  1. Hi boys and girls,

     

    I'm designing a one function for intruder alarm based on Honeywell Dimension Galaxy. I have got multiple panic alarm buttons and multiple relay outputs. I guess it will be Honeywell C074 Galaxy Series 4-Way Relay Interface  and i would guess this will be connected on pin header. All will be as 24hour type of inputs and I need:

    • when one or another zone (panic button) activated, to trigger one or another output, which will be C074. So if Zone1 activated Out1 activated, if Z2 activated out2 activated and so on. 
    • and keep output active until it zone changes the state.  
    • And keep normal 24hour  zone monitoring as normal.

    I wonder if for that I will need to use Links (Option 54)? 

     

    So before I will try to get all toughener I would need that some one confirm that is valid concept? So if I still missing something or maybe this totally nonsense?   Any other info you need for this technical bit?

     

    Thank you.

    Dude one is gsm other is lan

    That's the problem, it's not clear. And I can't confirm your clearingnes until I see proper pictures and descriptions. It's fine for those who have some experience with it, or for resellers as they can sell it either way or then sell something else if needs be.

     

    This was an issue with the designers for a couple of projects already, but this is only where I participated. They stated that this was what I needed and I 'knew' that it was not.

     

  3. I'm never had in my hands this module and there is not much great info o the net abut it. But let me know if I'm really have no clue what it is.

    From very poor quality picture on manufactures website I can see that it has no Ethernet port, I don't believe that it has external header for ethernet socket, that you have to buy separately. But in description its clearly stating that is "Ethernet" and in some lines even mentioned "LAN". 

    https://buildings.honeywell.com/gb/en/products/by-category/control-panels/parts-and-accessories/enclosure-mounts-and-hardware/gt40-communications-module

    Only what I see is that manufacture this size has being lazy to make two different descriptions for two very different devices. 

    https://prod-edam.honeywell.com/content/dam/honeywell-edam/hbt/en-us/documents/literature-and-specs/datasheets/HSGGT204001EN0512DSE%20pdf.pdf even herein the table the first row states that both modules supports Etherne.

    Same here https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/intruder-alarm-c-36/intruder-alarm-ancillaries-c-36_46/honeywell-galaxy-dimension-gprsip-communications-module-p-3244.html
    So before I extend my complain let me know if I'm just wrong here and I need to go and review Wikipedia what's relates LAN and Ethernet? Or this device is just GSM type of device even it does carries the IP, but to plug in to it Ethernet plug, you have to have different module, for example like this https://buildings.honeywell.com/gb/en/products/by-category/building-management/networking/network-cards-and-modules/galaxy-dimension-ip-module ?

    Hi,

     

    Does anyone have ideas/experience upgrading the Honeywell Dimmension Galaxy C048 firmware? How painful it is, how easy to get the right newer firmware file, etc.?

    It's for personal use only, and I'm not willing to pay more than just a symbolic price.

    • My board is C048-C-C1 V6.10 (says on a sticker on the main chip).
    • What does it take to get a new firmware that fits in?
    • What tools do I need?

    I understand the fact that buying from eBay may be worth the effort, but let's leave this for later.

     

    Thank you.

    This one works for sure with win11 with no issues at all, Also, it has a blue LED on the connector, very cool.

    Best if you force this controller to be COM1 in Device Manager. It's possible this one will be selected automatically in RSS.

    • Right-click on the USB to Serial device >> Properties
    • Port Settings tab >> Advanced..
    • COM Port number (dropdown) select > COM1
    • If COM1 is in use but invisible, then on the Device Manager main menu click View > Show hidden devices.
    • Select a greyed-out device with the COM1 and delete it. Then repeat the steps above.
  6. Hi boys and maybe some girls,
    In the past, when all the bits has been designed and given on the plate as needed I didn't have this problem. But lately, when I was thrown in to the ongoing random "mess", I realise that, I need to get my head around about understanding card types, bits and ideally how quickly figure out what card type is and what should work with what. When questions comes with bit and types. Then including enrolment card readers, that is possible to be programmed to read different formats and so on.
    Ideally would be, to find some on-line training or maybe guides that could put me on the right way. Any techniques to figure out card types? Any device to buy or?
    So long story short, I need some nitty-gritty guidance on card types.
    No **** please.
    Cheers for the beers.

