ABOUT INSTALLING GALAXY HARDWARE

This section highlights the requirements of installing the hardware that are specific to Aperio integration. 

You must properly install the Controller (using a 635 CPU board and 635 DSI board) according to the instructions in the 635 Hardware Guide.

 

THE GALAXY HARDWARE PANEL & CPU

  • 635-series Controller (access control panel)

  1. 635 CPU Board - with v5.0 S28 flash code (or higher)

  2. 635 DSI Board - with v5.0 flash (or higher) using the RS-485 port / section

    Supports up to 16 HUBS per RS-485 section/port with two 485-sections per board.

    Supports up to 16 doors per RS-485 section/port with two 485-sections per board.

  3. 600 DIO Board with v5.0 flash (or higher) (board is optional/only used if door alarms will trigger outputs)

  • When you install the Galaxy panel, you must configure the 635 CPU with a compatible network address and related parameters.  Each controller must have a unique unit number on the Loop/Cluster to which it is assigned. 

    When installing and configuring a 635-CPU, you will need:

    1. the PC/Laptop must be connected to the same Ethernet segment as the 635 CPU and daughter boards, in order to configure them over the Ethernet.

    2. the PC/Laptop must use the 635 Web Config Tool  to auto-detect all 635 CPUs that are physically connected to the same Ethernet segment, based on the MAC address

 

 

  • You can find detailed install instructions in the Galaxy 635/600 Hardware Guide, located on the install DVD-1, is installed with the software on the main communication server or Galaxy Online Help. Click on the Support link on the left side menu, then click Technical Support; then locate the Documentation at the bottom of the Tech Support page.

 

 

 

WIRING APERIO HUBS TO GALAXY DSI-BOARD

A 485 DSI board can have up to 16 doors on each RS-485 Section.  There are two (2) RS-485 channels on a DSI board. Multiple HUBS can be connected in a daisy-chain fashion to the DSI 485-channel in order to provide RF coverage to all doors.  An AH30 Hub can connect to up to 8 doors.  You can add up to 15 Hubs if needed.

IMPORTANT NOTES    

  • You must install wire jumpers on the DSI 485-channels [ T – to R – ] and [ T + to R + ]

  • You must wire T+ to terminal A of the Hub, and T- to terminal B of the Hub.

  • You must ground the drain-wire of the cable only one end. 

  • Configure a unique and valid Binary address for the Hub on the 485-channel using the dipswitch.  See the Binary Dipswitch Addressing Chart on next page for assistance with numbering.

  • The AH30 HUB unit should be powered on its own (separate) power supply.

ADDRESSING THE APERIO HUB

You can support up to 15 Hubs on each DSI 485-channel and up to 8 doors per AH30 Hub.

IMPORTANT NOTES    

  • Configure a unique/valid address for each Hub using the Binary dipswitch on back of hub. 

  • Addresses 1 thru 15 are valid to Galaxy (Zero or all OFF will disable the hub).

  • You must “pair” the readers to the Hubs using the Aperio Programming Software.  See the next section for details.
