– Signal Survey
8.1 New Installation Survey
This survey method is to determine acceptable locations for devices, annunciators and repeaters
prior to installing the equipment. It will also determine the quantity of repeaters required in the
installation. You will need a minimum of one Model AR-5 repeater and one Model 345(TS) Fire
transmitter to conduct the survey. The Model 345(TS) transmitter will serve as a repeater when
conducting repeater to repeater signal tests. If the installation requires smoke detectors you will need
one to conduct the survey. A magnet will also be required to activate the signal survey routine in the
transmitters.
Begin by locating the dip switch SW2 on the repeater board. Refer to figure 4 for the switch location.
Set dip switch #1 of SW2 to the right or off position. Switches 2-6 should be on or to the left. Attach
one of the compatible antennas to connector A then connect the batteries to the repeater. Refer to
figure 4 in this manual for correct wiring. The repeater is now waiting to receive a survey transmission
from any transmitter.
Begin by holding the repeater in the intended location of the CP-3500D facp. The first step is to
survey the reception area of the control panel and which devices can report directly to it without a
repeater. Use the type of transmitter that will be mounted in the location being tested. Install a battery
in the transmitter to be tested and a single beep should be emitted from the transmitters sounder
followed by two beeps indicating it has established communication with the repeater. The two beep
confirmation signal must be heard before the survey can be conducted. If the single beep is heard but
the two beeps are not, momentarily place a magnet next to the appropriate survey location of the
transmitter being used. Once the initial beep is heard the magnet can be removed while waiting for
the confirmation signal. Continue this until the one beep and two beep confirmation tones are both
heard. Refer to the device manual to locate the magnet survey location of each transmitter. Once
repeater device communication has been established the survey can begin.
Hold the device in the desired mounting location and initiate the survey signal test with the magnet
held to the appropriate location on the device under test. The start of the survey is indicated by a
single beep at the device and repeater. The end of the survey is indicated by either a single beep or
two beeps at the device only. A single beep is the indication of an unacceptable survey and two
beeps indicates a successful survey. A minimum of 5 consecutive successful surveys with the device
held in the mounting location must be accomplished to validate the location as an acceptable for
mounting the device. If an unacceptable survey is the result then communications between the
repeater and device being tested will have to be reestablished as described above to continue with
the survey. Continue the survey until the range of the CP-3500D location is established.
Once the device locations exceed the range of the CP-3500D a repeater location will have to be
determined to extend the installation to receive devices located outside the reception range of the
CP-3500D. To test repeater to repeater communications use the repeater along with a Model 345(TS)
Fire transmitter. The Fire Transmitter must be used to simulate the second repeater. Do not use any
other transmitter for repeater to repeater testing. Choose a desired location for the first repeater. Hold
the Fire Transmitter at the desired repeater location and test for a good survey as described above. A
good survey must be established at this location before it can be used to locate a repeater and
