Introduction

About Magellan and this Manual

Magellan is designed for fast and easy installation. Simply remove it from the box, mount the console and wireless transmitters, apply power and Magellan is ready to protect your home. Magellan has already been pre-programmed with the required settings for a basic security installation.

Some of Magellan’s features can be programmed through a quick Installer Menu (menu programming) or through section programming. Use the quick setup chapter (page 4) to install the Magellan console quickly and with the basic programming required for a standard security application. All other chapters (pages 6 to 33) are for advanced section programming. These other chapters provide more in-depth and precise information if more advanced programming is required.

We recommend that you read this entire manual before you begin installation.
