Galaxy Rs232 Module; Overwriting From Galaxy Gold To A Stand-Alone Galaxy Rs232 Module - Honeywell Galaxy Manual

Galaxy RS232 module

It is to be strongly recommended that when using the Galaxy RS232 module in the Copy/Overwrite mode
with Galaxy Gold that RS232 software version V1.2X or above is used; this must be used if the control panel
has version V1.2X or above software.
When using the RS232 module in the Copy mode (copying from stand-alone RS232 module to Galaxy Gold)
the flashing of the communications LED (LED1) should have an on period of 0.5 s and an off period of 0.5 s
before copying begins.
Overwriting from Galaxy Gold to a stand–alone Galaxy RS232 module
Note: Galaxy control panels 3-144 and 3-520 cannot be copied to the RS232 module.
When over–writing a site's programming details from Galaxy Gold to a stand–alone Galaxy RS232 module,
(so that the Galaxy RS232 module can be then taken to a site and copied to it), then the destination, or
target, control panel type must be selected during the programming of the site in Galaxy Gold. For details on
how to set the target control panel type see Section 1, Panel Type. If the target control panel type is not set
during programming of the site then an error message will appear; click on the 'OK' button and then program
the target control panel details before selecting the Overwrite Site function again.
If down–loading to a Galaxy 8, 18, 60, 128, 500, 504 or 512 control panel then in addition to setting the target
control panel type, the target control panel software version must also be set. This is done in the Target
Panel Version window displayed to the user when Overwrite Site is selected from the Program menu on the
Galaxy Gold keypad. Click on the software version of the target control panel to select it, press the OK
button. The Target Panel Version window is only displayed if the target control panel type has been
programmed in to the site file, for details on how to do this see the above paragraph.
Note: Panel programming can only be downloaded to the RS232 module if the software version is V2.xx or
earlier.
If downloading to a Galaxy 16 or 16 plus the panel type must be set before overwriting and also before
copying of data from the Galaxy RS232 module to Galaxy Gold from a stand–alone Galaxy RS232 module.
