Installation Guide

18 Reference & Installation Manual
The signal strength is displayed using two terms:
• “Good”: This is an average reading and is acceptable.
• “Weak”: This is the weakest reading. The transmitter should
be moved to another location. Sometimes moving the
transmitter by a small amount will greatly increase the signal
reception.
To view the signal strength of a wireless transmitter:
1. Access the installer programming mode (page 11).
2. Enter the [
SECTION ] corresponding to the desired zone or
doorbell.
3. The LCD will display either “Good” or “Weak” on the screen.
When performing a signal strength test, Magellan also displays
the noise level surrounding each of the transmitters. “Low”
refers to a low level of noise while “High” refers to a noisy
environment.
The signal strength can also be verified by performing a
system test. See Quick Setup on page 4 for more
information.
Assigning Remote Controls
Sections [041] to [056]: Users 1 to 16; Remote Controls 1 to 16
The Magellan console accepts up to 16 fully programmable
remote controls. Every user code can have one remote control
assigned to it.
To assign a remote control:
1. Press [
MENU ] + [4] + [2].
Programming the Remote Control’s Buttons
Sections [161] to [176]: Users 1 to 16; Remote Controls 1 to 16
Sections [161] to [176] represent the remote controls assigned to
user codes 1 to 16 (see Table 4 on page 18).
The remote control will transmit a signal for only 1 second when
a button is pressed. This is done to conserve the remote
control’s batteries.
Though remote controls can be assigned by the System Master,
the remote control’s buttons are programmed by the installer.
Each remote control can be programmed to perform up to 5
different actions. Each digit in sections [161] to [176] represents
a button or combination of buttons (see Table 4 on page 18).
To program a remote control’s buttons:
1. Access the installer programming mode (page 11).
2. Enter the [
SECTION ] (sections [161] to [176]) corresponding
to the desired remote control.
3. Enter the [
HEXADECIMAL VALUE ] (0 to D) of the desired
button option from Table 20 (page 19).
If you do not wish to program all the buttons or button
combinations, press the [#] key at any time to save and exit.
If you enable any Panic button options, you must enable the
Panic options in the control panel (refer to Panic Alarms on
page 23).
