01 Final
Zones programmed as Final initiate the unsetting procedure and terminate setting procedure; opening the
Final zone when the system or group is set starts the entry timer; opening and then closing the Final zone
during the exit procedure sets the system or assigned groups, providing all the zones are closed. The opening
(+) and closing (–) of Final zones during the setting and unsetting procedures are recorded in the event log.
Pressing the 7 key when programming a Final zone doubles the entry time of the group.
Opening a Final zone during the exit time is not reported on the keypad as an open zone; the Entry/Exit
Horns bleep rapidly to indicate that the zone is open.
NOTE:The termination feature of a Final zone can be extended to terminate the setting of multiple groups
by pressing the 7 key when assigning a group to the zone. Refer to the Star 7 Group Function.
02 Exit
Zones that protect the entry and exit routes are programmed as Exit. During the setting and unsetting proce-
dures Exit zones have a non-alarm operation. If the Exit zone is activated while the system is set - without the
unsetting of the group being initiated - an Intruder alarm condition is activated.
Opening an Exit zone during the exit time is not reported on the keypad as an open zone; the Entry/Exit
Horns bleep rapidly to indicate that the zone is open.
NOTE:The Exit zone can be assigned to multiple groups by pressing the 7 key when assigning a group to
the zone. This allows an Exit zone to be activated in a group which is not currently being unset
without activating an Intruder alarm. Refer to the Star 7 Group Function.
03 Intruder
The Intruder function is inactive when the system is unset. When the system is set, activation of an Intruder
zone causes a full alarm activation that requires to be reset with a code authorized for System Reset - refer
to option 51.6 = PARAMETERS.System Reset and option
51.55.3 = PARAMETERS.Confirm.Reduce Reset.
All zones are programmed as Intruder by default; this includes the zones on RIOs that are added to the
system at a later date.
04 24 Hours
The 24 Hours zone function is continuously operational. In the unset state, activation of the zone function
generates a local alarm condition (the Intruder outputs are not activated). If the zone is activated while the
system is set, the 24 Hours function operates the same as an Intruder function and results in a full alarm
condition. The 
24 Hours zone function requires a system reset following an activation in both the set and unset
conditions.
05 Security
The operation of the Security zone function is identical to the 24 Hours zone function, except a Security
zone activation in the unset generates a local alarm (Horn outputs activated) that does not require a system
reset; any valid code (type 2 or above) cancels the alarm and resets the system. An activation in the set state
generates a full alarm that requires a system reset. The activation (+) and restoration (–) of Security zones is
recorded in the event log.

06 Dual (Double Knock)
The operation of the Dual (Double Knock) function is identical to the Intruder function, with the exception
that an alarm condition is activated only when there have been two activations from any Dual  zones (assigned
to the same group) within a 20 minute period while the system is set.
07 Entry
This function initiates the unsetting procedure in the same way as a Final zone. However, during the setting
routine an Entry zone operates as an Exit zone type. This function is normally used in conjunction with a
Push Set zone, which acts as the exit terminator for the setting procedure.
Pressing the 7 key when programming an Entry zone doubles the entry time of the group.
Opening an Entry zone during the exit time is not reported on the keypad as an open zone; the Entry/Exit
Horns bleep rapidly to indicate that the zone is open.
08 Push Set
This zone function is used to terminate the setting routine. The system sets when the Push Set zone, usually a
push button, is activated. The Entry/Exit Horn stops immediately the button is pressed; the system sets after
four seconds, allowing the doors to settle to the closed state. The Push Set zone remains inactive until the
next setting routine.
NOTE:The Push Set zone can be either 1kΩ going to 2kΩ or 2kΩ to 1kΩ - refer to Installation Manual
(II1-0033), System Architecture for wiring details. The first time that the Push Set is used to
terminate the setting, the button will require to be pressed twice; the first press identifies the normal
status of the button to the system.
Activating a Push Set zone during the exit time is not reported on the keypad as an open zone; the Entry/
Exit Horns bleep rapidly to indicate that the zone is open.
NOTE:The termination feature of a Final zone can be extended to terminate the setting of multiple groups
by pressing the 7 key when assigning a group to the zone. Refer to the Star 7 Group Function.
09 Keyswitch
The Keyswitch function allows a zone to be used as an on/off switch for the system or assigned groups.
Operating a Keyswitch zone when the system is unset starts the timed full setting routine, therefore the exit
time is applicable.  The system sets when the exit time expires or a Final or Push Set is activated.
NOTE:Assigning a # to the keyswitch zone function will cause the Instant setting routine to be activated. In
this case the exit time is not applicable. If a Keyswitch Zone has its omit attribute enabled, activation
of the Keyswitch will force set the assigned groups. Only zones with the omit attribute enabled will
be omitted.
When the keyswitch is activated twice during the exit time of an autoset, the autoset is temporarily cancelled
for a few seconds, then it restarts the exit time causing the panel to reset.
Operating a keyswitch zone type during the pre-warn period of an autoset will start a Force Set. If you then
activate the switch again (i.e. unset with keyswitch) before the panel sets, the pre-warn continues on the
autoset.
NOTE:When the keyswitch is activated the second time to take panel back into pre-warn, it can be up to
10 seconds before the pre-warn tones at  the keypad start up again.

