Galaxy Programming Manual

When one of these conditions is detected, a LINE FAIL message is sent to the Galaxy and is stored in the
event log, with the exception of line volts which is monitored for a further 30 minutes. If sufficient line voltage is
restored within 30 minutes, no event will be stored. If an attempt is made to set the system or part of the
system within the 30 minute period, the message ALERT - LINE FAIL 1 ent = CONTINUE SET will be
displayed. If ent is pressed the set will continue; if esc is pressed a line fail will immediately be logged. If the
system is unset, the COMM LINE FAIL message appears on the keypad display and a local alarm is
sounded - the keypad buzzers and on-board horn (if connected) are activated. If the system is set when a line
fail condition occurs, the message COMM LINE FAIL will be displayed when the system is unset. This will
be accompanied by a local alarm.
The local alarm is only activated for the first line condition of each unset period. Subsequent line fails are
displayed as TELECOM FAILURE messages on the keypad for the duration of the condition and are
recorded in the event log.
If an alarm occurs during a line fail condition, then the programmed bell delay for each of the groups is over-
ridden (refer to option 51.02 = PARAMETERS.Bell Delay).
11 Fail to Communicate
This option determines the number of unsuccessful communications attempts before the COMM FAIL
message is recorded in the event log.
When an alarm condition or event is to be transmitted to the monitoring station, the Telecom module snatches
the telephone line and dials the programmed telephone numbers. After a successful communication the LED
lights for three seconds, the module then releases the telephone line and reconnects any serially connected
equipment. This procedure is repeated for the second telephone number if the Receiver option has been
programmed as Dual.
NOTE: The Telecom module communicator snatches and holds the line until a successful attempt has been
made to the required telephone numbers or all the repeat attempts have been tried.
If the communication attempt is unsuccessful, the LED flashes rapidly for three seconds. The communicator
then waits for a short period before redialling the number (or the second telephone number if the Receiver
option has been programmed as Dual or Alternate ). When the Fail To Communicate option is left at the
default setting of 3, if the first three dialling attempts are unsuccessful, the COMM FAIL message is recorded
in the event log. If the next two attempts (5 attempts in total) are unsuccessful, the alarms to be transmitted are
erased from the buffer, and no further attempts are made, until a new event is transmitted to the Telecom
module
NOTE: If the Receiver option is programmed as Dual then successful transmission must be made to both
telephone numbers.
12 Remote Access
This option defines when and how Galaxy Gold remote servicing will operate. The options are described as
follows.
1 = Access Period
This option determines under what conditions the remote site can be accessed by the remote Galaxy Gold
operator. There are 4 modes:
1 = Off
Galaxy Gold access to the Galaxy panel is disabled
56 - Communications (cont’d)
