Programming the SIA Format with Groups Enabled
If groups have been enabled on the system (refer to option 63 = OPTIONS), then the SIA format menu
alters slightly; an additional level is added.
1 = Trigger Events
On selecting the SIA level the keypad displays 1 = Trigger Events; press the ent key to display the first
trigger event; the keypad shows the trigger, the trigger status and the groups assigned.
1 = Status
To modify the trigger select the required trigger type using the A and B keys and press the ent key. The
1 = Status option is then displayed. If the status requires to be modified, press the ent key. To program
the status to On press 1, to set it to Off press 0. Press the ent key to save the programming and return to
the previous menu level.
2 = Groups
If groups have been enabled on the system (refer to option 63 = OPTIONS), then groups can be assigned
to the events. This means that the events have to occur in assigned groups before they are signalled. Press
the A key, the keypad displays 2 = Group Settings and then press the ent key; the status of the groups
assigned to the trigger is displayed. If the group has Y below it, then this event occurring in this group is
signalled. If N is displayed, then the event is not signalled for that group. To toggle the status of a group,
enter the group number. When all the groups have been assigned press the ent key to save the program-
ming and return to the previous menu level.
Cross Group Confirmation
Confirmed outputs (and channels in DTMF format, option 56.1.1.1) will activate for alarms across groups
as long as both groups concerned have been assigned to that output or channel. In the point ID signalling
formats (SIA, Microtech and Contact ID), confirmed signals will be transmitted across groups that share the
same account number. For example, in option 56.1.1.2 (SIA), it is possible to select a different account
number for each group on the system. Group 1 and group 2 can both be programmed with the same account
number. If there is a single activation in group 1 then a single intruder activation in group 2, within the con-
firmed time window, a confirmed alarm signal will be transmitted for group 2.
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 eight, sub-divided into A and 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; press the ent key to accept the selection.
2 = Group Settings
NOTE: This option is only displayed if the groups have been enabled (refer to option 63 = OPTIONS).
The event triggers are signalled to the telephone number, with the account number, programmed in the
menu options 56.1.2 = Telephone Number 1 and 56.1.3 = Account Number. However, each group can
be programmed to transmit event details to a unique telephone number and assigned a separate account
number. On selecting the Group Settings option the first system group is displayed. Select the required
group using the A or B keys and press the ent key, 1 = Telephone Number is displayed.
56 - Communications (cont’d)
