Advanced Features
Programming Access Codes
Access codes are personal identification numbers that allow you to enter certain programming modes, arm or disarm your system as well
as activate or deactivate PGMs. The Magellan security system supports the following:
• 1 System Master Code
• 2 Master Codes
• 29 User Access Codes
For information on how each access code can arm or disarm the system refer to the System Checklist on page 13.
System Master Code (Default: 123456)
The System Master Code can arm or disarm any partition using any of the methods described in this section and can create, modify
or delete any user access code (see Programming Access Codes below).
Master Codes
Master Code 1 is permanently assigned to Partition 1 and can be used to create, modify or delete user access codes (see
Programming Access Codes below) that are assigned to Partition 1.
Master Code 2 is permanently assigned to Partition 2 (except when partitioning is disabled, Master Code 2 will be assigned to
Partition 1) and can be used to create, modify or delete user access codes that are assigned to the same partition.
Master Codes cannot modify or delete user access codes assigned to both partitions. Only the System Master Code can modify or delete
user access codes assigned to both partitions.
Duress Code
If you are forced to arm or disarm your system, entering the access code with the duress option enabled will arm or disarm the
system and immediately transmit a silent alert (Duress Code) to the monitoring station.
Must be enabled by your installer.
Programming Access Codes
Your system can use either 4- or 6-digit access codes (see page 15), where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. Six-digit codes
are considered more difficult to “crack” and therefore, more secure. Avoid programming simple or obvious access codes, such as
your telephone number, address or codes such as 1234. Also, see the Master Quick Menu at the back of the manual.
How do I program Access Codes?
1. Press the [] key.
2. Enter your [
SYSTEM MASTER CODE] or either [MASTER CODE].
3. The [] key will flash. When a key is lit (not flashing), the user is already programmed..
4. Select a user by entering a 2-digit user number (i.e. [0]+[9] for user 9) or use the scroll keys and then press [
ENTER].
5. Enter a new 4- or 6-digit [
ACCESS CODE].
6. Confirm the code.
7. Press a button on the designated remote or press [
ENTER] to skip if there is no remote to program.
8. Press [1] and/or [2] to assign the user to a partition. Press [
ENTER]. If your system is partitioned and you are using the Master
Code, the menu will now jump to the next available user, if you choose to continue.
How do I delete Access Codes?
1. Press the [] key.
2. Enter your [
SYSTEM MASTER CODE] or either [MASTER CODE].
3. Select a user by entering a 2-digit user number (i.e. user 9 = 09).
4. Press the [SLEEP] key until you hear the confirmation beep.
