External Signal Connections
The model A051 and A056 versions of the CP-3000 are equipped with a
single external signal relay circuit that enables you to activate an
audible device such as a bell or buzzer. The relay contacts of the circuit
are Normally Open and should not exceed Class 2 Circuit requirements
(30 VAC RMS at 3A or 30 VDC at 3A). It is recommended that a Surge
Absorber (Amano P/N ESA-100010) be connected as shown to
eliminate and prevent power line noise or electromagnetic interference
that might enter the CP-3000 via the relay circuit. The duration (in
seconds) that the relay contacts will be activated or closed is set in the
Signal Duration menu item, and the time of the day and day of the
week that this will occur on is set in the Weekly Programming menu.
The wiring schematic for the external signal relay circuit is as follows:
Note: This procedure must be performed with power to both the
external device and the CP-3000 disconnected.
To connect a device to the relay signal circuit, perform the following:
1. Make sure that power to both the external device and the CP-3000
are disconnected.
2. Following the manufacturer’s guidelines for the external device,
connect the signal wires to it and run them to the mounting location
of the CP-3000. Make sure the wires are properly labeled.

Chapter 3: Time Cards
Making a Test Print
1. Make sure that there is power to the CP-3000, and the Mode
Switch is set to NORMAL.
2. Gently Insert a time card into the card throat. The card will
automatically be fed in, printed and ejected. Do not force it in or
attempt to pull it out before it has been ejected.
3. As shipped, the CP-3000 is configured to print the following imprint:
4. If this imprint is acceptable, and is correctly positioned on your time
card, the CP-3000 is ready to be programmed for use (time and
date). If time card adjustments must be made refer to the following
sections in this chapter. If you wish to change the style of the
imprint, you must program an imprint style for your application in
addition to setting the time and date for your CP-3000. Please refer
to the Basic Programming section of Chapter 4 to set year, time,
and date imprints.
5. If the CP-3000 should lose its configuration, it will revert to the
default imprint:

Card Dimensions
The CP-3000 is factory set for use with an 86 mm (3.375”) wide and
0.32 mm (0.0126”) thick standard “Clipper” type time card. The
recommended column dimensions are as follows:
where:
Bm = Bottom Margin, 21 mm (0.827”) from bottom of time card
Sm = Side Margin, 7 mm (0.276”) from left edge of time card
Imprint Length = 44 mm (1.734”)
The CP-3000 allows you the flexibility to modify the time card
dimensions if your application requires it. The Bottom and Side
Margins of the imprint are adjusted in the Program Mode. The time
card width and thickness are mechanical adjustments to the card throat.
Amano Cincinnati, Inc. Time Cards
Card Color
The CP-3000 can be used with most of the colored time cards
available. However, when selecting a time card, you should make sure
that the background color of the card does not interfere with the time
card sensors’ ability to read the contrast between the card and the
Column Position Block in the imprint (see page 15). In addition, the
surface of the time card should be smooth, and clean of any oil, dirt, or
dust. Arough or soiled card surface will also impede the time card
sensors’ ability to read the Column Position Block in the imprint.
Time Card Settings
The Time Card Settings menu in the Program Mode is used to verify
that the Card Type Setting is correct and to adjust the Bottom (Bm)
and Side (Sm) Margins of the imprint. When adjusting these margins,
the length and location of the imprint should be taken into consideration.
Since the CP-3000 uses the Column Position Block on the imprint to
record column position, the imprint can not be aligned with any
corresponding lines or artwork in the card. If this occurs, the card will be
ejected and a “beep” will sound.
Card Type Setting
The only allowable Card Type Setting for the CP-3000 is “18”. This
setting corresponds to an 86 mm (3.375”) wide “Clipper” type card.
This card type is recommended, but others can be used. The card
width can be adjusted mechanically by setting the width of the card
throat. To verify the Card Type Setting, perform the following:
1. Remove the top cover.
Note: ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions should be adhered
to before touching the Mode Switch.
2. Enter the Program Mode by setting the
Mode Switch to PROGRAM.
3. Press the FUNCTION key until the Time
Card Settings menu item appears in the
display.
4. Press the NO key to select the Card Type
Setting Password of “5”.