  7. Hi,

     

    I will need to wire up quite few access control panels with mostly all the cables from devices wired with Cat5e FTP cables, well... only supplies for the locks 1.5mm twin cable. Panels itself quite roomy but I'm unsure how to make it look good inside with all those skinny solid strand twisted wires. Is there maybe (at least I couldn't find) a topic in this forum with some install pictures that I could browse? Any one maybe have any pictures for sharing in this topic? Or maybe suggestions? I know it's not end of the world, but I would like to make it nice looking.

     

    Thanks.

    for setting you have to wait , for unsetting its quicker , at least that's what i see, use to annoy customers on the galaxy 

    Yes.  Just need to sort all the error messages that apers when setting the system. In my case that 'Line Fail' was killing me. Just in case anyone else has it and not using the line then it's in 56.1.10.1.0

    Hi everyone, I am to this forum and I am looking for some advice. Have recently bought a GD 48 alarm, C037 keypad and standby battery, I have also replaced the on board button battery. My problem is that the keypad is showing ************ and I cannot get past this on power up. Have read previous posts with no success con anyone help. Thanks

    Did you sorted that?

    No, that's the MAX reader number printed on the black fob.  The number scanned by the keyprox is correct. You need to configure the users menu to link the MAX tag to the setting function if you want to use to set the system - you then need to hold the tag to the reader until the setting countdown shows on the display.

    Nice one. This means it does work. I just expected it to be more instantaneous, when presenting the fob. Thank you.

    Basically you need to learn about the panel , bugs is another issue

    Thanks for letting me know. ?

     

    Not sure if I have to crate a new topic but will try to not. I have go other question: Should the number on the fob and what reader sees be the same? In my case it's not and fob doesn't do much when programmed in and presented to the reader, for example to do timed set. I have some glitches on the system. So its hard to learn without knowing how the system must really act in first place.

  12. Yech. It's FW v6.10., I'd anddoes complain about line error. There is an option to disable line interface, also it has some serious bugs, or it's *****up or I'm maybe missing something howto sett it up. For example the keypad doesn't allow to enter the code to unset the system during the entry time, so when  alarm kicks in, o ly then it accepts key entries.

     

    Im just now in situation to find out if I can do firmware without buying any special software.

  13. Hi peaps,

     

    On the initial set up when Honeywell Galaxy boots-up for the first time (after the reset), the options after choosing the language there is:

    • 01 = ADT Com UK
    • 02 = ADT Res UK
    • 03/10 = ... (other countries)

    I can't find anywhere what difference is between those two first ones? Does it sets the panel to be Grade 2 (01) and/or Grade 3 (02) compatible? Or what it does? And if doesn't relates to Grade, then is it even a option on Galaxy?

     

    Tnx

    id use active beams for scaffolding. you can get wireless ones then use an rf door contact with inputs to get it to the galaxy. 

    I dont use galaxy rf but i think you need an rf portal now not an rf rio. But im not 100%

    Well... I just looked ones again in to Honeywell Galaxy Dimension Architecture-Chart and it seems that all those components are in one picture. I really hope that it's true.

     

    Screenshot_20210705_201857.png.c45eefceca2dc8ce69d57003b3297ded.png

     

    And RF Portal seems that is more newer device and designed to work with newer Galaxy Flex type of systems? Lets see what experts will say.

     

    Are you saying about a little bit of DIY to merry active beams with Honeywell's RF door contact transport? or?

     

    Thank you

  15. Hi,

     

    Just trying to pick the right components.

    I have got already Honeywell Dimension Galaxy 48 and C079-2 RF-RIO and I'm pretty sure that DT8M wireless PIR will work with it, but I thought I will ask before I buy those.

     

    Idea is to build temporary scaffold alarm system. So question no.2: Is it the bast what I can shoes from Honeywell dual-tec wireless PIRs for this situation? Sure not counting the fact that they probably not outdoor rated, but I will make it up something. I'm thinking to put it in 'pet mode', so in case if foxes jumping over the fence or cats. I will put beam away from bushes or trees I think this will do the job? My not professional thinking dual-tech is a good choice too?

     

    Additional question would be: There is no option in my situation for wireless sounder? But I though its fine to pull a one wire.

     

    I'm not security professional so I allowed myself to ask such a question here. ?It's OK if you answer with little bit of sarcasm, but please no answers like: "Leave it for professionals" or "I need to use outdoor grade cable for sounder". ?
