Paradox Magellan Systems 31
UL Note: The installer is required to verify the complete
compatibility of the DAC Receiver and formats at least
once per year.
If you are using any report format other than SIA in
sections [105] and [106] and you would like to transmit an
“A”, press [0] on the main keypad; if you would like to enter
a space (non-reportable digit), press the [1] key on the
center keypad.
Standard Pulse Formats
The Magellan console can use the Ademco slow, Silent Knight
and SESCOA standard pulse reporting formats (see Table 8 on
page 30).
Ademco Contact ID
Ademco Contact ID is a fast communicator format that uses tone
reporting instead of pulse reporting. This communicator format
also uses a pre-defined list of industry standard messages and
report codes that will suit most of your basic installation needs.
• To manually program the report codes, use the 2-digit
hexadecimal values from Appendix 2: Ademco Contact ID
Report Code List on page 41.
• Enter 00 to disable reporting or FF to use the default report
code from Appendix 1: Automatic Report Code List on page
39.
SIA FSK
SIA FSK is a fast communicator format that uses tone reporting
instead of pulse reporting. This communicator format uses a pre-
defined list of industry standard messages and report codes that
will suit most basic installation needs.
Please refer to Appendix 1: Automatic Report Code List on
page 39 for a complete list of the format’s pre-defined
industry standard messages and report codes.

The events are divided into five groups (see above) where each
event group can be programmed to dial up to three telephone
numbers (MSTN 1 & 2 and the Pager telephone number) with
one as a possible backup (see MSTN 2 as Backup Number on
page 29).
• When a reportable event occurs in the system, the Magellan
console will begin dialing the numbers sequentially starting
from MSTN 1 (if enabled), skipping any disabled numbers
and stopping once all selected telephone numbers have
been called.
• After eight failed attempts at trying to call the monitoring
station, the console will then dial the selected backup
telephone number (if enabled; see MSTN 2 as Backup
Number on page 29).
• If the Alternate Dial option (see page 31) is enabled, the
console will dial the programmed backup telephone number
(if enabled, see MSTN 2 as Backup Number on page 29)
after every failed attempt.
• If no backup telephone number is programmed or section
[099] option [1] is disabled (OFF, see page 31), the console
will never report to the backup telephone number.
For more information, please refer to Monitoring Station
Telephone Numbers (MSTNs) on page 29, Alternate Dial
Option on page 31, MSTN 2 as Backup Number on page
29 and Delay Between Dialing Attempts on page 31.
Example: The system is armed and zone 1 has been breached
causing an alarm. If options [5] and [7] are OFF and option [6] is
ON in section [100], the console will attempt to communicate
with MSTN 2 in order to transmit the Zone 1 Alarm Report Code
programmed in section [131].
Delay Between Dialing Attempts
Section [076]: 001 to 255 seconds; 000 = disabled; Default = 20
seconds
This delay determines the amount of time the Magellan console
will wait between each dialing attempt.
Alternate Dial Option
Section [098]: Option [5]
Option [5] OFF = Alternate dial disabled (default)
Option [5] ON = Alternate dial enabled
With option [5] OFF, the Magellan console will dial the
programmed backup telephone number MSTN 2 (see MSTN 2
as Backup Number on page 29) only after all attempts to call
MSTN 1 have failed. With option [5] ON, the console will dial the
backup telephone number after every failed attempt.
Force Dial Option
Section [098]: Option [6]
Option [6] OFF = Force dial disabled
Option [6] ON = Force dial enabled (default)
