51 - Parameters (cont’d)
49 = Confirm Time
This option is the maximum time between two separate zones for a confirmed alarm to be generated up to a
maximum of 99 minutes, which is equivalent to the complete set period, with a default of 30 minutes.
50 = RF Bat Delay
This option allows a warning to be given at the Galaxy panel if an RF low battery is detected. An additional
option is given at the panel that allows a delay up to a maximum of 100 hours (default) before a signal of RF
BAT LOW is sent to the ARC.
51 = RF Jam Delay
This option allows the RF RIO to send an RF jam signal to the Galaxy panel if it detects interference for 30
seconds. If the interference is continuously present for five minutes (default), the  signal is transmitted to central
station. The programmable range is 0 - 30 minutes.
52 = RF Stop Set
If  this option is enabled, the setting is prevented if all supervised devices have not signalled to the receiver in
the stop set period prior to setting. This is selectable from 0 - 250 minutes. The default is 20 minutes.
53 = RF Stop Mode
This option controls if and how an RF fault prevents the panel from being set. There are three options:
0 = Disabled: An RF fault will not prevent setting
1 = Warning: If there is a failure the user will get a warning but can continue to set.
2 = Auto Check: If there is a failure the system cannot be set until the zone(s) have been activated.
54 = Keypad Access
This option allows the keypad to unset the system. There are two options:
1 = Always
2 = Except Entry: Except when entry time is running. This ensures that users are unsetting using a fob or
MAX tag (portable device)
55 = Confirm
This option controls how confirmed alarms are generated. It controls the operation of confirm outputs plus the
signalling of confirmed alarms. There are three options:
1 = Operation: This option controls when confirmed alarms can be triggered. An entry timeout alarm will
never contribute to a confirmed alarm. Here are three options:
1 = Before Entry (UK). Confirmed alarms can be triggered before starting entry time only.
2 = Except entry. Confirmed alarms can be triggered any time except during the entry delay period.
3 = Always (EU). Confirmed alarms are always enabled.
2 = Entry Timeout: This option controls whether exit type zones can cause confirmed alarms, after an entry
timeout.
0 = Disable Exits. Exit type zones will only cause unconfirmed intruder alarms. They will not contribute
to the two activations required for a confirmed alarm.
1 = Enable Exits. After the expiry of the entry delay, activation of an exit type zone will be identical to an
intruder zone.

51 - Parameters (cont’d)
3 = Reduce Reset: This option allows user reset following an unconfirmed alarm.
0 = Off. Full system reset is required for any intruder alarm.
1 = On Unconfirmed. The system can be reset by user, if the alarm is unconfirmed. If the alarm is
classed as confirmed, a full system reset will be required.
56 = Force Restore
This option dictates when intruder restore signals are transmitted.
1 = Unset/Unconfirm: On unset or at the end of the confirmed time if the alarm is not confirmed.
2 = System Reset: Sent when the system is fully reset.
57 = Bell Extend
If enabled, this parameter extends the bell time if the system cannot rearm. For example , if the zone is still
open and cannot be omitted. The bell is extended by the number of modules programmed. Default is 0, no
extension.
58 = Power Alarm
If enabled, this parameter allows the Bells, Strobe and Horn outputs to activate when  there is an AC fail and
the system is set. The default is 0.
59 = Part Tone
When enabled, this parameter changes the setting tone for a part set. The new tone is on 2 secs, off 0.1 sec.
60 = RF Parameters
1 = Supervision
This parameter has two sub options:
1 = Silent Alarm. If enabled, it stops Supervision alarms from activating sounders when set.
2 = Debounce. This extends the normal 2 hour delay for supervision by a further 24 hours.
61 = Activity Mon.
This parameter allows zone activity to be checked. If zones programmed for zone activity checks are not
activated within the programmed time period and/or number of set/unset cycles a zone masked fault is indi-
cated at the panel. Six different combinations of check criteria are available for each zone.
Each criteria type can be programmed to check the number of days, the set/unset cycles or both. Default
value is both.
1 = Mode
The mode can be set to one of three options: Max Period, Max Unsets or Either.
2 = MAX Period
The time period that zone activity is checked can be set to between 1 and 28 days. Default is 14 days.
3 = MAX Unsets
This is the number of programmable set/unset cycles that must take place before a zone masked fault is indi-
cated at the panel. The number of set/unsets can be programmed from 1 - 10. The default is 7.

