Installation
AC Power
Magellan requires a 12Vac (1A) or 16.5Vac (1A) transformer (not
included) to supply power to the console. Connect the
transformer to the AC terminals as shown in Figure 1 on page 7.
Magellan can also be powered through a DC power supply.
Connect a 12Vdc to 18Vdc (1A) power supply to the AC
terminals to power the console. The alternate DC power supply
is not for use in UL installations.
Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.
Figure 1: Connecting the Transformer
DC Power
Magellan can also be powered through a DC power supply.
Connect a 12Vdc to 18Vdc (1A) power supply to the AC terminals
to power the console. Connect the transformer to the AC
terminals as shown in Figure 2 on page 7.
Figure 2: Connecting the DC Power Supply
Backup Battery Pack
Magellan uses a backup battery pack to provide power during a
power loss. A 7.2Vdc 1.8Ah NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
rechargeable battery pack is included with the Magellan console.
Connect the battery pack as shown in Figure 3 on page 7.
Connect the backup battery pack after applying AC power.
Figure 3: Connecting the Backup Battery
To order a battery pack, the battery pack’s part number is:
Paradox# 0780100178.
The backup battery can support Magellan during an AC failure
for 24 hours when in standby mode.
Auxiliary Output
The auxiliary power supply terminals can be used to power
motion detectors. The combined current consumption of devices
connected to the auxiliary power supply should not exceed
200mA. If the auxiliary output is overloaded and is shut down,
you must disconnect all loads from the output for at least 10
seconds before reconnecting any load back to the auxiliary
output.

Figure 4: Auxiliary Output Connection
Telephone Line Connections
The Magellan console can be connected to a telephone line by
connecting the telephone company’s wires directly to Magellan’s
dialer or by connecting a standard 4-pin RJ-11 cable between the
LINE plug of the console to a standard telephone wall jack.
Direct Connect
Connect the telephone line through a RJ31X jack as shown in
Figure 5 on page 8.
Figure 5: Telephone Line Direct Connect
For UL compliant installations, the Magellan console must
be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in a non-
medical 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.
Line Plug Connect
The Magellan console can also be connected to a telephone line
via its on-board LINE plug. See Figure 6 on page 8 for more
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 with
the Monitoring Station. It is recommended that the Direct
Connect method (see page 8) be used to connect the
telephone line.
Figure 6: Line Plug Connection
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
Insert the device’s wires into the
AUX AND C terminals.
Devices
such as a
light, etc.
To connect the telephone line:
1. Connect a RJ31X to the R-
1, T-1, RING and TIP
terminals as shown at right.
2. Connect the telephone
company wires and the
home telephone to the
RJ31X.

Paradox Magellan Systems 9
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.
Figure 7: PGM1 Connections
Figure 8: PGM2 Connections
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 and Mounting
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.
Figure 14: Wall Plate
Figure 15: Mounting Magellan onto the Wall Plate
Figure 16: Magellan’s Back Plate
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.

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 11
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.
5. Attach the plastic feet and rubber stops as shown in Figure
17 on page 12.

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 [INSTALLER CODE] or [MAINTENANCE CODE].
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.
Table 1: Decimal and Hexadecimal Values
* CK = Center keypad
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 [OK] key and Magellan will begin downloading 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 [NEXT] key and then the [OK] key. Magellan will
begin copying its data into the memory key.
The Installer code of the Magellan console used to
download data to the memory key must be the same
Installer code programmed in the Magellan console that is
to download the contents from the same memory key. If the
Installer codes do not match, the contents of the memory
key cannot be downloaded into the receiving console.
Example: The contents of the Magellan console A will be
copied into memory key B. The Installer code for console A
is 111111. In order to download the contents of memory key
B into the Magellan console C, the Installer code
programmed in console C must also be 111111.

14 Reference & Installation Manual
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).
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.
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- OR 6-DIGIT INSTALLER CODE].
OR
1. Press [MENU] + [4] + [INSTALLER CODE] + [8] + [NEW CODE].
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
except for the console’s communication settings (sections [108]
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
Section [200]
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, transmitting the Duress report code programmed in
section [148] (see page 28).
Installer Code Used to program all console settings
except User codes and remote controls.
