Overview 3
Introduction
Magellan is the first security system to combine security with popular consumer features and a stylish design. Magellan looks different
from anything else in the security industry. Install it anywhere in your home or small business–Magellan blends beautifully with any décor.
Listen to the radio, leave a message or use your system as a telephone, alarm clock or monitoring device.
Magellan consists of wireless detection devices installed at specific entry and exit points, as well as other vulnerable areas, such as
windows. These devices protect the premises and communicate with Magellan’s main console. If you have armed the system and a
device detects a breach, a siren will be activated and your monitoring station will immediately be notified by phone. Choose from wireless
motion detectors with pet immunity, door contacts, and remote controls that automate your most frequently used security functions.

Arming / Disarming 9
Chapter 2: Arming / Disarming
This chapter will cover the multiple arming methods that Magellan employs such as Regular arming and Stay arming. This chapter will
also cover disarming the system, what to do during a fire alarm, fire safety tips and panic alarms.
Arming
When your system is armed, it can respond to any breach in the protected zones by generating an alarm and by transmitting a report to
your monitoring station. Though the arming methods explained in this section pertain to arming through Magellan’s keypad, the system
can also be armed using your remote control. See Remote Controls on page 7.
Exit Delay Timer
When you arm your system, it will trigger the Exit Delay Timer to provide you with enough time to exit the protected area before your
system is armed. You can program the Exit Delay Timer from 1 second to 255 seconds (default 45 seconds). Only the System
Master user can program the Exit Delay Timer. To program the Exit Delay Timer:
If a Delay zone is opened and then closed while the system is in Exit Delay mode, the Exit Delay timer will be reduced to 10 seconds.
UL installations require a maximum exit delay of 60 seconds.
Regular Arming
This method is used for the everyday arming of your system. All
defined zones in the system must be closed (the green
READY
light
in ON) to Regular arm the system. To Regular arm your system:
System
Master code
Exit Delay from
001 to 255 secs.
Press

10 User Guide
Stay Arming
Stay arming will partially arm your system to permit you to remain
in your home by arming the outer zones of your system (e.g. doors
and windows) and ignoring interior zones (e.g. motion detectors).
All defined zones in the system must be closed (the green
READY
light is ON) to Stay arm the system. To Stay arm your system:
Instant Arming
This arming method is the same as Stay arming (page 10) except
that the Entry Delay Timer (see page 12) is ignored. Therefore,
any armed zone that is breached will immediately generate an
alarm. To Instant arm your system:
Force Arming
Force arming ignores open zones allowing you to arm your system. Once the zone closes, the system will then arm that zone as
well. This feature is useful when a motion detector is protecting the area where your Magellan console is located. During Force
arming, the motion detector will remain unarmed until you exit the area. The system will then arm the motion detector. By default,
your system is programmed with this feature. You can also Force arm your system using your remote control (see page 7).
Please note that Force arming is not permitted in UL installations.
Bypass Programming
You can bypass certain zones when you arm the system. When a
zone is bypassed, it will be ignored the next time you arm the
system. Once the system is disarmed, the system will “unbypass”
the zone. Zones that can be bypassed are defined by your
installer. Fire zones cannot be bypassed. To bypass a zone:

Arming / Disarming 11
One-Touch Arming
If enabled by your installer, you can arm your system with the following arming
methods simply by pressing and holding (for three seconds) the appropriate
function key. You do not have to enter your User code. See Figure 1 on page 6
for the location of the function keys. Table 1 shows what function keys can be
used for one-touch arming.
* To Instant arm your system using one-touch arming, press and hold the
[
STAY ARM
] key and then during Exit Delay mode, press and hold the [
STAY
ARM
] key once more.
Auto-Arming
You can set the time that the system will arm itself automatically. There are two methods of auto-arming:
Timed Auto-Arming
Your installer can set the Timed Auto-arming method to function in either Regular or Stay arming modes. A sixty-second Exit
Delay sequence will begin prior to your system automatically arming itself at the programmed time. To set the Timed Autoarming feature:
No Movement Auto-Arming
Your system can be programmed to send a report to your monitoring station and/or arm the system if there is no activity in the
system during a specified period of time. Your installer can set No Movement Auto-arming to function in either Regular or Stay
arming modes. Talk to your installer for more information.
Please note that Auto-arming is not permitted in UL installations

Disarming
When your system is disarmed, it deactivates any alarms in progress and it deactivates the zones so an alarm will not be triggered if
zones are breached.
Entry Delay Timer
Your installer will program designated entry points (i.e., the front door) with an Entry Delay timer. This delay gives you time to enter
the armed premises and enter your User code to disarm your system before the alarm is triggered. Up to two Entry Delay Timers can
be programmed in your Magellan console.
Please note that UL installations require a maximum entry delay of 45 seconds.
Programming the Entry Delay Timer
Program the Entry Delay Timer with a value that will give you ample time to disarm your system before the alarm is triggered.
Only the System Master user can program the Entry Delay Timer. To program the timer:
Disarming an Armed System
When an entry point, like the front door, is opened, Magellan will
produce a sound indicating that the system has started the Entry
Delay timer (page 12). If a valid User code is entered before the
Entry Delay timer elapses, your system will disarm and will not
generate an alarm. To disarm an armed system:

