Questions and answers
My NAPCO 800 alarm paned showes Armed/Alarm led "RED" STATUS led "GREEN" Panel is Unresponsive. Can you help?
@pasquale g. lombardi
If your NAPCO Magnum Alert 800 alarm panel shows a red Armed/Alarm LED and a green STATUS LED but is unresponsive, follow these steps:
1. Check the STATUS Light – If the green STATUS LED is flashing, it indicates a zone is in “trouble” (e.g., an open door or window).
2. Identify the Problem Zone – The green light will flash the number(s) corresponding to the troubled zone(s). Check those areas and ensure all doors and windows are properly closed.
3. Verify the System Mode – Ensure the system is in the RUN position. The system will not operate in the LOAD position.
4. Re-enter Your Code – If the red light remains on but the system is unresponsive, wait 5 seconds and try entering your code again.
5. Power Cycle if Necessary – If the issue persists after verifying zones and re-entering the code, check for power failures or reset the system if needed.
If the problem continues, consult the alarm manual or contact a security specialist for further troubleshooting.

We have a very old keypad, and the red light has stopped coming on when the system is activated. How do I repair this?
@Barbara
If the red light on a NAPCO Magnum Alert 800 keypad does not come on when activating the system, you may have entered the wrong code. Wait 5 seconds, then try entering your code again. Ensure the switch is in the RUN position before entering the code. If the issue continues, confirm the keypad is receiving power and that no zones are in "trouble" status.
