Configuring a MAX Reader into the System
MAX readers can only be configured into the Galaxy system from engineer mode.
NOTE: When adding a MAX reader to a Galaxy panel ensure that there are no more than eight MAX
readers connected to the RS485 (
AB ) line.
Wire the MAX as per the instructions given with figure 5-1 then access engineer mode.
The MAX reader must be assigned as either an
On-Line or a Stand-Alone module using option 63.2.2
= OPTIONS.MAX.MAX Address:
0 =
On-Line: The MAX is fully integrated with the Galaxy system and communicates via the AB
line, sharing system resources and facilities.
1 = Standalone: The MAX operates as an entirely independent unit. The Galaxy does not monitor
the MAX for alarms, tampers or power failure.
NOTE: Early versions of MAX readers cannot convert between the stand-alone and on-line operating
modes:
• MX01S (software V1.23) is a dedicated stand-alone reader. This cannot be converted to
on-line mode and must not be connected to the Galaxy AB line. The horn output is fully
functional.
• MX01 (software V1.23) is programmed as an on-line reader. The horn output is non-
functioning. The reader can be reprogrammed, via the Galaxy system, into stand-alone
mode, however, once programmed as stand-alone it cannot be converted to on-line mode.
In stand-alone mode the horn output is fully functional.
• MX01 (software V1.32) can be reprogrammed as stand-alone or on-line as often as
required. In on-line mode, the horn output is non-functioning; in stand-alone mode the horn
output is fully functional.
Configuring as a Stand-Alone MAX
1. Ensure that the MAX is connected to the Galaxy ( RS485 AB line ) and the MAX mode is enabled
(option 63.2.1 = OPTIONS.MAX.MAX Mode ).
2. Select option 63.2.2 = OPTIONS.MAX.MAX Address and press the ent key; the Galaxy
searches for the MAX with the highest address (the new MAX reader). The Galaxy 500 and 512
prompt for the AB line (1 – 4) that is to be searched; select the line and press the
ent key. On
locating the MAX address, the keypad prompts for the
OPERATING MODE
of MAX to be assigned:
select 1 = Standalone and press the ent key. The MAX reader is readdressed as 32 .
When the reprogramming is complete the MAX bleeps, LED 2 on the MAX switches on and the
keypad display returns to
2 = MAX Address .
3. (MAX software versions 1.23 and 1.32) Disconnect the AB line from the MAX reader. Ensure
that all other modules (keypads, RIOs and on-line MAX readers) are still daisy-chained into the
Galaxy panel. If the MAX reader is the last module on the
AB line , remove the 680
Ω
end of line
resistor and put it into the last module on the line.
NOTE: The Galaxy cannot operate if the AB line is connected to stand-alone MAX readers with
software V1.23 or V1.32.
4. The MAX reader is now programmed as a stand-alone module in sleep mode (LEDs 2 – 5 on) and
can be programmed using the MAX cards (refer to Programming Stand-Alone MAX Readers).
