How do I stop the Marine Magellan Console from intermittently beeping?

      The console emits an intermittent beep tone whenever a trouble condition occurs in the system. The intermittent beep tone remains activated until the user enters the Trouble Display by pressing the left [ACTION] key (I). The intermittent beeps will re-initialize whenever a new trouble occurs or the trouble restores and re-occurs.

     When the system experiences problems or is tampered with, the Information symbol (I) will appear on the LCD screen and the light will illuminate. The potential troubles that the Magellan system can experience are listed below.

To access the Trouble Display:

1. Press the key.

2. Use the [NEXT] key to scroll through the displayed troubles.

3. Press the [OK] key to view details on the desired trouble.


 How Do I program the various telephone numbers to call during an alarm event?

There are two types of reporting on the Marine Magellan called Voice Reporting and Utility Reporting.  The Voice report reports in alarm messages to up to five recipients.  The Utility Reporting numbers callout up to two different numbers to announce AC trouble, zone activation, and disarming by users.


 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:

  1. Press the button underneath “menu” on the screen
  2. Press “next” until you get to “4-System Setup”
  3. If prompted to, enter the Master code
  4. Press “next” until you get to “3-Communicator”
  5. From the “Voice Report” menu Press “ok”.
  6. From the “Add Tel. # 1” menu Press “ok”.
  7. Enter your first telephone recipient.  The pause feature allows a 1 second space during callouts (for Charles phone or satellite phone digits).  It is not necessary to dial a “1” before the area code.
  8. Continue in this fashion until all the recipients have been entered and it prompts you to “Record Alarm Message?”
  9. Once you press “ok” you will be prompted to record an alarm message       
  10. Say the name of the boat after  the  tone and press “stop” when done.                                          
  11. You can listen to the recording by pressing “play”, re-record by pressing “no”, or   accept it by pressing “yes”
  12. Now go back into the communicator screen by pressing “next” or pressing “3”.
  13. From the “Communicator” menu
  14. 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.   


Utility 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. 

  1. Select “ok” and chose the specific type of utility report you want the

      recipient to receive.

  1. Follow the same directions used for voice reporting to load the recipients in
     

 How Do I add users, access codes, and remotes  to  my Marine Magellan console?

The Marine Magellan system can have up to 16 different  users assigned to the system.  A  user  is defined as a person with an access code to disarm the system.  For every one user, there can be only one key fob remote. Conversely, for every key fob remote there must be a user assigned to it.  To change user information, follow the directions below.


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. Press the button underneath “menu” on the screen
  2. Press “next” until you get to “4-System Setup”
  3. If prompted to, enter the Master code
  4. From the “User Profile” menu, press “ok”.
  5. Select which user you wish to add/modify by pressing “next”. When the desired user appears, press “ok” and follow the menus to set:
  6.  Enter your new user code
  7. Confirm the code to assure proper entry.
  8. Once you press “yes” you will be prompted to record a user label.  The user label is the person who will be using that password.  (Examples: captain, first mate, owner, etc.)      
  9. To program a remote to that user press “yes” otherwise press “no”.  Only one remote can be programmed per user.
  10. When prompted to “Press any button on Remote”, depress any button for 1 second on your REM1 or REM2 remote control (Diagram 13).

Once I receive a call from the Marine Magellan, how do I acknowledge the event and stop the callout from going to the next number?

When a call is sent out via the voice or utility report, you have three options to stop the call out.  The first option is to press “# #”, this will immediately hang up the call but not shut the alarm off.  The second option is to press the number “1” and go into speakerphone mode.  Once the two way communication is established press “#”.  This action will immediately hang up the call but not shut the alarm off. The third option is to press the number “2” and then enter your user code to completely disarm the system and stop the call-out.
