Obtaining the Access Code Used

With Your CP-220A

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.

While the study of data formats and protocols can get

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.

A Close Look at

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

It provides 61¼" usable mounting space and accommodates man similar pieces of equipment.

Note 1: In order to maintain the UL listing on the FBII CP-220A Receiver,

you must connect the incoming phone lines through an LF-465 Module.

CP-220A Central Station Receiver Section 1: Getting Acquainted Page 1-5 Hook-Up and Installation Manual

Page 12

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.

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.

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.

Page 14

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.

The Front Panel of the

CP-220A

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.

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.

Page 16

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.

The Rear Panel

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.

Page 18

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

Page 19

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

Page 20

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

Page 21

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.

Preparing for

Programming

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.

Page 23

Programming

With No External

Connections

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.

If you choose to enter programming without wiring the receiver's external connections, proceed directly to Section 2: Programming the CP-

As equipped from the factory, current CP-220As come 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.

When all these connections have been made, you may proceed to

Section 2

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.

• 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:

1. Press the NEXT key. The NEXT LED will go out and a moment late

this message will appear:

LINE CARD 1 OPERATIVE 01/01/00 HH:MM:SS

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:

When in the Programming Mode, however, fault annunciation is suspended and will not re-occur until the Programming Mode has been exited. A that time, uncorrected faults will continue to be annunciated as described above.

Proceed to Entering and Using the Programming Mode on page 2-5.

If you have already made the battery, printer, and telephone line connections to your CP-220A, you are ready to enter the Programming Mode. First, perform the following preliminary actions:

1. Insert the CP-220A's AC Line Cord into an unswitched electrical outlet

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.

2. At this point, check that your CP-220A's display appears like this:

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, the data stored as programmed parameters will remai intact.

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.

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 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.

To enter and use the Programming Mode, read the steps below, which offe general information for all programming parameters. Don't perform an actions just yet; afterward, you will be able to apply it to Programmin Category A.

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.

Page 2-8 Section 2: Programming the CP-220A CP-220A Central Station Receiver Hook-Up and Installation Manual

Background:

A Receiver Number must be assigned to each CP-220A. The Receiver Numbe allows Central Stations to identify, track, and route incoming data in the event that more than one Receiver is being used. In Central Stations employing several Digital Receivers and a computerized Automatio System, the Receiver Number becomes essential to this process. In eithe case, the Receiver Number becomes part of the alarm (or trouble) report.

Programming Procedures:

36 different Receiver Numbers (or designations) are available for each CP-220A. Any number between 0 (zero) and 9 and any letter between A and Z may be entered as required.

Press the NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key until the desired choice is reached.

Default:

The factory has pre-programmed each CP-220A as Receiver 0 (zero). Unless there are other considerations like those already mentioned, this designation should be satisfactory at this time.

Advancing to Next Parameter:

After programming PARAMETER 03, press the N key to advance to PARAMETER 04 – the next parameter in Category A.

Sounder

Background:

The CP-220A's Internal Sounder is used to call the operator's attention to a incoming data transmission or to an error message or condition tha requires attention and will annunciate for several seconds. Central Stations using Automation Systems may prefer to keep the sounder off because the

and error messages are received. However, turning the sounder off unde these circumstances may prevent operator notification of every erro condition involving the CP-220A. If you choose to turn the sounder off, be sure that all error messages unique to the CP-220A will be annunciated b the Automation System.

Programming Procedures:

[SOUNDER ON] will be displayed after entering PARAMETER 04. The Sounder may be programmed to be ON or OFF, as desired, by pressing the

NEXT or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key until the desired choice is reached.

Default:

The factory has pre-programmed the sounder to be ON. If kept on, the sounder will operate regardless of whether the Receiver is in its AUTOMATIC or MANUAL mode (see page 2-103), and will be subject to the settings used in PARAMETER 37 (for the MANUAL Mode) and

PARAMETER 57 (for the AUTOMATIC Mode). If kept OFF in PARAMETER 04, it cannot be turned on by any settings made in either o

the other parameters.

PARAMETER 05:

Group Number

SLOT 1 IS IN GROUP 1 MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

As previously stated, the CP-220A has eight internal slots for use with either REC-1 or REC-11 FBI Line Cards. Each slot, in turn, has corresponding phone line terminals at the rear of the Receiver. As a result, your Central Station can connect up to eight separate phone lines – one pe slot and each with a different phone number – to receive incoming reports o alarms and troubles from Subscriber Accounts.

