G2 RF Portal
The G2 RF Portal is a wireless receiver for the Honeywell V2 Domonial transmitter range. The G2 RF Portal
allows the control panel to receive signals from wire-free detectors and radio keyfobs. One RF Portal will
allow the control panel to assign wire-free detectors to any or all detection zones. However, two RF Portals
can be used to increase coverage.
A maximum of two RF Portals can be connected to the RS485 (AB) line to support up to 44 zones.

Connecting the RF Portal
The RS485 (AB) line of the RF Portal must be wired in parallel (daisy-chain configuration) with the RS485
(AB) line of any keypads connected to the system.  The RF Portal requires 12 Vd.c. (range 9.0 V to 14.0 V)
and 55 mA.  This can be supplied from the control panel power supply or from a remote power supply if the
distance causes a large voltage drop on the cable.
Configuring the RF Portal
The added RF Portal is...

2-Way Audio (2–44+ Only)
The system can support up to three TP800 speaker-mic devices via the audio header. To allow connection via
the Audio Header, an Audio Terminal Board must be fitted (part no. A233—2-way Audio Terminal Board).
Alternatively, a 14-way socket can connect directly on to the Audio Header on the main PCB.
The Galaxy 2 Series Audio Terminal Board is a connector that allows 2-way audio communication (speak and
listen) between the panel PCB and the...

GSM Module (2–44+ Only)
A Dedicated GSM telecommunication interface can be connected to the Galaxy 2 series control panel to
allow an alternative communication path to the PSTN telephone line. The GSM module is installed as follows.
CAUTION:Install the control panel with the GSM Module at least 1.5 m from any wireless
peripheral device. This will avoid interference generated by the GSM. Do not
install the module in the immediate proximity of a sound source...

Note on SIM cards: Any valid GSM sim card can be used. Both contract and Pre-pay types will work,
although contract SIMs are better for systems with alarm signalling as there is no chance of credit running out
when an alarm activation needs to be signalled. If the GSM module is to be used for remote servicing, then a
Data-enabled SIM card must be used. Most service provider can supply this service on contract SIMs and
will issue a separate data number. This data...
