22 - Display Log
Option 22 – Display Log (Quick Menu Option 4)
The Galaxy event log is viewed using this menu option. The number of events that each of the Galaxy panels
can store are as follows:
• GD-48
• GD-96/264/520 - 1500 events
The alarm log uses a FIFO (First In, First Out) method to log and store alarms. The control panel differenti-
ates between mandatory and non-mandatory events. All events are logged, however when the log becomes
full, non-mandatory events are dropped first. The log will always contain at least 500 mandatory events
(assuming 500 or more mandatory events have been generated). A full list of EN50131-1 mandatory events
and non-mandatory events logged by the Galaxy panel is given in Appendix D of this manual.
NOTE: The number of events logged from any one source during any set/unset period is controlled by
parameter 51.48 (Alarm Limits).
If group mode is enabled (refer to option 63 = OPTIONS) and the user code has group choice (refer to
option 42 = CODES), then the available groups are displayed for selection. Press the number of the groups
to be displayed, the N below the selected group changes to a flashing Y. When all the required groups are
selected press the ent key to access the log; only the events in the selected groups are displayed.
Once the event log is accessed, the most recent event is displayed. The B key steps backwards in time
through the log, while the A key moves forward in time. Holding down either key quickly steps through the
dates until the required date is found. When a selected date is on display the events of that day and previous
days can be viewed by repeatedly pressing the B key; events on subsequent days are viewed by repeatedly
pressing the A key.
The event log is wrapped round from beginning to end. The message START or END (depending on
whether the A key or the B key is being pressed) is briefly displayed when the wraparound is passed through.
The following information is detailed in the event log:
• time - time that event occurred;
• date - day and date that event occurred;
• event - information about the type of event that occurred. Certain events are displayed with a +
(positive — indicating that the event started or was activated) or – (negative — indicating that the event
ended or was terminated) symbol;
• user - alternates between the name and number of the user who initiated the event. If the event is
one that is not associated with a user code, for example, an alarm activation or a Final zone
closing, then no user information is displayed.
Pressing the # key while viewing the log can reveal additional information about certain event types:
• User events reveal the keypad, user type and user group involved in the event;
• Alarm events reveal the zone descriptor, if programmed.
• Walk tested RF zones reveal the measured signal strength of each RF device.
• REM CALL event displays the Remote Station ID for the Remote Servicing Software which has made
the connection with the panel.
