1 Introduction

1.1 Sticker i-serie

This manual describes the linking between iProtect and the GalaXy intrusion system.
This document is based on iProtect version 8.00. It is possible that some features cannot be used in older versions of iProtect.

1.2 Required version

2 Settings GalaXy

2.1 If internal RS232 module

• Connect the internal RS232 connection to a network device (iPU-8 (PRT2), Polyx (PRT4) or Pluto using a USB-RS232 converter).

2.2 Programmering interne RS232 module

In the GalaXy center you can program at menu option 56 “Communication” the internal RS232 module.

• Choose at menu 56 option 6 (Internal RS232 1). You get a choice out of the next options:

• Select option 1: Mode=Direct (press then on <ESC>)

• Select option 2: Format=SIA (Set here the desired events which have to be received by iProtect™)

• Select option 3: enter the customer number (4 to 6 digits)

• Choose SIA Level= 4 ()

• Baud Rate = 38400

• Data Bits = 8

• Stop Bits = 1

• Parity = None

(*) Level 0: (default): Basic event information with 4-digit customer number
Level 1: Equal to Level 0, but with 6-digit customer number
Level 2: Equal to Level 1, but with extra event information
Level 3: Equal to Level 2, but with textual description (highest available level for alarm room)
Level 4: Equal to Level 3, but with addition of commands which can be received by the
GalaXy. This level cannot be used for the Dutch alarm rooms.

• After selection of the SIA level, the first trigger will be displayed with the corresponding status (see table underneath). The most messages which can be sent to a receiver by a GalaXy panel are subdivided at the triggers. Use the [A]- or [B]-button or press directly the number for selecting the desired trigger. Press then on the [ent]-button for adapting the settings of this trigger.

• Do not the installer menu yet.

2.3 If external RS232 module

• Install the GalaXy panel according to the manual. For installer codes etc. see also the corresponding manual.

• Unlink temporarily any possible modem/choosers (if version 1.03 or higher).

• Connects the iPU-8/Polyx of the iProtect system with the RS232 connector JP2 of the RS232 module of the GalaXy panel. See figure 7 and 8.

• Switch on the net voltage of GalaXy panel. Check at ‘DIP’ of the RS232 module the correct settings:

•  Check the LED’s of the RS232 module. LED2 (red) must burn continuously. LED1 (red) states the communication quality.

2.4 Programming external RS232 module

In the GalaXy panel you can program at menu option 56 “Communication” the external RS232 module.

• Choose at menu 56 option 2 (External RS232 module). You get the choice from these options:

• Select option 1: Mode=Direct (Press then on <ESC>)

• Select option 2: Format=SIA (Set here the desired events which must be received each by iProtect)

• Choose SIA Level= 3

• Press then a number of times on <ESC> and leave the Master menu. <Again Master code + <ESC>

• Select option 3: enter the customer number (4 to 6 digits)

2.5 Neutralize alarm limitation

(This is valid for internal and external RS232 module.)

• Choose at menu 51 option 48. Set the following three options on “0”:
  • Number of alarms
  • Switch off limit
  • Switch on limit

• Exit the installer menu.

4 Visualization alarm system in keymap™

4.1 Placing Widgets

• Create under General | Settings | Keymap a floor map.

• Click in the frame of the detail window and load a picture of the building or from a floor
  where detectors are installed. Save the record. The image will now be displayed as a background image for the alarm visualization.

Loading the background image for the floor map (Dutch working station)

• In the treeview underneath the new record of the floor map the record “Widget positioning” has appeared. Click on this record. The detail window ‘Widget positioning’ opens.

• By means of Widgets you can now display each sort status of each / each alarm point.
  Repeat for each Widget the next steps:

1. Right-click on the background image and choose ‘Security message (third party)’. Choose ‘alarm point’ and then the sort status, which you want to have displayed. See for this the next chapter about ‘alarm point statuses’.

2. The default symbol for the momentary status of a default alarm point appears. Drag with the mouse the Widget on the desired place and set the size of the Widget.

3. Click on the tab sheet ‘Widget control’. Select at ‘column value’ the alarm point, of which the status has to be shown. – You can adapt at ‘column name’ the status once more (you see here a bigger number statuses and parameters from which you can choose). On top of this on the tab sheets you can set or determine the size and position of the Widget exactly, that the status is not displayed with a symbol, but
   textual.

Placing Widgets on the background image. In this example three statuses are stated by a symbol (e.g. )
and – on the right - textual (e.g. ‘sabotage closed’).

• You can set comparable statuses of alarm groups.

• Which default symbols represents which value of a alarm point or alarm group status, can you view at General | Settings | Keymap | Icon assignment.

• Open at General | Overviews the new floor map. Check whether changes at the detectors are shown in the right way.

4.2 Alarm point status

You can have 3 sorts status of an alarm point (detector) shown:
• Physical status (or ‘point status’ in the detail window of the alarm point)
• Logical status and
• Calculating status (or ‘alarm status’ in the detail window of the alarm point)

4.2.1 Physical status

The physical status states which resistance the system measures in the detector circuit:

The physical status can be separated thus into 3 groups:

• Extreme resistance values which can only be explained by sabotage of the detector (‘Sabotage closed’/ ‘Sabotage opened’), this alarm situation will be notified with the highest priority – independent of e.g. the detector operation

• Unusual resistance values which cannot be explained by normal detector operation and e.g. can hint on cable contact (‘Low resistance’/‘High resistance’)

• Resistance values, which the detector can assume at regular function (‘Normal’/ ‘Open’)

4.2.2 Logical status

The logical status is a first interpretation of the resistance value based on the sort detector and entered parameters (e.g. ‘bypassed’ on ‘yes’):

• Idle: the detector does not notice an insecure situation

• Active: the detector notices an insecure situation, but his alarm group does not stand on ‘armed’

• Alarm: the detector notices an insecure situation and his alarm group stands on ‘armed’

• Bypassed: the messages of this detector will be ignored by the system

• Sabotage: e.g. someone opens the housing of the detector without permission

• Local alarm

• Hold-up alarm

• Unknown

4.2.3 Calculated status

The calculated status is a combination of the logical status of the detector and the en de arming of the alarm group of the alarm point:

• Idle: the alarm group of the alarm point is not standing anymore on “armed’ and the alarm point does not send an alarm message

• Activated: the alarm group of the alarm point stands on “armed’ and the alarm point sends no alarm message

• Active: the alarm group of the alarm point does not stand on ‘armed’, the alarm point has passed an alarm message and the alarm group has not been reset

• Alarm: the alarm group of the alarm point stands on armed’, the alarm point has passed an alarm message and the alarm group has not been reset

• Bypassed: the alarm group of the alarm point stands on ‘bypassed’

5 General

5.1 Type statuses

Physical status (the real loop status)

• Open (resistance value)

• Closed (resistance value)

Logical status (the translation of the physical status to an alarm situation)

• Switched on,

• in alarm,

• tamper,

• etc

Calced status

• The translation of [physical + logical] in combination with the (alarm-) status of the group in which the zone sits. At switching off the block the point which has been in alarm, will automatically be reset.

5.2 Maximum number of items in iProtect

The numbers are determined by iProtect. See iProtect; Installation; Database; Table information:
