Purposes and Store It for Safekeeping!
Every CP-220A Digital Alarm Receiver is furnished with a unique four-digit
Access Code that is required to configure, or program, the unit so that it
conforms to the needs of your Central Station. The Access Code should be
available only to those individuals who have the responsibility of maintaining
and updating the CP-220A.
The Access Code is found in two locations: one on, and one within, the
receiver. After reading the following information, please make note of this
4-digit code in the spaces provided below and, for safekeeping and security
purposes, remove and store this page away from the receiver. The Access
Code, as found in each of the two locations, is identical.
Location 1: On the Rear Panel
The Access Code is the first four digits of the CP-220A's Serial Number,
which can be found on the right side of the rear panel. See Figure 1-6 on page
1-11.
Location 2: On the REC-20 Main CPU Card
a) Slot 11 (corresponding to J11) within the receiver contains its Main
CPU Card, part number REC-20. Carefully withdraw this card by
following the instructions on page 1-8.
b) On the card, locate the “chip” designated as U13 (marked in tiny
letters on the card), which is at the top middle of the board. The
four-digit Access Code will be written on the label affixed to the
chip.
c) Carefully replace the REC-20 board in the J11 slot.

Getting Acquainted
To the New

What Is a
Central Station
Digital
Receiver?
Working in a Central Station can be a rather imposing responsibility. To a
newcomer, the busy atmosphere, along with the electronic equipment,
computer screens, and telephone consoles may seem very imposing. Beneath
it all lies the primary purpose of the Central Station: to help protect the life
and property of its commercial and residential customers, people who have
security systems installed in their businesses or homes. Central Stations
also provide other functions for their subscribers, which will become
apparent as you get better acquainted with your responsibilities. Eithe
way, you can be proud that you are associated with an organizatio
dedicated to the safety and security of its customers. In your role as an
operator or dispatcher, you will no doubt make an important contribution to
that cause.
This manual has been written to help to acquaint you with one of the majo
elements in your Central Station's operation—the FBI CP-220A CentralStation Digital Receiver.
A Central Station Digital Receiver is a key piece of equipment found in
virtually all Central Stations. It is designed to receive information about the
events detected by the security system in the premises of the Central
Station's customers. Such events may have a bearing on the customer's
well-being, the security of the premises, and even the operation of the alarm
system itself.
The transmission of information to the Central Station is normally initiate
as a telephone call by the security system at the customer's premises and
carried over the regular telephone network to the Digital Receiver at the
Central Station. Once the Receiver answers the call, electronically encoded
information related to the customer's account is communicated. Once suc
messages have been checked for accuracy and are determined to be
legitimate, the Receiver at Central Station sends a signal back to the
customer's alarm system informing it that its message has been received
and instructing it to "hang up" the line.
Figure 1-1 on the following page summarizes this process and illustrates
how it takes place. The circled numbers in the figure refer to the sequence o
events listed below it.

Communication Formats
Unfortunately, manufacturers of security equipment have
not always been able to agree on the best way to
communicate data between a protected premises and a
Central Station. As a result, a variety of different
communication formats or "protocols" have emerged
claiming to have particular distinctions or advantages over
the others. To be effective, the CP-220A Digital Receiver
must be able to process communications from a wide range
of security products produced by many different
manufacturers. Fortunately, Digital Receivers like the
CP-220A have the "intelligence" to recognize the different
communication protocols it receives and make the proper
adjustments so it can correctly interpret the data
automatically and transparently to the operator.

deliver common information about the protected premises.
This information includes an account number identifying
the customer from whose premises the report is being
made, as well as information about the nature of the report, seen in Figure 1-2 as the Reporting Code. The
figure provides an example of a popular reporting format
that carries sufficient information for an operator at the
Central Station to properly dispatch the event.

