Protecting Your Premises While You Are Away - NAPCO MAGNUM ALERT-725 Operating Manual

Arming the System Before You Leave
Before you attempt to arm the system, check
the STATUS light on the panel. If the light is
on, you may enter your code, but be prepared
to leave immediately. Upon arming, the red
ARMED/MEMORY light will come on and the
green STATUS light will go out. Leave
immediately through the exit/entry door before
the exit delay time runs out. If you take too
long to leave the premises, the Mini-Sounder
will warn you that exit delay time has expired
and entry delay time has started. To avoid
causing an alarm, quickly return to the panel
and enter your code to disarm. You may then
rearm and try to exit again.
Arming with a Zone in Trouble
If the green STATUS light is flashing, at least
one non-24-Hour Zone is in trouble (in an
abnormal open or shorted condition) and
incapable of being armed. Count the number
of flashes to determine zone(s) in trouble. For
example, if your back door is open on Zone 1
and a window is open on Zone 3, the STATUS
lamp will flash once for Zone 1; pause; then
flash three times for Zone 3. Try to clear the
troubled zone(s) yourself. In this example, you
can clear the zones by merely closing the back
door and the window.
PROTECTING YOUR PREMISES
WHILE YOU ARE AWAY
If the zone cannot be fixed (green light still
flashing), it may still be possible to arm the
system without the protection of that zone.
Check your Alarm Plan (see page 15). If the
zone in trouble is not designated as a Priority
Zone, you will be able to arm your system any-
way. A momentary beep from the Mini-Sounder
will alert you that the system was armed with a
zone automatically bypassed (auto-shunted)
and no alarm will occur. Be sure to have all
zones in trouble repaired as soon as possible!
If you cannot clear the zone yourself, call your
alarm specialist.
You cannot arm your system if a Priority Zone
is in trouble. The Mini-Sounder will come
on, but the ARMED/MEMORY light will not.
To silence the sounder, re-enter your code
to disarm.
Check your Alarm Plan on page 15. If the
Priority Zone in trouble is also programmed for
Selective Shunt (or Group Shunt), press [S],
then the zone number to shunt that zone (or
press [S] twice to shunt all group-shunt
zones), then rearm.
If trouble is encountered on a Priority Zone
With Bypass, enter your code to silence the
Mini-Sounder and hold down Reset Key [9]
until it beeps (this will bypass the trouble con-
dition); then enter your code to arm.
