System Overview
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.
The ADT FOCUS 200 PLUS consists of a central control unit, an operating
panel, and up to 255 protection points. The control unit is protected by a
heavy-gauge steel cabinet and protected by a tamper sensor. While
monitoring protection points 24 hours a day, the controller itself is
electronically monitored by trained ADT personnel. If a hazard or security
breach occurs, the appropriate authorities (police, fire) are alerted. In case of
a maintenance problem, ADT service personnel can also be notified.
All functions are accessed through the system operating panels or through
card/key readers.

FOCUS
 200 PLUS Features
•

Attractive, easy-to-use, menu-driven operating panel.

•

Up to 255 protection points in as many as eight independent groups from
one central location.

•

Manual activation or deactivation of any function.

•

Ability to turn group(s) on in either the AWAY or STAY mode. STAY
mode automatically bypasses certain point types. Check with your ADT
service technician to see if your system contains any of these point types.

•

Ability to bypass points for maintenance or service.

•

Ability to program automatic activation/deactivation of security groups.

–3–

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.
• Recording of security-related activities.
• Ability to send messages to up to 8 paging services.
• Ability to trigger a panic by pressing the ✳ or # key on the operating
panel.
Although the FOCUS 200 PLUS has many powerful features, ADT has
designed the system to operate as close to “turnkey” as possible. Once the
FOCUS 200 PLUS is set up for your site, operators will need only swipe or
insert a card or key, or enter a six-digit ID code once or twice a day.

Control Unit
The FOCUS 200 PLUS control unit – the brains of your security system –
is a powerful microcomputer that manages every function of your security
system. All information about your site’s security is stored in this unit.

Operating Panel
The FOCUS 200 PLUS operating panel was designed for intuitive, efficient
operation by personnel with little or no experience using security systems.
All operations are accessed through four sequential menus.
The "?" key on each menu provides context-specific help. The QUICK
START section will help even the most instrument-shy operator get up to
speed in under an hour.

System Overview (cont’d)
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” could cover two sets of entry doors that activate/deactivate
independently.
Turning groups on and off allows different tasks to be carried out at different
times of day, all while maintaining the optimal level of safety and security.
By scrolling through the FOCUS 200 PLUS menu options, you may turn
groups on/off in the AWAY or STAY mode, or bypass points at any time for
maintenance or servicing. The system also allows you to check points or
groups to review their status, and alerts you to the precise location of an
activated alarm. Although some features may be manually activated or
deactivated at any time, FOCUS 200 PLUS also features powerful
scheduling capabilities for automated, worry-free operation.
The combination of point/group control and scheduling features allows
operators of the system to construct versatile scenarios quickly and with no
previous programming knowledge.
NOTE: Keypads assigned to group 1 will duplicate all entry, exit, and alarm
sounds generated by the keypads assigned to other groups.

User Access and Security
Each FOCUS 200 PLUS card/key reader acts as a security gateway to your
workplace, or to a specific area where certain employees have access and
others do not. This feature, which operates on manual-input codes, Wiegand,
proximity, magnetic cards, or Marlok keys, allows tracking of all securityrelated activities, either through a continuous printout or by accessing the
1000-event history log. The FOCUS 200 PLUS supports up to 999 different
users (maximum 255 user codes, the rest are access cards only) and various
levels of security with all the flexibility you will need to assure that every
employee has the proper level of access to the workplace areas.

–5–

System Overview (cont’d)
Automated Event Recording and Printing
The ADT FOCUS 200 PLUS provides complete documentation and eventrecording 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:
•

Changes in the system
status.

•

Use of a card/key reader.

•

Activation/deactivation of
points or groups.

•

Modifications to user or system
data.

In addition to the 1000-event history log, you may obtain a real-time printout
of all events at multiple remote printers.
The system’s powerful data-handling capabilities are indispensable for:
•

Keeping track of system
status

•

Verifying workplace safety and
security

•

Assuring smooth operation

•

Documenting employee access.

Summary
ADT’s FOCUS 200 PLUS offers the security industry’s best combination of
versatility, value, and ease of use. It handles all your site’s security and
access control needs through a pleasant, intuitive, menu-driven user
interface. Although the system uses a powerful microprocessor, it was
designed so that non-technical personnel can easily access all its features.
The QUICK START section is meant as a guide to introduce new users to the
operation of the FOCUS 200 PLUS operating panel. After reading QUICK
START and working through the exercises (a process that should take less
than one hour), the user will be familiar with all of the system’s most
important functions and operations. Advanced operations and specific ways
to get the most out of the system are covered in the rest of this manual.

