Chapter 2: Arming / Disarming What’s in this chapter: • • • • Arming Disarming Fire Alarms Panic Alarms This chapter will cover the multiple arming methods that Magellan employs such as Regular arming and Stay arming. This chapter will also cover disarming the system, what to do during a fire alarm, fire safety tips, and Panic alarms.
Arming When your system is armed, it can respond to any breach in the protected zones by generating an alarm and by transmitting a report to your Central Monitoring Station. Though the arming methods explained in this section pertain to arming through Magellan’s keypad, the system can also be armed using your remote control. See Remote Controls on page 8.
Stay Arming Stay arming will partially arm your system to permit you to remain in your home by arming the outer zones of your system (i.e. doors and windows) and ignoring interior zones (motion detectors). All defined zones in the system must be closed (the green READY light is ON) to Stay arm the system. To Stay arm your system: User code Instant Arming This arming method is the same as Stay arming (page 13) except that the Entry Delay timer (see page 16) is ignored.
Bypass Programming You can bypass certain zones when you arm the system. When a zone is bypassed, it will be ignored the next time you arm the system. Once the system is disarmed, the system will “unbypass” the zone. Zones that can be bypassed are defined by your installer. To bypass a zone: menu next byp Press until desired zone The light will turn ON whenever a zone or multiple zones are bypassed. Fire zones cannot be bypassed.
Auto-Arming You can set the time that the system will arm itself automatically. There are two methods of auto-arming: Timed Auto-Arming Your installer can set the Timed Auto-arming method to function in either Regular or Stay arming modes. A sixty-second Exit Delay sequence will begin prior to your system automatically arming itself at the programmed time.
Disarming When your system is disarmed, it deactivates any alarms in progress and it deactivates the zones so an alarm will not be triggered if zones are breached. Entry Delay Timer Your installer will program designated entry points (i.e. the front door) with an Entry Delay timer. This delay gives you time to enter the armed premises and enter your User code to disarm your system before the alarm is triggered. Up to two Entry Delay timers can be programmed in your Magellan console.
Disarming a System in Alarm To disarm a system in alarm: User code In the case of a burglar alarm, leave the premises immediately and call the Police from a safe location (i.e. neighbours). Alarm Memory Display When an alarm has occurred in your system, the Magellan console will store that alarm in its alarm memory. All zones where alarms have occurred will be stored in the alarm memory. The system will erase the contents of the alarm memory every time the system is armed.
Fire Alarms For complete coverage in residential units, smoke detectors should be installed in the following locations: • • • • • In any hallway outside bedroom areas. Additional detectors should be installed for every bedroom area as shown in Figure 2. On every floor of a multi-floor home or apartment. At both ends of a bedroom hallway if the hallway is more than 12m (40ft.) long. At the bottom of a basement stairwell.
Standard Fire Zones During a fire alarm, the siren emits an intermittent sound (BEEP-BEEP-BEEP) until silenced or reset. If the zone is a Standard Fire Zone, your system can immediately send an alert to your Central Monitoring Station. To disarm a false alarm: Call your Central Monitoring Station quickly to advise them of the false alarm. User code Delayed Fire Zones If the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone, there is an automatic delay before your system contacts your Central Monitoring Station.

Fire Safety Tips How should you prepare in case of a fire in your home or business? • • • • • • • • Remind everyone to escape first, and then call for help. Develop a fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside. Practice the escape plan frequently. Plan two ways to escape from every room, if possible. Practice feeling the way out with eyes closed. Instruct everyone never to stand up during a fire, always crawl under the smoke and keep mouths covered.
Panic Alarms Your system can be programmed to send an alarm to your Central Monitoring Station to request help from the police, a medical facility, the fire department or anyone you wish when you press a pre-determined combination of keys from Magellan’s Main keypad. To generate a panic alarm, simultaneously press and hold the key combinations displayed in Figure 4. Your installer can program the alarm to be either silent or audible.