65 = Reset levels
This parameter determines the type of user that can reset specific fault types. The default values are shown in
the table below.
Table 13. User Type Reset Level
51 - Parameters (cont’d)
62 = Lockout
This parameter prevents code guessing on the Galaxy system.
1=Lockout
This parameter determines the number of invalid code attempts, which can be tried before keypad lockout
occurs. Keypad lockout prevents any entry via all keypads associated to the groups assigned to the keypad
where the invalid attempts were made. The lockout lasts for 90 seconds. Each subsequent invalid attempt to
cause a further 90 second lockout to occur. Entry of a valid code will reset the lockout counter. Lockout can
be programmed between 0 and 10. Default is 6. Setting to 0 disables the function
2=Tamper
This parameter determines the number of invalid code attempts, which can be tried before system tamper
occurs.  Lockout tamper can be programmed between 0 and 21. Default is 15. Setting to 0 disables the
function.
63 = Banner Alerts
This parameter determines whether system alerts are displayed on the Galaxy keypad banner. If enabled
system events will be indicated on the display. The default value for this parameter is disabled.
64 = Set Override
This parameter determines the type of user that can override specific fault events to set the system. The default
values are shown in the table below.
Table 12. User Type Override Level
A different value can be programmed for each group.

51 - Parameters (cont’d)
66 = Min Pin Size
This parameter determines the minimum size of each user code. This can be set from four to six digits. The
default is five digits.
67 = Level Format
This parameter determines the format used for user code authorization levels.
1 = EN.Galaxy (Default)
Uses new EN Galaxy user types 1.0 to 3.8.
2 = Galaxy
Uses standard Galaxy levels 0-8.
68 = Line Fail
This parameter allows the programming of the period between the panel being alerted by a communication
module of a Line Fail condition, and the user being alerted of the alarm condition. This value can be pro-
grammed between 0 and 1800 seconds. The default is 50 seconds.
NOTE:The communication module may take up to 40 seconds to alert the panel of a Line Fail condition.
This time is in addition to the programmed time of 0-1800 seconds.
This parameter affects all communication modules on the system.
69 = Alert Inds
This parameter allows the alert audio indication to be switched off. The default is 1 = Audio only.
0 = No Indication
1 = Audio Only
2 = Visual Only (only when parameter 63 enabled)
3 = Audio/Visual (only when parameter 63 enabled)
70 = SWDC Set Dly
When enabled, this parameter delays the indication of open zones at the start of a set sequence whilst the
Switch DC output (53.08) is active; this includes keypad text and sounders.
If there are no outputs programmed as Switch DC then there will be no delay at the start of the set.
71 = MF BL Enable
When enabled, this parameter allows the panel to send a SIA event when the battery is low and there is a
mains power failure. When the event is sent, the Power Delay time set in parameter 51.20 stops immediately.
72 = Max Alm Cause
This option defines the range of valid cause codes, as agreed with the Alarm Receiving Centre. When this
function is enabled, a cause code must be entered by the user when a reset of the system is required.
This parameter can be disabled by setting the alarm cause code to 000.

Option 52 – Program Zones
This option is used by the engineer to modify the programming of the zones on the system. The option also
allows the attributes of the zone to be changed. The programmable options are shown in the table that follows:
Table 14. Zone Attributes
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. Pressing the # key toggles
the descriptor to reveal the status of the chime, omit and part attributes. If the attribute is enabled, the initial
attribute letter is displayed, if it is disabled, a dash (–) is shown.  For example, chime, part and omit enabled
display as COP, if omit is disabled the display would be C – P.
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 (1–8). 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.
Pressing the esc key at any time when assigning attributes 1 and 3–10 to a zone aborts the programming and
returns to the attribute selection level. Pressing the esc key when assigning a descriptor to a zone saves the
assigned alphanumeric text and returns to the attribute selection level.

1 = Function
Entering the Function attribute displays the address and the current function of the selected zone along with
the zone function reference number. The zone functions can be stepped through, forwards or backwards,
using the A and B keys. Alternatively a zone function can be directly selected by entering the zone function
reference number, for example, entering the 19 displays zone function 19 = FIRE.
Once the required zone function is displayed, it is assigned to the zone by pressing the ent key.
2 = Descriptor
Each zone can be assigned with an alpha-numeric descriptor of up to 16 characters. This descriptor is assem-
bled from the character set and/or library options. On selecting the Descriptor attribute, the currently as-
signed descriptor (blank by default) is displayed on the top line - an underscore shows where the next charac-
ter will be positioned, and a selection of the alphabet is shown on the bottom line - the cursor flashes on the
letter L.
Press the 7 key to erase the characters already assigned to the descriptor.
The A or B keys can be used to move the alphabet left or right until the required character is positioned
underneath the flashing cursor. When the required character is in position press the ent key to copy the char-
acter to the descriptor in the top line. Repeat this procedure to assemble the required zone descriptor.
Text Case and Library
On entering the Descriptor attribute the alpha-numeric characters are all presented in upper case. Pressing
the #   key toggles the characters to lower case.
Pressing the # key when the lower case alphanumeric characters are displayed toggles to the library words.
The words can be viewed using the A or B keys or directly selected using the reference number - refer to
Appendix A - Library. When the required word is displayed, press the ent key to copy it to the descriptor.
NOTE:Library words are a maximum of 12 characters and upper case only.
3 = Chime
If the Chime attribute is set to 1 (enabled) the zone will chime momentarily whenever it is opened while the
system is unset.  The Chime attribute defaults to 0 (disabled) for all zone functions.
The A or B keys can be used to toggle the status of the Chime attribute — pressing 1 or 0 will also select the
required status; press the ent key to accept the programming.
NOTE:The Chime option (full menu option 15, quick menu option 2) must be enabled if the zones are to
chime when  opened.
4 = Omit
If the Omit attribute is set to 1 (enabled) the zone can be omitted from the system by using one of the omit
functions (11 = OMIT ZONES, 14 = FORCED SET, 46 = GROUP OMIT
).  The Omit attribute defaults
to 0 (disabled) for all zone functions.
52 - Program Zones (cont’d)

