Installation Guide

12 Reference & Installation Manual
User Codes
A person must be assigned to a user code in order to have
access to Magellan. A user code defines the extent of a user’s
access to the system and consists of a code # (PIN) and user
options. Magellan supports one Installer code, one Maintenance
code and up to 16 user codes (one System Master code and 15
User codes).
User Code Length
Section [090]: Option [1]
Option [1] OFF = 6-digit user codes
Option [1] ON = 4-digit user codes (default)
All user codes can be set to lengths of either 4 or 6 digits. When
the 4-digit option is selected, entering a 4-digit code will allow
access. Using the 6-digit option, entering 6 digits is required to
allow access.
If the User Code Length is changed from 4 digits to 6 digits
when user codes have already been programmed, the
console will automatically add the last 2 digits by using the
first 2 digits. For example, if the access code is 1234 and
you switch to 6 digits, the code will become 123412. Be
sure to verify the access codes after switching from 4-digit
to 6-digit access codes. When switching from 6 digits to 4
digits, the console will simply remove the final 2 digits of
the access code. For example, 123456 will become 1234.
Installer Code
Section [181]; Default = 000000
The Installer code is used to enter the console's programming
mode (see Programming Using the Built-in Keypad on page 11),
which allows you to program all the features, options and
commands of the Magellan console. The Installer code can be 4-
or 6-digits in length (see User Code Length on page 12) where
each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. The Installer code
cannot be used to program any user code.
To change the Installer code:
1. Access the installer programming mode (page 11).
2. Enter section [181].
3. Enter a new [4-
OR 6- DIGIT INSTALLER CODE ].
OR
1. Press [ MENU ] + [4] + [ INSTALLER CODE ] + [8] + [ NEW CODE ].
Maintenance Code
Section [182]; Default = 111111
The Maintenance code is similar to the Installer code. It can be
used to enter the console’s programming mode (see
Programming Using the Built-in Keypad on page 11), which
allows you to program all features, options and commands
except
for the console’s communication settings (sections [100]
to [154]) as well as any user code. The Maintenance code can
be 4 or 6 digits in length (see User Code Length on page 12)
where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9.
To change the Maintenance code:
1. Access the installer programming mode (page 11).
2. Enter section [182].
3. Enter a new [4-
OR 6- DIGIT MAINTENANCE CODE ].
OR
1. Press [ MENU ] + [4] + [ INSTALLER CODE ] + [8] + [ NEW CODE ].
System Master Code
With the System Master code a user can use any arming method
and can program any user’s (from 1 to 16) Access Code. The
System Master code can be 4 or 6 digits in length (see User
Code Length on page 12), where each digit can be any digit from
0 to 9. The System Master code cannot be changed by the
installer or maintenance code, but it can be reset to default.
Lock System Master Code
Section [090]: Option [3]
Option [3] OFF =System Master code unlocked (default)
Option [3] ON =System Master code locked
With section [090] option [3] enabled, the System Master code
can only be changed or deleted through WinLoad or a power
down reset.
Reset System Master Code
Section [200]
Enter section [200] to reset the System Master code to default
(1234/123456).
Make sure that the Lock System Master Code feature (section
[090] option [3]) is disabled.
Duress Code
Section [090]: Option [4]
Option [4] OFF = Duress code disabled (default)
Option [4] ON = User code 016 becomes a duress code
With this feature enabled, user code 016 becomes a Duress
code. When forced to arm or disarm their system, users can
enter a Duress code (user code 016) to arm or disarm the system
which can immediately transmit a silent alert to the Central
Station, transmitting the duress report code programmed in
section [140] (page 25).
Installer Code Used to program all console settings
except User codes and Remote Controls
Maintenance Code Identical to the Installer code except that
the code cannot program dialer options or
perform a software reset.
System Master Code
User Code 001
Provides access to the following Magellan
user features: language, voice and utility
reporting, delays and tones, zone labels,
system tests. Arm and disarm using any
method as well as program User Codes.
15 User Codes
User Codes 002 to 016
Can arm and disarm the system.