the CP-220A
FBI's CP-220A Digital Alarm Receiver is a state-of-the-art device tha
supports almost all Communication Formats currently used in the securit
industry. With the proper equipment, the CP-220A can simultaneousl
process data from up to 8 telephone lines, creating maximum throughput i
busy Central Stations. The CP-220A is capable of:
•accepting most communication formats on the same Line Card (see
Line Cards on page 1-7)
•monitoring up to 400,000 accounts with 8 Line Cards in use
•storing up to 26 signals per Line Card if receiver activity prevents
immediate message display
•detecting faults on each of the telephone lines in use
•outputing all incoming signals and system messages on
40-character fluorescent display
•producing different English language messages for each Line Card
installed
•configuration programming via its front panel keypad
•"Listen-In" capability (see Listen-In on page 2-34)
•monitoring proprietary accounts without the need for telephone lines
The CP-220A has several basic but primary responsibilities:
•to process the data representing alarm (or supervisory, trouble, or
test) conditions generated by the security systems belonging to the
Central Station's customers
•to display (and optionally print) this data in the format in which it
was sent, along with a short English Language description of the
event, if so programmed
•to pass the data on to an Automation System (if available) where it
can be automatically interpreted for use by the Central Station's
operators

NOTE 2: The CP-220A is equipped with a Line Card
Retaining Bar to prevent its replaceable circuit
cards from being dislodged during shipping. If the
CP-220A is to be rack mounted or will otherwise
remain stationary, the Line Card Retaining Ba
can be removed so that Line Cards may be easil
added or replaced, should that be necessary. This
procedure is explained in Step 3 on page 1-8.
Although the CP-220A may seem
imposing to the first-time user, it has
been designed so that its setup and
operation are based on logical steps,
which will be covered in this manual.
FIGURE 1-3
The following steps describe the procedures through which
you can become familiar with your CP-220A and, if desired,
you can remove of the Line Card Retaining Bar.
Step 1: Gaining Access
Before beginning, make sure the CP-220A is not connected
to any source of power – whether it be AC or battery.
a) Remove the four mounting screws that secure the top
cover, located on the left and right sides of the unit.
Pull the cover straight up and off. To avoid misplacing
the screws, partially re-thread them into the holes from
which they were removed. See Figure 1-3.
b) Remove the four screws securing the front panel and
lay the panel face down on a soft surface, as shown in
Figure 1-4. Be careful not to scratch the display
window or separate the front panel's ribbon or wired
cables from their connectors. As before, partially
re-thread the front panel's retaining screws into the
holes from which they were removed, to avoid loss.

Step 2: Inspecting the CP-220A
a) Looking directly into the CP-220A from the front, it
should be clear that a number of electronic circuit
boards, or cards, can be installed so that they each
plug into a mating edge connector on a circuit board
located midway between the front and rear of the
CP-220A's housing.
b) Note that such edge connectors are labeled with
designations from J1 through J12. Your CP-220A
should be equipped with several such cards that have
already been plugged into the appropriate connectors.
Among them are at least two Line Cards, either
REC-1 or REC-11: one occupying Slot 1 (corresponding
to J1) and one occupying Slot 8 (corresponding to J8).
Slots 2 through 7 (corresponding to J2 through J7) are
available for additional Line Cards as the need arises.
Opening the CP-220A as
described reveals several
important aspects of the
receiver, which will be
detailed in the following text.

FIGURE 1-4
c) Slot 9 (corresponding to J9, for which there is no edge
connector) must always be left blank.
d) Slot 10 (corresponding to J10) contains the receiver's
Jumper Card, known as REC-21.
e) Slot 11 (corresponding to J11) contains the receiver's
Main CPU Card, known as REC-20.
f) Slot 12 (corresponding to J12) contains the receiver's
I/O (Input/Output) Card, known as REC-3.
The Retaining Bar:
An Important Note!
Newer versions of the
CP-220A use a
retaining bar that is
integrated into the
receiver’s front panel,
rather than into its
chassis. If your CP220A has this type of
arrangement, it is NOT
necessary to perform
the instructions in Step
3, at the right.
Step 3: Removing the Line Card Retaining Bar
a) Locate the Line Card Retaining Bar, which is the black
bar spanning the top of the twelve card slots. As shown
in Figure 1-4, the bar is held in position by a
screw/lockwasher/nut combination located on each side
of the CP-220A.
b) Removing the bar is optional. Doing so permits easy
access to the CP-220A's Line Cards (occupying Slots 1
through 8) and circuit cards (occupying Slots 10
through 12), should such cards ever need to be added or
replaced. Note that if the bar is to be removed, it must
be replaced if the unit is ever shipped, to avoid possible
damage to the cards in the CP-220A.
c) Carefully loosen and remove each screw/lockwasher/nut
combination supporting the Line Card Retaining Bar.
As before, to avoid loss, re-thread each set of fasteners
into the hole in the CP-220A's chassis from which they

