Introduction The ADT FOCUS 200 PLUS is a user-friendly security system that monitors your site’s detectors and alarms. Fully programmable, the FOCUS 200 PLUS allows you to control hundreds of critical security functions from one menu-driven interface as simple to use as the automated teller machine (ATM) at your local bank.
System Overview (cont’d) • Capacity of up to 255 individual operating panel users, each having various security privileges. • Capacity of up to 999 individual card/key reader users, each having various levels of access. • Control and recording of employee access to workplace areas along with time and date.
Protection Points and Groups The FOCUS 200 PLUS monitors up to 255 protection points in up to eight independent fire and burglary groups. The system lets you designate group names in ways that make sense for your specific needs. For example, “Office” and “Warehouse”...
System Overview (cont’d) Automated Event Recording and Printing The ADT FOCUS 200 PLUS provides complete documentation and event- recording capabilities. The system prints all desired events and stores the last 1000 system events in memory. The types of events recorded in the memory are: •...
Introduction In recent years the pace of electronic development of security systems has greatly accelerated. This has brought the price range of reliable monitored security systems to a level that is affordable to most households and nearly all businesses. As a result, the number of security systems installed is expanding swiftly.

Additional steps are to carefully read and understand this manual, to become thoroughly familiar with your system by practicing entry and exit commands, and to learn how your monitoring system can become part of your workday lifestyle. Learn your Personal Identification Number (PIN), which is necessary when you communicate with your ADT Customer Monitoring Center.

Introduction The QUICK START section is designed to familiarize new users with the operation of the FOCUS 200 PLUS operating panel in under an hour. It will introduce you the FOCUS 200 PLUS’ four primary menus and guide you through the logic behind one or two operations from each menu. Think of the QUICK START section as a “crash course”...
Quick Start (cont’d) Normal Inactive Screen When there are no alarms or troubles and no one is using the operating panel, the Normal Inactive Screen will display: • Press the ? to view the Help Screen, which will aid you in responding to an alarm or trouble condition.
Responding to Alarms During an alarm, your system’s alarm annunciating devices (bell, siren, lights, and/or operating panel, depending on the optional devices you selected) will be activated. The operating panel and horns will sound an intermittent tone (with a 5-second pause every 10 seconds) to audibly annunciate a fire alarm and a steady tone to audibly annunciate a burglary alarm.
Quick Start (cont’d) To view current alarms, perform the following steps: Using the operating panel’s numeric keypad, enter a valid ID code to display the Action Menu 1 (see page 19) if no burglary groups are on; or press the “Turn off” selector button (if burglary groups are on) to deactivate all annunciating devices.
EXERCISE: PANEL ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION Enter your ID code. Count to 15 after you hear the long beep. The operating panel should now become inactive. Enter your ID code again. As soon as you hear the long beep, press the More selection once.
Page 16
Quick Start (cont’d) EXERCISE: THE MORE/FIRST SELECTION Enter your ID code and press the More selection three times. You are now at the last Action Menu screen, and the More selection on the screen has changed to First. Choosing First will now bring you back to the first Action Menu screen.
Quick Start (cont’d) Summary: Navigational Selections Every Action Menu screen contains two navigational selections, More/First and Quit/Previous. More/First allows you to scroll forward among the four Action Menus, while Quit/Previous brings you to the previous menu screen (from screen 2-4) or inactivates the operating panel (from screen 1). If you are not completely comfortable with the navigational selections, go back and repeat the exercises before continuing.
Quick Start (cont’d) Action Menus 1-4 – Main Features Now that you are familiar with the navigational and help features common to all FOCUS 200 PLUS menus, it’s time to take a closer look at what distinguishes one menu from another. To perform all the exercises here, your ID code will need to have access to all levels of operation.
Page 19
EXERCISE: THE “?” SELECTION Scroll through the four Action Menus using the two navigational keys discussed earlier. At each screen, choose the ? selection to familiarize yourself with the various Help Screens. Take a look at Action Menu 1. You now know that this menu contains two navigational selections and a help selection.
Quick Start (cont’d) EXERCISE: TURN ON BURGLARY PROTECTION Enter your ID code and observe Action Menu 1. Press Turn on. Choosing this enables you to turn the group(s) on in either the AWAY or STAY mode. Once you select the mode, you can scroll through your burglary groups using the Previous and Next selections.

System Programming Introduction Your FOCUS 200 PLUS security system is easily customized to meet your specific security and monitoring requirements. During installation, your ADT representative will review all system options and will recommend certain features and functions to accommodate your facility and daily business routines.
Once an ID code is assigned to a user, that user may automatically perform the following functions: • Turn on/off assigned Burglary Protection. • Test system sounders. • Test burglary points. • View/print the system’s history log. Each code may also be assigned a specific “Privilege Level(s)” that provides access to additional system operating functions (see Assigning Privilege Levels later in this section).

• Spaces are entered by pressing the 1 key. • Symbols are entered by pressing the 1 key, then using the CHR (backward and forward) keys to scroll through the entire character set. Hint: Scrolling through the entire alphabet will take less time if you hold the keys down instead of pressing and releasing them.

Access Time Capability Person can open Inside or and access any Outside time. Schedule Same as above, Inside but an irregular Schedule event will be flagged for access outside Outside of schedule Schedule (PVF). Person can open Inside and access, but Schedule only within schedule.
Page 40
System Programming (cont’d) Assigning a User ID Code The ID code is used to access the operating panel. The first two digits of the ID code are the user number. The number to be entered is the unique four- digit PIN. Choose a number that is easy to remember, but is still difficult for others to guess.
Changing the Time and Date Your FOCUS 200 PLUS security system contains a real-time clock and calendar, which must be programmed at the time of installation. Periodically check the clock and calendar to ensure their accuracy. The time and date may require re-entering if both AC power and battery power have been interrupted or disconnected.
Page 42
System Programming (cont’d) 6. Press Change time to display the time currently set in the system. 7. Using the operating panel’s numeric keypad, enter the new time. Note: Those users who have been assigned only the privilege level of “Change temp sched” are limited to time changes within 5 minutes of the current time displayed on the screen.
4. Press Daylight to display “Spring Daylight” description and programmed date. 5.

Page 44
System Programming (cont’d) Schedules can be permanent or temporary. A permanent schedule is fixed, and remains in effect until it is changed (by an authorized user). A temporary schedule will override the permanent schedule for one day only. It is automatically deleted at midnight of the day it took effect. For example, on a Friday, a temporary closing time of 8:00 PM is programmed into the system to override the permanent schedule closing time of 5:00 PM.

System Programming (cont’d) Guidelines (continued): • Pressing Delete when changing a closing time will tell the system that no closing will occur for that schedule that day (up to midnight). Use this to tell the system when there is an early morning closing the next day. You must also program a 12:00 AM opening and a closing time (i.e., 3:00 AM) the next day.
Page 47
For maximum security, the Auto On/Off feature is not recommended. If Auto Off is enabled, burglary protection will automatically be turned off regardless of unforeseen events, possibly allowing unauthorized personnel to enter the premises. If Auto On is enabled, burglary protection will automatically be turned on, which could lead to the generation of a false alarm if personnel are within a protected area.
