Arming With Zone Shunting; Alarm With The System Disarmed; Instant Protection - NAPCO Magnum Alert 800 Operating Manual

Arming with
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
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.
