Configuring a MAX
3
 Reader into the System
NOTE: MAX
3 
readers can only be configured into the Galaxy system from engineer mode.
1. Connect the MAX
3 
to the Galaxy control panel as per the instructions given in Figure 5-1.
2. Access engineer mode.
3. Ensure that the Mode is enabled (option 69.1.1 = Access Control.Mode.Enabled).
4. Assign the MAX
3 
reader as either On-Line or Stand-Alone using option 69.2.1 = Access
Control.MAX.MAX Address:
0 = On-Line: The MAX
3 
is fully integrated with the Galaxy system and communicates via the AB line,
      sharing system resources and facilities.
1 = Standalone (default): The MAX
3 
operates as an entirely independent unit.  The Galaxy does not
      monitor the MAX
3
 for alarms, tampers or power failure.
5. Press the ent key; the Galaxy panel may prompt (depending on model) for the AB line (1 – 4)) that is
to be searched; select the line and press the ent key. The Galaxy searches for the MAX
3
 with the
highest address. New MAX
3
 readers are addressed as 8 (standalone) by default.
6. Only if adding a new MAX
3
 reader: On locating the MAX
3
 address, the keypad prompts for the
OPERATING MODE of MAX
3
 to be assigned: select 0 = On-Line or 1 = Standalone as required
and press the ent key.
When 0 = On-Line mode is selected, the keypad displays the current address of the MAX
3
 and the
range of valid addresses.  Enter the new MAX
3
 address and press the ent key; the Galaxy then repro
grams the address of the MAX
3
.  The keypad indicates the old and new MAX
3
 addresses and the
status of the reprogramming.
NOTE: It is recommended that when adding a reader, it is addressed as the lowest available number on the
line.
7. When the reprogramming is complete the MAX
3
 bleeps, the LED’s on the MAX
3
 switch off and the
keypad display returns to 1 = MAX Address.
8. Exit engineer mode - engineer code + esc:  the keypad displays the message 1 MOD. ADDED -
esc=CONTINUE.  LED 2 on the MAX
3
 reader switches on.  Press the esc key; the keypad
returns to the unset banner.
If this message is not displayed, the MAX
3
 reader is not communicating with the control panel
and has not been configured into the system (LED 2 does not switch on).
NOTES:
1. The MAX
3
 reader will not operate until engineer mode is exited and the reader is configured into the
system.
2. All MAX
3
 doors must be closed, otherwise engineer mode cannot be exited.
9. The on-line MAX
3
 reader is now configured into the system.