Alternatively, another type of phone system, known as a Rotary or system, may be used. In this type of arrangement, several or many lines are accessed via the same telephone number, much like calls to a company's switchboard. This kind of phone system automatically routes an incomin call to the first available open (not busy) line. Programming PARAMETER 05 depends on the type of phone system in use.

Generally, when separate phone numbers are wired to a Central Statio Receiver, each Line Card slot corresponding to the connection is assigned a unique Group Number. This Group Number, like the Receiver Number (see

ccount Numbers may be used more than once for a given Receiver. Refer to

Figure 2-1.

ollove

Page 34

When the Rotary or Rollover type of phone system is used, every Subscribe

ccount calls the same phone number and awaits routing to the next "open" line before generating its alarm or trouble transmission. Since it is unpredictable as to which of the phone lines will be available at any given time, there is no way of knowing which of the CP-220A's Line Cards will be processing the data. In situations like this, each Receiver slot must be assigned the same Group Number to avoid confusion.

For this reason, the maximum number of accounts that can be processed b Receivers connected to a Rotary or Rollover phone system cannot exceed the maximum number of accounts available to any single Line Card (up to 65,000 with hexadecimal in use). Although this is a limitation in the use o Rollover systems, a greater number of individual Line Cards found in a Receiver enables better call throughput.

Programming Procedures:

For Receivers using separate phone lines, the numbering of the CP-220A's slots should be left as pre-programmed by the factory. In other words, 1 through 8 will correspond to Groups 1 through 8 by default.

For use with Rotary or Rollover systems, program each slot with the number.

As stated, [SLOT 1 IS IN GROUP 1] will be displayed after enterin PARAMETER 05. The number [1] after [SLOT] will be flashing.

If it is necessary to change Slot 1's Group Number from Group 1 to something else, take the following steps:

1. Depress the

 key once. The [1] after [GROUP] will begin to flash; the

Group Number of Slot 1 may be altered at this time.

2. Press the NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key until the desired

choice is reached. After doing so, Slot 1 will be assigned to the chosen Group.

3. Press the

 key so that the [1] after [GROUP] flashes again.

4. To assign another Slot to a new Group, press the number key of the slo

desired (e.g., 2 ); the chosen Slot Number and its currently assigned Group Number will be displayed.

5. Repeat the above steps for each Slot Number to which you desire to

assign a new Group. Slots 1 through 8 can be programmed to an Group 1 through 8, as desired.

Default:

Slots 1 through 8 have been assigned to Groups 1 through 8, respectively, through the factory defaults. Change this only if a Rotary or telephone system is in use for the CP-220A.

Ring Signal

SLOT 1 NEEDS 1 RINGS MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

The Line Cards in each of the eight slots may be programmed to "pick up" o an incoming call immediately (i.e., after 1 ring) or after an extended time (i.e., up to 8 rings).

On occasion, random "noise" on a phone line may affect the correspondin Line Card, which may interpret the noise as a Ring – causing it to pick up the line in error. In consideration of this possibility, it may be desirable to program additional Ring Signals so that sporadic noise will not cause an immediate pickup. Before doing so, bear in mind that the use of additional Ring Signals will slightly delay the processing of legitimate alarm reports.

Programming Procedures:

As stated, each Slot Number may be programmed to pick up the corresponding line after waiting between 1 and 8 rings.

PARAMETER

07:

Handshake

SLOT 1 HI/LO IS 0 MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

Whenever the Digital Communicator at a subscriber's premises is activated and calls the Central Station, it waits for confirmation that the Digital Receiver is ready to accept the report. This confirmation, known as handshake signal, is a tone sent from the Receiver back to the Communicator, indicating that the Receiver is "on-line" and ready to process data from the account (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-2).

Because there are many kinds of Digital Communicators and communicatio standards in use today, there are also several different types of handshake signals that Digital Receivers like the CP-220A must be capable o generating. Often, the type of handshake tone sent back to the communicator reflects the kind of transmission format the Digital Receive is able to process, and serves to prompt the communicator to transmit its data in that format.

Page 37

There are three kinds of handshake signals that can be produced by the CP-220A:

• The 2300 Hz (Hertz, or cycles per second) handshake signal is a "high-

frequency" tone that is generally interpreted by Digital Communicators as an "invitation" to communicate in a High Speed format.

