Installation Figure 2: Connecting the Backup Battery (cont’d) AC Power Magellan requires a 9Vac (1A/9VA) to 16.5Vac (20VA) transformer (not included) to supply power to the console. Connect the transformer to the AC terminals as shown in Figure 1 on page 8. 2. Slide in the battery pack horizontally, tilt the battery pack downward and then tuck it in Magellan’s battery compartment. Magellan can also be powered through a DC power supply. Connect a 12Vdc to 18Vdc to the AC terminals to power the console.
The Magellan console must be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in an 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 electronically in series with and ahead of all other equipment attached to the same telephone line. Proper installation is depicted in the diagram below.
Refer to the Magellan X10 Instructions on our website, www.paradox.ca, for information on using and configuring Magellan’s X10 feature. 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 6 on page 10. Please note the following: • Only zones 15 and 16 can be programmed as hardwire zones 1 and 2.
Figure 10: Mounting Magellan onto the Wall Plate 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.

presence and functionality. If a device has not sent a signal within the specified time period, Magellan can generate a trouble, an alarm and/or transmit a report code to the central monitoring station as defined by the Wireless Transmitter Supervision Options (page 24). Sections [103] and [104] determine which zones will be supervised and which will not. Enable the option pertaining to the zone you wish Magellan to supervise.
Reporting and Dialer Settings Report Codes A report code is a 1- or 2-digit hexadecimal value consisting of digits from 1 to F. Each section from [120] to [156] represents a set of up to four specific events and each of these events can be programmed with a separate 1- or 2-digit report code. Only the Ademco Slow, Silent Knight, and Sescoa formats support 1-digit report codes. To program a 1-digit report code, press the [0] key followed by the desired hexadecimal digit or vice versa.
• • • Auxiliary Panic: Panic keys [4] and [6] (page 25) or the appropriate button(s) on a remote control (page 20) have been pressed. Fire Panic: Panic keys [7] and [9] (page 25) or the appropriate button(s) on a remote control (page 20) have been pressed. Recent Closing: Reports when an alarm is generated after arming the system within period defined by the Recent Close Delay (see page 30).

Please refer to Appendix 1: Ademco Contact ID Report Code List on page 36 for a complete list of the format’s pre-defined industry standard messages and report codes. Console Account Number Section [107] All report codes are preceded by a 4-digit or 3-digit Console Account Number to ensure correct identification of the Magellan console. The Console account number can be any hexa-digit from 1 to F. To enter a 3-digit account number, simply press the [0] key followed by the 3-digit account number.
For more information, please refer to Central Station Telephone Numbers (CSTNs) on page 28, Alternate Dial Option on page 30, CSTN 2 as Backup Number on page 28 and Delay Between Dialing Attempts on page 30. Example: The system is armed and zone 1 has been breached causing an alarm. If options [5] and [7] are OFF and option [6] is ON in section [100], the console will attempt to communicate with CSTN 2 in order to transmit the Zone 1 Alarm Report Code programmed in section [131].
Auto-Test Report Section [071]: 001 to 255 days; 000 = Disabled; Default = Disabled Section [084]: Time (HH:MM) The Magellan console will transmit the Test Report report code programmed into section [153] after the number of days programmed into section [071] has elapsed at the time programmed into section [084]. Use the 24-hour clock to program the time (i.e. 6:30PM = 18:30). The first Test Report will be transmitted within 24 hours after the feature is enabled at the time programmed in [084].
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 closes, the control panel supplies a ground to the PGM activating any device or relay connected to it. When a PGM opens, the circuit opens from ground, therefore, cutting power to any devices connected to it.