False Alarm Prevention
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.
Since these security systems are a most significant deterrent to unwanted
intrusion, structures protected by security systems are generally safer than
those without; this is a benefit to both the residents and the local law
enforcement.
However, from time to time, many security system users operate their
system improperly and an alarm signal is generated in error. This situation
is referred to as a “false alarm.”
When a security system monitoring center receives an alarm signal, your
local police and/or fire department will be advised that there is an emergency
at your location requiring their timely response. Even if each user has only
one false alarm every two years, the police could potentially be called upon to
respond to nearly ten million false alarms each year. In most cities, more
than 90 percent of all alarms reported to the police are FALSE! In many
cities, the police spend as much as 15 percent of their time and resources on
false alarm-generated “wild goose chases.” In turn, this:
•

Diverts police and/or fire department personnel from legitimate calls.

•

Puts the community members at unnecessary risk.

•

Wastes taxpayers' money.

•

Embarrasses the security system user.

•

Diverts and wastes security company resources.

–7–

False Alarm Prevention (cont’d)
Statistics verify that more than 75% of all false alarms are caused by
alarm system operators
Of these, at least 7 out of 10 are simple errors made by a user while turning
the system on or off or when leaving or entering the building. Other typical
causes are:
•

Entering an area or opening a door or window whose protection has been
turned on.

•

Animals or large insects roaming through areas with protection turned
on.

False alarms on fire-monitored systems are typically caused by burning food,
heavy smoking in a room, or steam from a shower.

Working as a team, you and ADT must have a goal of zero false alarms
In many cities, the municipal government and police department are
attempting to make alarm system users more aware of their responsibility to
reduce false alarms by:
•

Requiring permits for alarm system users issued by licensed security
companies.

•

Charging fines for multiple false alarms and, in some areas, escalating
fines if false alarms persist.

•

Refusing to respond to an alarm when the rate of false alarm signals
remains high.

You must help eliminate false alarms
By installing this dependable, state-of-the-art FOCUS 200 PLUS system,
which is monitored by ADT Security Systems, you have already taken the
first step.

–8–

False Alarm Prevention (cont’d)
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. Then teach all others who will be using the system.
Make sure they are confident they can flawlessly operate the system and are
able to promptly cancel a false alarm, should one occur. All users must be
very familiar with the operating procedure to cancel false alarms.

Preventing causes of false alarms
The ADT brochure entitled Helping You Prevent False Alarms refers you to
this manual for any of several actions you may take to prevent false alarms.
These actions are listed below:
1. When You Test Your System: Follow the procedure under the heading
TESTING THE SYSTEM in this manual. Make certain your system is
“out of service” before you start testing the various sensors.
2. If You Move to a Different Building: ADT offers a special
consideration to customers who move, provided you give to your local
ADT representative the name of the party that purchases or leases your
present building. Do not take your operating panel or any part of your
system with you. Ask ADT to take your system out of service just before
the new party takes ownership of your present building.
3. If You Get a Watchdog: Nearly all types of animals can cause false
alarms. If you get a watchdog or have other animals, do not allow them
into a room with an area sensor when your system is turned on.
4. If You Hire Janitorial Help: Assign a special user code to each janitor,
and enter the code into the system using the procedure under the
heading SYSTEM PROGRAMMING in this manual. Carefully train your
help to turn the system on, turn it off, and cancel false alarms. They
must also understand the entry and exit delays and be able to respond to
a verification call from your ADT Monitoring Center.

–9–

False Alarm Prevention (cont’d)
5. If You Fumigate Your Building: The chemical fog used in the
fumigation process may be sensed as smoke by fire alarm smoke
detectors and may also adversely affect area sensors. Therefore, be sure
to notify ADT BEFORE starting.
6. If You Change Your Telephone: Changes in the location of the
telephone outlets or telephone numbers could compromise the
effectiveness of your security system. Have an ADT service technician
inspect your system immediately after any such changes.
7. If You Install Anything Near Any System Device: If you install any
electrical or electronic equipment within a few feet of any element of your
security system, it could cause the security equipment to malfunction.
Discuss such installation plans with an ADT service technician prior to
proceeding with the installation.
8. If You Remodel or Renovate Your Building: During the course of
remodeling or renovating, there are often changes in telephone and/or
electrical circuits. In addition, large clouds of construction dust are
generated. Any of these can compromise the effectiveness of your security
system.
In addition, any change in the position of walls, or door or window
openings may disable certain sensors in your system. A change in the
location of mirrors, pictures, or other wall hangings, as well as fans or
large plants, could cause a false alarm when an area sensor is activated
by movement or reflections of movement.
Remember to discuss any renovation or redecorating with your ADT
representative before you start construction or redecorating, and once
again when you complete it.