• Similarly, the 1400 Hz handshake signal is a "low-frequency" tone that is

generally sent by the Receiver if there is no response to its initial 2300 Hz handshake signal. The 1400 Hz tone invites the Digital Dialer to communicate in a Low Speed format.

• The Hi/Lo handshake signal is really two distinct tones that use both the

2300 Hz and 1400 Hz frequencies, and is used with the

Speed (Superfast), ADEMCO Express, and ADEMCO Point I.D. (i.e., Contact I.D.) communication formats. In the event that there are ADEMCO dialers reporting in these formats, it will be necessary for the

CP-220A to transmit at least one Hi/Lo handshake signal. NOTE: See Appendix B for additional information.

Digital Communicators, after receiving a handshake signal from the Central Station, will respond only if the handshake corresponds to the data forma the Dialer has been programmed to send. If the handshake is not responded to, the CP-220A will produce an alternate handshake that the Dialer should find compatible.

Programming Options:

The programming for PARAMETER 07 specifies whether or not each of the CP-220A's Line Cards will send the Hi/Lo handshake signal, and if so, how many times (up to 2).

[SLOT 1 HI/LO IS 1] will be displayed after entering PARAMETER 07. The number [1] after [SLOT] will be flashing. Each of the 8 slots can be programmed to deliver between zero and two Hi/Lo handshakes if that's desired or necessary. Note that only one Hi/Lo handshake is required fo Communicators transmitting in the ADEMCO Superfast or Point I.D. format, although two such handshakes can be programmed to increase the chances for a successful connection when noisy phone lines are encountered.

Page 2-14 Section 2: Programming the CP-220A CP-220A Central Station Receiver Hook-Up and Installation Manual

DEMCO High

Page 38

IMPORTANT!

Briefly stated, the programming for PARAMETER 07 determines how many Hi/Lo handshakes will be produced by each of the CP-220A’s slots. Any selections made in PARAMETER 07 also have a bearing on the order in which the remaining handshakes are sent, which is illustrated in the table at right.

When greater flexibility is required – in terms of the sequence in which a Line Card produces its handshakes – you must also program PARAMETER 62 (on page 2-59), whose settings, when used in conjunction with the number of Hi/Lo handshakes specified in PARAMETER 07, will allow for complete customization.

Note that PARAMETER 62 is available only with Versions 3.91 (and above) of the CP-220A’s software (see page 2-5), and will apply only to REC-11 Line Cards whose NLC (New Line Card) software is Version 3.0 (or above).

Examples of coordinating programming options between PARAMETER 07 and 62 can be found on page 2-60.

The following table lists the sequence of handshake signals generated fo each of the three choices (0, 1, and 2) available for this parameter:

NUMBER OF HI/LO SEQUENCE OF HANDSHAKE

HANDSHAKE SIGNALS SIGNALS GENERATED

PROGRAMMED

0 2300 Hz 1400 Hz

1 Hi/Lo 1400 Hz 2300 Hz

2 Hi/Lo Hi/Lo 1400 Hz 230 Hz

If you're not sure if the Communicators reporting to any Line Card require the Hi/Lo handshake to produce data in the Superfast or Point I.D. format, accept the default (1) for PARAMETER 07 (see page 2-16). This will cause single transmission of the Hi/Lo handshake, which, if ignored, produces first the Low Frequency handshake (1400 Hz); then, if no response is received, it produces the High Frequency (2300 Hz) handshake, to ultimately effect communication with the subscriber.

However, if it's known that the all the accounts reporting to a single Line Card do not require the Hi/Lo handshake, it's best, in the interests o transmission time, to program the parameter with "0" (zero) so that no Hi/Lo handshakes are generated by the Line Card.

Programming Procedures:

Handshake Delay

SLOT 1 DELAY IS 1 SEC MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

After waiting the pre-programmed number of Ring Signals (see PARAMETER 06 on page 2-12) before picking up on an incoming call, the

Line Cards in the CP-220A can be programmed to wait an additional number of seconds, called the Handshake Delay, before transmitting the handshake signal(s) as programmed into PARAMETER 07. Such a dela may be desirable or even necessary if the nature of the telephone line connection requires a "settling" period before becoming stable enough to process the data transmitted by a Digital Communicator. As such, a onesecond delay has been set up as the default for each of the 8 slots in the CP-220A.