Maintenance Code Identical to the Installer code except that
the code cannot program some
communication settings.
System Master Code
User Code 001 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.
15 User Codes
User Codes 002 to 016 Can arm and disarm the system.
Paradox Magellan Systems 15
Zone Programming
Magellan supports up to 32 wireless zones whereby each zone
can be configured with a different zone definition and option.
Each zone can also have a voice label recorded for it. Magellan’s
zones can be programmed using section programming or
through the Installer menu.
See Quick Setup on page 4 for more information on zone
programming using the Installer menu.
Zone Programming Overview
After assigning and setting up your wireless transmitters, define
the associated zone's parameters. The zone parameters define
the type of zone and how the control panel will react when an
alarm condition occurs on that zone. These zone parameters are
programmed into one section as detailed in Figure 19 on page
15.
Figure 19: Magellan Zone Programming Overview
Zone Definitions
Sections [001] to [032] represent zones 1 through 32
respectively, whereby the first three digits in each of these
sections represents the zone's definition. To disable a zone,
enter 000 and then press the [#] key. There are 15 available
Zone Definitions, which are described as follows:
Entry Delay 1
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 001
When the system is armed and a zone defined with Entry Delay
1 opens, the console will generate an alarm after the
programmed Entry Delay 1 Timer elapses. This is to provide
users with enough time to enter the protected area and disarm
the system. Entry Delay zones are commonly used at the entry/
exit points of the protected area (i.e., front/back door, garage,
etc.). Using different Entry Delays (see Entry Delay 2 below) is
useful when, for example, one entry point requires a longer delay
than another entry point.
Entry Delay 1 Timer
Section [060]: 001 to 255 seconds; 000 = Disabled; Default
= 45 seconds
Enter the desired 3-digit delay value from 000 to 255
seconds into section [060] to program the Entry Delay 1
Timer.
Entry Delay 2
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 002
Entry Delay 2 zones are identical to the Entry Delay 1 zones (see
Entry Delay 1 on page 15), except it uses a separate Entry Delay
Timer.
Entry Delay 2 Timer
Section [061]: 001 to 255 seconds; 000 = Disabled; Default
= 45 seconds
Enter the desired 3-digit delay value from 000 to 255
seconds into section [061] to program the Entry Delay 2
Timer.
Follow Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 003
When an armed Follow zone opens, the console will immediately
generate an alarm unless an Entry Delay zone opens first as
described in the situations below:
• If an armed Follow zone opens after an Entry Delay zone
opens, the console waits until the Entry Delay Timer has
elapsed before generating an alarm.
• If an armed Follow zone opens after more than one Entry
Delay zone opens, the console will wait until the Entry Delay
Timer of the zone that opened first has elapsed.
This feature is commonly used when a motion detector is
protecting the area occupied by the entry point keypad. This will
prevent the motion detector from causing an alarm when a user
enters through the entry point to disarm the system.

16 Reference & Installation Manual
Follow/Stay Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 004
Follow/Stay zones function as follows:
• All zones defined as Follow/Stay zones become Follow
zones (refer to Follow Zones on page 15) when the
Magellan system is Regular armed.
• All zones defined as Follow/Stay zones become Stay zones
when the Magellan system is Stay or Instant armed.
Instant Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 005
When an armed Instant zone opens, the console immediately
generates an alarm. Instant zones are commonly used for
windows, patio doors, skylights and other perimeter type zones.
Instant/Stay Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 006
Instant/Stay zones function as follows:
• All zones defined as Instant/Stay zones become Instant
zones (refer to Instant Zones on page 16) when the
Magellan system is Regular armed.
• All zones defined as Instant/Stay zones become Stay zones
when the Magellan system is Stay or Instant armed.
Standard 24Hr. Fire Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 007
Whenever a Standard 24Hr. Fire zone opens, whether it is armed
or disarmed, the console will generate the following:
• The console can send the corresponding Alarm Report
Code from sections [131] to [138].
• Alarms are always audible regardless of other settings. Fire
alarms generate an intermittent (pulsed) bell/siren output
signal as shown in Figure 20 on page 16.
