Remove This Page From the Manual for Security
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.
Record the Access Code in these 4 spaces and store it in a safe place:

Getting Acquainted
To the New
Operator
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 Central Station 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.

security systems and used to report alarms and other information – over the standard telephone network – to Central Station Receivers, such as the FBI CP-220A. Typically, when activated by the security system, its automatically call one of the phone lines assigned to the Central Station’s Receiver. Once the CP-220A senses the telephone company’s programmed number of rings, answers the active phone line, pauses for a pre­programmed time interval, and then causes the corresponding programmed communication from the subscriber’s premises. At the point that the CP-220A “picks up” the line, the “On-Line” LED (see page 1-9) lights, indicating which of the (up to

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.

rather involved (see Appendix B), a generic discussion of them is appropriate at this time. Essentially, all formats 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.

signal for the alarm system’s Digital Communicator to begin sending data. CP-220A Line Cards are capable of decoding data from a wide range of alarm systems because of their ability to recognize and adjust to a variety of communication protocols. Currently, all CP-220A’s are furnished with two REC-11 Line Cards; up to six additional REC-11s can be added.

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.
CP-220A Central Station Receiver Section 1: Getting Acquainted Page 1-7 Hook-Up and Installation Manual
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
Remember!
While working inside the CP-220A, all sources of power (both AC and Battery Backup) must be disconnected. Do NOT remove any Line Cards or Circuit Cards when power 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.

Prominent on the face of the CP-220A is a 40-characte fluorescent display, which, among its other attributes, furnishes information about alarms and other messages sen by the subscribers to the Central Station. The display also provides date and time information and assists in the programming of the receiver.
Front Panel Keyboard
An 18-key keyboard is located at the right side of the receiver. Its primary purpose is to perform the programmin operations that configure the CP-220A for the requirements of your Central Station.

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 list of ICC distributors.
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.

of the CP-220A
The CP-220A’s rear panel is equipped with a variety of connectors for attachment to devices in the “outside world.” Among them: a Printer, used to 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.
Page 1-12 Section 1: Getting Acquainted CP-220A Central Station Receiver 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

FIGURE 1-7
These terminals are typically wired to close a circuit between a remote power source and the annunciating device. Refer to Figure 1-7 for details.
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.

Page 1-16 Section 1: Getting Acquainted CP-220A Central Station Receiver 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 has no telephone service
• 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.

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:

• Category A: Receiver Operation
• Category B: Printer Operation
• Category C: Computer (Automation System) Operation
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.

• 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:

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 being improved upon and updated, each time the system is powered on, the software's version (i.e., revision) number will always appear for reference purposes.

the right; similarly, use the key to move it one character to the left. These keys are useful when it's easier to change just one character i a series, rather than entering all its digits.
4. To change the value of any parameter, press the NEXT key successively to move forward through the selections, or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS
key to move backward through them until desired value has bee reached.

5. To leave the Programming Mode at any time, press the Esc key. Doing so will return the CP-220A to its normal operating mode.
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 parameter, you will be provided with:
The programming of Category A parameters begins with the followin display, which appears upon entering the 4-digit Access Code.
• background information
• programming options
• an explanation of the default
• the next logical parameter in Category A
