The alarm sets but won’t go off when you open door to come in.

A possible reason the NAPCO MAGNUM ALERT 1008e alarm sets but does not go off when the door is opened is that the zone for the door may not be programmed correctly or is not configured as a protected or active zone. Another possibility is that the door sensor is faulty or not properly connected, so the system does not detect the door opening.