Programming Procedures:

[SLOT 1 DELAY IS 1 SEC] will be displayed after entering PARAMETER

08. The number [1] after [SLOT] will be flashing. Each of the 8 slots can be programmed to delay the onset of the handshake signal between 0 and 9 seconds after answering an incoming call.

Set Time

Background:

Setting the date and time permits the CP-220A to keep an accurate accounting of the events it processes and, when logging these events to a printer, to "stamp" them accurately with this information. Keeping an accurate log of the messages communicated to the CP-220A may help i troubleshooting, administrative, and even legal matters.

The time is set in a 24-hour (i.e., military) format in which "AM" and "PM" are not used. This format adds "12" to the afternoon and evening hours between 1:00 PM and 11:00 PM, which will be expressed as 13:00 through 23:00. The following table provides some comparisons:

After entering PARAMETER 26, [SET TIME] will be displayed and the firs digit of the month field will be flashing. If it is necessary to set or change the either the date, or the time, or both, use the following procedure. Note that, if applicable, leading zeroes are required in both the date and time fields.

1. Enter the appropriate 1st digit of the month or use the

the 2nd digit; in either case, the 2nd digit will begin flashing.

2. Repeat this process for the five remaining digits in the date, as required.

3. Continue in the same manner with the time by setting the hours,

minutes, and seconds using keyboard entries or by pressing the if an error is made, use either the  or the  key to move the flashin cursor to the correct position.

4. Exit PARAMETER 26, either through the

Illegal entries (e.g., [Date] 15/34/95 or [Time] 24:65:00) will be rejected b the CP-220A and will revert to the defaults (see below) when exitin PARAMETER 26.

Once the date/time is set, the extra day in February during leap years is automatically accounted for, but automatic switching between standard time and daylight savings time is not. These changes will have to be made manually using the above procedures.

Digital Receivers like the CP-220A use alphanumeric characters to displa the details of subscriber messages (i.e., account numbers, alarms, troubles, restorals, openings, closings, etc.). The popular

+2 Reporting Forma

(discussed in Section 1 and Appendix B) uses a 4-digit Account Number, followed by a 2-digit Reporting Code. The first digit of the Reporting Code usually represents the nature of the message and the second digit furthe defines it. The examples given beneath Table 1-1 on page 1-4 illustrate this for messages in the 4 + 2 Format and are repeated for convenience in Table 2-1 below.

It is possible to have the numbers in all Reporting Formats received by the CP-220A provide descriptive words on its display. This feature allows the Central Station's operators to quickly determine the nature of the repor when looking at the display or the resulting printout.

NOTE: The characters "B" through "F" are used to increase the number of variations capable of

being reported by most communication formats, when compared to those using only the digits between "0" and "9." Using such "alpha" characters in designating numbers is characteristic of a numbering system known as hexadecimal, which is often used in computers, and is discussed in Appendix A. Note, too, that for technical reasons, hexadecimal "A" is not used in many alarm communication formats. See Appendix B for additional information.

Replacing the standard message (like the one at the top left) with one usin descriptive words to characterize specific events is clearly in the bes interests of the Central Station's operators (and is illustrated in several examples beginning on page 2-23). In this parameter, each of the default words in the table above can be re-programmed to better describe the event (at the bottom left) and be used instead of the basic numeric Reportin Codes (0 through 9) employed in the slots in a particular CP-220A.

On the display (see page 2-19), movement between the Slot Number, the Code Number, and the respective words may be accomplished with the



1. With the "1" in [SLOT 1 CODE 0 ZERO] flashing, press advance to the [0] after [CODE].

2. Press 3 . The display should show:

[SLOT 1 CODE 3 THREE]

3. Press the  once to advance the cursor to the first letter of [THREE].

To change the word to [BURGLARY] (note the maximum of 8 characters), press the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key repeatedly until the [B] appears as the first character.

4. Press the

 to move the cursor to the next letter. Press the

MANUAL/PREVIOUS key until the [U] appears as the second character.

5. Repeat the previous two steps using either the NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key until [BURGLARY] is spelled out.

6. Press the  until the Slot Number flashes. Repeat each of these

steps as required to create additional descriptive words.

After programming PARAMETER 28, press the N key to advance to PARAMETER 29 – the next parameter in Category A.

