Magellan MG-6060 installation manual Programmable Outputs PGMs, Line Plug Connect, PGM Connections

For UL compliant installations, the Magellan console must be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in an emergency situation. It must be able to do this even if other equipment (telephones, answering machines, computer modems, etc.) already has the line in use. To do so, the Magellan console must be connected to a properly installed RJ31X jack that is electronically in series with and ahead of all other equipment attached to the same telephone line. Proper installation is depicted in the diagram below. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you should consult your telephone company about installing the RJ31X jack and the Magellan console for you.

Programmable Outputs (PGMs)

Magellan comes equipped with two 50mA solid-state PGM outputs. When a specific event occurs in the system, a PGM can be programmed to activate lights, garage door openers, etc. See Programmable Outputs on page 30 for more information on programming PGMs.

Connect Magellan’s PGM outputs as shown in Method 1 in Figure 5 on page 7. Since Magellan does not come with a power supply, an external power supply must be employed to power the circuit. The PGM outputs can be either Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.) as detailed in PGM Normal State on page 30.

If the current draw on the PGMs is to exceed 50mA, we recommend using an external relay as shown in Method 2 in Figure 5 on page 7.

Using Method 2, connect the device to the output terminal of the external relay that matches the normal state of Magellan’s PGM output. For example, if PGM1’s normal state is Normally Open (N.O.), connect the device to the N.O. terminal of the external relay.

Line Plug Connect

The Magellan console can also be connected to a telephone line via its on-board LINE plug. See Figure 4 on page 7 for more information on connecting the telephone line using this method.

When connecting via the LINE plug, if the telephone line is shared and it is busy (i.e. someone is talking on the telephone) the console will be unable to communicate with the Central Monitoring Station. It is recommended that the Direct Connect method (page 6) be used to connect the telephone line.
