Paradox Magellan Systems 9
Normally Closed (N.C.) as detailed in PGM Normal State
(Onboard Only) on page 35.
If the current draw on the PGMs is to exceed 100mA, we
recommend using an external relay as shown in Method 2 in
Figure 7 on page 9. For connecting PGM2, see Figure 8.
Using Method 2, connect the device to the output terminal of the
external relay that matches the normal state of Magellan’s PGM
output. For example, if PGM1’s normal state is Normally Open
(N.O.), connect the device to the
N.O. terminal of the external
relay.

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 9 on page 9. Please note the following:
• Section [095] options [1] and [2] must be enabled in order to
use the two on-board hardwire zones. See Zones 31 and 32
Become Hardwire Zones on page 18 for more information.
• After connecting the detection devices, the zones must be
defined. See Zone Programming on page 15 for more
information.
• The hardwire zones follow the console’s EOL and tamper
definitions.
Though any hardwire detection device can be connected to
Magellan’s on-board hardwire zone inputs, it is recommended
that only devices that do not require a power source (i.e.,
standard door contacts) be connected. Since Magellan has no
power supply, an external power supply would have to be
connected in order to power hardwire detection devices that do
require a power source.
