Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Marine Magellan wireless security and
monitoring system for your yacht (Diagram 1). The system is designed to provide reliable
protection giving you true piece of mind when you are away from your vessel. This guide is
designed to walk the installer through the complete setup and basic wireless programming of the
Marine Magellan System. Please read the manual thoroughly before beginning. It is
recommended that the installer have a basic understanding of electrical fundamentals and
adheres to the ABYC standards of marine electronics.

Section 1:
Installation Consideration
The placement of the individual
components of the Marine Magellan system
is very important. The installer must make
sure that adequate security concerns and
end user “ease of use”are taken into
account. Reference the following guidelines
before drilling any holes or running any
wires.
Supply Voltage
The Marine Magellan wireless security
and monitoring system must be installed in
an adequate and well thought out location
on your vessel. The system can be
powered from the vessels 110 AC (VAC)
supply and stepped down through our 16
VAC transformers. It can also be powered
by the vessels domestic battery banks 12
volts DC (VDC). It is important to establish
what voltage supply best suits your vessels
needs. Typically an AC power source is
used on all vessels that have a constant AC
source from shore power or a generator.
Powering the system through the vessels
battery banks is typically done on smaller
boats where AC power is not constant
Wire needs
-18 AWG / 2 conductor wire
Approximately 20 ft.
- Communication wire / 2 conductors
Telephone wire, Cat 5, or similar
approximately 12 ft.
AC installation
There must be a constant 110 VAC
source in the vicinity of the units for power.
The 16 VAC transformer must plug into the
110 VAC outlet. It is suggested that an
isolated outlet be installed strictly for the
plug in transformer(s). The 16 VAC output
feeds to the Marine Magellan head unit and
another transformer can feed to the Artion
Battery backup board. The Artion Battery
backup converts this 16 VAC to 12 VDC
while charging the battery backup for the
Artion. It is important that this AC source be
constantly powered when the boat is not
being used. It is suggested that you power
the system off of its own breaker.
DC installation
There must be a constant 12 Volt DC
(Direct Current) source in the vicinity of the
units for power. This 12 VDC must feed the
Marine Magellan and the Artion GSM
module directly. On DC installations the
Artion battery backup is not used.
Location Considerations
The Marine Magellan and the Artion
GSM Module must be mounted on the
interior of vessel. They should be
located as centrally as possible to all the
proposed zones. This area must be
clear from moisture and not susceptible
to drastic temperature changes.

4
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.

5
Diagram 3
3. Place the console back plate flush against
the mounted wall
plate as shown in Diagram 3.
4. Slide the Marine Magellan’s open slots
labeled F (Diagram 3) onto the wall plate’s
tabs labeled B.
5. Gently apply downward pressure to insert
the wall plates
tabs into Marine Magellan’s open slots.
6. Once the Marine Magellan’s power and
communication wires are hooked up
(Electrical Installation, Page 8), Insert two
screws through the wall plate’s screw holes
labeled C and into holes labeled E (
Diagram 3 ) in the Marine Magellan back
plate. This will secure the console to the
wall.
Artion GSM Module
It is important that the GSM communication
module be mounted in such a location to
allow accessibility without obvious visibility.
Follow the steps below.
1.) Establish a proper location
2.) Mark the necessary holes to mount the
Artion and allow wiring access.
3.) Drill the mounting holes
4.) Drill the 5/8 wiring access hole
5.) Screw in the top two screws on the
left and right side of the area. Leave
approximately 1/8 inch between the wall
and the underside of the screw head.
6.) Feed your power, trigger and
communication wires through the wiring
hole.
7.) Place the GSM cellular module onto
the top two screws matching up the
respective holes and push downwards
to lock the unit into place.
8.) Depress the two tabs at the base of
the GSM cellular module and remove
the top Cover.
9.) Screw the final two screws on the
bottom of the GSM cellular module.
10.) Place cover back on Artion.
Artion Battery Backup
This case should be mounted in the vicinity
of the Artion. There are four screw holes
inside the metal case at all corners
(Diagram 5).

