Galaxy G2 with Touchcenter Keypad

[Foxglove]

Hi All

 

I have a query about the extent of compatibility of the Touchcenter keypad when connected to a Galaxy G2-20 panel.

 

I purchased the Touchcenter with some ignorance not aware that I would not be able to unlock all the slick features as it really is a Galaxy Dimension component.

 

It seems that the only function available to me on the Touchcenter is the emulated MK7 keypad (which works fine).

 

What is a little irritating is the incorrect date and time displayed on the home screen (shown before I press the MK7 keypad icon). Of course, the emulated display shows the correct date and time.

 

Has anybody worked out a way to set the correct date and time on the home screen when using a Galaxy G2 or enabled any other features.

 

I suspect the answer is no!

 

Thank you.

Doesn't it allow you i to the touch centre setup?

Hi Al-Yeti,

 

The Touchcenter wants an access code to enter setup. The factory default codes or subsequently changed system engineer and user-master codes do not work for this access code.

 

Think I'm stuck with the wrong time and date.

 

Thanks.

never put one on anything but a dimension sorry

Functionality on the G2 is limited to the emulated keypad only.  Only flex and dimension will communicate with the other features.  You can always use a metal cased flex, which is the same size as the G2.

Great suggestion

It seems the Flex 20 with small metal box [ product C005-S-E1 ] is what I need to get and the conversion cost seems pretty low.

 

The only question remaining - is it worth moving from a well regarded solid G2-20 to a Flex-20 (on the basis that I am happy with the cost to replace the panel and the small investment in time)? How do installers regard the Flex range?

 

Thanks
