3.1 Proper Installation Order
The following steps when performed in the listed order will result in a trouble
free installation:
1. Site Signal Survey
2. Control Panel Installation and Basic Programming
3. Device and Repeater Enrollment
4. Control Panel Site Specific Programming
5. Repeater and Device installation and testing
3.2 Preparing the Installation Site
Prior to the installation of a CP-3000 system a signal survey must be been performed by a factory
trained technician or authorized dealer. The signal survey determines the location of the CP-3000,
repeaters, and initiating device transmitters. Refer to the CWSI Signal Survey manual and individual
CWSI device manuals for the proper method to conduct a signal survey. The completed survey
becomes the blueprint layout for the actual installation.
During the survey try to locate A/C repeaters and CP-3000 control panel close to available 120 Vac
uninterruptible power. All CP-3000 connections must be installed in conduit. When connecting
primary A/C power always follow:
1- National Fire and Electrical Codes (NFPA 72 and NFPA 70)
2- Local Electrical and Fire Code requirements
3- Local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) requirements
WARNING: Make sure A/C supply is turned OFF prior to connecting the CP-3000 panel.
3.3 Receiving and Unpacking the Equipment
Upon receiving the equipment, the carton should be inspected for damage, which may have occurred
during shipment. Each package should be checked against the packing slip for completeness.
Differences should be reported to CWSI immediately. If any product is suspected of damage it should
be checked for proper operation or returned to CWSI.
3.4 Installing the CP-3000
WARNING: This equipment must be professionally installed by factory trained personnel. Use
of an antenna other than listed in the compatibility section of this manual may be harmful to
persons, void FCC or damage the equipment.
After conducting a signal survey the CP-3000 can be mounted in it’s intended location. The following
should be considered and or adhered to when mounting the unit.
1 – ALL WIRING SHOULD COMPLY WITH NATIONAL AND/OR LOCAL