Section 3: Electrical Installation
* Power should be denied when
making all electrical connections.
Only apply power when all wire
connections have been doubled
checked for proper setup.
This section closely describes how to
power the essential components of the
system for both AC and DC installations. It
also shows how to hook up the Ring and Tip
communication wires between the Marine
Magellan Head unit and the Artion GSM
module. A basic final wiring setup for the
typical AC and DC installations can be
referenced on Appendage 1 and Appendage
2 respectively.
AC power setup
Marine Magellan
The AC plug in transformer supplies
voltage to both the Marine Magellan
Console and the battery backup supply.
The 110 VAC supply to the outlet should be
on its own breaker. If the installer must tap
into an existing outlet to get power, make
sure that the existing breaker is properly
current rated for the additional outlet. In
either case, the AC breaker must be left on
while away from boat.
Connect the two conductor wire to the
“AC”inputs of the Marine Magellan. On the
other end, connect the two wires to the
output screw terminals on the AC
transformer (Diagram 6). It is suggested
that you crimp on spade connectors to the
wire for a secure connection to the
transformer. Since the voltage source is
AC, the two connections are
interchangeable between the two inputs.
Battery Backup
The external battery backup case has
been designed to supply a constant 12 VDC
to the Artion GSM module. It simply takes
the 16 VAC input from the transformer,
inverts it to 12 VDC, and charges the
backup battery (Diagram 7). This device is
only used during AC installations.

DC power Setup
Marine Magellan
The Marine Magellan panel can easily
be powered from the vessels 12VDC
system. Simply get a constant voltage
source to the unit from the vessels battery
banks or domestic bus (Diagram 8). It is
suggested that the installer fuse protect the
Marine Magellan system by placing an in-
line 1 amp fuse on the Positive input wire
(not supplied).
Marine Magellan
Internal Battery Backup
The Marine Magellan uses its own
backup battery pack to provide power during
a power loss. This is not to be confused
with the Artion Battery Backup. A 7.2Vdc
1.8Ah NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
rechargeable battery pack is included with
the Marine Magellan console. Connect as
shown in Diagram 9.
Artion GSM Module
The Artion GSM module simply needs a
constant 12 VDC to operate
(Diagram 10). In AC installations this power
comes from the battery backup case. In DC
installations, this power comes from the
primary domestic source.
Communication Lines
Marine Magellan to Artion
With the power establish for all the
devices, it is now time to hook up the
communication wire between the Marine
Magellan and the Artion GSM Module.
Simply connect the “Line Out”of the Artion
GSM module to the “Line In”of the Marine
Magellan. The “Line Out”of the Artion has a
tip “T”and ring “R”. The general rule when
hooking up this line is red goes to ring and
green goes to tip. There are two options for
connecting to the “Line in”of the Marine
Magellan. The first option is a line plug in
connection through an RJ-11 (Diagram 11).
The second option is a direct connection to
the “Ring”and “Tip”(Diagram 12).

Section 4: Programming
With the Marine Magellan and Artion
GSM module now powered up and
communicating with each other, it is time to
program the different areas of the system.
Upon initial startup of system, you are
brought to the “System Setup”menu. As
you go through this programming guide, you
will see screen shots of the Marine
Magellan. The complete layout of the
programming menus can be referenced on
Appendage 7. The installer may wish to
install the zones (wireless sensors) and
PGMS (relays) before programming (See 6
–Zone Profile and 7 –Output Profile) Note
1 - Language
The Marine Magellan system is
available in a variety of different languages.
French and English are preloaded, to add
additional languages you will need to
upgrade the firmware. This is a very simple
process that will require the use of the
Paradox UIP-256 and a laptop computer.
Contact Paradox Marine for language
upgrades on your panel.
that the black shaded buttons represent the
button that you need to press. When
navigating through the different menus,
press the center key to go to the “next”
screen. To access the “System Setup”
menu:
1.) Press “menu”from the main screen
2.) Press “ok”and ‘next’to navigate
menu
Select the desired language by pressing the
appropriate number on the main keypad
2 - User Profile
You can program up to sixteen different
users on your Marine Magellan panel. For
security reasons, once you change the
master code (User 1) from the default “1234”
you will be prompted to enter the master
code every time that you enter the system
setup menu. A User is defined as a person
with access to the system via a pass code
and/or key fob remote. Common examples
of the Master, user 2, and user 3 are the
owner, captain, and first mate respectively.
Every user can have only one remote each

13
for a total 16 maximum remotes on the
system. In this section you have the ability
to change user passwords, user voice
labels, and add/delete remotes.
System Master Code
With the System Master code a user can
use any arming method and can program
any user’s (from 1 to 16) access Code. The
System Master is four digits (default), where
each digit can be any number from 0 to 9.
(Default: 1234)
User Codes
A person must be assigned to a user
code in order to have access to the Marine
Magellan. A user code defines the extent of
a user’s access to the system and consists
of a code # (PIN) and user options. The
Marine Magellan supports one System
Master code and 15 User codes.
1. From the “User Profile”menu, press “ok”.
2. Select which user you wish to add/modify
by pressing “next”. When the desired user
appears, press “ok”and follow the menus to
set:
3.) Enter your new user code
4.) Confirm the code to assure proper entry.
5.) Once you press “yes”you will be
prompted to record a user label. The user

14
label is the person who will be using that
password. (Examples: captain, first mate,
owner, etc.)
6.) To program a remote to that user press
“yes”otherwise press “no”. Only one remote
can be programmed per user.
7.) When prompted to “Press any button on
Remote”, depress any button for 1 second
on your REM1 or REM2 remote control
(Diagram 13).

