However, limited door functions can be programmed using Links programming in the Galaxy control panels. Compatibility The Galaxy Keyprox is intended for use with the Galaxy 8, 18, 60, 128, 500, 504 and 512 panels. The panels must be fitted with software version 1.18 or later.
Wiring The Keyprox must be wired to the RS485 data bus on the Galaxy panel, maintaining the parallel daisy chain wiring configuration. Only 4 connections are required, +12V, 0V, A and B data. If the Keyprox is the last module on the A B RS485 data bus, then a 680 ohm end of line resistor must be fitted across the A and B terminals.
Card Programming In order for the card reader to operate, the unique serial number programmed into each card to be used must be programmed to a separate user on the Galaxy panel. This is done by programming the numbers into the MAX number section of the user, in menu 42, under the desired user.
Operation The Keyprox will behave as two separate module. The keypad section will function as a standard Galaxy Keypad, for setting/unsetting, programming and general operation. The Proximity card reader section operates similar to a Galaxy MAX reader. Swiping a card in front of the read head in the lower right hand corner of the keypad will be seen as a valid card read by the panel.
Door Control Programming Door control functionality can be achieved by setting up zones, outputs and links on the Galaxy panel as shown in the example below. Door Contact Zone 1011 Door Release on output 1011 Keyprox (Addr 0) Egress button inside, on zone 1012 Zone 1011 is programmed as a Security zone.
However the Keyprox will still continue to operate on the system. Declaration of Conformance Declaration of Conformity Hereby, Ademco Microtech declares that this Galaxy Keyprox card reader is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.
