Installation manual

Paradox Magellan Systems 3
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 6 to 34) 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.
