Remote Servicing - Honeywell Galaxy 2 Series Installation Manual

Introduction (cont'd)
RF Radio Receiver: This allows the control panel to receive signals from wire-free detectors and radio
keyfobs. One radio receiver will allow the panel to assign wire-free detectors to any or all of the 44 detection
zones. However, two receivers can be used to increase coverage.
Proximity Card Reader: This allows users to set/unset simply by swiping a card or tag in front of the reader.
The proximity card readers are built into the housing of the keypads.
RIO/ PSU Control: Up to four RIO's or PSU's can be added to the RS485 Bus. Each RIO/ PSU Control
expands the system by eight zones and four outputs.
GSM Module: This module provides mobile telecommunications between the panel and the Alarm Receiving
Center (ARC).
Features
RF
The system operates with the 5800 receivers on ECP and/or the RF Portal on RS485. A maximum of two RF
receivers can be fitted to the system (two on the ECP bus, two on the RS485 bus or one on each bus), to
support up to 44 zones. The RF receivers are in addition to the prox keypads on RS485 but in place of ECP
prox keypads.
Groups
Group functionality allows the system to be split into three individual sub-systems that can be set and unset
independently. Additionally there is a fourth common group which will set automatically when all the other
groups have set. It is unset as soon as any one group has been unset by a user. Zones are assigned users to a
single group only. Users are assigned to one or more groups.
Dialler
The system can have two active comms devices configured, chosen from:
• On-board PSTN/Modem
• Plug-on GSM Module
These are used for Dial-up primary and secondary signalling, as well as remote servicing and two-way audio.
SMS Text Messaging
This is a secondary alarm notification to keyholders. Text messages are sent to GSM mobile phones, giving
information on panel events.
ProxKeypads
These are standard keypads with an added proximity card reader, combined into one housing. This allows
dual function setting/unsetting ability from the one station without the need for a separate card reader. They
are primarily intended for use in situations where a PIN card is needed to set and unset the intruder alarm
system.

Remote Servicing

The Galaxy 2 series control panel can be remotely and/or locally serviced by a Personal computer (PC). This
is accomplished when the Remote Servicing Software is installed on the PC.
