Chapter 1: Overview What’s in this chapter: • • Introduction Basic Operation This chapter will give you a basic overview of your Magellan system. It will cover Magellan’s light indicators, keypads and remote controls. This chapter also includes sections explaining how to use this guide as well as a list of conventions used throughout the manual.
Introduction Magellan is the first security system to combine security with popular consumer features and a stylish design. Magellan looks different from anything else in the security industry. Install it anywhere in your home or small business–Magellan blends beautifully with any décor. Listen to the radio, leave a message or use your system as a telephone, alarm clock or monitoring device.
How to Use this Guide This manual employs an icon-based instruction format to display the steps required to use Magellan’s features. The icon-based instructions are designed to be used in conjunction with the on-screen instructions being displayed on the Magellan console. In other words, as you are following the instructions shown in this guide, you should also be reading what is being displayed on the LCD screen. All of the icons displayed in this guide are explained in Conventions on page 5.
Conventions Icon [DATA] or [KEY] Overview Definition Icon Definition Reference to another manual or guide. Enter the System Master code on the main keypad. Warning or important information. Enter your User code on the main keypad. Reminder or suggestion. Enter a time value (such as when programming Magellan’s date and time) on the main keypad. Type required data or press the designated key on either the main or center keypad. Enter numerical data for the specified feature on the main keypad.

Chapter 2: Arming / Disarming 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 monitoring station.
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 (e.g. doors and windows) and ignoring interior zones (e.g. 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 10) except that the Entry Delay Timer (see page 12) is ignored.
One-Touch Arming If enabled by your installer, you can arm your system with the following arming methods simply by pressing and holding (for three seconds) the appropriate function key. You do not have to enter your User code. See Figure 1 on page 6 for the location of the function keys. Table 1 shows what function keys can be used for one-touch arming.
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: In the case of a burglar alarm, leave the premises immediately and call the police from a safe location (i.e., neighbor’s). User code 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.

Delayed Fire Zones If the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone, there is an automatic delay before your system contacts your monitoring station. Refer to Figure 3 on page 16 to prevent unnecessary reporting of false alarms. To clear a fire alarm triggered by accident: Press any key within 30 seconds of alarm Clear problem from area (i.e. smoke around the smoke detector). If the problem remains after 90 seconds, the alarm will sound again.
Minimizing Home Fire Hazards Figure 3: Delayed Fire Zone How can you avoid the three most common causes of fires at home? • • • Never leave cooking food unattended. It is the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires often result from unattended cooking and human error, rather than mechanical failure. Stay alert when smoking. Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smoulder-resistant bedding and upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents.

This chapter also covers some zone features as well as instructions on how to customize Magellan to suit your needs. Programming User Codes User codes allow access to the system.
It is recommended that you change the default System Master code to a code of your choosing. This will prevent unauthorized users from accessing and modifying options. Duress User Code If enabled by your installer, User code 016 can be programmed as a Duress code. If you are forced to arm or disarm your system, entering the user code for User 016 will arm or disarm your system and immediately transmit a silent alarm (Duress code) to your monitoring station.

After receiving the message, press the [#] key on the telephone twice to acknowledge and end the message.
• Non-medical Emergency alarm: Use this report type to have the Magellan console call you when specific users require nonmedical emergency assistance. When the programmed users press the appropriate key on their remote controls (see Remote Controls on page 7), the Magellan console will make a buzzing sound and then call one or both programmed telephone numbers. After entering the menu, select the desired user(s) that you wish reported.