Quick Start
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” on how to access
basic menus and functions of your new security system. After reading the
QUICK START section and going through the exercises, users will be better
able to define their particular control and programming needs and to
pinpoint problems, then locate the needed information in this manual and
follow the specific instructions confidently and efficiently.

Operating Panel Functions
The operating panel is the primary interface between you, the operator,
and the electronic components forming the “brains” of your FOCUS 200
PLUS security system. The panel consists of a liquid crystal display (LCD)
on the left and a numeric keypad (similar to the buttons on a TouchTone
phone) on the right. Users can access most FOCUS 200 PLUS operations
through the LCD. Some operations require both the LCD screen and the
keypad.
Operating panel functions are divided into three main groups:
•

Programming — Operations relate to system settings, user names, user
ID numbers, schedules, names of points and groups, and time/date
functions.

•

System — Operations allow you to turn burglary protection on and off,
bypass protection points, respond to system alarms, obtain a history log,
and extend your site’s close time.

•

Test — Operations enable operators to test protection points, security
groups, and hardware.

status of other BA groups, press More.

•

As you enter your ID code, the system will verify your entry by displaying
“X.” If you make a mistake entering your ID code, press Clear and reenter the ID code

Quick Start (cont’d)
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.
BURGLARY NOTE: Do not enter the premises until police arrive. Have a
key available to let the police in.
FIRE NOTE:

If you are on the premises when an alarm occurs,
EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY.

HOLDUP NOTE:

During a holdup or hostage (duress) situation, try to
remain as calm as possible. All employees should be
instructed on the operation of holdup devices. Users
with ID codes should be instructed on the use of the
Ambush/Hostage and Duress features.

Viewing Current Alarms
During an alarm (excluding holdup, hostage and duress alarms), the
operating panel will display the current alarm by type and point description.

? 1 Fire Alarm

Smoke Detector

No Other Alarms

Continue

– 13 –

Quick Start (cont’d)
To view current alarms, perform the following steps:
1 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.
2 If any burglary groups are on, complete the steps under “Turning Off
Burglary Protection” in the SYSTEM OPERATION section. When all
burglary groups are off, press Continue to display Action Menu 1.
3 Press See alarms to display the alarm type, point number, and
description.
4 Press Prev or Next to display additional alarms.
5 Press Quit to display Action Menu 1.

Entering Your Personal ID Number
The first step in performing any function within the FOCUS 200 PLUS
system is to enter your personal six-digit ID number.
To enter a valid ID code, perform the following steps:
1 Enter your six-digit personal ID number. You should hear a short beep
after each digit is entered. After your number has been accepted, you will
hear a longer beep.
2 Now wait about 15 seconds and try to enter another, random six-digit
number. What happens now?
The number is recognized as an invalid ID code and the operating panel
will display “Code Incorrect, Try Again.”
3 If you make a mistake, press “Clear” to re-enter the number.
The operating panel is active for 10 seconds after a valid code is entered. You
must enter a menu selection within that time or the operating panel will
deactivate, requiring the input of a valid ID code again. Once you have
selected a menu item, however, the panel remains active for a full minute
before becoming inactive. This timeout feature automatically secures your
FOCUS 200 PLUS security system in the event of a distraction or
emergency that causes you to step away from the operating panel.

– 14 –

Quick Start (cont’d)
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. The screen should change to the next menu, Action Menu 2
(see page 21). Wait a few seconds and press More again. You
should now be on Action Menu 3 (see page 23). Now wait a full
minute. What happens?
If you waited a full minute in the last exercise, your operating panel should
have entered its timeout phase. In other words, you have one minute after
entering your last menu selection before the operating panel shuts down.

Hostage
If this feature has been enabled, you can activate a silent holdup alarm by
entering the Duress code programmed by your system installer.

The Navigational Menu Selections
Each of the four Action Menus has several selections, depending on user
privilege. Among these are the navigational menu selections, which take you
from one menu to the next and back again. The two navigational selections
from these menus are More/First and Quit/Previous.

The More/First Selection
The More selection allows you to scroll through the Action Menus. At the last
menu designation, the More selection changes to First. Selecting First brings
you back to the first Action Menu. The position (bottom right) of the key does
not change.

– 15 –

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. Repeat the steps two or three times to
verify that you have seen each screen before.

