Overview
Thank you for selecting the Magellan Security System from Paradox Security Systems Ltd. This advanced technology security system
provides you with reliable security protection and powerful features that anyone can use without memorizing complex and confusing
codes. The system consists of the Magellan control panel, one or more Magellan keypad modules, various input devices (e.g. motion
detectors, door contacts, etc.) and various output devices (e.g. bells, sirens, lights, etc.).
The elegant and user-friendly Magellan MG10LEDV/H, MG32LED, and MG32LRF keypad modules allow you to easily access your
security system's functions and provide you with an easy-to-understand display of your security system's alarm and operational status.
All of the actions performed in your security system will be executed and displayed through the keypad. Therefore, before using your
security system, we highly recommend that you read this manual carefully and have your installer explain basic system operation to you.
Basic Operations
Auditory Feedback
When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you with beep tones that communicate acceptance or rejection of your
entries. You should be familiar with these two keypad beep tones:
Confirmation Beep: When an operation (e.g. arming/disarming) is successfully entered on the keypad or when the system switches
to a new status/mode, the keypad produces an intermittent beep tone (“
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).
Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to its previous status or when an operation is incorrectly entered on the keypad, it will emit
a continuous beep tone (“
BEEEEEEEEP”).
Visual Feedback
Keypad Indicator Lights: All Magellan keypads include coloured lights which convey the current status of your system. The state of
each light represents a specific condition in your system.
Many of the features in your system must be enabled by the installer. If the feature is not programmed, the keypad will emit a rejection beep
and the action will be cancelled. Refer to
System Checklist on page 16 for details.
