DATA SHEET / MANUAL
ZR1 & PR2
COMMERCIAL PROCESSOR REMOTES
CP64S & CP52S CONNECTIONS
Turn the power to the CP unit OFF until all connections are made.
EUROBLOCK CONNECTIONS
When wiring to Euroblocks, a minimum wire gauge of 22 is pre-
ferred for reliability. If the ground or shield wire is left shorter,
it acts as a strain relief for the other wires. Cable with a flexible
jacket is easier to use and less likely to damage the connections.
Avoid stripping excess insulation. Inspect wires for nicks that
may lead to wire breakage. Fully insert each wire in the appropri-
ate socket and tighten the screw.
REMOTE INSTALLATION
The CP64S supports wired remotes for Page Assign (PR2) and
Zone Level and Zone Source (ZR1) selection. The CP52S only
supports Zone Level and Zone Source (ZR1) selection. Wire
lengths of up to 1000 feet are possible. A brief list of suitable
wire types is provided below in the section on Wire Types.
The
PR2
remote provides Page Zone Assign for Page 1 and
Page 2 signals and is usually located at the Page source. If your
application requires one of the two PAGE ASSIGN switches to
control both Page 1 and Page 2 Assign, simply wire Page 1 and
Page 2 control bits in parallel. You may wish to leave the knob
off the unused control and cover it with one of the hole plugs
provided in the kit. If your installation requires Page 1 and Page
2 remote control at two different locations, only three wires are
required for each PR2 remote (Z1, Z2 & GND). As above, you
may wish to leave the knob off the unused control and cover it
with a hole plug.
The
ZR1
remote provides Zone Level and Source Selection,
allowing local control from inside the zone. Two ZR1 remotes
may be used (use only one for each Zone). If only one of the two
controls is used, you may cover the unused control with one of
the hole plugs provided in the kit. If you require one ZR1 remote
to control both Zones, simply wire the ports in parallel. This
may be done with selector only, volume only or both. If only one
of the two controls is wired in parallel, the other is still available
for a second remote.
When paralleling one remote across multiple CP64Ss, all
three control pins must be wired, including the shields.
Power to the CP64S or CP52S should be
off
until all connec-
tions are made. It is important to ensure that the Remote Ports
are not subjected to sustained voltages outside the range of 0 to
5 volts DC or high levels of static. Inputs are protected, howev-
er, caution is the better part of... you know. It is a good idea to
install the wiring, connect it to the remote assemblies and then
make the final connections at the CP unit. Do
not
short Vr1 or
Vr2 pins to ground. These pins
are
current limited, however, ex-
cess heat is generated in the 5 volt supply if a short occurs.
Never
subject the Vr1 or Vr2 pins to voltages above 5 volts.
REMOTE MOUNTING
The ZR1 and PR2 remote assemblies mount in a standard U.S.
electrical box with a minimum depth of 2.25" (5.5 cm). Be sure
to note the wire color of each input in order to facilitate correct
wiring to the CP unit. Connect each wire to the 5-pin connec-
tor by fully inserting it in the correct socket and tightening the
screw. Make sure wires are free of nicks and that the cable jacket
is stripped back sufficiently to allow it to lie in the electrical box
with the remote assembly inserted. Use the flat head #6 screws
supplied with the kit to mount the remote assembly and silk-
screened front panel to the electrical box (see above diagram).
Note the “UP” arrow screened on the printed circuit board of
each remote (mount it pointing
up
).
Install each knob so that the line on the knob is properly
aligned with the silk-screening on the front panel of the remote
assembly. Install any Decora plate of your choice. For a secured
installation, you may wish to leave the knobs off and use a blank
Decora plate to cover the remote after adjustment.
