Paradox Magellan Systems 7
Installation
AC Power
Magellan requires a 12Vac (1A) or 16.5Vac (1A) transformer (not
included) to supply power to the console. Connect the
transformer to the
AC
terminals as shown in Figure 1 on page 7.
Magellan can also be powered through a DC power supply.
Connect a 12Vdc to 18Vdc (1A) power supply to the
AC
terminals to power the console. The alternate DC power supply
is not for use in UL installations.
Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.

DC Power
Magellan can also be powered through a DC power supply.
Connect a 12Vdc to 18Vdc (1A) power supply to the
AC
terminals
to power the console. Connect the transformer to the
AC
terminals as shown in Figure 2 on page 7.

Backup Battery Pack
Magellan uses a backup battery pack to provide power during a
power loss. A 7.2Vdc 1.8Ah NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
rechargeable battery pack is included with the Magellan console.
Connect the battery pack as shown in Figure 3 on page 7.
Connect the backup battery pack after applying AC power.
Figure 3: Connecting the Backup Battery
To order a battery pack, the battery pack’s part number is:
Paradox# 0780100178.
The backup battery can support Magellan during an AC failure
for 24 hours when in standby mode.
Auxiliary Output
The auxiliary power supply terminals can be used to power
motion detectors. The combined current consumption of devices
connected to the auxiliary power supply should not exceed
200mA. If the auxiliary output is overloaded and is shut down,
you must disconnect all loads from the output for at least 10
seconds before reconnecting any load back to the auxiliary
output.