While working inside the
CP-220A, all sources of power (both AC and
Battery Backup) must be

is applied.
were removed.
d) Keep the Line Card Retaining Bar in a safe place for
future use.
Step 4: Removing Cards in the CP-220A
Once the Line Card Retaining Bar has been removed,
any Line Card or Circuit Card can be withdrawn from
the CP-220A by firmly grasping its white handle, or
card puller, and pulling straight out. Once it has been
removed, handle the card carefully.
Step 5: Obtaining Your Access Code
To properly set up your CP-220A, it will have to be
configured, or programmed, for the operation desired. To
"enter" the programming mode, you will need an Access Code, unique to your CP-220A. Information on obtaining
this Access Code can be found on the first page of this
manual – a page that should be removed for security
reasons. If you haven't already done so, locate this page
and use the information provided to obtain your Access
Code.
At this point, store the page apart from the manual for
safekeeping. You will have to use the Access Code in
Section 2 when you first "enter" the programming mode.

Step 6: Replacing Cards in the CP-220A
a) When inserting a card, carefully guide it into the
designated slot, being sure that its electronic
components are facing toward the left. Once the card
reaches the edge connector, push it firmly until it snaps
into place.
b) Reinstall the CP-220A's front panel and top cover at this
time by reversing the sequence covered earlier in Step 1.
The front panel of the CP-220A contains all of the controls
and features necessary for an operator at the Central
Station to use the Receiver and interpret the information i
produces.
The front panel of the CP-220A provides a
display that produces all the necessar
information needed by an operator to
process alarm, trouble, and supervisor
messages received from the Central
Station's subscribers. To its right is a keypad
that is used primarily to program the
CP-220A with an operating configuration
desired by the Central Station. On the lef
side of the unit, a loudspeaker, a volume
control, and a headphone jack provide the
operator with the ability to "listen in" to the
activities surrounding the conditions tha
have caused alarms from designated
subscribers. Finally, a series of 8 indicators
(LEDs) correspond to the activities of up to 8
Line Cards placed in the receiver. See the
text for additional details.

Loudspeaker
At the lower left of the front panel is a loudspeaker, which is
used with the CP-220A's Listen-In capabilities. Individual
subscriber accounts may take advantage of the Listen-
feature, in which the audible activities and conversations
surrounding alarm conditions from such subscribers can be
heard, recorded, and evaluated. Listen-In is particularly wel
suited to Medical Emergencies, but can be used i
conjunction with virtually all types of alarms.
NOTE: Detailed information on the CP-220A's Listen-
functions can be found in Section 2, beginning o
page 2-34.
Headphone Jack
For private listening, the Headphone Jack will accept
standard ¼ inch monophonic plug to which an 8-ohm
monaural headset is connected. When used, the headset will
silence the loudspeaker.
If necessary, stereo headsets (like those used with
Walkman®-type products) that have 3.5mm-diameter stereo
mini-plugs (see "A" at the left) can be accommodated to
operate with the CP-220A by following the steps below:
1. For best performance with the CP-220A, the stereo
headphones you obtain should have an impedance as
close to 8 as possible.
2. Purchase an adapter that converts the headphone's
3.5mm stereo mini-plug to a ¼" monophonic plug (see "B"
at the left).
NOTE: An adapter manufactured by International
Components Corporation (Model 35-160) or its
equivalent will be suitable for this purpose. I
desired, call (800) 645-9154 or (516) 293-1500 for

