Paradox Magellan Systems 17
Wireless Programming
The Magellan system supports up to 16 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.
Assigning Wireless Zone Transmitters
Sections [021] to [036]: Zones 1-16; Wireless Transmitters 1-16
Sections [021] to [036] represent zones 1 to 16. A wireless
transmitter assigned to a section ([021] to [036]) will be assigned
to the zone represented by the section.
For example, a wireless transmitter assigned to section [025] will
be assigned to zone 5.
To assign a wireless transmitter:
1. Access the installer programming mode (page 11).
2. Enter the [
SECTION
] corresponding to the desired zone.
3. Enter the 6-digit [
SERIAL
NUMBER
] of the wireless transmitter.
The serial number is located on the inside of the wireless
transmitter.
The wireless transmitters must be activated once having been
assigned to the Magellan console. To activate a transmitter,
insert the batteries and close the cover. To ensure proper
synchronization between the console and the transmitter, open
and close the zone corresponding to the transmitter.
Are the zones that have wireless transmitters assigned to them
programmed? See Zone Definitions on page 13 and Zone
Options on page 15.
Wireless transmitters can also be assigned through the Installer
menu. Press [
MENU
] + [4] + [
INSTALLER
CODE
] + [6]. Select the
zone you wish to assign the transmitter to, press [
OK
], open the
cover of the transmitter and then close the cover. The
transmitter has been assigned. Refer to the Magellan Quick
Setup for more information on the Installer menu and the
assignment of the wireless transmitters.
Assigning Wireless Doorbells to the Console
Sections [058] and [059]: Wireless Doorbells 1 and 2
Magellan supports the use of two wireless “doorbells”. By
connecting a pushbutton to the Universal Transmitter inputs of a
Magellan Wireless Door Contact (MG-DCT1), the MG-DCT1 will
transmit a signal to Magellan whenever the pushbutton is
pressed. Magellan will in turn become a “doorbell” and play a
predetermined tone (see Wireless Doorbell Tones on page 17).
Please refer to the appropriate Magellan Wireless Door
Contact Instruction for information on the installation and
configuration of the wireless door contact.
To assign a wireless doorbell:
1. Access the installer programming mode (page 11).
2. Enter the [
SECTION
] corresponding to the desired doorbell.
3. Enter the 6-digit [
SERIAL
NUMBER
] of the MG-DCT1.
Wireless Doorbell Tones
Section [096]: Options [1] to [4]
Options [1] and [2] = Set tone for wireless doorbell 1
Options [3] and [4] = Set tone for wireless doorbell 2
Section [096] options [1] to [4] set the tones that will be played
when Magellan receives a signal from either wireless doorbell 1
or 2 or both. Magellan comes with four tones. Refer to Table 3 on
page 17 to set the desired tone.
Table 3: Wireless Doorbell Tones
Deleting Assigned Wireless Transmitters
Sections [021] to [036]: Zones 1-16; Wireless Transmitters 1-16
Sections [058] and [059]: Wireless Doorbells 1 and 2
To delete an assigned wireless transmitter:
1. Access the installer programming mode (page 11).
2. Enter the [
SECTION
] corresponding to the desired zone or
doorbell.
3. Press the [0] key six times to clear the wireless transmitter’s
serial number.
Viewing Wireless Transmitter Signal
Strength
Sections [021] to [036]: Zones 1-16; Wireless Transmitters 1-16
Sections [058] and [059]: Wireless Doorbells 1 and 2
Once wireless transmitters have been assigned to the Magellan
console, the signal strength of each transmitter can be verified in
sections [021] to [036] (zones 1 to 16 respectively) and sections
[058] and [059] (wireless doorbells 1 and 2 respectively). Each
section represents the signal strength viewer for the wireless
transmitter assigned to the corresponding zone.
For example, section [021] is the viewer for the wireless
transmitter assigned to zone 1 and section [036] is the viewer for
the wireless transmitter assigned to zone 16.
