N A P C O  
 
Please read this guide thoroughly  
to familiarize yourself with your new  
security system. Keep this booklet  
handy for future reference. Note  
especially the ALARM PLAN on  
page 15. Your alarm specialist will  
help you fill it out and explain the  
various features and operating  
procedures for your new Magnum  
Alert-825/825HS.  
The Napco Magnum Alert-8254  
825HS has such a wide variety of  
features that few, if any, security  
systems will ever need them all.  
Your alarm professional has  
chosen appropriate features for  
your situation. Ask him about  
them.  
Your Magnum Alert-825/825HS  
is carefully designed and  
engineered to the highest indus-  
try standards. To provide optimum  
safety and security with this  
equipment, we recommend that  
the user become thoroughly  
familiar with the unit and periodi-  
cally check its condition and state  
of readiness.

Your Magnum Alert-825/825HS Security System has three basic components:  
1. Zones  
2. The Dlglt-Key Keypad  
3. The Alarm Output  
Lets you program arm/disarm  
codes; arm and disarm the system;  
check the condition(status) of each  
zone; temporarily bypass (shunt)

When any zone is activated, the  
Control Center responds by sound-  
ing an audible alarm and/or alerting  
a central station (optional). Your  
alarm specialist has programmed  
monitoring up to six separate areas  
of your premises, including Am-  
bush/Panic and Auxiliary zones.  
Each zone is an independent cir-  
cuit that protects a specific area of  
your premises. For example: your  
alarm specialist may have set aside  
a zone for window protection, exit/  
entry delay, interior space protec-  
tion, safe and valuables protection  
or emergencies. Each zone can be  
“programmed’ to react in aspecific  
manner. Check and be certain that  
you know what each zone protects.

Selecting Your Codes  
The Digit-Key Keypad  
To program these codes, slide  
the ARM-DISARM/RUN/LOAD  
switch (upper left corner of the  
Control Center, see page 4) to the  
right (LOAD). The three lights on  
the keypad will flash rapidly, and  
the Mini-Sounder will beep. At the  
keypad, enter any combination of  
up to four digits (there is no zero)  
as follows:  
All security system operations are  
carried out at the keypad. Each key  
hasaspecialfunction of its own (see  
“CONTROLS” page 5) plus the  
ability to arm and disarm the system  
when they are used in a preselected  
combination (codes).  
Easy Arming  
(MA-825HS only)  
If programmed, this feature  
permits quick arming by momen-  
tarily pressing Key 8. Disarming,  
however, will still require entry of  
a complete code.

Codes

You can choose up to4 four-digit  
codes which will allow you to arm  
and disarm your system. Any of these  
codes can easily be changed, thus  
allowing temporary guests, baby-  
sitters, employees, etc., access to  
the premises. When no longer need-  
ed, the codes can be changed or  
removed from service.

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.  
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 anyway. A 2-  
second beep at the keypad Mini-  
Sounder will alert you that the sys-  
tem was armed with a zone auto-  
matically 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.  
Checking AC Power  
If the three lights of your keypad  
are blinking slowly, you have lost  
AC power. Check to see if there  
has been a general power outage,  
or if the Control Center’s trans-  
former is disconnected. If you must  
operate without AC power, press  
Key9 to stop the lights from blink-  
ing. Next, test your standby

to Personal Code  
battery by pressing Key 1. If the  
alarm doesn’t sound, or is weak,  
replace the battery. Check your  
battery weekly.  
If after an extended power failure  
your personal codes do not work,  
you can temporarily use the " Fall-  
back” code to operate the system.  
To restore personal codes, see page  
7 “Selecting Your Codes”.  
Armlng The System Before  
You Leave  
Before you attempt to arm the  
system, check the STATUS light  
on the keypad. 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 immediatelythrough the exit/  
entry door before the exit-delay  
time runs out. If you take too long  
to leave the premises, the Mini-  
Arming With A Zone  
In Trouble  
If the green STATUS light is flash-  
ing, at least one’non-24 Hour Zone  
is in trouble (in an open or shorted  
condition) and incapable of being  
armed. Count the number of flashes  
to determine the 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  
You cannot arm your system if a  
zone programmed as 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.

NOTE: If you enter the wrong code,  
you must wait at least 2 seconds  
before re-entering. If there was an  
extended power failure and your  
system does not respond to your  
correct code, enter your pre-  
programmed “Fallback” code to  
disarm. See page 8.  
To identify which zone(s) were  
violated, hold down Alarm History  
Key 2 until it beeps. The red ARMED/  
MEMORY light will flash to indicate  
the last alarm condition. Count the  
number of flashes to determine  
which zone(s) require attention.  
NOTE: If an alarm occurredand the  
red light did not flash, a 24 Hour  
Zone (see your Alarm Plan) was  
violated. The cause of the alarm  
must be determined and cleared  
before you can rearm your Control  
Center.  
If trouble is encountered on a  
zone programmed as a Priority-  
with-Bypass Zone however, enter  
your code to silence the Mini-  
Sounder and disarm; hold down  
Reset Key 9 until it beeps (this will  
bypass the alarm condition); then  
enter your code to rearm.  
Ambush Code (optlonal)  
If an intruder forces you to disarm  
your system, enter your prepro-  
grammed 1- or P-digit Ambush  
Code before your disarm code. This  
activates your Ambush Zone, which  
is usually programmed to send a  
silent alarm to a central station  
(optional feature). If your system is  
monitored by a central station, be  
sure to memorize your ambush code.  
Disarming When  
You Return  
When you enter through the exit/  
entry door, the Mini-Sounder will  
come on during the entry period to  
remind you to disarm. Check the  
red ARMED/MEMORY light; if it is  
flashing, an alarm occurred while  
you were out. Using your code,  
disarm the system immediately  
during the entry period to prevent  
an alarm and to silence the Mini-  
Sounder.

no longer shunted.( Note: The shunt  
light does NOT come on when zones  
are auto-shunted.)

Zone Shunting  
Your alarm specialist may have  
opted for one or more zones that  
can be selectively shunted  
(removed) from the system. Since a  
shunted zone cannot cause an  
alarm, you may wish to use this  
feature to turn OFF the interior  
areas while arming, and keeping  
your perimeter zones (windows,  
doors, etc.) active.  
To arm, check the green light to  
make sure no zone is in trouble.

your system by “ringing back” with  
a short beep from the Mini-Sounder.  
(This is an optional feature that

Even with the most advanced fire  
alarm system, adequate protection  
requires an escape plan. To pre-  
pare your plan:  
Draw floorplans of your building.  
Show two exits a front or back door  
-
and a window from each room. (Make  
sure the window works. You may  
need a special fire escape ladder if  
the window is high up.) Write down  
your outside meeting place.  
Family Rehearsal  
Rehearse each of the following  
activities:  
1) Everyone in their room with the  
doors closed.  
2) One person sound the alarm.  
Read Carefully  
IMPORTANT  
Discuss these escape procedures  
-
cautiously. Be ready to slam the door  
if smoke or heat rush in. Crawl