Figure 20: Bell/Siren Output during a Fire Alarm
Delayed Fire Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 008
When a Delayed 24Hr. Fire zone opens, whether it is armed or
disarmed, the console will react as shown in Figure 21 on page
16. Delayed 24Hr. Fire zones are commonly used in residential
homes where a smoke detector often generates false alarms
(i.e., burning bread, etc.).
This feature is not for use in UL installations.
Figure 21: Delayed Fire Zone
24Hr. Burglary Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 009
Whenever a 24Hr. Burglary zone opens, whether the system is
armed or disarmed, the console will immediately generate an
alarm.
24Hr. Hold-up Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 010
When a 24Hr. Hold-up zone opens, whether it is armed or
disarmed, the console will immediately generate an alarm. The
SIA FSK reporting format includes specific report codes to
identify the alarm as a Hold-up alarm (see Appendix 1:
Automatic Report Code List on page 39).
24Hr. Buzzer Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 011
This zone definition is particularly useful when a user wishes to
be notified when something such as a safe or locker within the
home has been accessed (i.e., a child accessing a valuable
collection). This zone definition functions as follows:
• Whenever a 24Hr. Buzzer zone opens, whether the console
is armed or disarmed, the console sets off the keypad’s
buzzer to indicate that the zone was breached.
• The console will report the alarm, but will not enable the bell/
siren output.
• Enter any valid Access code on the keypad to stop the
buzzer.
Paradox Magellan Systems 17
24Hr. Gas Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 012
When a 24Hr. Gas zone opens, whether it is armed or disarmed,
the console will immediately generate an alarm. The SIA FSK
reporting format includes specific report codes to identify the
alarm as a Gas alarm (see Appendix 1: Automatic Report Code
List on page 39).
24Hr. Heat Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 013
When a 24Hr. Heat zone opens, whether it is armed or disarmed,

alarm as a Heat alarm (see Appendix 1: Automatic Report Code
List on page 39).
24Hr. Water Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 014
When a 24Hr. Water zone opens, whether it is armed or
disarmed, the console will immediately generate an alarm. The
SIA FSK reporting format includes specific report codes to
identify the alarm as a Water alarm (see Appendix 1: Automatic
Report Code List on page 39).
24Hr. Freeze Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 015
When a 24Hr. Freeze zone opens, whether it is armed or
disarmed, the console will immediately generate an alarm. The
SIA FSK reporting format includes specific report codes to
identify the alarm as a Freeze alarm (see Appendix 1: Automatic
Report Code List on page 39).
Zone Options
Sections [001] to [032] represent zones 1 through 32
respectively as demonstrated in Figure 19 on page 15. After
entering the 3-digit Zone Definition (see Zone Definitions on
page 15), select one or more of the following Zone Options by
using the Feature Select Programming Method (see page 13).
Auto-zone Shutdown
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32; Option [1]
Option [1] OFF = Auto-zone Shutdown disabled
Option [1] ON = Auto-zone Shutdown enabled (default)
If, in a single armed period, the number of alarms generated by a
zone with the Auto-zone Shutdown option enabled exceeds the
number defined by the Auto-zone Shutdown Counter, the
console will no longer generate an alarm for that zone. The Auto-
zone Shutdown Counter resets every time the system is armed.
Auto-zone Shutdown Counter
Section [067]: 001 to 015 alarms; 000 = Disabled; Default =
5 alarms
Enter the desired limit into section [067] to program the
Auto-zone Shutdown Counter.
Bypass Option
Section [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32; Option [2]
Option [2] OFF = Bypass option disabled
Option [2] ON = Selected zone is Bypass enabled (default)
When a user uses the Bypass Programming feature, only zones
with the Bypass option enabled can be programmed as
bypassed.
Fire zones cannot be programmed with the Bypass option
because the console will not bypass a Fire zone.
Alarm Types
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32; Options [4] and [5]
When an alarm condition occurs, the console can be
programmed to react as shown in Table 2 on page 17.
Table 2: Alarm Type Options
The Alarm Type options cannot be programmed for Fire
zones. Fire zones are automatically programmed with an
audible pulsed alarm. This cannot be altered.
