Galaxy 3 Series Installation Manual
Stand-by Battery
The Galaxy 3 Series control panels can accommodate up to 2 x 17 Ahr batteries. Ensure that the battery
connector leads on the control panel Powers Supply Unit (PSU) are connected to the correct terminals on the
battery.
CAUTION:
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Battery Start-up
The system can be powered up via the Battery Start-up jumper if there is no AC power. To do this, short
out the Battery Start-up jumper for the duration of the configuration process only. Never leave the Battery
Start-up connected or else deep discharge of the Stand-by Battery will occur.
On-Board Power Supply Unit
The on-board Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplies and monitors power to the system and peripherals. The
following table shows the fuse name and value in amps.
G3-144/G3-520: The Galaxy 3 Series control panel contains four fuses. Details are given in the table below.
NOTE: The G3-48 does not require fuse AUX2.
