Your new MAGNUM ALERT-725 represents
the state of the art in security technology. It is
a sophisticated burglary detection and warning
system with many available features. Your
alarm specialist has tailored this system to
your particular requirements; he’ll go over
it with you and help you fill out the ALARM
PLAN on page
available should questions concerning system
operation arise.
Please read through these pages carefully
before putting your new system into service.
Familiarize yourself with the features and
operation of your MAGNUM ALERT-725 and
keep this manual handy for reference. While
reading it, you will undoubtedly run across
several new or unfamiliar terms. Check the
GLOSSARY on pages 4 and 5 for explanation
of these terms.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MA-725 may be used in one of two ways.
It can function as a complete alarm system for
home or office when complemented by an
accessory power source and communicator
(optional) or, when used as part of a larger
system, it may serve as an area arming (and
disarming) device to provide isolated protection of (or access to) only a part of that system.
Typical applications of the latter may be found
in factories, warehouses, shopping malls, and
other large structures or complexes. Regard-
less of how the MA-725 is utilized, its opera-
tion is essentially the same.
As each system is customized to the user’s
particular needs, not all of the features
may have been selected, but all MA-725
systems will have the following capabilities
and components.
Zone Monitoring. Your system will be
monitoring up to four separate circuits on
premises or within your designated area. For
example, your alarm specialist may have
specified one zone for exit/entry doors;
another for window protection; another for
interior space protection; and still another for
safe and valuables protection. An additional
zone (Panic Zone) is available to manually
signal an immediate alarm in case of an emergency. Each zone may be programmed to react
in a specific manner. You must learn what
your
each zone protects, how it responds to a violation, and what suitable action must be taken.
The Digital Keypad. The integral digital
keypad allows you to perform the following
functions:
l
arm and disarm your system,
l
check the condition (status) of each zone,
l
check which zones were violated
after an alarm,
l
temporarily bypass (shunt) one
or more zones,
l
send a panic alarm,
l
cancel exit/entry delay,
l
test the alarm,
l
reset a Day Zone, and
l
bypass a Priority Zone with Bypass.
Three lights and a Mini-Sounder on the panel
provide visual and audible alerts.
Alarm Circuits. The alarm circuits are
activated by a zone violation. When the panel
senses an abnormal condition from any
source, it will respond by sounding an audible
alarm and/or alerting a central monitoring
station (optional).
