Introduction
About Magellan and this Manual
Magellan is designed for fast and easy installation. Simply
remove it from the box, mount the console and wireless
transmitters, apply power, perform some basic programming and
Magellan is ready to protect your home.
Some of Magellan’s features can be programmed through a quick
Installer menu (menu programming) or through section
programming. Use the quick setup chapter (see page 4) to install
the Magellan console quickly with the basic programming
required for a standard security application. All other chapters
(pages 7 to 38) are for advanced section programming. These
other chapters provide more in-depth and precise information if
more advanced programming is required.
We recommend that you read this entire manual before you begin
your installation.

Line Plug Connect
The Magellan console can also be connected to a telephone line
via its on-board
information on connecting the telephone line using this method.
When connecting via the LINE plug, if the telephone line is
shared and it is busy (i.e. someone is talking on the
telephone) the console will be unable to communicate wit h
the Monitoring Station. It is recommended that the Direct
Connect method (see page 8) be used to connect the
telephone line.

For UL compliant installations, the Magellan console must
be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in a nonmedical emergency situation. It must be able to do this
even if other equipment (telephones, answering machines,
computer modems, etc.) already has the line in use. To do
so, the Magellan console must be connected to a properly
installed RJ31X jack that is in series with and ahead of all
other equipment attached to the same telephone line.
Proper installation is depicted in the diagram below. If you
have any questions concerning these instructions, you
should consult your telephone company about installing
the RJ31X jack and the Magellan console for you.
Programmable Outputs (PGMs)
Magellan comes equipped with one 100mA solid-state PGM
output and one low powered open-collector; Max. handling
current 50mA. When a specific event occurs in the system, a
PGM can be programmed to activate lights, garage door
openers, etc. See Programmable Outputs on page 34 for more
information on programming PGMs.
Connect Magellan’s PGM outputs as shown in Method 1 in
Figure 7 on page 9. Since Magellan does not come with a power
supply, an external power supply must be employed to power the
circuit. The PGM outputs can be either Normally Open (N.O.) or
8 Reference & Installation Manual
Normally Closed (N.C.) as detailed in PGM Normal State
(Onboard Only) on page 35.
If the current draw on the PGMs is to exceed 100mA, we
recommend using an external relay as shown in Method 2 in
Figure 7 on page 9. For connecting PGM2, see Figure 8.
Using Method 2, connect the device to the output terminal of the
external relay that matches the normal state of Magellan’s PGM
output. For example, if PGM1’s normal state is Normally Open
(N.O.), connect the device to the
N.O. terminal of the external
relay.

Hardwire Zone Connections
Magellan comes with two on-board hardwire zones. You can
connect hardwire detection devices such as door contacts to
Magellan’s zone terminals. Connect the detection devices as
shown in Figure 9 on page 9. Please note the following:
• Section [095] options [1] and [2] must be enabled in order to
use the two on-board hardwire zones. See Zones 31 and 32
Become Hardwire Zones on page 18 for more information.
• After connecting the detection devices, the zones must be
defined. See Zone Programming on page 15 for more
information.
• The hardwire zones follow the console’s EOL and tamper
definitions.
Though any hardwire detection device can be connected to
Magellan’s on-board hardwire zone inputs, it is recommended
that only devices that do not require a power source (i.e.,
standard door contacts) be connected. Since Magellan has no
power supply, an external power supply would have to be
connected in order to power hardwire detection devices that do
require a power source.

Location
The locations of Magellan and its wireless transmitters affect the
overall performance of the wireless system. To ensure the best
signal reception, the following list of location criteria should be
respected whenever possible:
• Select an installation site that is free of obstacles that reflect
and absorb radio frequency (RF) signals, as well as
interference that may distort signals. Avoid installation near
or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e., neon lights,
computers), and on or near metal objects, circuit breaker
boxes, air conditioners and heater ducts since they may
cause interference and reduce the console’s sensitivity.
• Select a site that is not susceptible to drastic temperature
changes.
• Mount the Magellan console as central as possible to the
proposed placement of the wireless transmitters.
• Mount the Magellan console as high as possible.
• Avoid installing Magellan in the basement as the range of
the console is reduced when installed below ground level.
However, if it is absolutely necessary to install the console in
the basement, install the console as high as possible.
• Install the Magellan console on a wall allowing at least 5cm
(2”) around the console to permit adequate ventilation and
heat dissipation.
The Wall Plate
Magellan uses a plastic wall plate to stay mounted on a wall. The
wall plate is also used for tabletop mounting to cover the back of
the console as well as keep any wires within their respective wire
slots. After choosing an appropriate location (see Location on
page 11), mount the wall plate onto the Magellan console with
two screws as described in Mounting Magellan on the Wall on
page 11 or Tabletop Mounting on page 12.

