SG System Planning Notes:
While the installer can begin installing the Galaxy Hardware before the software and database are installed,
keep in mind that the SG Database & Communication Server (software/database &GCS services) must be
installed before the panels can connect to the system and be walk-tested.
1.
Basic hardware tests
can be performed using the
Web Configuration Tool / Embedded Web
Page
of the CPU before the system walk-through is performed.
2.
A full
walk-test
can be performed after all hardware has been installed, configured and is
programmed into the SG Software/Database, and panels are connected to the GCS Event Service
(system is online).
Tips on Planning an Installation:
1.
Obtain and use site plans, blueprints and drawings (as needed).
2.
Use the
Programming Templates
(
from
Appendix
A
of this Guide)
to record information about the
exact hardware configuration
. This information is valuable in the following ways:
Helps installer keep track of the hardware during the hardware installation & configuration process
Helps installer correctly identify all hardware during basic hardware tests, troubleshooting & walk-tests
Helps installer correctly configure the hardware into the SG Software/Database
Helps the customer’s IT Administrator understand how to support the Hardware on the LAN/Network
3.
Determine how many panels and boards you will need to install.
.
4.
Determine the types and quantity of field devices you will need
(readers, locks, contacts,
input and
output devices, clocks, separate power supplies, wiring and other field equipment).
5.
Determining the Location of controller(s) and field devices.
Remember to follow Safety, Mounting,
Wiring and Distance Specifications (see other sections in Chapter 1 for these specifications).
6.
Use the correct type of wiring for field devices.
Be sure to consider the type of ceiling (plenum vs. non-
plenum).
(Reference Chapter 1 Wiring Specifications)
7.
Contact the Network Administrator to get network access on the LAN/WAN network.
Chapter 1 – Network Requirements
covers LAN network requirements for Galaxy hardware.
Chapter 1 later sections that
cover software & system requirements for connecting to Galaxy GCS
Services. This is necessary for logging data to the database and event screen.
This information is also
helpful for troubleshooting connections.