Disarming a System in Alarm
Alarm Memory Display
When an alarm has occurred in your system, the Magellan console will store that alarm in its alarm memory. All zones where alarms
have occurred will be stored in the alarm memory. The system will erase the contents of the alarm memory every time the system is
armed. The Magellan console will indicate that there is an alarm in memory by illuminating the light and by displaying the
information symbol (see page 7) on the LCD screen. The alarm memory display can be viewed in two ways:
Through the Alarm Memory Menu

Fire Alarms
For complete coverage in residential units, smoke detectors should be installed in the following locations:
• In any hallway outside bedroom areas. Additional detectors should be installed for every bedroom area as shown in Figure 2 on page 14.
• On every floor of a multi-floor home or apartment.
• At both ends of a bedroom hallway if the hallway is more than 12m (40ft) long.
• At the bottom of a basement stairwell.
• At the top of the first to second floor stairwell and subsequent stairwells in multi-floored residential units.

before your system contacts your monitoring station. Refer to
Figure 3 on page 16 to prevent unnecessary reporting of false
alarms. To clear a fire alarm triggered by accident:
If you are unable to cancel the false alarm, your system will send
an alert. Call your monitoring station to advise them of the false alarm.
Fire Safety Tips
How should you prepare in case of a fire in your home or business?
• Remind everyone to escape first, and then call for help.
• Develop a fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside.
• Practice the escape plan frequently.
• Plan two ways to escape from every room, if possible.
• Practice feeling the way out with eyes closed.
• Instruct everyone never to stand up during a fire. Always crawl under the smoke and keep mouths covered.
• Instruct everyone never to return to a burning building for any reason; it may cost them their life.
• Check smoke detectors regularly. Working smoke detectors dramatically increase everyone's chance of surviving a fire.

16 User Guide
Minimizing Home Fire Hazards
How can you avoid the three most common causes of fires at home?
• Never leave cooking food unattended. It is the leading cause of
fire injuries. Cooking fires often result from unattended cooking
and human error, rather than mechanical failure.
• Stay alert when smoking. Careless smoking is the leading cause
of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smoulder-resistant bedding
and upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents.
• Maintain your heating system. Faulty heating systems are the
second leading cause of residential fires.
Panic Alarms
Your system can be programmed to send an alarm to your monitoring
station to request help from the police, a medical facility*, the fire
department or anyone you wish when you press a pre-determined
combination of keys on Magellan’s main keypad. To generate a panic
alarm, simultaneously press and hold the key combinations displayed in
Figure 4 on page 17. Your installer can program the alarm to be either
silent or audible.
* Programming your system to send an alarm to your Central Monitoring
Station requesting help from a medical facility is not permitted in UL
installations.

Chapter 5: Advanced Features
This chapter pertains to features and functions that only the System Master user can access.
This chapter covers User code programming, such as programming new users into the system. This chapter also covers some zone
features as well as instructions on how to customize Magellan to suit your needs.
Programming User Codes
User codes allow access to the system. Magellan supports up to 16 User codes where:
• Every user from 002 to 016 is assigned a User code (user 001 is the System Master).
• Your installer can program User codes to be four or six digits in length.
• Each digit can be any value from 0 to 9.
To create or modify a user:
System Master Code (default: 1234)
The System Master code will give you access to all of the features available on your system as well as the ability to add, modify, or
delete any users.

It is recommended that you change the default System Master code to a code of your choosing. This will prevent unauthorized users from
accessing and modifying options.
Duress User Code
If enabled by your installer, User code 016 can be programmed as a Duress code. If you are forced to arm or disarm your system,
entering the user code for User 016 will arm or disarm your system and immediately transmit a silent alarm (Duress code) to your
monitoring station.
Deleting a User
When you delete a user, the remote control that is assigned to that user will also be deleted. To delete an existing user:

Voice Reporting
Use the Magellan console to call you (or someone you choose) on up to two different telephone numbers and play a personalized voice
message (maximum 20 seconds in length) to announce that an alarm has occurred. After receiving the message, press the [#] key on
the telephone twice to acknowledge and end the message. The unit will call eight times (switching between both numbers) or until
someone acknowledges the message. Press the [1] key on the telephone to use the speakerphone feature and to talk through the
Magellan console. To program the Magellan console for voice reporting:
Example: You programmed Magellan’s Voice Reporting feature to call your cellular phone and play your recorded message, “There is an alarm occurring
at home.” Therefore, whenever an alarm occurs, Magellan will call you on your cellular phone and you will hear “There is an alarm occurring at home”.
Press the [#] key on your cellular phone to acknowledge the message.

