USING YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM
J
Selecting Your Personal Code
Using the keypad, you may enter up to four
different codes to arm and disarm the panel.
NOTE: If your MAGNUM ALERT-725 is used
as an area arm module that is part of a larger
system, do not select a code that is already in
use in the main system.
To program personal user codes, proceed as
follows:
Flip up the hinged front panel. Insert a small
screwdriver into the hole between the red and
green lights and slide the RUN/LOAD switch
(behind the subpanel) to the right (LOAD
position).
The three lights on the panel will flash rapidly
and the Mini-Sounder will beep. On the
keypad, enter any combination of up to four
digits (there is no zero) as follows:
Press [S] then [1] then [any 4
digits]:
first user’s code
[S] then [2] then [any 4 digits]:
second user’s code
[S] then [3] then [any 4 digits]:
third user’s code
[S] then [4] then (any 4 digits]:
fourth user’s code
8
After the user codes have been entered, return
the RUN/LOAD switch to the left (RUN posi-
tion). Remember: your system will not operate
with the switch in the LOAD position.
NOTE: You need not assign all four codes.
Use only as many as you need, and change
them as often as you feel necessary (refer to
Changing or Voiding a Code, page 9).
The numbers you have selected become the
only codes recognized by the system. Each
user should be assigned his own dissimilar
code and should be cautioned against divulg-
ing that code to anyone else. Thus, should it
become necessary to remove a user from the
system, that one code may be voided without
affecting other codes, and that user would
then be prevented from entry.
NOTE: In high-security installations, your
alarm specialist may have installed a remote
DISABLE/LOAD switch in addition to or
instead of the RUN/LOAD switch on the
keypad to prevent unauthorized access to user
codes. If your system includes this feature, the
DISABLE/LOAD switch must be set to LOAD
when loading, changing or voiding a code, and
returned to DISABLE when finished.
Changing or Voiding a Code
Changing any user’s code is accomplished
using the foregoing procedure and simply
changing the 4-digit combination. Thus, to
change User 3’s code,
1. Set the RUN/LOAD switch to LOAD (lights
flash; Mini-Sounder beeps).
2. Press [S] then [3] then [4 new digits]:
User 3’s new code.
3. Return the RUN/LOAD switch to RUN.
Similarly, User 3’s code may be voided by
merely not entering a 4-digit combination.
Thus, to void User 3’s code,
1. Set the RUN/LOAD switch to LOAD (lights
flash; Mini-Sounder beeps).
2. Press [S] then [3]: User 3’s code erased.
3. Return the RUN/LOAD switch to RUN.
Using Your Code to
Arm and Disarm the System
When you enter your personal code at the
keypad, the red ARMED/MEMORY light will
either come on, indicating that the panel is
armed; or go off, Indicating that the panel is
disarmed. If you enter the wrong code, you will
not be able to arm or disarm the system and the
light will fail to respond.
Wait at /east
2
seconds
before attempting to re-enter your code.