NOTE: Depending on where the flashing cursor is positioned, it may be

necessary to press the N key twice to advance to the next parameter.

The CP-220A displays the parameter just programmed ([PARAMETER NUMBER 28]) with its first digit flashing, indicating its request for the nex parameter number.

You can reach PARAMETER 29 in one of several ways. Press either:

immediately – not its number.

Background:

Setting up descriptive words to be linked to the CP-220A's Reporting Codes permits customizing the manner in which events are reported. This was accomplished in PARAMETER 28. PARAMETER 29 allows the descriptive words previously programmed into any slot to be copied to any other slot, assuming that the descriptive language for Codes 0-9 are to be identical i the slot(s) selected. Doing so provides a great convenience for the individual who programs the CP-220A, in that the choices of descriptive wording ma have to be identical for several or more Line Cards in the receiver.

Programming Procedures:

[COPY SLOT 1 TO SLOT 1] will be displayed after entering PARAMETER 29, and the [1] after the first occurrence of [SLOT] will be flashing. At this time, the descriptive wording used for any slot (Line Card) can be copied to any other slot (Line Card), as required. The parameter is designed to cop only one slot at a time, but by repeating the process, copying among several slots can be easily performed.

Copying from One Slot to Another:

1. With the first [1] flashing, use the keypad to enter the number of the "source" slot (whose descriptive wording is to be copied elsewhere). I Slot 1 has been selected as the "source," simply depress the  key to move past the [TO SLOT] field; the second [1] will flash.

2. Depress the  key to move past the [TO SLOT] field; the seconde [1] will flash.

3. Depress the number of the “destination” slot to which the slot selected in step 1 must be copied; the display will now read [COPY SLOT 1 TO SLOT X] (where “X” is the “destination” slot)

Background:

In PARAMETER 28, descriptive words could be produced and used in the

reporting of events for any Report Code (between 0 and 9) received by any o the CP-220A's active Line Cards (slots). In PARAMETER 29, copying such wording to any other Line Card was possible if you wanted to use the same descriptive language for Codes 0-9.

In PARAMETER 30, the descriptive wording used in any or all of the

CP-220A's 8 Line Cards can be turned "OFF" (or back "ON") if desired. Doing so permits either temporary or permanent suspension of the customized words on a Line Card-by-Line Card basis.

Programming Procedures:

Through PARAMETER 30, each available Line Card can be selected, and its use of the "Slot English" with which it has been previously programmed (o copied) can be enabled or disabled.

[SLOT 1 ENGLISH ON] will be displayed and the [1] will be flashing afte entering PARAMETER 30. At this time, the descriptive wording used fo any slot can be "turned on" or "turned off," as required.

1. With the [1] flashing, use the appropriate numeric key (1-8) on the CP-220A's keypad to select the slot (Line Card) whose English language programming is to be enabled or disabled.

NOTE: Because the [1] is flashing already, it is not necessary to press 1 to

select Line Card 1.

2. If any changes are necessary, use the

 key to move to the [ENGLISH

ON] field. Either [ON] (or [OFF]) will be flashing.

3. Toggling between [ON] and [OFF] can be done with either the NEXT o the MANUAL/PREVIOUS keys.

4. Use either the  or  keys to return to the [SLOT "X"] field. B repeating the above sequence, any previously performed Englis language programming can be selectively enabled or disabled for each active CP-220A slot.

Default:

The CP-220A has been factory programmed so that all Line Cards have thei English language descriptors "turned on." Thus, as long as these descriptors have either been programmed or copied in the previous two parameters, they will automatically be enabled via PARAMETER 30.

Advancing to Next Parameter:

The next parameter in Category A is PARAMETER 27 and, because it is not sequential, it cannot be reached with a single press of the to PARAMETER 27, press the N key.

The CP-220A displays the parameter just programmed ([PARAMETER NUMBER 30]) with its first digit flashing, indicating its request for the desired parameter number. Press either:

PARAMETER 27:

Channel English

CHANNEL 1 CHAN ONE MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

PARAMETER 27 has been incorporated into the CP-220A so that English language displays and printouts will be possible when subscriber messages are received in the ADEMCO High Speed Format (also known as Superfast). The ADEMCO High Speed Format is unique in that it provides simultaneous information about each of the zones in the protected premises – and transmits them every time an alarm is sent to the Central Station.

