Programming Methods

WinLoad Installer Upload/Download Software

Program the Magellan console remotely or on-site using the WinLoad Installer Upload/Download Software for Windows®. For more information, contact your local Paradox Distributor or visit our Web site at www.paradox.ca. If you are using the WinLoad software, you must program the features explained on page 33.

Please refer to WinLoad’s Online Help for more information on using WinLoad.

Programming Using the Built-in Keypad

Use the built-in keypad to access Magellan’s programming mode.

Use the supplied Magellan Programming Guide to keep track of which sections were programmed and how.

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].

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 as well as in the Magellan Programming Guide. When entering the final digit in a section, Magellan will automatically save and advance to the next section. Table 1 (see below) shows the keys and their equivalent decimal and/or hexadecimal value.

Feature Select Programming Method

After entering certain sections, eight options will be displayed where each option from [1] to [8] represents a specific feature or option. To manipulate the options:

Press the key corresponding to the desired option and the option number will appear in the LCD display. This means the option is ON. Press the key again to remove the digit from the LCD display, thereby, turning OFF the option.

Press the [*] key to set all eight options to OFF. Press the keys until the current section’s options are set. When the options are set, press the [#] key to save and advance to the next section.

Press the [*] key twice to exit without changing any data.

Programming Using a Paradox Memory Key

The Paradox Memory Keys (PMC-3) are very useful when multiple Magellan consoles are to be programmed identically.

Rather then programming each console by entering its programming mode and then scrolling through programming sections, use a memory key to program each console. The programming of a console with a memory key takes approximately three seconds.

There are two actions that can be performed with a memory key.

Download Data to Destination Console

To download the data of a memory key into a console:

1.Remove power from the Magellan console (AC and battery) and connect the memory key to the 5-pin connector on the left side of the back of the console (see Figure 10 on page 9).

2.Re-apply both AC and battery power to the console.

3.Press the [OK] key and Magellan will begin downloading the data from the memory key.

Copy Data to Memory Key from Source Console

To copy the contents of a console into the memory key.

1.Remove power from the Magellan console (AC and battery) and connect the memory key to the 5-pin connector on the left side of the back of the console (see Figure 10 on page 9).

2.Re-apply both AC and battery power to the console.

3.Press the [NEXT] key and then the [OK] key. Magellan will begin copying its data into the memory key.

The installer code of the Magellan console used to download data to the memory key must be the same installer code programmed in the Magellan console that is to download the contents from the same memory key. If the installer codes do not match, the contents of the memory key cannot be downloaded into the receiving console.

Example: The contents of the Magellan console A will be copied into memory key B. The installer code for console A is 111111. In order to download the contents of memory key B into the Magellan console C, the installer code programmed in console C must also be 111111.
