Wall Mounting

For proper wall mounting, follow these steps:

1.Disconnect the power cord from the power source.

2.Unlock and remove the top cover.

3.Remove the two screws on the top and slide the back plate downward to remove it. Set the CP-5000 face up on a flat surface.

Note: The right side back plate screw also secures a ground wire.

4.Using a punch, knock out the center material from the teardropshaped mounting hole on the back plate.

5.Using the back plate as a template, approximate the final location of the clock, and mark the location of the teardrop mounting hole on the wall.

6.Hang the back plate on a screw or anchor from the teardrop-shaped mounting hole.

7.Level the back plate and mark the location of the bottom two mounting holes.

8.Secure the back plate to the wall by inserting screws through the bottom two mounting holes.

9.Holding the sides of the cover, lift the CP-5000, bottom forward, to the back plate.

10.Align the tabs on the bottom of the CP-5000 housing with the grooves in the bottom flange of the back plate. Hold the CP-5000 in place so that the tabs are even with the bottom flange. Do not rest the unit on the flange.

2-4	CP-5000 User’s Guide

11.Carefully pivot the CP-5000 away from you onto the back plate until its side hooks fit in the slots on the back of the unit. The upper flange of the back plate should be aligned with the slot in the top of housing.

External Signal Connections

The CP-5000 is 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 (24 VDC at 1A). 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-5000 disconnected.

To connect a device to the relay signal circuit, perform the following steps:

1.Make sure that power to both the external device and the CP-5000 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-5000. Make sure the wires are properly labeled.

2-6	CP-5000 User’s Guide

3.Strip approximately .25” (6 mm) of insulation off the ends of the wires that will be connected to the CP-5000.

4.Remove the top cover from the CP-5000.

5.Remove the front cover; support the cover so that it doesn’t hang from the ground wire.

6.With the unit flat and face up, locate terminal block TB1.

7.Using a small-blade screwdriver, loosen the screws on the TB1 side of the connector block.

8.Observing polarity, insert one wire into the CP-5000 through the open hole and connect it to the proper terminal position of TB1. Using a screwdriver, secure the wire in place. Insert the other wire into the unit and secure in place. Make sure that only the stripped wire is clamped, and not the insulation.

9.Check the connections by tugging on each wire. If they appear loose, repeat the previous step.

10.Clamp the signal wires as shown in the following drawing using a cable clamp appropriate to your cable thickness.

Note: This procedure must be performed with the power cord disconnected from the power source.

To install the Full Power Reserve Battery perform the following steps:

1.Remove the top cover.

2.Remove the front cover.

3.Remove the back plate.

4.Remove the backing paper from the Velcro.

5.Slide the battery pack into the compartment and press firmly into place to allow the adhesive on the Velcro fastener to hold.

6.Feed the battery cable through the cable feed slot at the top of the battery compartment and over the top of the PC board.

7.Connect the battery cable to FPR on the PC Board.

2-8	CP-5000 User’s Guide

Note: The battery will not power the clock until after the clock is initially plugged in. Afterwards, power will automatically be supplied by the battery in the event of an AC power failure.

8.Replace the back plate

9.Replace the front cover.

10.Replace the top cover.

Note: To insure premium performance it is recommended that the battery be fully charged prior to use (approximately 24 hours).

Initialization and Reset

Prior to first use, the CP-5000 must be initialized to clear any possible unexpected program parameters. Initialization (All Clear) erases all user programming and resets the time and date to their default settings.

Reset Button

The Reset button can be pressed if the clock becomes unresponsive. This has the same effect as cycling the power, and will not change the time and date or erase any programming.

Insert a small screwdriver into the Reset Hole on the bottom of the unit and press the Reset button.

Initialization (All Clear)

This function is provided to clear all programmed settings (weekly programs, imprint formatting, etc.) from the CP-5000. When used, all programming (including time, date and password) will be erased and the unit will be returned to its default settings. You should only initialize your CP-5000 prior to programming a new unit or when instructed to in the Troubleshooting section of this manual.

Note: ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions should be adhered to when removing the top cover.

2-10	CP-5000 User’s Guide

3.While holding the Reset button, simultaneously press and hold the Enter key and the Change key.

4.Release the Reset button; continue to hold the Enter key and the Change key until five rapid beeps sound, indicating a successful reset to all default settings (showing a time of

12:00 AM on January 1, 2007). After a few moments, the clock will return to its Enter Password mode.

5.Enter the default password (0000) and reprogram the unit as desired. Set the Mode Switch to Normal and reinstall the top cover.

When the AC power is properly connected, the LED will cease to flash and the LCD display will show normal time indication in the (12 hour) format:

Note: If using the Full Power Reserve Battery, to insure premium performance, it is recommended that the battery be fully charged prior to use (approximately 24 hours).

Note: If using the Full Power Reserve Battery, to avoid damaging the battery or draining it to an unrecoverable level, keep the machine plugged into an AC power source during normal operation. The Full Power Reserve Battery is intended for limited power outage usage, and not as a power source during normal operations.
