Zone Programming
Magellan supports up to 32 wireless zones whereby each zone
can be configured with a different zone definition and option.
Each zone can also have a voice label recorded for it. Magellan’s
zones can be programmed using section programming or
through the Installer menu.
See Quick Setup on page 4 for more information on zone
programming using the Installer menu.
Zone Programming Overview
After assigning and setting up your wireless transmitters, define
the associated zone's parameters. The zone parameters define
the type of zone and how the control panel will react when an
alarm condition occurs on that zone. These zone parameters are
programmed into one section as detailed in Figure 19 on page
15.
Figure 19: Magellan Zone Programming Overview
Zone Definitions
Sections [001] to [032] represent zones 1 through 32
respectively, whereby the first three digits in each of these
sections represents the zone's definition. To disable a zone,
enter 000 and then press the [#] key. There are 15 available
Zone Definitions, which are described as follows:
Entry Delay 1
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 001
When the system is armed and a zone defined with Entry Delay
1 opens, the console will generate an alarm after the
programmed Entry Delay 1 Timer elapses. This is to provide
users with enough time to enter the protected area and disarm
the system. Entry Delay zones are commonly used at the entry/
exit points of the protected area (i.e., front/back door, garage,
etc.). Using different Entry Delays (see Entry Delay 2 below) is
useful when, for example, one entry point requires a longer delay
than another entry point.
Entry Delay 1 Timer
Section [060]: 001 to 255 seconds; 000 = Disabled; Default
= 45 seconds
Enter the desired 3-digit delay value from 000 to 255
seconds into section [060] to program the Entry Delay 1
Timer.
Entry Delay 2
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 002
Entry Delay 2 zones are identical to the Entry Delay 1 zones (see
Entry Delay 1 on page 15), except it uses a separate Entry Delay
Timer.
Entry Delay 2 Timer
Section [061]: 001 to 255 seconds; 000 = Disabled; Default
= 45 seconds
Enter the desired 3-digit delay value from 000 to 255
seconds into section [061] to program the Entry Delay 2
Timer.
Follow Zones
Sections [001] to [032]: Zones 1 to 32, 3-digit # = 003
When an armed Follow zone opens, the console will immediately
generate an alarm unless an Entry Delay zone opens first as
described in the situations below:
• If an armed Follow zone opens after an Entry Delay zone
opens, the console waits until the Entry Delay Timer has
elapsed before generating an alarm.
• If an armed Follow zone opens after more than one Entry
Delay zone opens, the console will wait until the Entry Delay
Timer of the zone that opened first has elapsed.
This feature is commonly used when a motion detector is
protecting the area occupied by the entry point keypad. This will
prevent the motion detector from causing an alarm when a user
enters through the entry point to disarm the system.
