Programming Methods
WinLoad Installer Upload/Download
Software
Program the Magellan console remotely or on-site using the
WinLoad Installer Upload/Download Software for Windows®. For
more information, contact your local Paradox Distributor or visit
our Web site at paradox.com. If you are using the WinLoad
software, you must program the features explained on page 38.
Please refer to WinLoad’s Online Help for more
information on using WinLoad.
Programming Using the Built-in Keypad
Use the built-in keypad to access Magellan’s programming
mode.
Use the supplied Magellan Programming Guide to keep
track of which sections were programmed and how.
To access programming mode:
1. Press and hold the [0] key.
2. Enter your [
INSTALLER CODE
] or [
MAINTENANCE CODE
].
3. Enter the 3-digit [
SECTION
] you wish to program.
4. Enter the required [
DATA
].
There are two methods that can be used to enter data when in
programming mode: Single Digit Data Entry and Feature Select
Programming.
Single Digit Data Entry Method
After entering programming mode, some sections will require
that you enter decimal values from 000 to 255. Other sections
will require that you enter hexadecimal values from 0 to F. The
required data will be clearly indicated in this manual as well as in
the Magellan Programming Guide. When entering the final digit
in a section, Magellan will automatically save and advance to the
next section. Table 1 (see below) shows the keys and their
equivalent decimal and/or hexadecimal value.

Feature Select Programming Method
After entering certain sections, eight options will be displayed
whereby each option from [1] to [8] represents a specific feature
or option. To manipulate the options:
• Press the key corresponding to the desired option and the
option number will appear in the LCD display. This means
the option is ON. Press the key again to remove the digit
from the LCD display, thereby, turning OFF the option.
• Press the [*] key to set all eight options to OFF. Press the
keys until the current section’s options are set. When the
options are set, press the [#] key to save and advance to the
next section.
• Press the [*] key twice to exit without changing any data.
Programming Using a Paradox Memory Key
The Paradox Memory Keys (PMC-3) are very useful when
multiple Magellan consoles are to be programmed identically.
Rather then programming each console by entering its
programming mode and then scrolling through programming
sections, use a memory key to program each console. The
programming of a console with a memory key takes
approximately three seconds.
There are two actions that can be performed with a memory key.
Download Data to Destination Console
To download the data of a memory key into a console:
1. Remove power from the Magellan console (AC and battery)
and connect the memory key to the 5-pin connector on the
left side of the back of the console (see Figure 13 on page
11).
2. Re-apply both AC and battery power to the console.
3. Press the [
OK
] key and Magellan will begin downloading the
data from the memory key.
Copy Data to Memory Key from Source Console
To copy the contents of a console into the memory key.
1. Remove power from the Magellan console (AC and battery)
and connect the memory key to the 5-pin connector on the
left side of the back of the console (see Figure 13 on page
11).
2. Re-apply both AC and battery power to the console.
3. Press the [
NEXT
] key and then the [
OK
] key. Magellan will
begin copying its data into the memory key.
The Installer code of the Magellan console used to
download data to the memory key must be the same
Installer code programmed in the Magellan console that is
to download the contents from the same memory key. If the
Installer codes do not match, the contents of the memory
key cannot be downloaded into the receiving console.
Example: The contents of the Magellan console A will be
copied into memory key B. The Installer code for console A
is 111111. In order to download the contents of memory key
B into the Magellan console C, the Installer code
programmed in console C must also be 111111.
