About This Programming Guide
This programming guide should be used in conjunction with the Magellan Reference & Installation Manual which can be downloaded
from our website at paradox.com. Use this guide to record the settings programmed for this console.
Conventions
Installer Code (Default: 0000 / 000000)
The Installer code is used to enter programming mode (see Entering Programming Mode on page 2), which allows you to program all the
features, options and commands of the Magellan console except user codes. The Installer code can be 4 or 6 digits in length (see section
[090] option [1] on page 7) where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. See section [181] on page 13 to change the default code.
Maintenance Code (Default: 1111 / 111111)
The Maintenance code is similar to the Installer code. It can be used to enter programming mode (see Entering Programming Mode
on page 2), which allows you to program all the features, options and commands except
for the Magellan console’s communication
settings (sections [108] to [112], sections [180] to [182]) as well as any user codes. The Maintenance code can be 4 or 6 digits in
length (see section [090] option [1] on page 7) where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. See section [182] on page 13 to
change the default code (Installer only).
Master Code (Default: 1234 / 123456)
With the System Master code a user can use any arming method and can program user codes. The System Master code can be 4 or
6 digits in length (see section [090] option [1] on page 7), where each digit can be any digit from 0 to 9. The System Master code
cannot be changed by the Installer or Maintenance code, but it can be reset to default. See section [200] on page 13 to reset to default.
Entering Programming Mode
Use the built-in keypad to access Magellan’s installer programming mode. To access programming mode:
1. Press and hold the [0] key.
2. Enter your [INSTALLER CODE] or [MAINTENANCE CODE].
3. Enter the 3-digit [
SECTION] you wish to program.
4. Enter the required [DATA].
5. Press the [*] key to clear data or to go back one step. Press the [#] key to save changes.
There are two methods that can be used to enter data when in programming mode: Single Digit Data Entry and Feature Select
Programming methods.
Single Digit Data Entry Method
After entering programming mode, some sections will require that you enter decimal values from 000 to 255. Other sections will
require that you enter hexadecimal values from 0 to F. The required data will be clearly indicated in this manual. When entering the
final digit in a section, Magellan will automatically save and advance to the next section. Refer to Figure 1 on page 3 to see the keys
and their equivalent decimal and/or hexadecimal value.
This symbol designates a warning or important information.
This symbol designates a suggestion or reminder.
This symbol designates a reference to another section, manual or guide.
This symbol designates a feature that can also be programmed in the Installer menu which can be accessed by pressing
[menu] and then entering your [
INSTALLER CODE]. The icon will then be followed by the path or buttons that have to be
pressed in order to access the feature once in the Installer menu. For example:
= Once in the Installer menu, press the [4] key and then press the [6] key to access the desired feature.
Refer to the Installer Menu Overview on the back cover for more information on accessing and using the Installer menu.