NOTE 1: It is not necessary to enter PARAMETER 27 if there are no plans

to process messages in this format.

NOTE 2: The concepts in the ADEMCO High Speed Format differ from

other communication formats discussed so far. provides additional information on this and any othe communication format capable of being processed by the CP-220A.

Once PARAMETER 27 is selected, the CP-220A will display [CHANNEL 1

CHAN ONE]. The ADEMCO High Speed (Superfast) Format ca simultaneously process up to 8 channels of information, for which the following English language descriptors have been assigned as defaults:

CODE ENGLISH WORD CODE ENGLISH WORD

1 ONE 5 FIVE

TWO

6 SIX

DEMCO

ppendix B

3 THREE 7 SEVEN

4 FOUR 8 EIGHT

Channels 1 through 8 refer to either separate zones or groups of zones bein reported in the ADEMCO High Speed Format by a control panel or a separate digital communicator transmitting information to the CP-220A. Unless changed through programming (see below), the English words in the table will be displayed on the CP-220A and its associated printer whenever a Code 1 (representing an alarm) is transmitted on any of the 8 channels.

If desired, the English language descriptors may be reprogrammed for any or all of the 8 reporting channels of a subscriber's account, whenever it sends a "Code 1" (alarm) message in this format. As many as 12 characters can be programmed for each of these channels; doing so will require movemen between the Channel Number and the English Word fields on the display. As in PARAMETER 28, characters may be scrolled through the array with the

NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key, as described in the followin

Programming Procedures:

1. Note that after entering PARAMETER 27, [CHANNEL 1 CHAN ONE] appears on the display and [CHANNEL 1] is flashing. To program descriptive words for Channel 1, proceed to the next step. To selec another channel, press the key (between 2 and 8) representing the desired channel.

2. Press the

 once to advance the flashing cursor to the [C], which is part

of the [CHAN] designation. To change the word, press the NEXT key one push at a time. Doing so takes the first character incrementall through the following sequence of characters, which repeats itself:

• letters of the alphabet

• blank space

• numbers 0 through 9

NOTE 1: The MANUAL/PREVIOUS key may be pushed momentarily to

move backward through the set of characters if it's easier to reach the desired selection that way.

NOTE 2: If the NEXT or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS keys are held down

rather than released after being depressed, it's possible to scroll forward or backward through the selections in increments of approximately 5 characters at a time.

3. When the appropriate character is displayed, press the

 to move the

cursor to the next letter. Once again, use the NEXT key or the

MANUAL/PREVIOUS key, as described, to select the desired character.

4. Repeat this process until the custom word is complete. A total of 12 characters (letters, numbers, and/or spaces) may be programmed fo words used to represent each of the eight channels in this format.

5. Press the

 as required until the Channel Number flashes. To selec

another Channel Number, press the appropriate key (between 1 and 8).

6 Repeat Steps 2 through 5 to program additional descriptive words.

NOTE 1: Unlike PARAMETER 28, in which descriptive wording had to

be programmed on a Line Card-by-Line Card (i.e., Slot-bySlot) basis, entries made in PARAMETER 30 are global and will be valid for any Line Card that receives a message in the ADEMCO High Speed (Superfast) format.

NOTE 2: Even if programmed, the use of Channel English ca

subsequently be "turned off" through the use of PARAMETER 30, which was discussed on page 2-28.

NOTE 3: Refer to Appendix B for important additional information on

how the CP-220A processes subscriber transmissions in this format.

CHANNEL DAVE 1235 MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

For purposes of Central Station security, the CP-220A has been designed to provide an accurate accounting of the individuals who use it – with the capability of tracking up to 19 operators at the Central Station. If this function is desired, a 4-digit numeric I.D. code and (up to) 4 characters identifying each such operator must be specified for each such operator i this parameter.

t the beginning of his/her shift, an operator must "log on" by enterin his/her 4-digit I.D. code at the receiver's keyboard, which causes both the receiver to display (for example) [JANE LOG ON] and an attached printer to print:

01/13/95 08:00:15 JANE LOG ON

When the operator's shift ends, he/she is required to enter the same 4-digit code, which will similarly cause the receiver to display (for example) [JANE LOG OFF] and an attached printer to print:

01/13/95 17:00:45 JANE LOG OFF

At this time, the next operator can log on with his/her respective code.

