The initialisation procedure will:
•
Program all zones to a specific type (normally LOG type).
•
Give each zone a description using the first 16 characters of the Datalog zone text.
•
Program all relays on the panel to a specific type, Attribute and polarity.
•
Synchronise the panel’s date and time to the Datalog system’s time.
•
Reset all output relays.
At any time, the panel configuration can be aborted by clicking the Skip Configure button, which will
cause the initialisation to skip to setting the panel’s date and time and exiting. This form will
disappear when the panel’s configuration is complete.
If more than one panel exists on the system, then this procedure is repeated for each panel.
If panel initialisation is skipped the following still occur:
•
Synchronise the panel’s date and time to the Datalog system’s time.
•
Reset all output relays.
Operation
If the Galaxy panel is connected directly to a Datalog PC then when the Datalog 3 application is
started the Galaxy Panel will be initialised. If the Galaxy panel is connected remotely via a
communication device such as Adpro VST-10 or DVST, then the panel will have to be programmed
via its own keypad.
When communication is started following initialisation on a direct connect system, the system will
check the state of each zone, and if not secure, alarms will be annunciated by the Datalog. When
communication is started following a dial-up link, if remote, the Datalog will read the event log from
the Galaxy panel and annunciate alarm, short, tamper and reset conditions on the graphical
display.
In addition fault alarms will be reported for panel and module tamper conditions, module
disconnection and battery failures. Should communication be lost with a panel, a Communication
failure alarm will occur and the failure will be flashed on the system status bar. The alarm will be
repeated every 15 minutes while communications are lost.
An option is available, mainly for engineering test purposes to program a panel via a Remote
Keypad, switch output relays and read the events log as it is transmitted to the Datalog.
