
There must be an adequate wire run
behind the Marine Magellan, Artion, and
the Artion Battery Backup Case (if
applicable) so wiring is not exposed.
Exposed wires compromise the systems
security as intruders could cut essential
communication lines. The installer must
properly research the proposed
locations of the devices so they have a
clear unobstructed wire run. The Marine
Magellan head unit and Artion unit
should be powered up and
communicating with no wire susceptible
to tampering.

The Artion should be as high as
possible on your vessel, mounted above
the water line for best cellular
communication, and located within 12 ft
of the Marine Magellan head unit. Use
the included 3 ft. extension cable to
extend the antenna and assist with the
clarity of the call.

It is important that the Artion be
accessible but not visible. This is
because in the event of an alarm, you
do not want the communication tool
exposed to any thieves. Possible
places include inside cabinets or behind
removable panels.
Section 2: Mounting
Once you have found an adequate
location for the Marine Magellan, Artion, and
the Artion Battery Backup Case (if
Applicable) according to the criteria on the
previous pages, it is time to mount them.
Marine Magellan
The Marine Magellan uses a plastic wall
plate for wall mounting (Diagram 2). If
mounting the unit on the wall you must first
pop out the rectangular cutout labeled D on
the plate to allow wiring access.
Diagram 2
The Marine Magellan can be mounted on a
wall by first securing the wall plate to the
wall and then mounting the console on the
secured wall plate.
1.) Place the wall plate on the desired spot
of the wall.
2.) Drill and insert screws into holes labeled
A as shown Diagram 2
3.) With the Rectangular cutout D removed
you must now drill a 5/8 inch hole into the
wall as to allow for wiring access from the
rear of the Marine Magellan.