Volume Control
The Volume Control adjusts the volume level of the speake
or, if used, the headset. It also affects the output leve
obtained from the "Listen-In Audio" terminals on the rear o
the receiver (see Figure 1-6).
LED Indicators
Eight LED (Light-Emitting Diode) indicators are provided to
represent each of the 8 possible Line Cards that the
CP-220A is capable of using. Each LED, when lit, indicates
that there is activity on the corresponding Line Card. Unde
typical conditions, it is normal for an LED to flash on and of
when processing data.

provide a “hard copy” of all events
passing through the receiver; and a
Computer, used to automate Central
Station operations.
CP-220A Central Station Receiver Section 1: Getting Acquainted Page 1-11
Hook-Up and Installation Manual
The rear panel of the CP-220A contains two fuses and
variety of connection points for several types of devices and
services, each of which will be discussed below.
FIGURE 1-6
• AC Power
• a Standby Battery
• an Earth Ground connector
• incoming Telephone Service
• connections to test the interaction between a Digital
Communicator and the Line Cards in the CP-220
without the need for telephone service
• a Printer for logging events
• a Computer for Central Station Automation
• a remote alerting Sounder
• a remote Listen-In Speaker or tape recorder
• a Modem for remote communication of the data received
by the CP-220A
The details of each of these devices and their connections are
discussed below.
AC Power
The AC Line Cord at the lower right of the rear panel is
plugged into a 120 Volt AC / 60 Hertz (Hz) source o
commercial power, which must not be switch-controlled.
Because the CP-220A has no ON/OFF switch, it will powe
up as soon as it's plugged in.
What Makes a Good Ground?
Grounding provides a degree of
protection for any piece of electronic
equipment against lightning-induced
transients, which may cause
permanent or temporary general
malfunctions.
The ideal “ground” is considered to
be a
unified earth ground
8-foot copper-clad rod, located close
to the existing power and telephone
ground rods, is sunk several feet into
the earth. Appropriate hardware and
clamps are then used to electrically
connect each of these rods together.
Since this procedure is difficult in
most cases, an alternative earth
ground connection can be made to a
conductive metal cold water pipe
within the premises. Because such
pipes ultimately route their way into
the earth, the attachment to the pipe
of a suitable metal clamp and a
length of wire can make an effective
ground connection for the CP-220A.
When connecting the ground wire,
observe the limitations cited at the
right and make sure the connection
is secure. Also, verify that the pipe is
metallic throughout its entire run into
the earth, because much of today’s
plumbing is made from PVC (plastic)
compounds. Do not use a hot water
pipe for grounding because it will
likely attach to a heating apparatus
that may not, itself, be grounded.
It may be possible to use an existing
electrical ground on the premises if
one is close enough to the receiver.
Ideally, that ground can be obtained
at the metal panel where the
incoming electrical service originates.
Once again, use the same guidelines
cited for your wiring and be sure the
wiring attachment is secure. If in
doubt, you may wish to enlist the
help of a licensed electrician in
matters concerning grounding.
in which an
AC Fuse
Directly above the Line Cord is the unit's "master fuse." If
this fuse is either blown or removed, the CP-220A will be
unable to operate from AC power. After the cause of a blown
fuse is determined, replace it with an AGC-Type or
GLH-Type 1½-ampere fast-blow fuse. The approximate
dimensions of this fuse are 1¼" long x ¼" diameter. The AC
Fuse can be removed by pressing down on the cap and
turning it a quarter turn to the left. Replace fuses in the
opposite manner.
NOTE: The CP-220A will operate without its AC Fuse if a
suitable Standby Battery is properly connected and
the Battery Fuse is intact. The Standby Battery and
its fuse are discussed below.
Earth Ground
To protect the CP-220A from damage due to the effects of
lightning, a solid 14-gauge wire (or larger [numerically
lower] size) must be attached to this terminal and run to
where an acceptable electrical ground connection can be
made. Keep this wire as short as possible and do not run it
in conduit, coil it, bend it sharply, or run it alongside other
wiring. If you must bend it or change its direction, it should
have a radius of at least 8 inches at the point it is bent.
Additional grounding information is provided at the left.
Standby Battery
At the lower left corner of the rear panel is a white molex
connector used for the connection of a standby battery.
Standby batteries will, in the absence of AC Power or an
intact AC fuse, operate the CP-220A for up to 24 hours,
depending on the amount of activity logged by the Central
Station.
This battery, a 12-Volt, 55 Amp-Hour (AH) rechargeable gel
cell, is connected to the CP-220A via an FBI-furnished
No. 135 cable. The battery charging current is limited to a
maximum of 5 amperes. Refer to Figure 1-6 on previous
page.
NOTE: Using a Globe, 12-Volt DC, 55AH, UL-Listed gel cell
(or equivalent) will maintain the CP-220A's
operation for (typically) 24 hours in the event of an
AC power outage.
UL NOTE: When used for Central Station Service, a
minimum of 24 hours of backup power is required.
When used for Remote Station Service, a minimum
of 60 hours of backup power is required.

