Galaxy Programming Manual
Accessing Engineer Mode (Galaxy 512)
User Authorised Access
The default engineer code (112233) on the Galaxy 512 is allocated a #. With the # assigned, the engineer
code operation is as follows:
1. Enable Engineer Access:
User Code + ent + 48 + ent + 1 + ent + esc + esc
2. Access Engineer Mode
Engineer Code + ent
Entry to the engineer mode is authorised by a user with access to menu option 48 = ENGINEER ACCESS.
The user selects this option and presses key 1 to enable engineer access. The engineer code must then be
entered within five minutes of the option being enabled. A single entry of the engineer code directly accesses
the mode, without activating an engineer tamper alarm. If the code is not entered within the five minute period,
the engineer code is invalid and has no effect. Once the engineer mode has been accessed, there is no time
limit on the period that the engineer can remain in the mode.
On accessing engineering mode, any group that is set becomes inaccessible to the engineer. The set groups
cannot be assigned to zones, outputs and any other functions permitting group allocation.
Galaxy 512 only
The system cannot be set by any user codes while engineer mode is accessed.
Disabling User Authorisation of Engineer Access
The remote code (User 200 on G60, User 250 on G128, User 500 on G500 and User 999 on G504 and
G512) can remove the # from the engineer code. If the # is removed access to engineer mode is gained in the
same manner as the Galaxy 8, 18, 60, 128, 500 and 504; the engineer code must be entered twice to gain
menu access.
NOTE: The engineer code or remote code can assign the # to the engineer PIN. Only the remote code can
remove it.
Exiting from Engineer Mode
To exit from engineer mode and return to the normal banner enter, carry out the following operation:
1.
Return to the engineer banner,
2.
Enter the engineer code,
3.
Press the esc key.
The Galaxy carries out the following checks:
1.
That there are no module or zone tampers. If there are any module or zone tampers the escape
procedure is aborted.
2.
That it is communicating with all of the attached modules.
If any modules are reported as missing from the system, the Galaxy prompts the engineer to
remove each of the missing modules by pressing the
missing modules, the escape procedure is aborted.