 If the system is set, operating a Keyswitch immediately unsets the assigned groups; there is no entry time
countdown.
The Part attribute of the Keyswitch function defaults to 0 (disabled); the standard Keyswitch function full
sets the system. To part set the system using the Keyswitch, the Part attribute must be enabled.
NOTE:The operation of a Keyswitch zone can be extended to the setting and unsetting of multiple groups
by pressing the 7 key when assigning a group to the zone. Refer to the Star 7 Group Function.
The standard programming of the Keyswitch function requires a momentary change from 1kΩ to 2kΩ to
both set and unset the system. If the Keyswitch connected has a latching mechanism, press the 7 key when
assigning the function; the display indicates 09=7KEYSWITCH has been assigned. The
7 Keyswitch operation is as follows: 1kΩ to 2kΩ sets the system; 2kΩ to 1kΩ unsets the system.
The Keyswitch function can also be programmed to reset alarms - refer to option 51.14 =
PARAMETERS.Keyswitch Level. If the Keyswitch is assigned a sufficient type to reset the alarm condi-
tion, the alarm is cancelled and immediately reset when the Keyswitch is used to unset the system following
an alarm activation.
NOTE:The activated zones are not displayed on the keypad when a Keyswitch is used to reset the alarm.
10 Secure Final
This zone has dual functionality depending on whether the system is set or unset. When the system is setting,
set or unsetting the operation is identical to the Final   zone function. When the system is unset the operation is
identical to the Security zone function.
Pressing the 7 key when programming a Secure Final zone doubles the entry time of the group.
Opening a Secure Final zone during the exit time is not reported on the keypad as an open zone; the Entry/
Exit Horns bleep rapidly to indicate that the zone is open.
The termination feature of a Secure Final zone can be extended to terminate the setting of multiple groups by
pressing the 7 key when assigning a group to the zone. Refer to the Star 7
 Group Function.
11 Part Final
This zone has dual functionality depending on whether the system is full set or part set. When the system is full
set the zone operation is identical to the Final zone function. When the system is part set the zone operation is
identical to the Intruder zone function.
Pressing the 7 key when programming a Part Final zone doubles the entry time of the group.
Opening a Part Final zone during the exit time is not reported on the keypad as an open zone; the Entry/Exit
Horns bleep rapidly to indicate that the zone is open.
12 Part Entry
This zone has dual functionality depending on whether the system is full set or part set. When the system is full
set the zone operation is identical to the Exit zone function. When the system is part set the zone operation is
identical to the Entry zone function.
Pressing the 7 key when programming a Part Entry zone doubles the entry time of the group.

13 PA
The PA (Personal Attack) function is continuously operational. Activation of this zone type overrides the Bell
Delay parameter and causes an instant full alarm condition that requires to be reset with a code authorized for
PA Reset — refer to Option 51 – PARAMETERS, 22 = PA Reset; the Intruder outputs are not acti-
vated by PA zones.
NOTE:If a PA zone is open, it is indicated on the keypad whenever a valid code is entered. The group that
the open PA is assigned to cannot be set until it is closed.
14 PA Silent
The PA Silent function is identical to the PA function, with the exception that there is no audible or visual
indication of the activation; that is, no bells or strobes are activated.  Only the PA output (normally channel 2
on the digital communicator) signals the alarm.  The activation (+) and restoral (–) of PA Silent zones is
recorded in the event log.
NOTES
1.At the time of setting, any PA Silent zones that are currently open are reported to the user.
2.The tamper facility on the PA zone remains active while engineer mode is accessed.
3.Engineer mode cannot be exited if a PA Silent zone is open.
15 PA Delay
The PA Delay function is identical to the PA function, with the exception that the PA output activation can be
delayed for up to 60 seconds; this is determined by option 51.13 = PARAMETER.PA Delay.  During the
period of delay the Entry/Exit Horns activate to remind the user that the PA delay  is counting down; entering
a valid code or closing the PA Delay zone aborts the alarm.
NOTES
1.If a PA Delay zone is open, it is indicated on the keypad whenever a valid code is entered. The group
that the open PA Delay is assigned to cannot be set until it is closed.
2.The tamper facility on the PA zone remains active while engineer mode is accessed.
16 PA Delay Silent
The PA Delay Silent function is identical to the PA Delay function, with the exception that there is no audible
or visual indication of the activation; that is, no bells or strobes are activated.  Only the PA output (normally
channel 2 on the digital communicator) signals the alarm. The activation (+) and restoral (–) of PA Delay
Silent zones are recorded in the event log.
NOTES
1.At the time of setting, any PA Delay Silent
 zones that are currently open are reported to the user.
2.The tamper facility on the PA zone remains active while engineer mode is accessed.