Hook-Up and Installation Manual
Battery Fuse
Directly above the Standby Battery Connector is the unit's
Battery Fuse, which protects both the CP-220A and the
battery against the high currents that would occur if the
battery were connected with its polarity reversed. The
battery fuse is an AGC-Type or GLH-Type 8-ampere
fast-blow fuse, and like the AC Fuse, its approximate
dimensions are 1¼" long x ¼" diameter. As before, remove
such a fuse by pressing down on the cap and turning it a
quarter turn to the left. Replacement is done in the opposite
manner.
NOTE: The CP-220A will operate from a suitable Standby
Battery if the receiver is either deprived of AC
power or its AC Fuse is blown.
Listen-In Audio Connector
At the upper left of the rear panel, a set of two terminals is
provided (marked by two asterisks) for the connection of an
external device (e.g., a loudspeaker or a tape recorder) that
can be used to monitor or record the audible activities that
take place at the premises while a Listen-In account is
reporting.
Any device connected in this manner must present an
impedance to the CP-220A of no less than 8 ohms, and will
receive the same output provided to the front panel's
loudspeaker and headphone jack. The output at these
terminals is affected by the volume control on the front
panel but is not influenced by the connection of
headphones.
More information about Listen-In Accounts can be found in
Section 2.
NOTE: Connection of a tape recorder to the Listen-In Audio
Connector may require a special cable or the
modification of the cable supplied with the recorder.
Sounder
The two corresponding terminals (marked by two asterisks)
represent a set of normally-open dry contacts that close
whenever the receiver's internal sounder is activated. They
allow for the connection of a remote annunciating device,
either audible or visual, which can be used to alert
personnel in another area of the Central Station that the
receiver may require attention or operator intervention.
CP-220A Central Station Receiver Section 1: Getting Acquainted Page 1-13
Hook-Up and Installation Manual
Remote annunciation – either audible, or
visual, or both – can be triggered by the
CP-220A whenever its own internal
sounder is activated. A typical application
of this process is shown at the right.
Important!
The cable numbers designated in this
printer port and the next two CP-220A
ports appear on the rear panel above
the port.
What Kind of Printer?
What Kind of Cable?
Even with an Automation System installed, a printer
that can log the events processed by the CP-220A
is highly desirable for several reasons:
• it prints a hard-copy reference of all CP-220A
activities as they occur
• resulting printouts can be used for diagnostic
purposes
• such printouts represent a legal record of the
receiver's operation and may be needed for this
purpose.
The best type of printer for event logging is a
common
(also known as a
connected to the receiver with a suitably long cable
(not to exceed 10 feet), equipped with a
connector at each end and secured by clips for that
purpose.
Virtually any such printer will be suitable, but for
Central Stations that must meet Underwriters
Laboratories requirements, only printers and cables
"listed" by UL may be used. If this is the case, FBI
can supply a custom-made cable (No. 132A) for this
purpose. Additionally, a list of several printers that
have been recognized by UL for use with the
CP-220A appears below. Because this list is
changeable and printers are continually being
added and withdrawn from the market, feel free to
contact FBI (at (800) 645-7492) to obtain a revised
listing:
• any Centronics-manufactured printer
• ADEMCO No. 6960-1 • Epson LX-80 or RX-80
• Okidata 82, 82A, 86P, 92P, 93P, and 182