Intellizone
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32; option [6]
Option [6] OFF = Intellizone disabled (default)
Option [6] ON = Intellizone enabled
This feature reduces the possibility of false alarms. When a zone
with the Intellizone option opens, the console does not
immediately generate an alarm. First it triggers the Intellizone
Delay Timer. If any of the following conditions occur during this
period, the panel will generate an alarm:
Options Description
[4] [5]
OFF OFF Audible steady alarm (default)
When the conditions for an alarm have been
met, the control panel can transmit the
appropriate Zone Alarm report code (see
page 27) and provides a steady output for the
on-board siren.
OFF ON Audible pulsed alarm
When the conditions for an alarm have been
met, Magellan can transmit the appropriate Zone
Alarm report code (see page 27) and provides a
pulsed output (see Figure 20 on page 16) for the
on-board siren.
ON OFF Silent alarm
When the conditions for an alarm are met, the
control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone
Alarm report code (see page 27) and will not
activate the control panel’s bell output. The
appropriate ARM or STATUS LED on the keypads
will flash to indicate an alarm and the user will
still have to disarm the system.
ON ON Report only
When the conditions for an alarm have been
met, the control panel can transmit the
appropriate Zone Alarm report code (see
page 27). The system will not have to be
disarmed.
18 Reference & Installation Manual
• During the Intellizone Delay, a second zone has caused an
alarm.
• During the Intellizone Delay, the zone in alarm has restored
(closed) and re-occurred (opened).
• The zone in alarm is still open after the Intellizone Delay has
elapsed.
This feature is not for use in UL installations.
Intellizone Delay Timer
Section [065]: 010 to 255 seconds; Default = 45 seconds
Enter the desired 3-digit value into section [065] to program
the Intellizone Delay Timer.
Delay Before Alarm Report Code Transmission
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32; option [7]
Option [7] OFF = Delay alarm transmission disabled (default)
Option [7] ON = Delay alarm transmission enabled
This feature is commonly used with Entry Delay zones to reduce
false alarms created by new users who may not disarm the
system in time. This feature works as follows:
• When an alarm condition occurs on a zone with this option
enabled, the console enables the bell/siren output, but does
not report the alarm to the monitoring station until the end of
the Alarm Transmission Delay.
• During this period, disarming the system disables the bell/
siren output and cancels the report code transmission.
This feature is not for use in UL installations.
Alarm Transmission Delay
Section [075]: 001 to 255 seconds; 000 = Disabled; Default
= 0 seconds
Enter the desired 3-digit delay value into section [075] to
program the Alarm Transmission Delay.
Force Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32; Option [8]
Option [8] OFF = Force zone disabled
Option [8] ON = Selected zone is Force enabled (default)
Any open Force zones at the time of arming will be considered
deactivated by the console. If during this period a deactivated
zone is closed, the console will revert that zone to active status.
Consequently, the console will generate an alarm if the zone is
breached.
Fire zones cannot be programmed with the Force zone
option because the console will not bypass a Fire zone when
the system is being Force armed.
This feature is not for use in UL installations.
Stay Delay Zones
Section [094]: Options [1]
Option [1] OFF = Stay Delay zone disabled (default)
Option [1] ON = Stay Delay zone enabled
When a Follow/Stay or Instant/Stay zone is armed using the Stay
or Instant arming methods, with this option enabled and the zone
is triggered, an alarm will not generate until the programmed
Stay Delay elapses. A zone defined as Stay Delay follows the
Entry Delay 1 Timer. To program the Entry Delay Timers, refer to
Entry Delay 1 on page 15.
This feature is not for use in UL installations.
Zones 31 and 32 Become Hardwire Zones
Section [095]: Options [1] and [2]
Option [1] OFF = Wireless zone 31 remains unchanged (default)
Option [1] ON = Wireless zone 31 uses the on-board hardwire
zone input 1
Option [2] OFF = Wireless zone 32 remains unchanged (default)
Option [2] ON = Wireless zone 32 uses the on-board hardwire
zone input 2
The Magellan console comes with two on-board zone inputs,
hardwire zone inputs 1 and 2. Section [095] options [1] and [2]
allow you to convert zones 31 and 32 from wireless to hardwire
by allowing you to connect hardwire detection devices (i.e., door
contacts) to zone inputs 1 and 2.
• With section [095] option [1] ON, zone 31 is connected to
zone input 1.
• With section [095] option [2] ON, zone 32 is connected to
zone input 2.