17 Link
This zone type has no operational function; it is designed to be used as a source of a link - refer to option 54 =
LINKS. The activation (+) and de-activation (–) of Link zones is recorded in the event log.
18 Spare
The Spare function allows any zones that are not being used to be ignored by the system; the resistance
readings from the circuit - including the tamper conditions - do not activate an alarm condition.
NOTE:It is recommended that all unused zones are programmed as Spare and that a 1kΩ 1% resistor is
connected across each of these zones.
19 Fire
The Fire function is continuously operational. When activated, a FIRE zone overrides the Bell Delay pa-
rameter and activates an instant alarm (Bell, Strobe and Fire). The keypad buzzer and control panel horn
output, if fitted, emit an interrupted tone (one second on, 0.5 seconds OFF), easily distinguishable from all
other alarm conditions. Any valid code entry cancels the Fire activation.
20 Tamper
The Tamper function is continuously operational. When a Tamper zone is activated (1kΩ to 2kΩ), a tamper
alarm is generated; this requires to be reset by a code authorized for Tamper Reset - refer to option 51.7 =
PARAMETERS.Tamper Reset. If a tamper condition (open or short circuit) occurs, a tamper alarm is also
generated.
21 Bell Tamper
This function is identical to the operation of the Tamper function but is dedicated to bells, sirens and other
modules or output devices requiring tamper protection.
22 Beam Pair
This function is only operational when two consecutively addressed zones programmed as Beam Pair are
open in the set condition; the activation is identical to the Intruder function. The system cannot set if a single
Beam Pair is open.
NOTE:Beam Pair zones must be consecutively addressed; the first Beam Pair zone must have an even
number address, the second Beam Pair must have the next address (an odd number). For example,
valid Beam Pair addresses are 1036 & 1037, 2018 & 2031 - in this case, RIO 202 has not been
connected, therefore zone 2031 is the next address to 2018.
23 Battery Low
This function is used to monitor the voltage output of a standby battery connected to a power supply.  The
activation (+) and de-activation (–) of Battery Low zones is recorded in the event log.

24 Line Fail
The Line Fail function is used to monitor the communication line that a remote signalling device is connected
to for communications failure.
When the system is in the unset state, the first activation of a Line Fail zone causes a local alarm and the
message COMMS FAILURE is displayed, subsequent Line Fail activations do not sound the local alarm;
the only indication is the keypad display.
When the system is set, activation of the Line Fail zone overrides the Bell Delay parameter; on unsetting the
system a local alarm is generated and the keypad gives an indication that Line Fail zone has activated.  If an
alarm condition occurs while the Line Fail is active, an instant full alarm is generated.
If the Line Fail zone is active at the point of setting, a warning message is displayed; the user can choose to
continue or abort the setting procedure. It is also possible to prevent the system setting if the Line Fail is
active by enabling the Stop Set parameter (option 51.18).
25 AC Fail
This function is used to monitor a remote power supply. In the event of a power failure the AC Fail zone is
activated; the activation (+) and de-activation (–) of the zone is recorded in the event log.
26 Log
This zone type has no operational function; it is designed to record the activation of a zone in both the set and
unset state.  The activation (+) and de-activation (–) of Log zones is recorded in the event log.
27 Remote Access
This function is used to disable remote servicing of the Galaxy panel.  When the Remote Access zone is
active the Galaxy Gold software is prevented from gaining access to the Galaxy panel.
28 Video
This function is identical to the Intruder function, with the exception that the cumulative number of activations
from Video zones, before a full alarm is generated, is programmable. The number of activations required is
determined by the Video parameter (option 51.30); the range is 1–9. The activation count is incremented
when any Video zone in the group activates; the count is reset to zero when the group is unset.
29 Video Exit
The Video Exit function is identical to the Video function, with the exception that the user can activate the
zone during setting and unsetting without incrementing the Video activations count. The Video output is not
activated during setting and unsetting.

