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)
• Family message center (page 24)

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.
12 User Guide
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:
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.
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:

Arming / Disarming 13
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:
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:
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).

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:
Fire zones cannot be 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.

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 Auto-
arming feature:
No Movement Auto-Arming
Your system can be programmed to send a report to your Central 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.

16 User Guide
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.
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 16). 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
To disarm a system in alarm:
In the case of a burglar alarm, leave the premises immediately and call the Police from a safe location (i.e. neighbours).
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 8) on the LCD screen. The alarm memory display can be viewed in two ways:

Standard Fire Zones
During a fire alarm, the siren emits an intermittent sound (BEEP-BEEP-BEEP) until silenced or reset. If the zone is a Standard Fire
Zone, your system can immediately send an alert to your Central Monitoring Station. To disarm a false alarm:
Delayed Fire Zones
If the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone, there is an automatic delay before your system contacts your Central Monitoring Station. Refer to
Figure 3 on page 20 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 Central 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 chances of surviving a fire.
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.
22 User Guide
Panic Alarms
Your system can be programmed to send an alarm to your Central 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 from Magellan’s Main keypad. To
generate a panic alarm, simultaneously press and hold the key combinations displayed in Figure 4. Your installer can program the alarm
to be either silent or audible.

Access System Features by Phone
Due to Magellan’s voice-assisted remote features, any touch-tone telephone can be turned into a keypad. Arm/disarm Magellan,
activate/deactivate Magellan’s PGM outputs, record/listen to messages and even turn Magellan into a speakerphone all via your
telephone. Using detailed voice prompts to guide your way, remote access to your Magellan system is as easy as picking up the
telephone.
Please note the following:
• The following instructions pertain to entering commands and/or data through your telephone’s keypad. Therefore, whenever you are
instructed to perform an action and/or enter data, do so on your telephone’s keypad.
• Magellan will automatically hang up if no action is performed after 2 minutes.
• Press the [4] key at anytime to exit and have Magellan hang up.
• When Magellan is in speakerphone mode, key [16] from the center keypad will flash rapidly.
Step 1: Call Magellan from any touch-tone telephone
If there is no answering service or machine, simply pick up your telephone and dial the number of the telephone line that
your Magellan console is connected to (usually your home number). If the telephone line that Magellan is connected to is
shared with an answering service or answering machine, you have to override the answering service or machine. To
override the answering service or machine:
Step 2: Enter your user code
Use the same user code that you use with the Magellan console.

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.
