The Galaxy 16 plus has an on-board 8 channel communicator capable of
transmitting DTMF, SIA level 1 and Microtech format alarm signals, the Galaxy
16 plus can also be fitted with a Plug-on-STU.
The Galaxy 16 plus Menu options 12 and 13 are used by the engineer to
program the on-board communicator and the Plug-on-STU options. Program-
ming for the on board dialler will have no effect on the Galaxy 16 panel.

Note: The Engineer Test attempts to transmit once for each selection of the
option. If the test is unsuccessful the communicator does not attempt to
re–send. An unsuccessful transmission is not counted as a Fail To
Communicate.

BT Answer Service Dial Tone Detect

The Galaxy 16 plus now recognises an additional type of dial tone. This is to
allow the Galaxy 16 plus to operate on lines where the British Telecom Answer-
ing Service may be in use. If a message has been left on the line an interrupted
dial tone (750 ms on, 750 ms off) is given to indicate this. The Galaxy 16 plus is
now able to recognise this as a valid dial tone.
