Magellan MG-2WPGM - Two-Way Wireless PGM Manual

Overview

1. Jumper / Puente / Cavalier
   JP1 ON = Normally Closed (N.C.) zone
   
   JP1 OFF = Normally Open (N.O.) zone
   
2. RX LED / LED RX / DEL de réception

3. TX LED / LED TX / DEL de transmission
   Flashing red = sending information
4. RSSI LED / LED RSSI / DEL d'indication de puissance du signal reçu
   Yellow LED flashes twice = the signal is excellent
   Yellow LED flashes once = the signal is too weak
   Yellow LED does not flash at all = there is no signal

5. Relay LED / LED de Relé / DEL de relais
   Green LED is on = the relay is on

The Two-Way Wireless PGM provides one PGM for the Magellan console with two-way wireless communication between it and the PGM unit with a zone input. Adding to the exceptional security of the Magellan system is the Backup Alarm Reporting Option which allows you to supervise the communication between the Magellan console and the MG-2WPGM.

The PGM can be programmed to activate and deactivate (following an event or a delay) through the receiver. Please see the Magellan Reference & Installation Manual for more information.

Location & Mounting

The MG-2WPGM must be installed within 35m (115ft) of the Magellan console. Before you mount the MG-2WPGM, perform the signal strength tests to ensure optimal performance of the unit.

Do not cut, bend or alter the antenna. Avoid mounting the PGM module near or on metal as this may affect transmission.

Powering the Unit

The unit requires either AC or DC power input. Refer to Figure 1 on the reverse side for wire connections.

AC: 6Vac (500mA) to 16.5Vac (200mA)
DC: 5Vdc (500mA) to 20Vdc (200mA)

Signal Strength Test

To test the signal strength of the Magellan console with the MG-2WPGM:

1. Place the MG-2WPGM where you want to install it.
2. Perform a transmission by pressing the anti-tamper switch or by opening the zone that is connected to the PGM.
3. Check the RSSI LED to see if it is flashing. Refer to LED Indicators to interpret the LED signal.

If the signal strength is weak, move the unit to another location and test again.

To test the signal strength of the MG-2WPGM at the Magellan console, see the Magellan Programming Guide.

In order to perform a signal strength of the MG-2WPGM through the Magellan console, the zone and/or PGM needs to be programmed in the console.

Jumper Settings

The jumper (JP1) determines the input setting of the zone. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the jumper.

JP1 ON = Normally Closed (N.C.) zone (default)
JP1 OFF = Normally Open (N.O.) zone

You must set the jumper to match the wiring of the zone input. If the zone input is wired as N.O., the jumper must be OFF.

LED Indicators

RX LED: Green LED flashes when the module is receiving information from the Magellan console or receiver.

TX LED: Red LED flashes when the module is sending information to the Magellan console or receiver.

RSSI LED: Yellow LED indicates the power of the message received:

• If the LED flashes twice, the signal is excellent.
• If the LED flashes once, the signal is too weak.
• If the LED does not flash at all, there is no signal.

Relay LED: Green LED is on if the PGM relay is on.

Please refer to Figure 1 on the reverse side for the location of each LED.

Back-up Alarm Reporting Option

This feature provides you with the option of supervising the communication between the Magellan console and the MG-2WPGM. If enabled, the MG2WPGM will periodically check for communication with the Magellan console. If there is no response from the console, the relay will activate.

When the Magellan system is in entry delay or in alarm, the console will send a message to the MG-2WPGM telling it that it is in entry delay or in alarm. During the entry delay, or when the system is in alarm, the MG-2WPGM will check for communication with the Magellan console every 10 seconds, and if there is no response from the console, the relay will activate. If the system is armed (or in standby mode), the MG-2WPGM will check for communication with the Magellan console every minute (18-20 minutes for standby mode), and if there is no response, the relay will activate. The MG-2WPGM will deactivate only when there is a response from the Magellan console.

To enable this feature, in the Installer menu of the Magellan console, select "4SYSTEM SETUP", and then "7-OUTPUT PROFILE". Using the "next" key, scroll until you reach the "CONSOLE SUPERV?" option and press "ok".

Follow Bell/Follow Alarm Options

This feature allows you to set the PGM to activate following a Bell or an alarm in addition to supervising the communication between the Magellan console and the MG-2WPGM. If either of these options are enabled, the MG-2WPGM will periodically check for communication with the Magellan console. If there is no response from the console, the relay will activate.

When the Magellan system is in entry delay or in alarm, the console will send a message to the MG-2WPGM telling it that it is in entry delay or in alarm. During the entry delay, or when the system is in alarm, the MG-2WPGM will check for communication with the Magellan console every 10 seconds, and if there is no response from the console, the relay will activate. If the system is armed (or in standby mode), the MG-2WPGM will check for communication with the Magellan console every minute (18-20 minutes for standby mode), and if there is no response, the relay will activate. The MG-2WPGM will deactivate after 5 minutes or as soon as there is a response from the Magellan console.

To enable this feature, in the Installer menu of the Magellan console, select "4SYSTEM SETUP", and then "7-OUTPUT PROFILE". Using the "next" key, scroll until you reach either the "FOLLOW BELL?" or "ALARM ACTIVATION" option and press "ok".

PGM Protection

Every minute that the PGM is activated, the MG-2WPGM will verify that the Magellan is intact (unless the PGM is activated for a set length of time). If there is no response from the Magellan console, the MG-2WPGM will deactivate after 5 minutes unless it receives an alternate command from the Magellan.
