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.
