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.

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

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).
(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
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

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.

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).