EOL (End-Of-Line) Zones
Section [095]: Option [3]
Option [3] OFF = Hardwire zones 1 & 2 do not require EOL
resistors (default)
Option [3] ON = Hardwire zones 1 & 2 require EOL resistors
This feature only applies to Magellan’s on-board zone
inputs. Section [095] options [1] and/or [2] (see Zones 31
and 32 Become Hardwire Zones on page 18) must be ON in
order to use this feature.
If the hardwire detection devices connected to Magellan’s zone
inputs 1 and 2 have input terminals that require 1K9 end-of-line
resistors, enable (ON) section [095] option [3]. For details on
using EOL resistors, refer to page 9.
When hardwired zones are used, the EOL Resistor Option must
be enabled for UL installations.Wireless Programming
The Magellan system supports up to 32 wireless zones
and two wireless doorbells. These wireless zones are monitored
using transmitters such as wireless detectors and door contacts.
The Magellan console only supports the Paradox Magellan
series of wireless transmitters. The programming of the
transmitters is accomplished in two steps:
1. Assign the wireless transmitter to Magellan.
2. Program the wireless zone.
Paradox Magellan Systems 19
Assigning Wireless Zone Transmitters
Sections [201] to [232]: Zones 1-32; Wireless Transmitters 1-32
Sections [201] to [232] represent zones 1 to 32. A wireless
transmitter assigned to a section ([201] to [232]) will be assigned
to the zone represented by the section.
For example, a wireless transmitter assigned to section [205] will
be assigned to zone 5.
To assign a wireless transmitter:
1. Access the installer programming mode (see page 13).

34 Reference & Installation Manual
Programmable Outputs
A PGM is a programmable output that toggles to its opposite
state (i.e. a normally open PGM will close) when a specific event
has occurred in the system. For example, a PGM can be used to
activate bells or strobe lights, open/close garage doors and
much more. When a PGM activates, the control panel triggers
any device or relay connected to it. The Magellan console
includes two onboard PGMs. It can support up to a total of four
PGMs (e.g., two onboard PGMs + two wireless PGMs OR four
wireless PGMs).
Assigning PGMs
Sections [235] to [238]: PGMs 1 to 4
Sections [235] to [238] represent PGMs 1 to 4. A PGM module
assigned to a section ([235] to [238]) will be assigned to the PGM
represented by the section.
For example, a PGM module assigned to section [235] will be
assigned to PGM1.
To assign a PGM:
1. Access the installer programming mode (see page 13).
2. Enter the [SECTION] corresponding to the desired zone.
3. Enter the 6-digit [SERIAL NUMBER] of the PGM module.
The serial number is located on the inside of the PGM module.
The PGM module must be activated once having been assigned
to the Magellan console. To activate a PGM module, insert the
batteries and close the cover.
PGM 1 and 2 are onboard. PGM 3 and 4 are wireless.
Setting PGM Function
This feature allows you to program the Magellan console to
recognize PGM1 and/or PGM2 as a hardwire PGM (onboard)
and PGM 3 and/or 4 as wireless. To set a PGM’s function:
1. Press [MENU] + [4] + [INSTALLER CODE] + [7].
2. Press [OK] to set the function of PGM1 or [NEXT] to set the
function of PGM 2, 3, and/or 4. Press [OK] to set the function
of the desired PGM module.
3. Press [YES] to set the PGM as wireless.
4. Open and then close the cover of the wireless PGM module.
The PGM function has been set.
5. To continue programming the module, follow the instructions
on the Magellan console.
To program the PGM’s activation event and/or deactivation
event, see Onboard PGM Activation Event on page 34, Wireless
PGM Activation Event on page 35, Onboard PGM Deactivation
Event on page 34 and Wireless PGM Deactivation Event on
page 35.
If both PGM1 and PGM2 are set as hardwire (onboard),
Magellan will ignore sections [260] to [267], and [280] to [283].
Onboard PGM Activation Event
Section [086] = PGM1 Activation Event
Section [088] = PGM2 Activation Event
This feature allows you to program the Magellan console to
activate a PGM when a specific event occurs in the system. The
PGM will remain in its active state until the programmed PGM
Deactivation Event (see page 34) occurs or when the PGM
Delay (see page 34) elapses. To program a PGM Activation
Event:
1. Enter the section that corresponds to the desired PGM;
PGM1 = [086], PGM2 = [088].