72
The A or B keys can be used to toggle the status of the Omit attribute - pressing 1 or 0 will also select the
required status; press the ent key to accept the programming.
5 = Part
If the Part attribute is set to 1 (enabled) the zone will be included in the setting procedure when one of the
part setting options is used to set the system (13 = PART SET, 17 = INSTANT PART).  The Part attribute
defaults to 1 (enabled) for all zone functions except zones programmed as 09 = Keyswitch.
The A or B keys can be used to toggle the status of the Part attribute - pressing 1 or 0 will also select the
required status; press the ent key to accept the programming.
6 = Resp. Time
This function is only applicable to zones on RIO rev 1.2 and Smart PSU rev 0.7 and above.
This option allows the user to select , either Fast (10ms), System (default value programmed in 51 – Param-
eters, Option 27) or Slow (750ms), for each zone.
7 = Custom SIA
This option allows a different SIA mnemonic to be allocated to the selected zone. The default is the standard
SIA mnemonic for the zone type selection. The default mnemonic can be reselected by pressing the 7 key.
The table that follows shows the list of available customisable mnemonics:

8 = Activity Mon.
This attribute allows a zone to be checked for activity during a set time period or set/unset cycles. The options
are:
• 0 = None
• 1 = Type1
• 2 = Type2
• 3 = Type3
• 4 = Type4
• 5 = Type5
• 6 = Type6
The default option is 0 = None.
If the zone does not activate at least once within the programmed criteria a zone masked fault is indicated at
the panel. The fault is logged as a masked event which indicates that the zone has been inactive for the pro-
grammed period. See Option 51.61=Parameters.Activity Monitoring.
9 = Res. Select
This option allows the zone resistor configuration to be selected from a pre-defined value.
• 0 = System (follows the system default as programmed in parameter 51.46 = Zone Resistance)
• Option 1 = 1k (double balanced)
• Option 2 = 1k (end-of-line)
• Option 3 = 2k2 (double balanced)
• Option 4 = 2k2 (end-of-line)
• Option 5 = 4k7 (double balanced)
• Option 6 = 4k7 (end-of-line)
• Option 7 = 1k Fault (double balanced)
• Option 8 = 1k Fault (end-of-line)
The values assigned by each of the options are shown in tables 10 and 11, Parameter 51.46=Zone Resist-
ance.
10 = Group
NOTE:The Groups attribute is only available if groups have been enabled on the system (refer to option 63
= OPTIONS).
The Group attribute allows the zone to be assigned to a single group on the system. All zones default to
Group A1.
On selecting the Group attribute, the group that the zone is currently assigned to is displayed.  All zones
default to group A1. Press the number of the group that the zone is to be reassigned to and press the ent key.

7) Group Function
Certain zone functions have an additional Group attribute feature that allows the other groups to be affected
by their operation. This feature is assigned by pressing the 7 key when allocating the group to the zone.
On pressing the 7 key the display indicates the group currently assigned to the zone and prompts for other
groups to be added, for example 17 1 – – – – – – –, pressing 4 and 7 assigns 1 71 – – 4 – – 7 –.
Final, Secure Final, Part Final Keyswitch and Push Set Zones
If the star 7 group feature is assigned a zone programmed as Final, Secure Final, Part Final or Push Set,
then closing the zone when setting multiple groups terminates the setting procedure for all groups assigned to
the zone.
Refer to the zone functions for further information on the operation of these zone functions.
Exit Zones
The star 7 group feature can be assigned to a zone programmed as Exit. This allows an Exit zone to be
activated in a group which is not currently being unset without activating an Intruder alarm condition.
Refer to the zone functions for further information on the operation of this zone function.
System Alarms
The Galaxy panels have tamper and alarm monitoring circuits which are not programmable. These circuits
maintain the integrity of the system and all correspond to Group A1.