Printer (No. 132A Cable)
This connector (or port) feeds data to a printer used to log
all events processed by the CP-220A. A cable of the
appropriate length is required to join the printer and the
receiver and must be equipped with Centronics-type
connectors at each end. See the box on page 1-14 for
additional information
Printer (No. 132 Cable)
A similar connection can be made between the printer and
the receiver by using this alternate printer port, although
it's less common and requires a nonstandard cable.
To DTE (No. 133 Cable)
This connector (designated here as DTE [Data Terminal
Equipment]) feeds the "raw" data processed by the CP-220A
directly to the serial communications (or RS-232) port of a
computer, which, when used in conjunction with the
appropriate Central Station Automation Software, can
expedite and simplify the job of monitoring alarms.
The cable plugged into this port is known as a serial cable; the
end of this cable at the CP-220A is a 25-pin "DB"-type (male)
connector; its other end will vary according to the type of serial
port provided by the computer, and may have either 9 or 25
pins. The FBI No. 133 is a UL-Listed custom-made cable that
provides the proper wiring and required connectors for this
purpose.
Information about interfacing the CP-220A with a Central
Station Automation System is further discussed in Section 2
(see pages 2-73 and 2-74).
To DCE
This connector (designated here as DCE [Data
Communications Equipment]) is used to feed the "raw" data
processed by the CP-220A directly to the communications
Page 1-14 Section 1: Getting Acquainted CP-220A Central Station Receiver
Hook-Up and Installation Manual
The 8 pairs of TIP and RING terminals
marked 1 through 8 accept up to eight
telephone lines and correspond to the
eight available Line Card slots within
the CP-220A. Each incoming
telephone line consists of two wires
designated as the "TIP" and "RING,"
which reflect their polarity. The normal
non-ringing, "on-hook" voltage
produced by such pairs is typically
between 48 and 55 volts DC, with the
positive conductor designated as "TIP"
and the negative conductor
designated as "RING." This
nomenclature dates back to the time
when switchboard operators used
phone plugs with "tip" and "ring"
conductors to make manual telephone
connections between calling parties.
While such methods are no longer is
use, the "tip" and "ring" designations
have remained.
(or RS-232) port of a modem or to another computer.
When used with a modem, the CP-220A can send the data
it processes via the modem to a remote location (similarly
equipped with a modem), where it can be viewed, printed,
and/or stored.
NOTE: The use of a modem in this regard is beyond the
scope of this manual. Inquiries about such
applications should be made to FBI's Technical
Support Department by calling (800) 645-7492.
The cable used with such applications is also known as a
serial cable and connects the CP-220A's DCE port to the
corresponding port on the modem (or computer). The end of
this cable at the CP-220A is a 25-pin "DB"-type connector;
as with the DTE cable mentioned earlier, its other end will
vary according to the type of serial port provided by the
modem (or computer). Once again, contact FBI for help in
cabling either of these ports to the corresponding
equipment.
AUX. 1 / AUX. 2
The AUX. 1 and AUX. 2 ports are used in conjunction with
a REC-10 Line Card, which, when installed in the receiver,
enables the CP-220A to receive and process signals from
Derived Channel equipment in use in various locales
throughout the country. Derived Channel technology
provides telephone system supervision so that, along with
alarms and system troubles, telephone service outages due
to vandalism, accidents, or weather conditions can be
reported to the proper Central Station.
The REC-10 Line Card is designed to process such
information using Versus Technologies' Base 10 format.
Telephone Lines
The CP-220A has the capacity to handle simultaneous
incoming calls from up to 8 telephone lines. As stated on
page 1-5, this requires the use of up to eight Line Cards,
each of which corresponds to one of the eight telephone line
connections on the CP-220A's rear panel.