3 –Communicator
In this section you will assign the various
call-out telephone numbers for the various
recipients. Upon receiving the call, the user
will hear the prerecorded voice label of the
boat name and the condition that exists.
Since the Marine Magellan system sends its
alarm and event notifications directly to the
end user, no central reporting setup is
necessary.
From the “Communicator”menu
Press “ok”.
Voice Report
The voice report can send out alarm
events to up to five different numbers. By
default whenever an alarm occurs on the
vessel, the first number will receive a call. If
that recipient does not acknowledge the
alarm or disarm the system, the call will
disconnect and move on to the second
number. This process continues in this
fashion through to fifth recipient and then
begins the cycle again two more times To
add recipients, see below:

15
1.) From the “Voice Report”menu
Press “ok”.
2.) From the “Add Tel. # 1”menu
Press “ok”.
3.) Enter your first telephone recipient. The
pause feature allows a 1 second space
during callouts (for Charles phone or
satellite phone headers). It is not necessary
to dial a “1”before the area code.
4.) Continue in this fashion until all the
recipients have been entered and it prompts
you to “Record Alarm Mes?”
5.) Once you press “ok”you will be
prompted to record an alarm message
6.) Say the name of the boat after the tone
and press “stop”when done.
7.) You can listen to the recording by
pressing “play”, re-record by pressing “no”,
or accept it by pressing “yes”
8.) Now go back into the communicator
screen by pressing “next”or pressing “3”.

16
9.) From the “Communicator”menu
Press “ok”.
Utility Reporting
Utility reporting is an option that sends out a
pre-recorded message for specific utility
events on your panel to any two designated
numbers. The Utility reporting programs the
same method as “Voice Reporting”(See
Above). The three specific events that can
be set up are below. Only one of these
events will work at one time.
Report Types
•Disarm with user: Use this report type to
program the Magellan console to call you
when specific users disarm the system. After
entering the menu, select the desired
user(s) that you wish reported. This feature
is useful when you wish to know when
specific
people disarm the system.
For example, you can program the Marine
Magellan to call you whenever your captain
disarms your system thus informing you that
he is aboard.
System troubles: Use this report type to
have the Marine Magellan console call you
when specific troubles occur. After entering
the menu, select the desired trouble(s) you
wish to be notified about. This feature can
be used to inform you of a power failure on
your vessel and internal battery failure of the
Marine Magellan panel.
•Zone activation: When a specified zone is
breached or opened, the Marine Magellan
console will call one or both of the
programmed telephone numbers. After
entering this menu, select the desired zones
you wish affected. Use this feature to be
informed when a specific zone is breached.
For example, if you have a safe on your
vessel, you can have the Marine Magellan
call you whenever the safe is opened or
breached.
Select “ok”and chose the specific
type of utility report you want the
recipient to receive.

17
4 –Delays and Tones
This menu allows you to set entry / exit
times as well as associated sounds for the
Marine Magellan. Below are the definitions
of the different functions within this menu.
Select “ok”to go into the
Delays and Tones menu
Entry Delay 1 –The entry delay 1 is the
amount of time that the user has to disarm
the Marine Magellan system from an armed
state. It is engaged whenever a “delay 1”
zone is opened (see 6 - zone profile). By
default it is 45 seconds. After the time delay
screen you can change the entry tone that
you will hear.
Entry Delay 2 –This entry delay is identical
to the first except it is engaged whenever a
delay 2 zone opens (see 6 - zone profile).
Exit Delay –The Exit Delay determines the
amount of time a user has to leave the
protected area before the Marine Magellan
arms the system. The Exit Delay applies to
all zones (except 24 Hr zones) in the
system.
Bell Cutoff Delay –This is the amount of
time that the Marine Magellan will sound its
internal sirens during an alarm event. The
system will stay in alarm after this time is up.
However the Bell cutoff delay will reinitialize
if a zone is opened again. The default bell
cut-off delay is 4 minutes.
Bell Squawk –This feature enables the siren
to squawk once
upon arming with a remote control and twice
upon disarming with a remote control.
5 –System Test
This feature allows you to test all the
different functions of the system to check for
proper operation. Simply select the entity
that you wish to check (zones, outputs,
remotes, etc) and trigger them. The Marine
Magellan will announce the event and
confirm proper operation.
Press “ok”to begin system test

