System Overview (cont’d)
Automated Recording and Documenting
The ADT FOCUS
CADET provides complete documentation and event-
recording capabilities. The system prints all desired events and stores the
last 512 system events in memory. The types of events recorded in the
memory are:
•
Changes in the system
status.
•
Activation/deactivation of
points or groups.
•
Use of a card/key reader.
•
Modifications to user or system
data.
In addition to the 512-event history log, the FOCUS
CADET operators may
obtain a real-time printout of all events at a remote printer.
The system’s powerful data-handling capabilities are indispensable for
keeping track of system status, for assuring smooth operation, for verifying
workplace safety and security, and for documenting employee access.
Summary
ADT’s FOCUS
CADET 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 nontechnical 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
CADET 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.
