10 Reference & Installation Manual
WinLoad Connection
The Magellan console can be programmed and monitored
through the WinLoad Installer Upload/Download Software for
Windows®. WinLoad allows for remote or on-site uploading and
downloading using most standard modems. It also allows for
advanced printing of reports and supports several languages
simultaneously. Connect Magellan to a computer containing the
WinLoad software as shown in Figure 10 on page 10.
Refer to the WinLoad’s Online Help for more information
on WinLoad.

UIP-256 Universal In-Field Programmer
Connection
Magellan’s firmware can be upgraded locally using the UIP-256
Universal In-Field Programmer. The UIP-256 includes
proprietary PC software, cables to interconnect Magellan and a
PC, as well as two 9V batteries. Connect the UIP-256 as shown
in Figure 11 on page 10.
Refer to the Universal In-Field Programmer (UIP-256)
Instructions for more information.

X10 Transmitter Connection (MG-6160 only)
Magellan supports the X10 communication protocol. X10 is a
communication protocol for remote control of electrical devices
such as lamps and appliances. Communication is accomplished
through standard household electrical wiring using X10
transmitters and receivers. Configure Magellan, with the use of
an X10 transmitter, to automate a home. Connect the X10
transmitter as shown in Figure 12 on page 10.
Refer to the Magellan X10 Instructions on our website,
paradox.com, for information on using and configuring
Magellan’s X10 feature.

The X10 feature is not for use in UL installations.

When using a Paradox Memory Key with a Magellan console,
remove power (both AC and battery power) and connect the
memory key to the 5-pin connector on the back of the Magellan
console as shown in Figure 13 on page 11. Once connected, re-
