The Napco Magnum Alert 1016E is a security system designed for residential or small commercial use, offering a range of features for arming, disarming, code management, zone bypassing, and alarm troubleshooting.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Napco Magnum Alert 1016E is to provide security by monitoring various zones (e.g., doors, windows) and triggering an alarm if a breach is detected. It allows users to arm and disarm the system using personal codes, manage multiple user codes, and bypass specific zones temporarily. The system also includes features for panic alarms, fire/trouble detection, and a chime function for monitoring entry/exit when disarmed. It can be connected to a central monitoring station for professional police or fire department dispatch.

Usage Features:

Arming the System:

To arm the system, ensure a steady green light is visible on the keypad. If so, enter your personal code and exit the premises within 30 seconds. This delay allows you to leave through programmed delay zones (typically front and garage doors) without triggering an immediate alarm. If the green light is flashing, it indicates an open zone (e.g., a door or window). The keypad will display a red flashing number along with text to identify the open zone (e.g., "07 kitchen door"). If the zone is closed but the light persists, you may need to bypass the zone. To bypass a zone, press the bypass key (b/a, which is also the zero key) twice, then enter the two-digit zone number (e.g., bypass-bypass-7 for zone 07). Once all zones are closed or bypassed, and you have a steady green light and a steady amber light, enter your code and leave.

Disarming the System:

To disarm the system, simply enter your personal code. The red light on the keypad will turn green, indicating the system is disarmed. If the system does not disarm, wait 5 seconds and retry.

Changing Personal Codes:

To change your personal code:

1. Press and hold button 8 until it beeps (approximately 3 seconds).
2. Enter "222." The keypad will start beeping, and lights will flash.
3. Press the bypass key (b/a) twice, then press "#1" (for user #1).
4. Enter your new code. Codes can be up to 4 digits. Avoid sequential numbers like "1-2."
5. Press the bypass key three times to confirm and enter the new code. After changing the code, arm and disarm the system to verify the new code works and that the previous code is cleared.

Adding Additional Codes:

To add additional user codes (the system supports up to 15 codes): Follow the same steps as changing a personal code. When you reach step 3, instead of pressing "#1," press the number corresponding to the user you want to add (e.g., "2" for user #2, "3" for user #3, etc.).

Bypassing a Zone:

To temporarily bypass a zone:

1. Press the bypass key (b/a), located on the bottom row of buttons (also the zero key).
2. Enter the two-digit zone number you wish to bypass (e.g., bypass-bypass-7 for zone 07). This is useful if a sensor is faulty or a zone needs to remain open temporarily.

Chime Feature:

The chime feature provides an audible tone from each keypad whenever a door or window is opened, even when the system is disarmed. This helps monitor activity within the premises. To activate or deactivate this function, press and hold button 5 for 3 seconds.

Deleting Entry Delay:

To arm the system without the 30-second entry delay (useful if you want immediate alarm activation upon entry):

1. Hold down key 4 for three seconds until a beep is heard.
2. Enter your code number. This will arm the system with no entry delay, but the 30-second exit time remains. A rapid flashing light on the keypad indicates that the entry delay has been canceled.

Panic Alarm:

To trigger a panic alarm instantly, press the "*" and "#" buttons simultaneously. If the system was not armed when the panic buttons were pressed, your personal code will need to be entered twice to silence the sirens.

Reset Button:

Key 9 is the reset button. It must be pressed and held for 3 seconds to reset the system. A tone will confirm the reset. This button is used to clear the alarm history or to reset smoke detectors after a fire alarm. The fire/trouble light on the keypad may take up to 1 minute to clear.

Alarm History:

After an alarm has been violated, the zone number will continue to flash on the keypad until the system is reset. To check for alarm history, press and hold the bypass key. Note that this can be confused with an open zone; an open zone will show a steady green light, while an alarm history will show a flashing zone number.

Fire/Trouble:

If the smoke alarm has been activated and the sirens are sounding:

1. Enter your personal code once if the system was armed, or twice if it was disarmed.
2. Press and hold key 9 to reset the system. The fire/trouble light should clear after 30 seconds. If connected to a monitoring service, the fire department will be dispatched automatically without verification calls from the monitoring company.

Keypad Status Indicators (System Trouble):

• Steady Green Light: All zones are closed, system is ready to arm.
• Flashing Red Number and Flashing Green Light: A zone is showing open.
• Slow Flashing Red Light and Zone Number: An alarm has been violated; the zone number indicates what set off the alarm.
• Red Fire/Trouble Light: Smoke detectors have been set off.
• Amber and Green Steady Lights: A zone is bypassed.
• "P" with a Tone: User code was entered with system trouble. Re-enter user code.
• #1 and Flashing Red, Green & Amber Lights (Power Failure): Press reset button #9 (temporarily resets the keypad). Check the alarm transformer and outlet for power.
• #2 and Flashing Red, Green & Amber Lights (Low Battery): Press reset button #9 (temporarily resets the keypad). If these lights continue to flash for more than 6 hours after resetting, a new battery is needed.

Maintenance Features:

Siren/Battery Check:

This should be performed monthly. Press and hold key 1. The sirens will sound for 3 seconds and then stop. If no sound or a low sound is heard, the backup battery likely needs replacement. These batteries typically last 3-5 years.

Displayed Bypass:

To view any zones that have been bypassed, hold down key 2 until it beeps.

Smoke Detector Maintenance:

Smoke detectors, if part of the security system, need to be cleaned at least once a year. This can be done with a vacuum or a can of spray air. Note that some smoke detectors are standalone and powered by 9-volt batteries, and are not integrated into the security system.

Locating Main Alarm Panel/Power:

It is crucial to know the location of the control panel to disable the alarm in emergencies (e.g., keypad failure, power surge). The control panel is typically found in a white metal box hanging on a wall in a basement or closet area. You will need a screwdriver to open the box. Inside the box, you will find the backup battery. Remove the plastic terminals from the battery. Next, locate the transformer (a small 2-inch black or tan plug) plugged into an electrical outlet near the panel box. It may be screwed into the outlet. Once both the transformer and battery are unplugged, the security system will shut down, and the keypads will have no lights. The system will remain deactivated until power is restored. Only the date and time information will be lost from memory.

Important Technical Specifications:

• User Codes: Supports up to 15 user codes.
• Code Length: User codes can be up to 4 digits.
• Exit Delay: 30 seconds (standard).
• Entry Delay: 30 seconds (can be canceled).
• Backup Battery Life: 3-5 years (typical).
• Monitoring Capability: Built-in digital communicator for central station connection.

Central Station Monitoring:

The Napco Magnum Alert 1016E has a digital communicator built into its control panel, allowing connection to a monitoring company. This service typically involves a monthly fee (e.g., $25) and may offer discounts for annual billing. Residents in certain areas (e.g., Fayette County) may need to obtain a False Alarm Reduction Permit before monitoring service can be activated. The monitoring company, such as Affiliated Central (offered through Vacuflo), does not require long-term contracts.

For service or monitoring issues, contact CIVA Inc. / Vacuflo Of Kentucky during business hours (Monday-Friday 8:30 to 4:00).
