Section 3 - Installation
3.1 Proper Installation Order
The following steps when performed in the listed order will result in a trouble free
installation:
1. Site Signal Survey
2. Control Panel Installation and Basic Programming
3. Device and Repeater Enrollment and installation
4. Control Panel Site Specific Programming
5. Entire installation test
3.2 Preparing the Installation Site
Prior to the installation of a CP-3600(+) system a signal survey must be performed by a factory trained
technician or authorized dealer. The signal survey determines the location of the CP-3600(+),
repeaters, and initiating device transmitters. Refer to the Signal Survey section of this manual for the
proper method to conduct a signal survey. The completed survey becomes the blueprint layout for the
actual installation. When conducting a survey keep in mind the following limitations for each CP-3600(+)
installation:
1. Maximum number of devices including repeaters is 2048 on the CP-3600+. The CP-3600 is limited
to 1024.
2. Maximum number of repeaters between an alarm device and any notification appliance/facp in an
installation is 30. This limitation insures that the UL and NFPA 10 second alarm requirement is met.
3. Maximum number of devices per repeater or direct to the CP-3600(+) is 100. A repeater will
automatically reject any devices in excess of 100 units that try to report directly to it. This is only a
per repeater limitation not a system limitation.
During the survey locate A/C repeaters and CP-3600(+) control panel close to available 120/240 Vac
uninterruptible power. All CP-3600(+) connections must be installed in conduit. When connecting
primary A/C power always follow:
1- National Fire and Electrical Codes (NFPA 72 and NFPA 70)
2- Local Electrical and Fire Code requirements
3- Local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) requirements
WARNING: Make sure A/C supply is turned OFF prior to connecting the CP-3600(+) panel.
3.3 Receiving and Unpacking the Equipment
Upon receiving the equipment, the carton should be inspected for damage, which may have occurred
during shipment. Each package should be checked against the packing slip for completeness.
Differences should be reported to CWSI immediately. If any product is suspected of damage it should
be checked for proper operation or returned to CWSI.
3.4 Installing the CP-3600(+)
WARNING: This equipment must be professionally installed by factory trained personnel. Use
of an antenna other than listed in the compatibility section of this manual may be harmful to
persons, void FCC or damage the equipment. After conducting a signal survey the CP-3600(+)
can be mounted in its intended location. Refer to the signal survey section of this manual for
