A Close Look at
the CP-220A
FBI's CP-220A Digital Alarm Receiver is a state-of-the-art device that
supports almost all Communication Formats currently used in the security
industry. With the proper equipment, the CP-220A can simultaneously
process data from up to 8 telephone lines, creating maximum throughput in
busy Central Stations. The CP-220A is capable of:
•accepting most communication formats on the same Line Card (see
Line Cards
on page 1-7)
•monitoring up to 400,000 accounts with 8 Line Cards in use
•storing up to 26 signals per Line Card if receiver activity prevents
immediate message display
•detecting faults on each of the telephone lines in use
•outputing all incoming signals and system messages on a
40-character fluorescent display
•producing different English language messages for each Line Card
installed
•configuration programming via its front panel keypad
•"Listen-In" capability (see
Listen-In
on page 2-34)
•monitoring proprietary accounts without the need for telephone lines
The CP-220A has several basic but primary responsibilities:
•to process the data representing alarm (or supervisory, trouble, or
test) conditions generated by the security systems belonging to the
Central Station's customers
•to display (and optionally print) this data in the format in which it
was sent, along with a short English Language description of the
event, if so programmed
•to pass the data on to an
Automation System
(if available) where it
can be automatically interpreted for use by the Central Station's
operators
The CP-220A has been designed for either desktop use or for rack mounting
−
convenient in the event that more than one Central Station Receiver will
be used.
