NAPCO Magnum Alert-800 Operating Manual - page 9

Arming 

You might have chosen one

or two zones that you can man-

ually “shunt out” of the system

from the keypad. A shunted

(bypassed) zone cannot cause

an alarm. Zone shunting may be

used for turning off interior

protection, or allowing you to

turn on only your perimeter

protection.

To arm with zone(s) shunted,

first check the green STATUS

lamp to make sure that no peri-

meter zone is in “trouble”. Then

press the SHUNT button, labeled

 and enter your code. The

yellow SHUNT light and the red

ARMED/MEMORY light will come

on. The green light will be out.

The SHUNT light will go out when

you disarm the Control Center.

If an alarm signals at a time

when your system is not armed,

an alarm is occurring on a 24

hour protection zone, or your

standby battery is low. The cause

of the alarm must be corrected

and then the Control Center reset

by arming and disarming again in

order to clear the signal. (Consult

your Alarm Plan to determine

which, if any, of your protection

zones are 24 hour.)

Your alarm specialist may have

installed an optional switch that

may be used to cancel the exit/

entry delay period at the time of

arming the system. Use this fea-

ture when at home to sound an

instant alarm upon intrusion

through the exit/entry door.

Activate the switch prior to arm-

ing. Be sure to restore the switch

to the normal position, disarm

the system, and then re-arm the

system if you are leaving the

premises.