The Quit/Previous Selection
Pressing the menu selection Previous on the bottom left of each Action Menu
screen returns you to the previous Action Menu. Choosing Quit from Action
Menu 1 deactivates the operating panel.
EXERCISE: THE MORE/PREVIOUS SELECTION
Enter your ID code and press the More selection once, then press the
Previous selection. You should be back at Action Menu 1. Now choose
More three times and Previous three times. Again you should be back
at Action Menu 1. Experiment with the More and the Previous
selections until you feel comfortable navigating through the four
Action Menus.
Now return to the Action Menu 1 (choose Previous until its
designation changes to Quit). Choose Quit to return to the inactive
operating panel display.

Other Navigational Selections
Later on, when you begin working in the submenus of the FOCUS 200
PLUS system, you will encounter other navigational selections such as
Enter, Done, Next, Pgdn, and Continue. The first two are used at the end of
operations such as entering a new group name or changing an ID code. Next,
Pgdn, and Continue are specific to certain submenus. Their meaning is
similar to More in the Action Menus (i.e., they move you to the next logical
step in the programming or operational procedure).

– 16 –

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.

Turning BA Groups Off
When an ID code is entered and any BA (Burglary) group is on, you will be
presented with the following screen:

Some BA Groups

are on

Code Accepted

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.
Operating panel Action Menus 1-4 give you access to all the features in your
security system through just 14 feature selections (three each on Action
Menus 1 and 2, four each on Action Menus 3 and 4). These 14 selections, in
turn, lead you logically and intuitively through the system submenus.
The FOCUS 200 PLUS operating panel was designed to maximize
functionality while eliminating memorization of complex commands; one
menu leads you to the next — and the next, if necessary — until your
operation is complete.

Operating Panel

Your “key” to the system is your personal 6-digit identification code, which
provides access to all operating functions. The system can be programmed to
limit the operational capabilities of each ID code and user.
As each digit of an ID code is entered from the numeric keypad, the
operating panel will emit a short beep. When the final digit of a valid ID code
is entered, the operating panel will emit a longer beep, signifying the ID code
was accepted.
Note: If you enter 18 incorrect digits, the operating panel will go into “lockout,” preventing further entries for 60 seconds.

– 26 –

System Operation Overview (cont’d)
As selector buttons are pressed, the operating panel will display system
status, selection menus, prompts, and help screens to guide the user through
the various operational capabilities assigned to that user. The messages
displayed on the operating panel can be customized by programming unique
descriptions for the name of each protective point, group of protective points,
holiday, and users.
Note: The operating panel remains “active” for 10 seconds after the entry
of a valid ID code. However, pressing a selector button within the initial 10
seconds extends the “active” period to 60 seconds.
Upon entry of a valid ID code, the operating panel will display the first of
four Action Menus. These Action Menus display all the operating functions
the user can access. To choose a displayed function, simply press the
corresponding selector button.
If you encounter a problem or require additional information during the
operation of the system, simply press the Help button located in the upperleft corner of the operating panel. The display will then provide instructions
and information associated with the specific items displayed on the screen.
The use of the "Help" button will not interfere with the system operation in
process. Press Quit or the upper-left button again to exit the Help display.
If a system trouble or error message is displayed, refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE section. It provides a list of these messages,
a brief explanation of each message, and the required action to resolve the
problem.
Note: The contrast of the display screen can be adjusted at any time.
Simply press the [0] and [#] keys simultaneously which are located on the
numeric keypad. The contrast adjustment options will be shown on the
display screen. To increase the contrast, press the “CONTRAST (+)”
selector button. To decrease the contrast, press the “CONTRAST (-)”

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.
Certain system features and functions can be reprogrammed (changed) from
your remote operating panel. However, to program or reprogram your
system, you must use an ID code that has been assigned with the
appropriate “privilege level” (see User Data later in this section).
You can enter, display, add, delete, and/or change system data from your
operating panel. However, as changes are made, keep accurate and up-todate records to avoid potential errors in the future.
Note: Certain system features and functions must be controlled from the
ADT Customer Monitoring Center. Prior to modifying your system, it is
advisable to check with your ADT Service Representative.
Your interactive operating panel provides four lines of information and/or
messages that prompt you through a simple selection process. If you are
unsure of a procedure, or require additional information or explanation of a
feature or function, simply press the "Help" selector button. You can use the
"Help" button at any time without interfering with the operation in process.

User Data
Your FOCUS 200 PLUS system accommodates up to 255 different six-digit
ID codes. Users must be assigned an ID code in order to access the operating
panel. The first two digits represent the user number. The last four serve as
the Personal Identification Number (PIN), which uniquely identifies the
person operating the system. Without a valid ID code, a user will not be able
to access or operate the system.

– 32 –

System Programming (cont’d)
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). If a user does not have the privilege to operate a
function, it will not be displayed as a selection choice.
Note: Upon installation or initial system setup, one user (e.g., System
Manager) will be assigned the “Privilege Level” to perform the following
functions:
•

Open outside of the schedules (Irregular open).

