Section 2
Programming the CP-220A Receiver
Introduction
Section 2 will take you through the "ins" and "outs" of programming your
CP-220A Receiver and will explain each of the 63 parameters used in
configuring the product. As stated in
Section 1,
each of these parameters has
been factory pre-programmed with defaults that reflect the common usages
and applications of the Receiver. In many cases, only a few of these
parameters may have to be re-programmed to satisfy the needs of the
Central Station.
All programming is done from the keyboard on the CP-220A's front panel.
Because the CP-220A's electronic memory is "non-volatile" – that is, it
retains data without the need for external power – all sources of power can
be removed from the Receiver without losing the current configuration.
The 63 parameters span a range from 00 through 62. It is possible to
program each one in turn, beginning with 00 and ending with 62, but the
approach taken in
Section 2
will be to group all the related parameters into
these three categories whose numbers are not always consecutive:
• Category A: Receiver Operation
• Category B: Printer Operation
• Category C: Computer (
Automation System
) Operation
Because not all Central Stations have a printer or an Automation System
connected to their CP-220A at this time, it may not be necessary to program
the parameters used for these devices until they're incorporated with the
Receiver.
Preparation
for
Programming:
No External
Connections
Made
If you choose to enter programming without making the external
connections discussed on page 1-17, perform the preliminary actions in the
steps detailed on the next page.
If you have already made these connections, proceed to
Preparation for
Programming: External Connections Have Been Made,
on page 2-4.
• Insert the CP-220A's AC Line Cord into an
unswitched
electrical outlet
supplying 120 Volts AC at 60 Hertz.
• During the next 25 seconds (approximately) while the CP-220A performs
some self-checks, its internal sounder will annunciate and several relay
activations may be heard. The MANUAL/PREVIOUS LED will illuminate,
and the NEXT LED will light soon after.
