X10 Transmitter Connection

Magellan supports the X10 communication protocol. X10 is a communication protocol for remote control of electrical devices such as lamps and appliances. Communication is accomplished through standard household electrical wiring using X10 transmitters and receivers. Configure Magellan, with the use of an X10 transmitter, to automate a home. Connect the X10 transmitter as shown in Figure 9 on page 9.

Refer to the Magellan X10 Instructions on our website, www.paradox.ca, for information on using and configuring Magellan’s X10 feature.

Location and Mounting

Location

The locations of Magellan and its wireless transmitters affect the overall performance of the wireless system. To ensure the best signal reception, the following list of location criteria should be respected whenever possible:

•

Select an installation site that is free of obstacles that reflect

 

and absorb radio frequency (RF) signals, as well as

 

interference that may distort signals. Avoid installation near

 

or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e. neon lights,

 

computers), and on or near metal objects, circuit breakers

1.Connect one end of the 4- pin RJ11 cable into the X10 plug of the console.

2.Connect the other end of the 4-pin RJ11 cable into the X10 transmitter.

3.Plug the X10 transmitter into a standard wall outlet.

boxes, air conditioners and heater ducts since they may

 

cause interference and reduce the console’s sensitivity.

•

Select a site that is not susceptible to drastic temperature

 

changes.

•

Mount the Magellan console as central as possible to the

 

proposed placement of the wireless transmitters.

•

Mount the Magellan console as high as possible.

•

Avoid installing Magellan in the basement as the range of

 

the console is reduced when installed below ground level.

 

However, if it is absolutely necessary to install the console in

 

the basement, install the console as high as possible.

•

Install the Magellan console on a wall allowing at least 5cm

 

(2”) around the console to permit adequate ventilation and

 

heat dissipation.

Connecting a Paradox Memory Key (PMC-3)

When using a Paradox Memory Key with a Magellan console, remove power (both AC and battery power), connect the memory key to the 5-pin connector on the back of the Magellan console as shown in Figure 10 on page 9. Once connected, re-apply power to the console. For more information, see Programming Using a Paradox Memory Key on page 11.

The Wall Plate

Magellan uses a plastic wall plate to stay mounted on a wall. The wall plate is also used for tabletop mounting to cover the back of the console as well as keep any wires within their respective wire slots. After choosing an appropriate location (see Location on page 9), mount the wall plate onto the Magellan console with two screws as described in Mounting Magellan on the Wall on page 10 or Tabletop Mounting on page 10.
