51=Parameters 
In this menu, all the general parameters are set up, such as 
Bell time, entry/exit time, reset levels, and part set 
signalling parameters. Select each particular parameter by 
using the scroll keys (A> and <B) and press ent to edit the 
settings for that parameter. Many parameters will have a 
separate setting for each group, if group mode is enabled. 
 
52=Zones 
In this menu, the function of each individual zone input 
can be customised. Select the zone address using the scroll 
keys (A> and <B) and press ent to access the parameters 
for that zone. 
 
53=Outputs 
In this menu, the function of each individual output can be 
customised. Select the output address using the scroll keys 
(A> and <B) and press ent to access the parameters for 
that output. 
 
69 = Access Control 
In this menu, door access is controlled by either a MAX 
module or a Door Control Module (DCM). The Mode 
needs to be enabled  if prox tags are to be used with a 
keyprox, MAX reader or DCM reader. 
 
56=Communications 
In this menu, Alarm signalling to the ARC can be 
configured. First, select the module type from the list using 
the scroll keys (A> and <B) then press ent to access the 
parameters for that module. The account number, 
Telephone no/IP address and format need to be 
programmed to enable basic communications. 
 
Note:   Telecom modules are not suitable for alarm 
signalling on EN50131 Grade 3 systems. 
42=Users 
In this menu, use the further sub menu called User Codes 
to program the attributes of individual users. Each user on 
the system can have the following assigned: PIN code, 
Prox tag, Type (authority level) and Group. PIN codes 
must be at least 5 digits on Grade 3 compliant systems.  
 
To program a Prox tag, first make sure Access mode is 
enabled. Next select the user required then select option 7 
Card no. on a keyprox, press 1 & A together then present 
the user’s tag to the bottom of the keypad. The number 
will enter automatically. For use on MAX readers, simply 
type in the number printed on the MAX tag. Press ent to 
save. To allow setting and unsetting with the tag, option 8 
MAX MENU must be programmed as 12=Timed set for 
each user. 
 
Built-in Comms 
The Galaxy Dimension has a built-in telephone dialler. 
The incoming telephone line should be wired to the ‘Line 
A B’ terminals next to the phone symbol. The alarm panel 
should always be the first device on the phone line. 
Additional extensions should be connected to the serial 
terminals marked  ‘PHONE A B’. This will allow the 
panel to snatch the line when it needs to dial out. 
 
Note:   Signalling via the on-board Telecom module will 
meet EN50131/PD6662 Grade 2 requirements 
only. It should not be used for alarm signalling to 
an ARC on Grade 3 installations.  
 
All comms programming is done in menu 56. 
 
Connecting External Comms 
When connecting external comms devices via the on-board 
outputs, ensure that the outputs are switched to pull-up 
operation. This is done by switching ON the first 7 
switches on the 8-way dipswitch on the lower right corner 
of the PCB. Leave the 8
th
 switch in the OFF position in. 
By default, the outputs are in “open collector” mode. The 
output functions can be programmed in menu 53. 
 
Remote Servicing 
When using Remote servicing, The System ID field in 
menu 51.15.1=System Text should be programmed. This 
field is used to identify the panel to the PC software and is 
a string up to 16 characters in length. Typically it can be 
the installation’s contract number.  
 
To comply with EN50131, the panel is defaulted to only 
allow connection to remote servicing software, if 
authorised via menu 47.1. Set this to Direct access on the 
appropriate communication device and dial-in connection 
will be authorised for 40 minutes. Alternatively, a dial out 
to the remote servicing software can also be initiated from 
this menu. 
Remote Routine Inspection 
A Remote Routine Inspection (RRI) is a regular system 
check to assess its health and performance. 
How to Set Up RRI 
  Select Call Back number 1 (menu option 
56.1.12.2.3). 
  Enter the Start Time and End Time for the 
Inspection (menu option 47.4.2). The panel will 
dial out at a random time between the Start Time 
and End Time. 
  Enter the Scheduled number of days between auto 
RRI communications (menu option 47.4.6.1). The 
number of days is selectable from 0-365. 
  Select No Code/Notice (menu option 47.4.6.2.3). 
Zone Activity Monitoring 
Zone activity can be monitored  by programming a type in 
menu option 52.8.  The zones are checked for activity 
during a set time period or set/unset cycles programmed in 
menu option 51.61. If the zone does not activate at least 
once within the programmed criteria a zone masked fault 
is indicated at the panel.
