2User GuideChapter 1: OverviewWhat’s in this chapter:• Introduction• Basic OperationThis chapter will give you a basic overview of your Magellan system. It will cover Magellan’s light indicators, keypads and remote controls. This chapter also includes sections explaining how to use this guide as well as a list of conventions used throughout the manual.
Overview 3IntroductionMagellan 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. With Magellan you have security and so much more:• Built-in FM radio (page 19)*• Speakerphone (page 21)*• Family message center (page 18)• Telephone access to system features (page 25)• Alarm clock (page 20)• Chime zones (page 22)• Voice, Utility and Pager reporting (page 29 to page 31)• One-touch arming (page 11) and panic keys (page 16)• Full, Force, Stay, Instant and Automatic arming (page 9)**• X10 home automation (page 24)*• 32 wireless zones, 16 remote controls and 16 users available* Available with the MG-6160 only.** Please note that Force arming and Auto-arming are not for use in UL installations.

Arming / Disarming 9Chapter 2: Arming / DisarmingThis 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.ArmingWhen 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 TimerWhen 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 ArmingThis 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:SystemMaster code Exit Delay from 001 to 255 secs.Press until desired tonemenu next next ok ok next okUser code
10 User GuideStay ArmingStay 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 ArmingThis 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 ArmingForce 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 ProgrammingYou 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:User codeUser code Press & hold for 3 secs.Press until desired zoneThe light will turn ON whenever a zone or multiple zones are bypassed.menu next byp
Arming / Disarming 11One-Touch ArmingIf 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-ArmingYou can set the time that the system will arm itself automatically. There are two methods of auto-arming:Timed Auto-ArmingYour 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-ArmingYour 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 installationsTable 1: One-touch Arming KeysFunction Key Arming Method key Stay arm (page 10) key Instant arm* (page 10) key Regular arm (page 9)Program timemenu ok
12 User GuideDisarmingWhen 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 TimerYour 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 TimerProgram 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 SystemWhen 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.

Arming / Disarming 13Disarming a System in AlarmAlarm Memory DisplayWhen 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 MenuAfter an alarm has occurredFire AlarmsFor 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.User codeTo 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., neighbor’s).Use the [PREV] or [NEXT] action keys to scroll through available events.ormenu prev nextUse the [PREV] or [NEXT] action keys to scroll through available events.orprev nextok
14 User GuideFigure 2: Single Residence with One or Two Sleeping AreasSmoke detectors should be installed as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. Standard Fire ZonesDuring 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 monitoring station. To disarm a false alarm:Dining Room KitchenLiving RoomBedroomBedroom Bedroom = Smoke detectors for minimum security. = Smoke detectors for additional security.Sleeping areaBedroom BedroomBedroomBedroomFamily RoomLiving RoomKitchen BedroomBedroomLiving RoomKitchenBedroomBedroomFamily RoomSleeping areasSingle Residence with One Sleeping Area Single Residence with Two Sleeping AreasUser codeCall your monitoring station quickly to advise them of the false alarm.
Arming / Disarming 15Delayed Fire ZonesIf the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone, there is an automatic delay 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 TipsHow 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.Press any key within 30 seconds of alarmClear problem from area (i.e. smoke around the smoke detector).If the problem remains after 90 seconds, the alarm will sound again.Alert will be delayed by another 30 seconds
16 User GuideMinimizing Home Fire HazardsHow 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 AlarmsYour 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.Figure 3: Delayed Fire Zone

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have additional rights depending on the location.Limitations of Alarm SystemsWe strongly advise that you review and take into consideration the “Limitations of Alarm Systems” document available on our website at http://paradox.com/Terms/. Warning 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. Legal© 2004-2006 Paradox Security Systems Ltd. All rights reserved.
