NAPCO Magnum Alert-800 Operating Manual - page 7

First, check the green

STATUS light at the keypad or

keyswitch. If this light is on stead-

ily, enter your code. The red

ARMED/MEMORY light will come

on and the green lamp will go out.

Leave immediately through the

entry/exit doorway before the

delay time runs out. If you delay

too long in leaving the premises,

you will hear the Mini-Sounder

warn you that the exit delay time

has run out. To avoid causing an

alarm, quickly return to the keypad

and enter your code to reset the

Control Center. You may then re-

arm and try to exit again.

In 

When the green STATUS light

is flashing, one or more of your

burglary protection zones are in

“trouble” and incapable of being

armed. The green light will flash

the number(s) identifying the

zone or zones in “trouble”. For

example, if your back door is open

on Zone 1 and a window is open on

Zone 3, the green STATUS lamp

will flash once for Zone   pause,

then flash three times for Zone 3.

(Refer to your Alarm Plan for zone

locations.)

Look for something you can

fix yourself in the area protected

by the zone(s) in “trouble”. In this

example, you can fix the zones

yourself by closing the back door

and the window.

If the zone cannot be fixed

immediately, the green light will

continue to flash. Try to arm. If

the zone(s) in “trouble” have

been programmed as 

Shunt zones, the red ARMED/

MEMORY lamp will come on,

the green light will go out, and

your system will be armed. The

sounder will come on for 4 

onds to remind you that you

armed with one or more zones

shunted (turned off).

When you try to arm with a

zone programmed as a Priority

Zone in “trouble”, the Control

Center will not arm. Enter your

code again to silence the

sounder. If you cannot fix the

zone, call your alarm specialist.

Check the Alarm Plan in this

manual to remind you which

zones are programmed as Prior-

ity zones and which are 

Shunt.

The Alarm Plan will also indi-

cate which zones, if any, 

 be

manually shunted. Manually

shunt with caution. Shunting too

many zones will leave your prem-

ises unprotected, even with

your system armed. To arm with

zone(s) manually shunted, count

the flashes on the green STATUS

light to be sure the zone in

“trouble” is capable of being

manually shunted. Press the