•

Bypass burglar alarm (BA) protection points.

•

Change temporary schedules.

•

Change permanent daily schedules and the real-time.

•

Change, add, and delete user names, ID codes, card/key codes, cancel
dates, and “Privilege Levels” for users.

Entering or Changing a User Name
Use the following procedure to add new users, change an existing user's
access, or delete existing users from the system.

Daily Operating Schedules
Your FOCUS 200 PLUS system can accommodate two distinct daily
operating schedules (two opening times and two closing times) for each day
of the week for each Burglary (BA) group. Daily operating schedules may be
used to restrict access to the facility and/or system. Users who have not been
assigned “open regular” privilege will be denied access (key or card access
control) or will trip an irregular opening alarm if a BA group is turned off
outside the schedules or on holidays. These schedules also enable your
system to automatically alert the ADT Customer Monitoring Center if the
burglary protection was turned on at the proper time. Your system can also
accommodate schedule limits, which prevent schedule changes that are
outside the schedule limits.

– 43 –

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. It will
affect that day’s (Friday’s) schedule only. The 8:00 PM temporary closing
time will be automatically deleted at midnight, thus restoring the permanent
closing time of 5:00 PM for future Fridays.

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.
• If your schedule is unpredictable, you may need to program a No Close time
period. Upon opening the group, a timer can be preset with a number of hours
and minutes you will be open that day. A closing timer will start when 20
minutes remain. A closing warning will start when only 5 minutes remain. If the
warning and reminder are ignored, and the group is not closed, a No Close signal
will be sent to the ADT Customer Monitoring Center. To program a No Close
time, first select the second schedule for the desired day. Second, delete the
second opening time by pressing Change, Open time, Delete. Third, enter the
number of hours and minutes you will be open on that day as the second closing
time. For example, if you want two hours and 30 minutes, press Change, Close
time, 0, 2, 3, 0, AM. Repeat the procedure for each day that this feature is
desired.
• AM is used for less than 12 hours. If 12 to 24 hours is desired, subtract 12 hours
from the desired length of time, enter the remainder, and press PM. For example,
if you want 14 hours and 20 minutes, press Change, Close time, 0, 2, 2, 0, PM.
• The No Close time will take effect only when the group is opened. If you want the
new time to take effect NOW, first turn on the group and then turn it off.
• The programming of the first schedule for each day is optional. If you do program
the first schedule, openings outside the schedule can be restricted. For example, a
first schedule opening time of 5:00 AM and a first schedule close time of 10:00
PM may restrict certain users from midnight to 5AM and from 10PM to
midnight. Persons who open anytime will be required to close the group in the
specified time period entered in the second close schedule as specified above.

Changing Auto On/Off Schedule
Your FOCUS 200 PLUS security system can accommodate an Auto On/Off
feature. If enabled, the Auto On/Off feature enables your system to
automatically turn itself on and off according to the daily operating schedule
(permanent or temporary) that you have assigned. The Auto On/Off
feature is automatically deleted on holidays and can be cancelled by
deleting a schedule.

– 46 –

System Programming (cont’d)
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.
There are four Auto On/Off options that you may select from. It is
recommended that you discuss these with your ADT Service Representative
to determine which one, if any would be appropriate for your particular
application.
The four options are:
Manual on

Manual off

Automatic off

Manual on

Automatic on

Manual off

Automatic on

Automatic off

Manual: The user must perform the on/off function.
Automatic: The system automatically performs the on/off function.
The Auto On/Off feature is separately programmed for each group and daily
operating schedule. For example, you can select Auto Off for Burglary Group
1 on Saturday and Sunday only.
If your system was programmed with the Auto On/Off feature at the time of
installation, simply follow the steps under Changing Daily Operating
Schedules. Once you have entered AM or PM at step 13, the display will
indicate whether the system can or cannot turn itself on or off at that time.

System Operation
Your FOCUS 200 PLUS security system is controlled through operating
panels conveniently located throughout your facility. See SYSTEM
OPERATION OVERVIEW section for detailed operating instructions and a
description of the operating panel.

