69 - Access Control (cont'd)
69.2 = MAX
This option is used to program the Galaxy MAX access control readers. The MAX can be fully integrated
into the system, communicating on the AB lines and fully utilising the facilities of the Galaxy control panel. If the
MAX is programmed as a standalone module, it is completely separate from the Galaxy; the panel does not
monitor the module or share any of the facilities or options with it.
When enabled, the options that are eligible for MAX programming are made available throughout the menu,
otherwise they do not appear or appear as Option not Available.
NOTE: If the MAX Mode is disabled following programming of MAX readers, the readers remain opera-
tional, however, no further programming, including assigning new MAX cards and fobs, is possible
until the mode is enabled.
69.2.1 = MAX Address
The address and the on-line or standalone status of the MAX Modules are assigned and modified using this
option. On selecting MAX Address the Galaxy searches for the MAX with the highest address. The Galaxy
3-48 prompt for the AB line (1-1); the Galaxy 3-96 and 3-264 prompt for the AB line (1-2); the Galaxy 3-
520 prompts for the AB line (1-4) that is to be searched. Select the line and press the ent key. On locating
the MAX, the keypad prompts for the TYPE of MAX to be assigned:
0 = On-Line The MAX is fully integrated with the Galaxy system and communicates via the AB line,
sharing system resources and facilities
1 = Standalone The MAX operates as an entirely independent unit. The Galaxy does not monitor the MAX
for alarms, tampers or power failure.
The MAX can then be readdressed. The keypad displays the current address of the MAX and the range of
valid addresses. All MAX modules default to address 7, it is recommended that when adding MAX modules,
the first is redressed as 0, the second as 1 and so on.
Enter the new MAX address and press the ent key; the Galaxy then reprograms the address of the MAX.
The keypad indicates the old and new MAX addresses and the status of the reprogramming.
When the reprogramming is complete the MAX bleeps and the display returns to 2 = MAX Address.

69.2.2 = MAX Parameters
This option defines the individual operational features of each of the MAX modules. On selecting this option
the address of the first MAX on the system is displayed along with the descriptor currently assigned to it.
While the MAX address is displayed on the keypad, the address pattern on the MAX module is indicated by
3
the LEDs switching on. Pressing the # key displays a graphic on the keypad which corresponds to the LED
pattern on the MAX module.
The following figure shows the graphic display for both a MAX and a MicroMAX address as 26.