Utility Reporting
Customize which events and when these events will be reported to you by using the Utility Reporting menu. Program from one of four
report types to have the Magellan console call you when certain conditions are met. With this feature programmed, Magellan will call up
to two separate telephone numbers and play a personalized pre-recorded voice message. After receiving the message, press the [#] key
on the telephone twice to acknowledge and end the message. Press the [1] key on the telephone to use the speakerphone feature and
to talk through the Magellan console. To program the Utility Reporting feature:
Report Types
There are four report types that can be used with Utility reporting:
• Disarm with user: Use this report type to program the Magellan console to call you when specific users disarm the system. After
entering the menu, select the desired user(s) that you wish reported. This feature is useful when you wish to know when specific
people disarm the system.
For example, you can program Magellan to call you whenever your children disarm your system thus informing you that they
have arrived home.
• System troubles: Use this report type to have the Magellan console call you when specific troubles occur. After entering the
menu, select the desired trouble(s) you wish to be notified about. This feature can be used to inform you of a power failure.
• Non-medical Emergency alarm: Use this report type to have the Magellan console call you when specific users require nonmedical emergency assistance. When the programmed users press the appropriate key on their remote controls (see Remote

Controls on page 7), the Magellan console will make a buzzing sound and then call one or both programmed telephone
numbers. After entering the menu, select the desired user(s) that you wish reported. For example, if there is an elderly parent
who lives in your home, you can program Magellan to call you whenever they require assistance. All they have to do is press the
appropriate button on their remote control.
One of the user’s remote control buttons must be programmed with the Non-medical Emergency alarm option in order for the Nonmedical Emergency alarm to function. Talk to your installer about this feature.
• Zone activation: When a specified zone is breached or opened, the Magellan console will call one or both of the programmed
telephone numbers. After entering this menu, select the desired zones you wish affected. Use this feature to be informed when a
specific zone is breached. For example, if you have a gun closet at home, you can have Magellan call you whenever the gun
closet is opened or breached.

Warranty
Paradox Security Systems Ltd. ("Seller") warrants its products to be free from manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for one-year following the date of manufacture. Seller will, within this
period, at its option, repair or replace any product failing to operate correctly without charge to the original purchaser or user. This warranty will not apply to any equipment, or any parts thereof, which have
been repaired by others, improperly installed, improperly used, abused, altered, damaged, subjected to acts of God, or on which any serial numbers have been altered, defaced or removed. Seller will not
be responsible for any dismantling or reinstallation charges.
THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION HEREIN. THERE IS NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR A WARRANTY OF
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON THE PART OF SELLER, ITS SUPPLIERS AND/OR AFFILIATES.
Any action for breach of warranty, including but not limited to any implied warranty of merchantability, must be brought within three months following the end of the warranty period. IN NO CASE WILL
SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE SELLER'S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT.
In case of defect, contact the security professional who installed and maintains your security system. In order to exercise the warranty, the product must be returned to the indicated RMA location by the
security professional, shipping costs prepaid and insured. After repair or replacement, Seller assumes the cost of returning products under warranty. Seller will have no obligation under this warranty, or
otherwise, if the product has been repaired by others, improperly installed, improperly used, abused, altered, damaged, subjected to accident, nuisance, flood, fire or acts of God, or on which any serial
numbers have been altered, defaced or removed. Seller will not be responsible for any dismantling, reassembly or reinstallation charges.
This warranty contains the entire warranty. Any prior agreements or representations, whether oral or written, are either merged herein or are expressly cancelled. Seller neither assumes, nor authorizes any
other person purporting to act on its behalf to modify, to change, or to assume for it, any other warranty or liability concerning its products.
Notwithstanding anything herein, in no event shall Seller or its affiliates be liable for an amount in excess of Seller's original selling price of the product, for any loss or damage, whether direct, indirect,
incidental, consequential or otherwise arising out of any failure of the product. Seller's warranty, as hereinabove set forth, shall not be enlarged, diminished or affected by and no obligation or liability shall
arise from Seller offering to render or rendering technical advice or services in connection with the purchase of goods hereunder.
SELLER STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM BE COMPLETELY TESTED MONTHLY.
Warning: Despite frequent testing, and due to, but not limited to, any or all of the following: criminal tampering, electrical or communication disruption, or improper use, it is possible for the system to fail to
perform as expected. Seller does not represent that the product/system may not be compromised or circumvented or that the product or system will prevent any personal injury or property loss by burglary,
robbery, fire or otherwise; nor that the product or system will in all cases provide adequate warning or protection. A properly installed and maintained alarm may only reduce risk of burglary, robbery, fire or
otherwise but it is not insurance or a guarantee that these events will not occur. CONSEQUENTLY, SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR
OTHER LOSS BASED ON A CLAIM THE PRODUCT FAILED TO GIVE WARNING. Therefore, the installer should in turn advise the consumer to take any and all precautions for his or her safety including,
but not limited to, fleeing the premises and calling 911, the police and/or fire department, in order to mitigate the possibilities of harm and/or damage.
Seller is not an insurer of either the property or safety of the user's family or employees, and limits its liability for any loss or damage including incidental or consequential damages to Seller's original selling
price of the product in question, regardless of the cause of such loss and/or damage.
Some locations do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or differentiate in their treatment of limitations
of liabilities for ordinary or gross negligence, therefore the above limitations may be reduced and/or not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have additional rights
depending on the location.