Hook-Up and Installation Manual
Beneath the "TIP" and "RING" designations, there are 9 screw terminals i
a row marked "MANUAL." Those numbered 1 through 8 correspond to Line
Card Slots 1 through 8 and can be used in the testing of Digital
Communicators without the need for a telephone line. Any Line Cards inside
the CP-220A can also be tested via this method.
At this point, the CP-220A Digital Receiver is ready to be programmed. The
CP-220A has many programmable features, called parameters, which ca
enhance and customize its operation to best suit the requirements of you
Central Station. As of this printing, the CP-220A has 63 programmable
parameters, which include setting the following items:
• how messages appear on the display
• the date and time that appear on the display
• the operation of the internal sounder
• the words displayed in response to various events
• whether the standby battery is periodically tested
Each parameter can be selected and changed by using the keypad on the
face of the receiver. In manufacturing the CP-220A, FBI has
pre-programmed all of the parameters with values, called defaults, which
represent common choices of receiver operation. Because of these defaults,
little additional programming is often required, and the operation should
proceed quickly and easily.
ll of the parameter values, whether they have been specificall
programmed or remain as specified by the defaults, do not require any
electrical power to be maintained in the CP-220A's memory. The obvious
benefit is that, were it ever necessary to move the receiver, all sources o
power could be completely disconnected and no re-programming would be
required.
Programming the CP-220A will begin in Section 2, which follows. At that
time, you may wish to start programming right away and you can do so
simply by plugging the CP-220A into a source of AC power. However, the
receiver will soon "complain" that the connections it expects to see from the
"outside world" are missing, and you'll be unable to begin programming until
you address this problem.

Under such conditions, the receiver will quickly call your attention to the
following faults:

• it finds no printer
• it has logged a battery failure (due to no standby battery)
Each fault will have to be acknowledged before any programming can be
performed. Alternatively, you can make all the required connections first,
and then you won't be disturbed by these messages. The table on the
following page summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each
approach, after which they'll be covered individually.

with two REC-11 Line Cards: one in Slot 1 and the other in Slot 8. It is
to these Telephone Line Terminals (1 and 8) where incoming telephone
service must be wired.
• a "parallel" printer and cable, as specified on page 1-14. Before
programming can begin, the printer must be powered on, have pape
loaded, and be "on-line"; if necessary, refer to the printer's instruction
manual for information relating to these conditions.
• a standby battery, connected as indicated in Figure 1-6 and as
described on page 1-12. Be very careful in handling and connecting the
battery and be sure to observe polarity when using the No. 135 cable.

Programming the CP-220A Receiver
Introduction
Section 2 will take you through the "ins" and "outs" of programming your
CP-220A Receiver and will explain each of the 63 parameters used in
configuring the product. As stated in Section 1, each of these parameters has
been factory pre-programmed with defaults that reflect the common usages
and applications of the Receiver. In many cases, only a few of these
parameters may have to be re-programmed to satisfy the needs of the
Central Station.
All programming is done from the keyboard on the CP-220A's front panel.
Because the CP-220A's electronic memory is "non-volatile" – that is, it
retains data without the need for external power – all sources of power ca
be removed from the Receiver without losing the current configuration.
The 63 parameters span a range from 00 through 62. It is possible to
program each one in turn, beginning with 00 and ending with 62, but the
approach taken in Section 2 will be to group all the related parameters into
these three categories whose numbers are not always consecutive:
Because not all Central Stations have a printer or an Automation System
connected to their CP-220A at this time, it may not be necessary to program
the parameters used for these devices until they're incorporated with the
Receiver.
If you choose to enter programming without making the external
connections discussed on page 1-17, perform the preliminary actions in the
steps detailed on the next page.
If you have already made these connections, proceed to
Programming: External Connections Have Been Made, on page 2-4.
• Insert the CP-220A's AC Line Cord into an unswitched electrical outle
supplying 120 Volts AC at 60 Hertz.
• During the next 25 seconds (approximately) while the CP-220A performs
some self-checks, its internal sounder will annunciate and several rela
activations may be heard. The MANUAL/PREVIOUS LED will illuminate,
and the NEXT LED will light soon after.

