command from the CP-3500D telling it to shut down its transceivers. This is only a safe guard in case
the deleted repeater is not powered down prior to deleting it. It is possible that one or more of the
deleted repeaters may not receive the turn off command if a repeater was deleted which was required
to link the turn off command to other deleted repeaters. Any deleted repeater which does not receive
the turn off command will stay active and will allow devices and other repeaters to link to it causing
those devices, annunciators and repeaters to show a test failure trouble on the system.
Always
remove all power to a device, annunciator or repeater and allow it to show a test failure
trouble on the CP-3500D before deleting it. Note: Deleting a device, annunciator or repeater
will cause a checksum bad trouble on the CP-3000A. Refer to the WRA-3 manual for
information on clearing a checksum bad trouble.
4.4.3 Device Zone Assignment
Use of zone assignment to section areas of an installation is common practice in the fire alarm
industry. It offers flexibility to assign devices to activate NAC and other outputs as needed in the
installation or required by local authorities. The CP-3500D has 999 available for use. These will be
entered as 001-999. Zones only need to be entered in installations which require NAC, RB relays or
model 301 tandems smoke detectors to activate. Simple annunciation only installations do not
necessarily require zone programming. Refer to section 4.8 for model 301 zone programming
instructions.
The zones are split into five groups, 001-799, 800-889, 890-895, 896-899 and 900-999. The first zone
group 001-799 applies to alarms. The second zone group 800-889 applies to alarms and requires two
devices in the same zone to be in alarm in order for the zone to become active. The third group 890-
895 is reserved for future use. The fourth group 896-899 is the global zones group for tandem
devices. Only 899 is in use at this time for the model 301 smoke detectors. The alarm zones 001-889
can be used to activate repeater
NAC’s, RB series relay box relays, RM-5 module, SR-5 wireless
relay or model 301 tandem smoke detectors when an alarm is initiated from a device. The trouble
zones 900-999 can be used to activate RB series relay box relays, RM-5 module or SR-5 wireless
relay when any trouble condition is transmitted from that particular transmitter programmed with the
trouble zones. Never assign trouble zones to outputs intended for connection to notification
appliances. Zones cannot be assigned to annunciators. Refer to table 2 for a summary of the zone
allocations.
In order to activate NAC’s or relay box relays, zones also need to be programmed into the repeater.
Refer to the section on repeater NAC/relay programming for instructions on how to program zones
into a repeater. When a device with a programmed zone initiates an alarm or trouble and that device
zone matches any zone p
rogrammed into a repeaters NAC’s or relays that output will activate. Keep
in mind that each device and repeater output can be programmed with up to 3 zones each. This
method of programming allows virtually any installation requirement to be met.
To assign zones to a device access the edit screen for the desired device as described in the
previous section. Move the cursor to the first digit in the zone field and press ENTER. The three
characters for the first zone will be highlighted. Use the UP/DOWN and LEFT/RIGHT keys to select
each number and move between digits of the first zone. The three zones are separate fields so to
move to the second and third zones press ENTER to exit edit mode and use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to
move the cursor to the next zone entry field. Press ENTER to highlight it and edit as needed. When
all of the zones have been entered as desired, press the ENTER key to exit the edit mode. The zone
field will now be unselected. Don’t forget to save your information.