Mounting Magellan on the Wall
Magellan can be mounted on a wall by first securing the wall
plate (see The Wall Plate on page 11) to the wall and then
mounting the Magellan console on the secured wall plate as
shown in Figure 15 on page 11 and Figure 16 on page 11. To do
so:
1. Place the wall plate on the desired spot of the wall.
2. Drill and insert screws into holes labeled A as shown in
Figure 14 on page 11.
3. Place the console back plate flush against the mounted wall
plate.
Paradox Magellan Systems 11
4. Slide the Magellan’s open slots labeled D (see Figure 16 on
page 11) onto the wall plate’s tabs labeled B (see Figure 15
on page 11).
5. Gently apply downward pressure to insert the wall plate’s
tabs into Magellan’s open slots.
6. Insert two screws through the wall plate’s screw holes
labeled C and into holes labeled E (see Figure 15 on page 1 1
and Figure 16 on page 11) in the Magellan back plate. This
will secure the console to the wall.
Tabletop Mounting
Magellan can also be mounted on a tabletop. This is a useful
convenience that allows Magellan to be situated on a nightstand,
desk, kitchen counter, etc. Included with Magellan are two plastic
feet as well as two rubber stops. The plastic feet raise the
Magellan console to a slight angle for easy viewing while the
rubber stops prevent the console from sliding when Magellan is
being used. To do so:
1. Place the console back plate flush against the wall plate.
2. Slide the Magellan’s open slots labeled D (see Figure 16 on
page 11) onto the wall plate’s tabs labeled B (see Figure 15
on page 11).
3. Gently apply downward pressure to insert the wall plate’s
tabs into Magellan’s open slots.
4. Insert two screws through the wall plate’s screw holes
labeled C and into holes labeled E (see Figure 16 on page
11) in the Magellan back plate.

Programming Methods
WinLoad Installer Upload/Download Software
Program the Magellan console remotely or on-site using the
WinLoad Installer Upload/Download Software for Windows®. For
more information, contact your local Paradox Distributor or visit
our Web site at paradox.com. If you are using the WinLoad
software, you must program the features explained on page 38.
Please refer to WinLoad’s Online Help for more
information on using WinLoad.
Programming Using the Built-in Keypad
Use the built-in keypad to access Magellan’s programming
mode.
Use the supplied Magellan Programming Guide to keep
track of which sections were programmed and how.
To access programming mode:
1. Press and hold the [0] key.
2. Enter your [
3. Enter the 3-digit [SECTION] you wish to program.
4. Enter the required [DATA].
There are two methods that can be used to enter data when in
programming mode: Single Digit Data Entry and Feature Select
Programming.
Single Digit Data Entry Method
After entering programming mode, some sections will require
that you enter decimal values from 000 to 255. Other sections
will require that you enter hexadecimal values from 0 to F. The
required data will be clearly indicated in this manual as well as in
the Magellan Programming Guide. When entering the final digit
in a section, Magellan will automatically save and advance to the
next section. Table 1 (see below) shows the keys and their
equivalent decimal and/or hexadecimal value.

Feature Select Programming Method
After entering certain sections, eight options will be displayed
whereby each option from [1] to [8] represents a specific feature
or option. To manipulate the options:
• Press the key corresponding to the desired option and the
option number will appear in the LCD display. This means
the option is ON. Press the key again to remove the digit
from the LCD display, thereby, turning OFF the option.
• Press the [*] key to set all eight options to OFF. Press the
keys until the current section’s options are set. When the
options are set, press the [#] key to save and advance to the
next section.
• Press the [*] key twice to exit without changing any data.
Programming Using a Paradox Memory Key
The Paradox Memory Keys (PMC-3) are very useful when
multiple Magellan consoles are to be programmed identically.
Rather then programming each console by entering its
programming mode and then scrolling through programming
sections, use a memory key to program each console. The
programming of a console with a memory key takes
approximately three seconds.
There are two actions that can be performed with a memory key.
Download Data to Destination Console
To download the data of a memory key into a console:
1. Remove power from the Magellan console (AC and battery)
and connect the memory key to the 5-pin connector on the
left side of the back of the console (see Figure 13 on page
11).
2. Re-apply both AC and battery power to the console.
3. Press the [
data from the memory key.
Copy Data to Memory Key from Source Console
To copy the contents of a console into the memory key.
1. Remove power from the Magellan console (AC and battery)
and connect the memory key to the 5-pin connector on the
left side of the back of the console (see Figure 13 on page
11).
2. Re-apply both AC and battery power to the console.
3. Press the [