2. Enter the [EVENT GROUP #].
3. Enter the [SUB-GROUP #].
The AC Loss PGM event (Event Group #28, Event Sub-group
#01) will only occur after the Power Failure Report Delay
elapses (see page 33).
For the Event List, see the PGM Table in the Magellan
Programming Guide.
Onboard PGM Deactivation Event
Section [087] = PGM1
Section [089] = PGM2
After PGM activation (see Onboard PGM Activation Event on
page 34), the PGM will return to its normal state (deactivate)
when the programmed PGM Deactivation Event occurs. To
program a Deactivation Event:
1. Enter section that represents the desired PGM; PGM1 =
[087], PGM2 = [089].
2. Enter the [EVENT GROUP #].
3. Enter the [SUB-GROUP #].
A PGM can also be set to deactivate after a programmed period
elapses (see Onboard PGM Delay on page 34). If using the
PGM Delay, sections [087] and [089] can be used as an
additional PGM Activation Event.
For the complete Event List, see the PGM Table in the
Magellan Programming Guide.
Onboard PGM Delay
Section [068] = PGM1, Section [069] = PGM2
001 to 255 seconds; 000 = Follow Deactivation Event;
Default = 5 seconds
Instead of deactivating the PGM on the occurrence of a specific
event, the PGM will deactivate after the period programmed in
here has elapsed. Enter 000 to have the PGMs deactivate with a
PGM Deactivation Event (see page 34).
If a PGM Delay is programmed, the corresponding PGM
Deactivation Event can be used as an additional PGM Activation
Event.
Paradox Magellan Systems 35
PGM Normal State (Onboard Only)
Section [090]: Options [7] (PGM1) and [8] (PGM2)
Option [7] OFF = PGM1 Normally Open (default)
Option [7] ON = PGM1 Normally Closed
Option [8] OFF = PGM2 Normally Open (default)
Option [8] ON = PGM2 Normally Closed
A PGM toggles to its opposite state (i.e. a normally open PGM
will close) when a specific event has occurred in the system. You
can program each PGM output to be normally open (N.O.) or
normally closed (N.C.) by enabling or disabling options [7] and
[8] in section [090].
PGM X10 Option (MG-6160 Only / Onboard
Only)
Section [091]: Options [7] (PGM1) and [8] (PGM2)
Option [7] OFF = PGM1 used as programmable output (default)
Option [7] ON = PGM1 used as X10 output 7
Option [8] OFF = PGM2 used as programmable output (default)
Option [8] ON = PGM2 used as X10 output 8
With section [091] options [7] and [8] enabled (ON), PGMs 1 and
2 will follow the ON/OFF state of X10 outputs 7 and 8. Therefore
the PGMs will function as follows:
• When X10 output 7 is enabled, PGM1 will activate. When
X10 output 7 is disabled, PGM1 will deactivate.
• When X10 output 8 is enabled, PGM2 will activate. When
X10 output 8 is disabled, PGM2 will deactivate.
When section [091] options [7] and [8] are enabled, the PGM
outputs will disregard their PGM activation and deactivation
events (sections [086] to [089]).

Section [260] = Wireless PGM1 Activation Event
Section [262] = Wireless PGM2 Activation Event
Section [264] = Wireless PGM3 Activation Event
Section [266] = Wireless PGM4 Activation Event
This feature allows you to program the MG-2WPGM modules to
activate a wireless PGM when a specific event occurs in the
system. The wireless PGM will remain in its active state until the
programmed Wireless PGM Deactivation Event (see page 35)
occurs or when the Wireless PGM Delay (see page 35) elapses.
To program a Wireless PGM Activation Event:
1. Enter the section that corresponds to the desired wireless
PGM; Wireless PGM1 = [260], Wireless PGM2 = [262],
Wireless PGM3 = [264], Wireless PGM3 = [266].
2. Enter the [EVENT GROUP #].
3. Enter the [SUB-GROUP #].
The AC Loss PGM event (Event Group #28, Event Sub-group
#01) will only occur after the Power Failure Report Delay
elapses (see page 33).
