Honeywell Galaxy V-Plex Interface User Manual

Introduction
The Galaxy V-Plex Interface supports 128 sensors and 64 outputs. If required additional V-pex interfaces can
be connected to the RS485 line.
The interface connects directly to the Galaxy RS485 communication bus, and is programmed directly from a
standard Galaxy keypad connected to the module.

V-Plex Tamper
If the Galaxy panel is not in Engineer Mode, removing the lid of the enclosure will cause a tamper alarm.
Switch SW2 can be used to temporarily bypass the tamper switch. Closing SW3 will bypass the tamper
protection.

This option loses all programming by restoring the Non-Volatile Memory to the default values.
OPTION 12 - RIO Address
This option allows the programming of up to 16 simulated RIO modules. The RIO address must be
enabled to allow zone and output programming of its zone and output addresses. An enabled address is
shown as ■; a disabled address is shown as □.
After a cold start, or with a new module, all addresses are disabled.