Turning On Burglary Protection
Turning on burglary protection will probably be the most used (and most
important) operation for most sites. Take extra time to practice securing and
exiting your premises. Make sure other operators you depend on for site
closings do the same.
If the operating panel is located within the protected area, you must enter
and exit the premises through a pre-determined entry/exit door. If your
system is programmed with an audible exit delay warning, the operating
panel will beep (once every second) during the exit delay period. You must
exit the protected area and close the exit door securely before the exit delay
expires. A 4-second steady tone indicates the expiration of the exit delay. If
you are detained and hear the 4-second tone, return to the operating panel,
re-enter your ID code, and repeat the process for exiting. If there is no exit
delay warning programmed for the group you are in, but you are arming
multiple groups, some of which have exit delay warning, you will hear the
exit delay warning at your keypad.
Note: If you do not exit the protected area prior to the expiration of the exit
delay, an “exit fail” signal will be transmitted to the ADT Customer
Monitoring Center.
The system can be turned on in either the AWAY or STAY mode. The STAY
mode automatically bypasses certain point types. Check with your ADT
service technician to see if your system contains any of these point types.

Turning On ALL Burglary Groups
Before turning on, be sure to secure (or bypass) all protection points.
1. Using the operating panel’s numeric keypad, enter a valid ID code to
display Action Menu 1.

3. Select which arming mode (AWAY or STAY).
4. Press All to turn on all Burglary groups.
5. Secure and exit premises prior to the expiration of the exit delay (if
applicable).

Turning On One or More Burglary Groups
Use this function to turn on certain groups and leave others inactive. This is
especially useful during opening and closing times. After turning off all
Burglary groups, the first person on site may wish to turn a few Burglary
groups back on before the rest of the employees arrive. For example, they
may re-activate door alarms, but leave motion detectors inactive.
Before turning on, be sure to secure (or bypass) all protection points.
1. Using the operating panel’s numeric keypad, enter a valid ID code to
display Action Menu 1.
2. Press Turn on to display Arming Mode screen (if STAY mode is enabled).
3. Select which arming mode (AWAY or STAY). The system displays the
Burglary group status.
4. Press Previous or Next to display the specific Burglary group to be
turned on.

6. Press Continue to display Action Menu 1.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 5 to turn on additional groups.
8. If an outside sounder is installed and optioned, wait to hear a short
“ding” before leaving. The sounder's failure to annunciate the "ding"
indicates ADT has not received the closing signal.

Turning On One or More Burglary Groups Using a Key or Card Reader
Before turning on, be sure to secure (or bypass) all protection points.
1. Press the Next button at or near the entry door and exit the premises.
The red lamp above the button will start to flash.
Note: Failure of the light to flash indicates a door or window is open.
Secure (or bypass) all protection and retry.
2. Within one minute, insert and swipe the access key or card. The red lamp
on the exit button will illuminate steadily. If you are using a key, turn
the key and lock the door.
Note: If the red lamp does not light, the system has not armed. If you
are using a key, the cylinder will not turn and the door will not lock.
Secure (or bypass) all protection and retry.
3. If an outside sounder is installed and optioned, wait to hear a short
“ding” before leaving. The sounder's failure to annunciate the "ding"
indicates ADT has not received the closing signal.

Turning Off Burglary Protection
If the operating panel is located within the protected area, enter through a
pre-determined entry door. The operating panel will emit a steady tone
indicating the entry delay.
Note: If you do not turn the system off prior to the expiration of the entry
delay (steady tone stops), an alarm signal will be transmitted to the ADT
Customer Monitoring Center.

the door. If you are using a strike, pull the door open.
Note: If the green lamp does not light and the red lamp “winks” out
momentarily, it indicates the system is rejecting the access attempt.
The system can reject access for the following reasons:
a. User does not have “irregular open” privilege, and the present time is
outside the schedule or is a holiday.
b. “Lockout” option is selected, and the present time is outside the
schedule or is a holiday.
c. User does not have “open” privilege, and group(s) are on.

Bypassing/Unbypassing Burglary Protection
Bypassing a point or part of the burglary protection will cause the system to
ignore that point or portion of protection until it is unbypassed (restored to
normal operation) or the system is turned off.
Bypassing may be required to ignore a malfunctioning device or to allow
access to permanently secured areas. Only those users assigned the privilege
level of "Can Bypass BA" may bypass and unbypass protection.

Bypassing Protection Points
Note: A bypassed point cannot detect intrusion or an alarm condition.
Before resorting to bypassing a point, attempt to repair or correct the
problem.

Sending Messages to a Pager
The FOCUS 200 PLUS system can transmit messages to up to 8 paging
services (typically one for each group). The types of messages are divided
into 4 categories: System Troubles, Point Troubles, Alarms and Open/Closes.
Additionally, the system can be programmed to attempt to dial the paging
service either once or twice (the default is twice).
The format of the pager message is as follows:
EEE GGG UUUU
EEE = Event Code
GGG = Group Number (001-008)
UUUU = User Number (for open/closes) or Point Number.
The possible event codes are:
111 = Fire Alarm

500 = Group Failed to Turn ON

222 = Hold-up or Hostage Alarm

555 = Point or System Trouble

333 = Burglary Alarm

777 = Group was Turned ON

400 = Group failed to Turn OFF

911 = Personal Emergency (Medical
Alarm)

444 = Group was Turned OFF

The following is an example of a pager message:
444 001 0025 − Group 1 was turned OFF by user 25.

