Hi all, looking for some information on a galaxy g3 - 520. Any good info out there on these panels? 

 

NB: Never go to menu access (68) eng access and turn all user access rights off... 

what do you want to know? I'd start a new topic per question as the dimension is a powerful panel

I'm not a full member so not sure if I could? 

 

I've used menu 68, sub menu something and turned user access rights off for engineer access thinking this would stop me having to use the master code to allow engineer access. The outcome is I've completely locked myself out of getting out of engineer mode as none of the user code can allow the access now. Been told the only way around this is to default the panel. This is on a huge system with very little paper work, surely the is a back way into engineer mode?

Master manager code? You have it? Engineer code should still allow you into engineer menus , and manager menu should let enable it , i think

 

Use RSS to copy all the data you need , then default it if you have to and upload back only what you need to

Yes the master manager code, I have it. The issue is I've removed the right to allow engineer access using all levels including 6.

This has made it impossible to allow engineer access using any user codes thus not allowing me back in to engineer mode to change it back.. Stupid of me I know but seems rediclus to be even a option and then even worse not to be able to un-do it. 

 

I don't have the RSS software or leads to get a download. This is one of our very few galaxy alarms so have never needed it. I'm back in the morning to try and rectify it so not sure if I can get it over the weekend anywhere? 

 

At the moment I have a huge system just waiting to go in to fault with no way to programme or reset it. Nightmare

So what happens when you enter the engineer code then?

I just get the lovely welcoming message ' insufficient access rights' 

 

I spoken to tech support and they say It needs a default. They were vague as whether or not a download using the rss software could be changed and uploaded to rectify the issue.

 

I just can't believe that changing one option on such a big system can lock you out and the only way around it is to do a default.

Can't you view zone types/descriptions in menu 21 take note then bite the bullet and default?

Its not just the zones, there's outputs hanging of it all over the place. AV, speakers, some sort of pager system, detector leds, the list goes on.. Defaulting is going to be a nightmare.
