC Fail outputs following a mains failure to
allow the power to return before signalling the fault. The Power Delay is programmable within the range 0–50
minutes; the default is 10.
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
21 = Reset MGR
This parameter should only be used if the Master Manager code is lost or must be replaced. On selecting the
Reset MGR parameter, a warning message is displayed: WARNING!!! ENT=Code Change; press the
ent key to erase current code and reset it to the default of 12345.
51 - Parameters (cont’d) 
						

							Galaxy 3 Series Programming Manual
59
22 = PA Reset
This option allows the engineer or the remote code to determine the code type that can reset the system
following a PA activation.  The default type is 3.6 — manager; the programmable range is:
•2.3 - 2.5 for the user
•3.6 for the manager
•3.7 for the engineer
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
The panel only requests Engineer Level Reset if alarms have been signalled, via the Communication Module
and appropriate type reset is set to 3.7. If no signal is transmitted, the reset will automatically be reduced to
type 3.6. This feature is only active when the DTMF signalling format is selected.
23 = Print Codes
The Print Codes option, when set to 1 (enabled), allows the manager to print a list of the PINS for each of
the users. The option defaults to 0 (disabled).
24 = Exit Alarm
If the Exit Alarm parameter is set to 1 (enabled), any zone other than Final, Exit, Entry or Push-Set (or
Secure Final or Part Final when acting as a Final) that is opened during the exit time causes a full alarm
condition to be activated.  The default is 0 (disabled).
NOTE:This option must be used only when specified.
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
If the Exit Alarm parameter is enabled, any zone that is open when the Autoset begins (at the end of the pre-
warning period) causes an immediate full alarm condition to be activated.
If the Exit Alarm parameter is disabled, any zone open when the Autoset begins (at the end of the pre-
warning period) results in an “urgent” bleeping from the Entry/Exit Horns. If the open zones are not closed
by the end the time assigned in parameter 35 = Fail To Set, a full alarm is activated along with any outputs
programmed as Fail-Set.
25 = Global Copy
The Global Copy parameter changes all zones within the selected range to the function of the first zone in the
range. On selection of the parameter, a warning message is displayed indicating that the zone functions will be
altered — WARNING!!! ENT=ZONE CHANGES: press the ent key to continue or the esc key to abort
the programming. The address and function of the first zone on the system are displayed:
•Copy Start: Use the A or B key to select the first zone in the range to be copied and press the ent  key.
The function of this zone will be copied to all subsequent zones in the range;
•Copy End: Use the A key to move to the last zone in the range to be copied.
• Press the ent key to copy the zone function to the selected range.
51 - Parameters (cont’d)

60
26 = Forced
The Forced parameter enables or disables Menu option 14 = FORCED SET. If the parameter is set to 1 
(enabled) the user can force the system to set, automatically omitting any omittable zones that are open at the
time of setting. If the parameter is set to 0 (disabled), option 14 = FORCED SET is not available to the user;
the message Option not available is displayed.  The parameter defaults to 0 (disabled).
NOTE:It is recommended that Final, Entry and Push-Set zones have the omit attribute disabled.
27 = CCT Debounce
The cct Debounce   parameter determines the response time of the zones (how long they must remain open
before registering as changing state). The cct Debounce is programmable within the range 20–1000 millisec-
onds (0.02–1 second); the default is 300 msecs. All entries are rounded up to the nearest 20 msecs.
NOTE:The value programmed in this option is the value allocated to the SYSTEM selection when program-
ming zone response time in option 52.
28 = Online Print
This parameter is used to select the print mode required when connecting a serial printer to the Galaxy panel;
there are two options:
0 = disabled (default): system only prints specific details at the user’s request. The printer can be
connected and disconnected at any time as required;
1 = enabled: this option switches the printer to on-line mode and requires that a printer be
continuously connected to the system.  Events are printed as and when they occur. The events printed
are controlled by parameter 29 = Online Level.
NOTE:If Online Print is enabled, the event log and other options will not be printed at the user’s request.
The parameter must be disabled to permit all other print options to operate.
29 = Online Level
The On-line Level parameter determines the level of events that are printed when parameter 28 = Online
Print is enabled:
0 (default) - basic print (setting, unsetting, alarms);
1- full print excluding MAX events (setting, unsetting, alarms, modifications, technical
details)
2- full print including MAX events (all logged events).
3- MAX events only (only card events).
4- Basic Print  plus MAX events (option 0 + MAX events).
51 - Parameters (cont’d)

