Quick Setup Quick Setup To quickly set up a Galaxy 16 or 16 plus these simple steps should be followed. Note: these steps should not be followed for a first time set up procedure, only those familiar with the Galaxy 16 and 16 plus control panels should use the quick set up procedure.
Galaxy 16 can be used to trigger a 3 GSTU (12 V). The Galaxy 16 plus has all the features of the Galaxy 16 (with the exception of the Line Fail zone) and also features an on-board dialler (telecom module) with Line Fail detection capabilities built in.

3GSTU-PLI The 3GSTU-PLI is a plug-on module which allows the Galaxy 16 plus to be connected to the BT RedCARE service. The 3GSTU-PLI connects to the SK1 and SK2 connector blocks on the Galaxy 16 plus PCB which supply the power, output and alarm input to the module.
Section 3: GALAXY KEYPADS General The programming and operation of the Galaxy 16 and 16 plus control panels is carried out using the Galaxy Mark 7 (Mk V11) keypad. This keypad has a 2 × 16 character liquid crystal display. Up to three keypads can be fitted to the Galaxy 16/16 plus control panels.
Table 3.2 Keypad Terminal Connections. Addressing The valid addresses for Galaxy keypads connected to a Galaxy 16/16 plus control panel are 0, 1, and 2. A 16-way rotary address switch is used to address Galaxy Mk III keypads. The address switch assigns a hexadecimal address value to the keypad.

When the 0 key is used to terminate the setting, the Horn output and keypad buzzers emit exit tones but do not emit confirmation tones.
Keyswitch Setting Options Engineer Unsetting The engineer can only unset a system that was set using the engineer code. The engineer code can not be used to unset a system that was set by a user code. Keyswitch Setting Options Zones programmed as Keyswitch can be used to set and unset the system.

Menu driven access allows the engineer (and users) to enter and remain in the Galaxy 16/16 plus menu, following entry of their code, until the programming of the required menu options is completed. This is illustrated in Figure 5.3 Menu Driven Access.
1 = Omit Option 1 - Omit Engineer Function The engineer uses the Omit option to enable the zones that can be omitted by the user. Note: The Engijneer Code can not omit zones, however it can be used to set the system where zones have been previously omitted by a User code.

2 = Chime Option 2 Chime The engineer function and user function of this menu option are identical. The Chime option is used to select which zones are to operate in chime mode. Any zone that is programmed to chime momentarily activates the horn output on the panel and the keypad buzzers when opened.
3 = Walk Option 3 - Walk The engineer function and user function of this option are identical. The Walk option is used to walk test selected zones on the system. When the Walk option is selected zone 01 is displayed. All zones default to disabled (excluded from the walk test), when a zone is disabled from the walk test the top line of the keypad display shows a hollow square next to the zone number and the bottom line reads #, xx = TEST, where xx is the zone number.

This option determines the condition that activates the line fail zone. When disabled, it will activate on a high to low transition. 09 Sig. Log Full (Galaxy 16 plus only) Signals that Log is 90% full. This will also be signalled via SIA format communi- cations (if in use).
6 = Parameters (cont’d) 12 AC Fail Delay When enabled there is a 10 minute delay between the occurrence of an a.c. mains failure and activation of the AC Fail outputs. If the a.c. mains is restored before output activation then no output activation occurs. This avoids signalling of false or short term a.c.

6 = Parameters (cont’d) 13 Banner Bottom This parameter is used by the engineer to modify the bottom line of the Unset Banner display. On selecting Banner Bottom the current banner text appears on the top line of the display and a section of the available alphanumeric characters are displayed on the bottom line.
7 = Zones Option 7 – Zones This option is used by the engineer to modify the programming of the zones on the system and to assign the zones to one of the parts on the system part (P1, P2 or P3).
7 = Zones (cont’d) Zone Types 01 Final This function terminates the timed setting procedure during a setting routine; it also starts the unsetting procedure of a set system. Opening and closing a Final zone during the Exit Time sets the system, providing all the (unomitted) zones are closed.
7 = Zones (cont’d) This zone type records the active (+) and restore (–) events in the log. Note: Keyswitch zones programmed as codes 1, 2 and 3 are recorded in the Event Log (and transmitted via SIA communications) as users 18, 19 and 20 respectively.
7 = Zones (cont’d) If a PA Silent zone is open when one of the setting routines starts, it is indicated on the keypad display. The part that the open PA Silent zone is assigned to can not be set. PA Delay: If the PA Delay parameter is enabled, there is a 30 second delay be- tween the activation of a PA zone and the alarm outputs firing.
7 = Zones (cont’d) 13 Link A The Link A zone type is an engineer defined zone type. The programming of the Link A zone type is split into two parts: the SIA mnemonic programming option allows the engineer to assign a SIA code to the zone type; the Link Function programming option allows the engineer to assign a mode of operation to the zone type.

12 = Communications 1 (cont’d) 2. SIA 1 The SIA level 1 format is a protocol that transmits detailed point identification (Point ID) information to a SIA compatible receiver. The SIA level 1 format transmits alarm events, the activated zone number and the type of event.
Galaxy 16 plus is an eight channel communicator. The Triggers option allows triggers 1 to 8 to be programmed as required. When transmitting to an ARC in SIA format the Galaxy 16 plus has eight triggers that can be enabled/disabled as required.
The SIA triggers 1 – 8 are shown in Table 6.1 Communications 1 Programming Options. The system defaults to only trigger 3 (Intruder) enabled. Transition of SIA events is activated by entry of an event into the Galaxy 16 plus event log. For details on the Galaxy 16/16 plus Event Log see Section 5: MENU OPTIONS;...

This option is used to determine the communications parameters of the Galaxy 16 plus. The parameters are shown in Table 6.4 Communications 2 Program- ming Options. Options 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 are available on the Galaxy 16 panel with software version 2.7 and later.
When one of these conditions is detected, a Line Fail message is sent to the Galaxy 16 plus and is stored in the Event Log. If the system is unset, the TELECOM FAILURE message appears on the keypad display and a local alarm is sounded.
The number of dialling attempts is non-programmable and is set to five. When the Galaxy 16 plus dials it snatches the telephone line and dials the programmed telephone numbers. After a successful communication the LED lights for three seconds, the communicator releases the telephone line and reconnects any serially connected equipment.
If a Plug-on Subscriber Terminal Unit (3GSTU-PLI) is to be connected to a Galaxy 16 plus (or Galaxy 16 with software V2.7 or later) then the Enable STU option must be enabled. This allows the Control Output functions and STU Line-Fail options on the Header pins to be programmed.
The STU triggers option is used to assign triggers to the six alarm inputs on the 3GST–PLI. Triggers one to six activate Galaxy 16 plus output pins one to five and sixteen respectively. The available triggers are shown in Table 6.5 STU Triggers.

13 = Communications 2 (cont’d) 8 Conf Aftr Ent This option determines if confirmed alarms can be signalled after the start of an entry procedure. 9 Disable Kpads This option determines whether keypad unsetting is permissable (required for fob controlled installations). The keypads will be able to function normally during set and entry, regardless of this option, for part sets in which intruder alarms are not reportable.
13 = Communications 2 (cont’d) 13 Rprt Ent Alrm This option determines if entry deviation alarms are to be signalled as uncon- firmed alarms. 1 Never The Timeout alarm will be the first alarm to be signalled. 2 Immediately Entry deviation alarms will be signalled as unconfirmed alarms immediately. 3 At Ent T/Out Entry deviation alarms will be stored and signalled when the entry timeout occurs, immediately before the Entry Timeout report.