18
6 - Zone Profile
Description
Zones are defined as the assorted
wireless sensors that transmit open/close
conditions to the Marine Magellan. This
section describes how to program the
various zones. These zones come in the
form of door contacts, motion detectors,
smoke detectors, high water alarms, and low
voltage detectors to name the most
common. The Marine Magellan system can
hold up to 32 of these zones. Whenever
any of these zones batteries start getting
low, the Marine Magellan will be alerted and
display an information key on the screen
(See Appendage 4). Essentially, the
installer must get into the “add zone x”(x =
1-32). Once “ok”is pressed for the zone
that you are adding, it will prompt you to
“Press tamper or Press Learn Btn.”
Learn Mode allows Marine Magellan to
look for an open wireless signal from a zone
and place it into a designated position in the
console. Before you “learn”the assorted
zones into your Marine Magellan Panel, it is
important to understand the fundamentals of
the most commonly used zone definitions
and programming techniques.
Zone Definitions
A zone definition is the type of reaction
the installer wants when that zone gets
breached. There are assortments of
definitions that can associate with a zone.
The most common definitions are outlined
below:
Entry Delay 1
Typical position: Primary entry
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 boat.
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 2
Typical Position: Secondary Entry Door
Contacts
This zone is identical to the Entry Delay 1
zones, except it uses a separate Entry Delay
Timer.
Follow Zones
Typical Position: Interior Motion Detectors
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

19
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.
Follow/Stay Zones
Typical Position: Interior Motion Detectors
Follow/Stay zones function as follows:
•All zones defined as Follow/Stay zones
become Follow
zones when the Marine Magellan system is
Regular armed.
•All zones defined as Follow/Stay zones
become Stay zones
when the Marine Magellan system is Stay or
Instant armed.
Instant Zones
Typical Position: Door contacts on Hatches
When an armed Instant zone opens, the
console immediately
generates an alarm. Instant zones are
commonly used for
windows, patio doors, skylights and other
perimeter type zones.
Instant/Stay Zones
Typical Position: Door contacts on Hatches
The Instant/Stay zones function as
follows:
•All zones defined as Instant/Stay zones
become Instant
zones when the Marine Magellan system is
Regular armed.
•All zones defined as Instant/Stay zones
become Stay zones
when the Marine Magellan system is Stay or
Instant armed.
Delayed Fire Zones
Typical Position: Smoke Detectors
When a Delayed 24Hr. Fire zone opens,
whether it is armed or
disarmed, the console will react. Delayed
24Hr. Fire zones are commonly used in
galleys where a smoke detector often
generates false alarms (i.e., burning bread,
etc.).
24Hr. Buzzer Zones
Typical Position: High Water and Low
Battery Voltage zones
This zone definition is used in cases where
you want an alarm notification whether the
system is armed or disarmed.
•Whenever a 24Hr. Buzzer zone opens,
whether the console
is armed or disarmed, the console sets off
the keypad’s
buzzer to indicate that the zone was
breached.
•The console will report the alarm, but will
not enable the bell/
siren output.
•Enter any valid Access code on the keypad
to stop the buzzer.

Zone Hardware Descriptions
This section loosely describes the basic
operation of the assorted zones for the
system. For more specific data on the
individual sensors please reference the
guides included in the box of each particular
sensor.
DCTXP2
“Magnet Reed Switch”
Typical Position: Entry Doors and Hatches
Typical Zone Definition:
Delay or Instant
Power: 2 x “AAA”
Description: This device detects open/close
states thru an on board magnet switch. The
fixed door contact must be located in a
position where the moving magnet comes
within ½ inch of the magnet reed switch
when the door opens and closes. The
magnet reed switch is marked by the
triangle on the upper right side of the door
contact casing (Diagram 14 and 15).
DCTXP2
“Universal Transmitter Input”
Typical Position: Any location where
secondary sensing applications are needed.
Typical Zone Definition:
Delay or Instant
Power: 2 x “AAA”
Description: This device can be installed in
another fashion utilizing is its universal
inputs. These two input terminals accept a
variety of different sensing applications. The
purpose of this option is for secondary
sensor inputs. The most common examples
of this application are the High Water, Low
Voltage Sensors, and recessed door magnet
sensors. The DCTXP2 Universal input
simply needs to see a open/close state
change. Open the cover of the DCTXP2
and reference Diagram 15.
Powering the Unit
Verify proper polarity and insert two
alkaline “AAA”batteries. After inserting
batteries, a power up sequence will begin
(10-20 seconds) during which the door
contact will not
detect an open zone or tamper.
Low Battery
The door contact performs a battery test
every 12 hours. If the voltage is below 2.3V
after four consecutive battery tests (48 hrs.),
the red LED will flash at 5 second intervals
and the MG-DCTXP2 will transmit a low
battery signal
Diagram 14
