Paradox Magellan Systems 3
Introduction
About Magellan and this Manual
Magellan is designed for fast and easy installation. Simply
remove it from the box, mount the console and wireless
transmitters, apply power, perform some basic programming and
Magellan is ready to protect your home.
Some of Magellan’s features can be programmed through a quick
Installer menu (menu programming) or through section
programming. Use the quick setup chapter (see page 4) to install
the Magellan console quickly with the basic programming
required for a standard security application. All other chapters
(pages 7 to 38) are for advanced section programming. These
other chapters provide more in-depth and precise information if
more advanced programming is required.
We recommend that you read this entire manual before you begin
your installation.

Specifications
Power input: AC*: 12Vac, 1A transformer or
16.5Vac, 1A transformer
or
DC: 12Vdc to 18Vdc (1A) power supply
or
For UL installations:
Primary: 120Vac, 60Hz, 120mA
Secondary: 16.5Vac, 60Hz, 600mA
Current
consumption: 1A max. (600mA max. for UL installations)
Auxiliary output: When using an AC or DC power source, the
auxiliary output provides 13.8V (200mA
maximum). To achieve this value, use a
minimum of 15Vdc.
Backup Battery: 7.2Vdc, 1.8Ah NiMH rechargeable battery pack
(order # 0780100178)
Not user replaceable. Replace battery every 3-
5 years.
PGM1: N.O solid-state relay (not polarized); Internal
resistance 16 9max.; Max. handling current
100mA.
PGM2: One low powered open-collector; Max.
handling current 50mA.
* It is recommended that you use a 12Vac, 1A transformer to
power the Magellan console. The console will generate less
heat when connected to a 12Vac transformer than when
connected to a 16.5Vac transformer. In UL installations, use
only the Universal transformer (model no. UB1640W,
16.5Vac, 40VA).
The alternate DC power supply is not for use in UL installations.