Fire Alarm Application Note
About Fire Alarm Codes
There are various fire alarm codes written by industry associations and institutes.
For example, the National Fire Alarm Protection Association writes the National Life
Safety Code, also known as NFPA 101. There are other fire alarm codes written by
other associations or institutes such as BOCA and ICBO that specify whether or not
a given building or structure type is required to have a fire alarm system and if so
what fire alarm system functions must be supported. Each state and local
government jurisdiction adopts in part or in entirety these codes which become that
jurisdiction’s code.
In addition there are also standards that govern the design, installation and service
of fire alarm systems. For instance, the use and placement of smoke and fire
detection devices is specified in the National Fire Alarm Code. The most popularly
adopted code is the National Fire Alarm Code, commonly referred to as NFPA 72.

Code Enforcement
Codes are enforced by the person who is designated by the state or local government
as the “Authority Having Jurisdiction,” also simply referred to as the “AHJ.” The
AHJ has the delegated power to review and interpret the code as it may pertain to a
particular structure. The AHJ must interpret codes because structures often are not
uniform. So for example, the AHJ will review a fire alarm design for the correct
number of smoke detectors and their placement in relation to the structure’s layout.

ADT’s FOCUS 200 Plus Fire Alarm System Capabilities
The FOCUS CADET security system is Underwriters Laboratories listed for, and
can support, addressable smoke and fire detection, as well as provide fire alarm
warning to your premise’s occupants. It is a best fit for many structures that require
fire alarm in those jurisdictions that allow combination security and fire alarm
systems.
ADT can help you with all your fire alarm system requirements. Even if you already
have a fire alarm system, be sure to involve your local ADT office anytime you are
renovating or expanding your facility. Your local representative can help you
determine how to protect your facility whether it be for fire, security, or critical item
monitoring such as cooler temperatures or storage tank levels.

– 78 –

Emergency Evacuation
Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The
following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection
Association:
1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so
that they can be heard by all occupants.
2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of
escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the
building. The other should be an alternate escape route such as a
window, to be used if your normal exit path is impassable. Station
an escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the
ground.
3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs,
and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for
each room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post
copies of the escape routes in every room.
4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This
will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape.
5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route.
If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door
if smoke or heat rushes in.
6. Where smoke is present, crawl on the ground; do not walk
upright. Smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near
the floor.
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.
8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your
house, where everyone can meet and then take steps to contact
the authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone to
assure that nobody returns to the house — many die going back.

ADDITIONAL TELEPHONE COMPANY INFORMATION
The security control panel must be properly connected to the telephone line with USOC RJ-31X or
RJ38X telephone jack and a matching 8-pin modular “Direct Connect Cord.” The FCC prohibits
customer-provided terminal equipment to be connected to party line or to be used in conjunction with
coin telephone service. Inter-connect rules may vary from state to state.
INCIDENCE OF HARM
In the unlikely event that the communicator should ever cause harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company will notify the telephone subscriber that temporary discontinuance of service may
be required; however, where prior notice is not practical, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service. In the case of temporary discontinuance, the telephone company shall promptly
notify the telephone subscriber, who will be given the opportunity to correct the situation. The
customer also has the right to bring a complaint to the FCC if he feels the disconnection is
unwarranted.
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance, but if advance
notification is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be notified of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC.
CHANGES IN TELEPHONE COMPANY EQUIPMENT OR FACILITIES
The telephone company may make changes to its communications facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures, where such action is reasonably required and proper in its business. Should any changes
render the communicator incompatible with the telephone company facilities, the customer shall be
given adequate notice to make modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

– 80 –

NOTIFICATION
All connections to the telephone network must be made through standard plugs and standard
telephone company jacks, or equivalent, in such manner as to allow for easy and immediate
disconnection of the alarm equipment. If the connecting cord is unplugged from the jack there shall be
no interference to the telephone equipment still connected to the telephone network. Notify the
telephone company if the communicator is removed from the premises and the RJ-31X or RJ38X jack is
no longer needed.
MALFUNCTIONS OF EQUIPMENT
In the unlikely event that the system should ever fail to operate properly, it should be disconnected
from the RJ-31X or RJ38X jack to determine if the problem is with the telephone network or with the
security system. If a problem is found with the communicator, leave disconnected until repaired or
replaced.
If you experience trouble with the telephone equipment, please contact your ADT Customer Service
Representative and ask for information on obtaining service or repairs.
The telephone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the network until the
problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