• At this point, check that your CP-220A's display appears like this:
SYSTEM RESET VER 3.91 01/01/00 00:00:25
• If the Receiver was previously in operation, its Date and Time and any
data or conditions that may have been reported earlier will be cleared.
However, as already stated, configuration data stored as programme
parameters will remain intact.
• VER. 3.91 refers to the latest version of the software being used by the
CP-220A as of this writing. The software routines responsible for its
operation have been electronically encoded into an integrated circuit (o
"chip") mounted within the Receiver. Because such software is continuall
being improved upon and updated, each time the system is powered on o
reset, the software's version (i.e., revision) number will always appear fo
reference purposes.
• The right side of the display indicates the Date, and the Time in a 24-hou
military format (HH:MM:SS). Whenever the CP-220A is reset through the
power-on process, the Date will revert to 01/01/00 and the Time to
00:00:00. The time shown in the figure above reflects the approximate
number of seconds that have elapsed since the Receiver has been powered
on before its Version Number appears.
"Error" Messages
When the NEXT LED is lit at this time, it indicates that the CP-220A has at
least one message to report. As stated in Section 1, this is an expected
response due to the Receiver's sensing the lack of several external
connections deemed necessary for its operation. Such messages are used to
report this condition, and it will not be possible to enter the Programmin
Mode unless each of these "error" messages has been acknowledged. Until
then, the Receiver will produce a short beep every 30 seconds, calling you
attention this condition.
In order to enter the Programming Mode, these "error" messages must be
displayed – which serves to acknowledge them. To do so, with the NEXT
LED lit, perform each of the following steps to clear all "error" messages. In
the process, some "normal" messages will appear. The beeps will continue to
sound periodically until all outstanding messages have been acknowledged.
The messages listed below are typical but may not be identical to that whic
will be displayed by your CP-220A at this time:

after which the NEXT LED re-illuminates.
NOTE: The above message assumes that the CP-220A is equipped with two
Line Cards. If there are additional Line Cards, this message will
not immediately address Line Card 8.
2. Press the NEXT key again. As before, the NEXT LED will go out, and
shortly, this message will appear:
LINE CARD 8 OPERATIVE 01/01/00 HH:MM:SS

4. Repeat this procedure, each time pressing the NEXT key when the
NEXT LED illuminates and waiting for a new message to display. The
NEXT LED, when lit, serves as an indicator that another message is
waiting to be acknowledged. On the following page are illustrations o

ER. 3.91 refers to the version of the software currently being used by the
CP-220A as of this writing. The software routines responsible for its
operation have been electronically encoded into an integrated circuit (o
"chip") mounted within the Receiver. Because such software is continually

The time shown in the figure above reflects the approximate number o
seconds that have elapsed since the Receiver has been powered on.
Each CP-220A Receiver has been given a different 4-digit Access Code that
must be used to gain entry to the Programming Mode. The Access Code
should be available only to those individuals who have the responsibility o
maintaining and updating the Receiver. Additional information about the
Access Code can be found on page 1-8.

5. To leave the Programming Mode at any time, press the Esc
key. Doing so will return the CP-220A to its normal operating

6. Messages reported while the CP-220A is in its Programmin
Mode will be processed and stored but will not interrupt the
programming operation unless 30 seconds go by without any programming activity from the CP-220A's keypad.
At that time, the CP-220A will automatically exit the programmin
mode and, if the unit was set for AUTOMATIC operation, pass the
message on to the printer (and automation system, if available); or, i
the unit was set for MANUAL operation, display it (and pass it on).
Therefore, if the receiver is "on line" and a parameter change must be
made, it's best to make the change quickly.
Once you begin to program the Receiver, each of these steps will
become very clear.
Category A: Receiver Operation
This material will cover the programming of the parameters found in
Category A, Receiver Operation. As stated on page 2-1, three distinct
categories have been selected into which each of the CP-220A's
programming parameters have been placed. Programming the
CP-220A's parameters according to category, rather than by numerical
sequence, is thought to be a more logical approach and is generall
easier.
A complete guide to programming all the parameters in Category A
(see column at left) will be covered here. In the discussion of each