For the Event List, see the PGM Table in the Magellan
Programming Guide.
Wireless PGM Deactivation Event
Section [261] = Wireless PGM1 Deactivation Event
Section [263] = Wireless PGM2 Deactivation Event
Section [265] = Wireless PGM3 Deactivation Event
Section [267] = Wireless PGM4 Deactivation Event
After a Wireless PGM activation (see Wireless PGM Activation
Event on page 35), the wireless PGM will return to its normal
state (deactivate) when the programmed Wireless PGM
Deactivation Event occurs. To program a Wireless Deactivation
Event:
1. Enter section that represents the desired wireless PGM;
Wireless PGM1 = [261], Wireless PGM2 = [263], Wireless
PGM3 = [265], Wireless PGM3 = [267].
2. Enter the [EVENT GROUP #].
3. Enter the [SUB-GROUP #].
A wireless PGM can also be set to deactivate after a
programmed period elapses (see Wireless PGM Delay on page

Trouble Description
38 Reference & Installation Manual
WinLoad Software Settings
Panel Answer Options
The following two options define how Magellan answers an
incoming call from a computer using the WinLoad Installer
Upload/Download Software.
Answering Machine Override
Section [074]: 010 to 255 seconds; 000 = disabled; Default =
disabled
When using WinLoad to communicate remotely with an
installation site that uses an answering machine or service, the
answering machine override must be programmed. Using
WinLoad, you will call Magellan, hang up, then call back. If the
installation site is called back within the delay programmed in
section [074], the console will override the answering machine or
service by picking up the line after the first ring on the second
call. You must wait at least 10 seconds before attempting the
second call, otherwise, the console will think it is the same call.
For details on how to use WinLoad, refer to the WinLoad
On-line Help.
Example: A security installation is using an answering machine
set to answer after three rings. If section [074] has been
programmed with 040 (40 seconds) and the second call is made
within 40 seconds, Magellan will pick up the line on the first ring.
If it takes more than 40 seconds, the console will not answer on
the first ring and the answering machine will answer after three
rings.
Number of Rings
Section [072]: 001 to 015 rings; 000 = disabled; Default = 008
This value represents the number of rings Magellan will wait
before picking-up the line. If the line is not answered after the
number of programmed rings, the console will answer the call.
You must wait at least 10 seconds before attempting the second
call or Magellan will think it is the same call.
Panel Identifier
Section [108]: 4-digit Hexadecimal number from 0000 to FFFF
This 4-digit code identifies the console to WinLoad before
initiating communication. Magellan will verify that the Panel
Identifier in the WinLoad software is the same as the code
programmed in section [108]. If the codes do not match, the
console will not establish communication. Therefore, be sure to
program the same panel identifier code into both Magellan and
WinLoad.
PC Password
Section [109]: 4-digit Hexadecimal number from 0000 to FFFF
This 4-digit password identifies the PC to Magellan before
establishing communication. Program the same PC password
into both the console and WinLoad. If the passwords do not
match, WinLoad will not establish communication.
PC Telephone Number
Section [115]
Magellan will dial the number programmed in section [118] when
trying to initiate communication with a computer using WinLoad.
You can enter any digit from 0 to 9 and any special keys or
functions (see Table 7 on page 29) up to a maximum of 32 digits.
Call Back Feature
Section [098]: Option [4]
Option [4] OFF = Call Back Feature disabled (default)
Option [4] ON = Call Back Feature enabled
The Call Back feature provides additional security. When section
[098] option [4] in ON and a computer using WinLoad attempts to
communicate with Magellan, the console hangs up and calls the
computer back to re-verify identification codes and re-establish
communication. When Magellan hangs up, WinLoad
automatically goes into Wait for Call mode, ready to answer
when the console calls back. The PC Telephone number must be
programmed (see PC Telephone Number on page 38).

FCC WARNINGS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules subpart D and CS-03. Inside
the cover of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the
FCC registration number of this equipment.
NOTIFICATION TO TELEPHONE COMPANY
Upon request, customer shall notify telephone company of particular line to which
the connection will be made, and provide the FCC registration number and the
ringer equivalence of the protective circuit.