61
30 = Video
This parameter determines the number of activations that must occur on any of the zones programmed as
Video, in a single set period, before a full alarm occurs; there is no time limit on the period between
activations. The Video parameter is programmable within the range 1–9 activations; the default is 2.
activations.  The Video zones activation counter is reset when the system is unset.
NOTE:The activations of the Video zones are cumulative - the counter is incremented each time any Video
zone in the group is activated.
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
31 = Delay Alarm
This parameter determines the delay between the activation of an Intruder Delay zone and the alarm sound-
ing or a Log Delay zone being recorded as opening in the event log. The Delay Alarm is programmable
within the range 0–3000 seconds; the default is 60.
If a second Intruder Delay zone opens followed by the first zone closing, the Delay Alarm time continues to
count from the activation of the first zone. The Delay Alarm timer is reset only when all delay type zones
return to the closed state.
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
32 = Show Alarms
If the Show Alarms parameter is enabled, the first alarm activation is immediately displayed on all the
keypads when an alarm condition occurs.  Normally alarm messages are not displayed until the alarm is
cancelled by entry of a valid code.
0 = disabled  (default)
1 = enabled
NOTE:This parameter will only function when at least one group is unset.
33 = Secure Code
Once this parameter has been selected, the engineer code is randomly changed each day at 08:00 hours. The
service engineer must be informed of the “code of the day” by head office. The random code that is generated
is dependent on the local engineer code, therefore each area, company, branch or even system can have a
unique secure code.
Either the engineer or remote user code can select the Secure Code parameter.  On selecting this parameter
the secure code equivalent to the current engineer code must be entered to confirm the selection.  Only the
remote user code (or a cold start - erasing all programming details) can cancel it.
Select 1 to enable Secure Code, or 0 to disable the parameter; the default is 0 (disabled).
34 = Comfort Time
The Comfort Time parameter permits a period of time to be allocated when the values assigned to the entry
and abort time parameters and the number of wrong code attempts are doubled; the programmable range is
0–14 days; the default is 0. This allows new or unfamiliar users to become accustomed to the system without
causing false alarm activations. At the end of the Comfort Time the system returns all the affected parameters
to the programmed values.
51 - Parameters (cont’d) 
						

							Galaxy 3 Series Programming Manual
62
35 = Fail to Set
This parameter determines the period of time that a zone must remain open, following the start of the setting
procedure, before the Fail Set outputs activate. The programmable range is 0–999 seconds; the default is
360 .
NOTE:The Fail to Set countdown time begins as soon as the setting procedure is started.
NOTE:The Fail to Set time should be at a minimum 5 seconds longer than the Exit Time (option 51.04),
to allow for the setting period to expire.
This parameter can be assigned a different value for each group.
36 = Battery Size
Enter the size of the standby battery on the control Panel PSU. The programmable range is 0–99Ah; the
default is 0.
37 = Standby Time
Enter the value (in hours) that the system is required to run on standby battery if there is a mains fail. The
programmable range is 0–99 hours; the default is 0.
The Control Panel PSU calculates the battery run time from the programmed Battery Size (parameter 36)
and the load current. If the programmed Standby Time exceeds the calculated battery run time, a
STANDBY TIME LOW message is displayed on the keypad on attempting to exit engineer mode. Exiting
engineer mode is prevented until a Standby Time that is less than the calculated battery time is entered or a
larger battery is installed in the system and the new battery size is entered in the Battery Size parameter.
To view the latest battery Standby Time refer to Option 61.1.4=Diagnostics.Latest.PSU Comms.
NOTE:The calculated battery run time has a 10% safety margin built in.
38 = ATM Delay
This parameter determines the period of time before the selected AT M zone type is omitted following the
entry of one of the ATM codes. The programmable range is 0–30 minutes; the default ATM Delay is 5.
39 = ATM Timeout
This parameter determines the period of time that the selected AT M zone type is omitted following the entry
of one of the ATM codes. The programmable range is 1–90 minutes; the default ATM Timeout is 30.
51 - Parameters (cont’d)

63
40 = Datelock
Option not available
41 = Weekend Work
This parameter is used to enable or disable menu option 45.6 = TIMER CONTROL.Weekend Work.  If
the parameter is set to 1, the engineer can assign a Pattern Day and the user can authorize Weekend Work-
ing. If the parameter is set to 0 (disabled — default setting), the message Option not available is displayed
on selecting menu option 45.6, Weekend Work.
42 = PIN Change
This parameter defines the expiry period of user codes allocated the PIN Change attribute (refer to option 42
= CODES).  The PIN Change parameter is programmable within the range 0–12 months; the default is 0.
The user PIN must be changed before the assigned PIN Change month ends. On entering the expiring user
code a warning that the code is due to expire and a prompt to assign a new code is given to the user. The
period of this warning message is determined by the PIN Warning option (refer to menu option 42.2 =
CODES. PIN Warning).
The default value is 0 - this means that although codes have been allocated the expiry attribute, they do not
expire.
43 = Timer Access
Option not available.
44 = Early Open
This parameter determines the number of minutes before the Lockout OFF time that the system can be
manually unset when the Early Open option (refer to menu option 45 = TIMERS) is switched on. The
Early Open parameter is programmable within the range 0–240 minutes; the default is 0.
45 = High Security
This option allows RIO zones to be monitored for Constant Voltage Tampers. A constant voltage tamper is
activated if a zone detector is replaced by a constant voltage source, for example, battery. This feature can
either be enabled or disabled. Only RIO zones are affected by this feature.
The High Security feature is disabled by default in the RIO, so must be turned on by the panel for this feature
to be activated. The feature can be turned on from the panel via Parameter 45 (High Security). The default
value for this parameter is disabled. If enabled, all RIOs on the system are affected.
51 - Parameters (cont’d)

46 = Zone resistance
RIOs rev 1.2 and Smart PSUs rev 0.7 and above allow the zones to be programmed, with different resistance
preset values for zone status activation. This feature allows selection of End Of Line or Double Balanced zone
resistance types. The on-board zones can also be modified using this feature.
The “EOL/Dbl. Bal.” resistance types are selectable from this option. The system default value is 1k Fault
(Double Balanced). There are eight preset pre-programmable resistance configurations:
1 = Preset 1 (BAL);   2 = Preset 1(EOL);   3 = Preset 2 (BAL);   4 = Preset 2 (EOL);   5 = Preset 3 (BAL);
6 = Preset 3 (EOL);  7 = 1K Fault (BAL);  8 = 1K Fault (EOL).
The tables that follows shows the resistance windows for each type:
51 - Parameters (cont’d)