30 Intruder Delay
The Intruder Delay function is identical to the Intruder function, with the exception that the full alarm activa-
tion can be delayed for up to 50 minutes (0–3000 seconds); this is determined by the Delay Alarm param-
eter (option 51.31). The Intruder Delay zone must remain open for the period of the Delay Alarm param-
eter; while the zone is open the Entry/Exit Horns activate to remind the user that the Delay Alarm is count-
ing down. Unsetting the system or closing the Intruder Delay zone aborts the alarm and resets the timer.
If a second Intruder Delay zone opens followed by the first zone closing, the Delay Alarm time continues to
count from the activation of the first zone. The Delay Alarm timer is reset only when all delay type zones
return to the closed state.
31 Log Delay
The Log Delay function operation is identical to the Log function, with the exception that the recording of the
zone activation can be delayed for up to 50 minutes (0–3000 seconds); this is determined by the Delay
Alarm parameter (option 51.31). Closing the Log Delay zone resets the timer and aborts the recording of
the event in the log.
32 Set Log
The Set Log function is identical to the Log function, with the exception that zone activations are only re-
corded in the event log during the set period.
33 Custom A
The Custom A function allows a zone to be assembled. The functionality of the zone; when it activates; the
outputs activated; if it sets or unsets the systems; if it logs, are assigned using menu option 64 = ASSEMBLE
ZONE.  Once the Custom A zone has been created, it can be assigned to as many zones as required.
34 Custom B
This function is identical in operation and assembly to Custom A.

35 = Exit Guard
The Exitguard function allows a zone to be used to omit other zones on the system.  This is useful for permit-
ting access via doors programmed as 24 Hours or Security.
The Exitguard zone must be the source of a link (refer to option 54 = LINKS); the destination of the
Exitguard link is either a zone address or an output type.
When opened, the Exitguard omits the zone entered as the link destination; an alarm is not activated if the
Exitguard zone is open while a zone that it is omitting is open.  If the destination zone is opened while the
Exitguard zone is closed, an alarm activation occurs; opening the Exitguard omits the zone and silences the
output types assigned to the link destination. Closing the Exitguard zone while the destination zone is still
open does not result in an alarm activation; closing the destination zone deactivates the link and returns the
zone to its normal operation.
NOTE:The Exitguard function cannot be used as a link source to activate a link destination output.
Programming Example:• Zone 1014 = An on/off keyswitch programmed as Exitguard.
• Zone 1015 = A door contact programmed as Security.
• Output type Link A = An output wired to a local horn and programmed as Link
A.
NOTE:Exit Guard zones do not omit zones open when the exit guard zone is activated , even if they are
subsequently closed.
Operation: The Security door contact (1015) can be omitted at any time by operating the Exitguard
keyswitch (1014). If the door (1015) is opened without first being omitted, then the Link A horn activates and
needs to be reset by operating the keyswitch (1014).
Table 18.  Exit Guard Zones
36 Mask
The Mask function is designed to be used with detectors capable of reporting that their field of view has been
blocked or masked. The Mask function is identical to the Security function, with the exception that the
Mask output is activated instead of Security.
NOTE:This zone type is independent from the mask zone state which can be detected for zones supporting
the masked feature.
37 Urgent
The Urgent function is continuously operational; it is identical to the Intruder function, with the exception that
it activates a full alarm condition (including the Intruder outputs) in any set or unset condition.

38 PA Unset
This PA Unset function is identical to the PA Silent function, with the exception that it is only operational
when the system is unset; the function is inactive when the group is set.
39 Keyswitch Reset
The Keyswitch Reset function allows alarms to be cancelled and the system to rearm without unsetting the
Galaxy. The type of reset authorization is determined by the Keyswitch Level (option 51.14). The type
required to reset Intruder, PA and Tamper alarms is determined by the System Reset, Tamper Reset
and PA Reset parameters (option 51.06, 51.07 and 51.22) respectively.
This function is designed to permit a remote signal, for example REDCare’s Return Path Signalling feature, to
reset the system following an alarm condition.
40 Bell Fail
This zone type is intended for bells which have diagnostic capabilities and failure outputs. If activated, this zone
causes a fault condition.
41 Intr Low
This zone type assigns a low priority to a zone in the event of an intruder alarm. The event is logged as low
priority in the event log.
42 Intr High
This zone type assigns a high priority to a zone in the event of an intruder alarm. The event is logged as high
priority in the event log.
43 PSU Fault
This zone type triggers a general fault output and logs a PSU fault in the event log. The fault is signalled to the
ARC as YP when using  SIA format and 314 when using CID format.
44-46
Not used
47 Vibration
The Vibration function is continuously operational and is designed for use with vault sensors. Vibration 
zones can be block omitted using menu option 11 = Omit Zones.  If the zone selected to be omitted from the
system is a Vibration zone, then all zones programmed with this function are omitted.
NOTES
1.All Vibration zones in all groups are omitted when any Vibration zone is omitted. The user code does
not have to have access to all of the groups.
2. Vibration zones remain omitted until a single Vibration zone is manually reinstated. The unsetting of the
system does not reinstate omitted Vibration zones.