WARNING!
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection
against burglary or fire or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is
subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For example:
• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to
bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.
• Intrusion detectors (e.g., passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing
devices will not work without power. Battery-operated devices will not work without batteries, with
dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work
if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.
• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the
alarm receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can
occur if a metal object is moved into the path.
• A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
• While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United
States, they may not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of
all fires, according to data published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the
reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows. Smoke
detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires
that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the
other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence
or building. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire.
Moreover, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire
every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety
hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending upon
the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as
anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent
injury or death.
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as
diagrammed in their installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area
protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in
unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place
behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical
tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the
optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in
temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of protected area approaches the temperature
range of 90° to 105°F, the detection performance can decrease.

– 84 –

WARNING!
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
(continued)
• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells, or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if
they are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a
different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people
inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled
from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning
devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.
• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station
may be out of service or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by
sophisticated intruders.
• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient
time to protect themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system,
authorities may not respond appropriately.
• This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this
equipment is designed to last as long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is
inadequate maintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and
transmitters are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is
not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners, and renters should continue to act
prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to
themselves and their loved ones to learn about these developments.

LIMITED WARRANTY
Terms and Conditions Applying to Sale of Equipment
1.
Limited Warranty.
Any part of the system, including the wiring, installed under this Agreement which proves to be defective in material or workmanship within
90 days of the date of completion of installation will be repaired or replaced at ADT's option with a new functionally operative part. Labor and
material required to repair or replace such defective components or to make mechanical adjustments to the system will be free of charge for
a period of 90 days following the completion of the original installation.
This warranty is extended only to the original consumer purchaser of the system and may be enforced only by such person.
To obtain service under this warranty, call or write our local ADT Service Department at the telephone number or address found in your local
yellow pages.
Service pursuant to the warranty will be furnished only during ADT's normal working hours 8:00A.M. to 4:30P.M., Monday through Friday,
except holidays. Services rendered outside the normal working hours of ADT are not within the scope of this warranty and any services
requested to be performed at such times shall be charged for at ADT's then applicable rates for labor and material.
This warranty does not apply to the conditions listed below, and in the event customer calls ADT for service under the warranty and upon
inspection it is found that one of these conditions has led to the inoperability or apparent inoperability of the system, a charge will be made for
the service call of the ADT representative, whether or not he actually works on the system. Should it actually be necessary to make repairs to
the system due to one of the "conditions Not Covered By Warranty", a charge will be made for such work at ADT's then applicable rates for
labor and material.
Conditions Not Covered By Warranty.
A. Damage from accidents, acts of God, alterations, misuse, tampering or abuse. B. Failure of the customer to properly close or secure a
door, window, or other point protected by a burglar alarm device. C. Failure of customer to properly follow operating instructions provided by
ADT at time of installation or at a later date. D. Trouble in leased telephone. E. Trouble due to interruption of commercial power. F. Battery
replacements.
This warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties. Any implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are
limited in duration to a period of 90 days from the date of completion of installation. The exclusive remedy of the customer hereunder shall be
repair or replacement as stated above. Under no circumstances shall ADT be liable to the customer or any other person for incidental or
consequential damages of any nature, including without limitation, damages for personal injury or damages to property, and, however
occasioned, whether alleged as resulting from breach of warranty by ADT, the negligence of ADT, or otherwise, ADT's liability will in no event
exceed the purchase price of the system. Some states may not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or
limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you, unless a longer period is
required by applicable law. Any action against ADT in connection with a system must be commenced within one year after the cause of
action has occurred.
No agent, employee or representative of ADT nor any other person is authorized to modify this warranty in any respect.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
2.
Installation.
ADT agrees to install the equipment in a workmanlike manner in accordance with the following conditions:
A. Customer will make premises available without interruption during ADT normal working hours 8:00A.M. to 4:30P.M., Monday through
Friday, except Holidays. B. Customer understands that the installation will necessitate drilling into various parts of the premises: ADT
intends, generally, to conceal wiring in the finished areas of the premises; however, there may be areas which, due to construction,
decoration, or furnishing of the premises, ADT determines, in its sole discretion, that it would be impractical to conceal wiring and, in such
cases, wiring will be exposed. C. Customer agrees to provide 110 VAC electrical outlets at designated locations for equipment requiring AC
power. D. Customer to provide for lifting and replacing carpeting, if required, for installation of floor mats or wiring.
