2 User’s Guide

Chapter 1: Overview

What’s in this chapter:

• Introduction

• Basic Operation

This chapter will give you a basic overview of your Magellan system. This chapter will cover Magellan’s light
indicators, keypads and remote controls. This chapter also includes sections explaining how to use this
guide and what the icons used mean.

Overview 3

Introduction

Magellan is the first security system to combine security with popular consumer features and a stylish design. Magellan looks different
than 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 central station will immediately be notified by phone. Choose from wireless
motion detectors that are immune to pets, door contacts, and remote controls that automate your most frequently used security functions.

With Magellan you have security and so much more:

• Built-in FM radio (page 25)

• Hands-free telephone (page 27)

Chapter 2: Arming / Disarming

What’s in this chapter:

•Arming

• Disarming

• Fire Alarms

• Panic Alarms

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 / Disarming 11

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 Central 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 8.

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:

menu next next ok ok next ok

press

System

Master code

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.

Exit delay

from 001 to

255 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:

tone

12 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 (i.e. doors
and windows) and ignoring interior zones (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:

User code

Instant Arming

This arming method is the same as Stay arming (page 13) except that the Entry Delay timer (see page 16) is ignored. Therefore, any
armed zone that is breached will immediately generate an alarm. To Instant arm your system:

Press &

User code

hold for

3 secs.

Force Arming

Force arming will ignore open zones to allow you to arm your system. However, once the zone is closed, your 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 (ignored) until you exit the area that it protects. 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 8).

Arming / Disarming 13

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. To bypass a zone:

zone or multiple zones are bypassed.

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 7 for the location of the
function keys. Table 1 below shows what function keys can be used for one-touch arming.
