3 = Output Polarity
The Output Polarity determines the normal operational state of the output.
0 = POS - channel activates when the output is triggered.
1 = NEG - channel activates when the output is reset.
4 = Output Groups (Galaxy 18, 60, 128, 500, 504 & 512)
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 channel to be assigned to the groups on the system; a channel can be
assigned to more than one group. The channel will only trigger when an event occurs on one of the groups
assigned to the channel. All channels default to all groups on the system.
On selecting the Output Groups attribute, the groups that the channel is currently assigned to are dis-
played. Press the relevant number keys to toggle the status of the group and press the ent key: if the group
number is displayed on the top line, then the group is assigned to the channel; if a dash (–) appears in place
of the group number, the group has been removed from the channel.
Galaxy 500, 504 & 512
The Galaxy 500, 504 and 512 have more than 8 groups; in this case the groups are displayed on the
keypad in blocks of 8, sub-divided into A, B for Galaxy 500 and A, B, C and D for Galaxy 504 and 512.
Use the A or B key to select the required group (A1–D8). When the end of a block is reached, the next
block of eight groups is selected, press keys 1-8 to toggle the status of the relevant group in the current
block to the channel; press the ent key to accept the selection.
Group Status
This group attribute offers an additional feature that makes the operation of the channel conditional on the
set status of each of the system groups. A channel assigned Group Status only activates if the set condi-
tions of the programming are met, for example, an Intruder channel can be programmed to activate only if
groups 2 and 4 are set and group 3 is unset.
To assign the Group Status conditions, press the
played on the bottom line as well as the current Status. Press the relevant number keys to toggle the
status of the groups and press the ent key to accept the programming. The available group status condi-
tions are:
S = Set - group must be set to allow channel to activate;
U = Unset - group must be unset to allow channel to activate;
– = Set or unset - channel activation is independent of the group status.
Programming Individual Channel Account Numbers
When the account number is programmed using option 56.1.2 = COMMUNICATIONS.Telecoms.
Account No., then all 16 channels are automatically programmed with the same number. The Account/
Channel menu option allows each channel to be programmed with a separate account number if required.
The account number can be up to a maximum of six digits, however a four digit account number is the
standard.