User Codes
A person must be assigned to a User code in order to have
access to Magellan. A User code defines the extent of a user’s
access to the system and consists of a code # (PIN) and user
options. Magellan supports one Installer code, one Maintenance
code and up to 16 User codes (one System Master code and 15
User codes).

Provides access to the following Magellan
user features: language, voice and utility
reporting, delays and tones, zone labels,
system tests. Arm and disarm using any
method as well as program User codes.
Can arm and disarm the system.
User Code Length
Section [090]: Option [1]
Option [1] OFF = 6-digit User codes
Option [1] ON = 4-digit User codes (default)
All User codes can be set to lengths of either 4 or 6 digits. When
the 4-digit option is selected, entering a 4-digit code will allow
access. Using the 6-digit option, entering 6 digits is required to
allow access.
If the User code length is changed from 4 digits to 6 digits
when User codes have already been programmed, the
console will automatically add the last 2 digits by using the
first 2 digits. For example, if the Access code is 1234 and
you switch to 6 digits, the code will become 123412. Be
sure to verify the Access codes after switching from 4-digit
to 6-digit Access codes. When switching from 6 digits to 4
digits, the console will simply remove the final 2 digits of
the Access code. For example, 123456 will become 1234.
Maintenance Code
Section [182]; Default = 111111
The Maintenance code is similar to the Installer code. It can be
used to enter the console’s programming mode (see
Programming Using the Built-in Keypad on page 13), which
allows you to program all features, options and commands
for the console’s communication settings (sections [108]
except
to [112] and [180] to [182]) as well as any User code. The
Maintenance code can be 4 or 6 digits in length (see User Code
Length on page 14). Each digit can be any value from 0 to 9.
To change the Maintenance code:
1. Access the installer programming mode (see page 13).
2. Enter section [182].
3. Enter a new [4-
OR 6-DIGIT MAINTENANCE CODE].
OR
1. Press [MENU] + [4] + [INSTALLER CODE] + [8] + [NEW CODE].
System Master Code
With the System Master code a user can use any arming method
and can program any user’s (from 1 to 16) Access code. The
System Master code can be 4 or 6 digits in length (see User
Code Length on page 14), where each digit can be any digit from
0 to 9. The System Master code cannot be changed by the
Installer or Maintenance code, but it can be reset to default.
Lock System Master Code
Section [090]: Option [3]
Option [3] OFF = System Master code unlocked (default)
Option [3] ON = System Master code locked
With section [090] option [3] enabled, the System Master code
can only be changed or deleted through WinLoad or a power
down reset.
Reset System Master Code
Installer Code
Section [181]; Default = 000000
The Installer code is used to enter the console's programming
mode (see Programming Using the Built-in Keypad on page 13),
which allows you to program all the features, options and
commands of the Magellan console. The Installer code can be 4
or 6 digits in length (see User Code Length on page 14) where
each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. The Installer code
cannot be used to program any User code.
To change the Installer code:
1. Access the installer programming mode (see page 13).
2. Enter section [181].
3. Enter a new [4-

Enter section [200] to reset the System Master code to default
(1234/123456).
Make sure that the Lock System Master Code feature (section
[090] option [3]) is disabled.
Duress Code
Section [090]: Option [4]
Option [4] OFF = Duress code disabled (default)
Option [4] ON = User code 016 becomes a Duress code
With this feature enabled, User code 016 becomes a Duress
code. When forced to arm or disarm their system, users can
enter a Duress code (User code 016) to arm or disarm the system
which can immediately transmit a silent alert to the Monitoring
Station, transmittin g the Duress report code programme d in
section [148] (see page 28).