FCC REGISTRATION NUMBER:5A7AL01BMG-61606130
RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER:0.1B (U.S. & Canada)
USOC JACK:RJ31X (USA), CA31A (CANADA)
TELEPHONE CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
Except for telephone company provided ringers, all connections to the telephone
network shall be made through standard plugs and telephone company provided
jacks, or equivalent, in such a manner as to allow for easy, immediate
disconnection of terminal equipment. Standard jacks shall be so arranged that, if
plug connected thereto is withdrawn, no interference to operation of equipment at
customer's premises which remains connected to telephone network shall occur by
reason of such withdrawal.
INCIDENCE OF HARM
Should terminal equipment/protective circuitry cause harm to telephone network,
telephone company shall, where practicable, notify customer that temporary
disconnection of service may be required; however, where prior notice is not
practicable, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service if action is
deemed reasonable in circumstances. In case of temporary discontinuance,
telephone company shall promptly notify customer and will be given opportunity to
correct the situation.
CHANGES IN TELEPHONE COMPANY EQUIPMENT OR FACILITIES
The telephone company may make changes in its communication facilities,
equipment operations or procedures, where such actions are reasonably required
and proper in its business. Should any such changes render customer's terminal
equipment incompatible with the telephone company facilities, the customer shall
be given adequate notice to effect the modifications to maintain uninterrupted
service.
GENERAL
This equipment shall not be used on coin telephone lines. Connection to party line
service is subject to state tariffs.
RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER (REN)
The ren is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number
is called. In most, but not all areas, sum of the ren's of all devices connected to
one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that
you may connect to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone
company.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE FACILITY
If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact facility
indicated below for information on obtaining service or repairs. The telephone
company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from network until problem is
corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
FCC PART 15, WARNINGSINFORMATION TO USER
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B
digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to equipment intermittently, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures: (1) re orient or relocate the receiving antenna; (2) increase the
separation between the equipment and receiver; (3) connect the equipment to an
outlet on a circuit other than the one to which the receiver is connected, or (4)
consult the dealer or an experienced radio/tv technician for assistance.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by PARADOX SECURITY
SYSTEMS could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
UL WARNINGS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This equipment should be installed in accordance with Chapter 11 of the National
Fire Alarm Code, ANSI/NFPA 72, (National Fire Protection Association,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).
Each console is intended to be checked by a technician at least once every three
years.
LIMITATIONS OF ALARM SYSTEMS
It must be understood that while your Paradox alarm system is highly advanced and
secure, it does not offer any guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or other
emergency (fire and emergency options are only available on certain Paradox
models). This is due to a number of reasons, including by not limited to inadequate or
improper installation/positioning, sensor limitations, battery performance, wireless
signal interruption, inadequate maintenance or the potential for the system or
telephone lines to be compromised or circumvented. As a result, Paradox does not
represent that the alarm system will prevent personal injury or property damage, or in
all cases provide adequate warning or protection.
Your security system should therefore be considered as one of many tools available
to reduce risk and/or damage of burglary, fire or other emergencies, such other tools
include but are not limited to insurance coverage, fire prevention and extinguish
devices, and sprinkler systems.
We also strongly recommend that you regularly maintain your security systems and
stay aware of new and improved Paradox products and developments.
WARNINGS FOR CONNECTIONS TO NON-TRADITIONAL
TELEPHONY (e.g. VoIP)
Paradox alarm equipment was designed to work effectively around traditional
telephone systems. For those customers who are using a Paradox alarm panel
connected to a non-traditional telephone system, such as "Voice Over Internet
Protocol" (VoIP) that converts the voice signal from your telephone to a digital signal
traveling over the Internet, you should be aware that your alarm system may not
function as effectively as with traditional telephone systems.
For example, if your VoIP equipment has no battery back-up, during a power failure
your system's ability to transmit signals to the central station may be compromised.
Or, if your VoIP connection becomes disabled, your telephone line monitoring feature
may also be compromised. Other concerns would include, without limitation, Internet
connection failures which may be more frequent than regular telephone line outages.
We therefore strongly recommend that you discuss these and other limitations
involved with operating an alarm system on a VoIP or other non-traditional telephone
system with your installation company. They should be able to offer or recommend
measures to reduce the risks involved and give you a better understanding.
