Quick Start
Introduction
The QUICK START section is designed to familiarize new users with the
operation of the FOCUS
CADET operating panel in under an hour. It will
introduce you the FOCUS
CADET’ 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
CADET
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
CADET 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.