Programming Procedures:

When PARAMETER 31 is initially selected, the CP-220A will displa information about the first operator, "Operator 01." The following procedure should be used to program (or modify what has already been programmed)

1. By default, [OPERATOR DAVE 1235] is "Operator 1." To change it,

press the

 key until the [D] begins to flash.

2. To change this to the desired letter, press the NEXT key – one push at a

time. Doing so takes the first character incrementally through the following sequence of characters, which repeats itself:

• letters of the alphabet

• blank space

• numbers 0 through 9

NOTE 1: The MANUAL/PREVIOUS key may be pushed momentarily to

move backward through the set of characters if it's easier to reac the desired selection that way.

NOTE 2: If the NEXT or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS keys are held down

rather than released after being depressed, it's possible to scroll forward or backward through the selections in increments o approximately 5 characters at a time.

3. When the appropriate character is displayed, press the

Listen-In Time

LISTEN TIME 90 SEC MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

Individual subscriber accounts may take advantage of the CP-220A's Listen-In feature, in which any audible activities and conversations surrounding an alarm event can be heard, evaluated, and recorded. The Listen-In concept is particularly well suited to burglary, panic, and medical emergencies, but can be used in conjunction with virtually all types o alarms.

For a subscriber's account to be considered as a Listen-In account, there are three factors that must be satisfied:

• The installation must have a suitable Listen-In module correctl

interfaced with the system's control panel or its stand-alone communicator, along with at least one properly connected microphone.

NOTE: Several security equipment manufacturers currently produce

Listen-In modules that are compatible with a wide range of control panels and receivers like the CP-220A.

• The system's control panel must be programmed with an

account number beginning with a hexadecimal letter, rather than a number; thus, hexadecimal characters "B" through "F" are applicable (and can be selected in PARAMETER 33); as an example, B123 or F789 are account numbers that qualify as subscribers whose alarms will be "listened to."

NOTE: For additional information on hexadecimal numbering, refer to

Appendix A.

• The account must be programmed with the phone numbe

corresponding to the Line Card in Slot 8 of the CP-220A.

Two-Way Listen-In:

Listen-In works like this: Once an account has transmitted its message (o messages) to the CP-220A, the CP-220A produces the appropriate kissof signal informing the account that its message has been received (see Section 1: Getting Acquainted). Because it's a Listen-In account, both the account and the CP-220A keep the line open for the period of time that is specified i this parameter. While Line Card 8 is actively in the Listen-In mode, all on-premises noises can be heard via the CP-220A's front panel speaker. The volume control adjacent to the speaker can be used at this time to raise o lower the Listen-In audio level. For purposes of privacy or to avoid ambient noises, a headset can be plugged into the front panel's headset jack.

Line Card 8 will not accept any incoming calls while in the Listen-In mode. The Listen-In call can be terminated at any point within this time period b depressing the N key momentarily.

Programming Procedures:

A range from 00 seconds to 90 seconds, in 10-second increments, can be set through the use of this parameter. After entering

ARAMETER 32,

[LISTEN TIME 90 SEC] will be displayed and the [9] will be flashing. I necessary, use the appropriate numeric key to change the first digit. The second digit is fixed at [0] and cannot be changed.

Default:

The CP-220A has been factory programmed with a Listen-In time of 90 seconds.

Advancing to Next Parameter:

After programming PARAMETER 32, press the N key to advance to PARAMETER 33 – the next parameter in Category A.

The CP-220A displays the parameter just programmed ([PARAMETER NUMBER 32]) with its first digit flashing, indicating its request for the nex parameter number. You can reach PARAMETER 33 in one of several ways. Press either:

PARAMETER 33:

Listen-In

Accounts

LISTEN ACCOUNT BCDEF M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

As previously stated in PARAMETER 32, Line Card 8 will allow Listen-In activities, providing that the reporting Account Number begins with the hexadecimal B, C, D, E, or F. This parameter determines which of these letters will identify Listen-In accounts.

NOTE: For a description of the Listen-In operation, see PARAMETER 32.

Programming Procedures:

Each of the five hexadecimal characters (B, C, D, E, and F) can be selected o de-selected to identify a Listen-In account. After entering PARAMETER 33, [LISTEN ACCOUNT BCDEF] will be displayed and the [B] will be flashing

1. If [B] is not desired as a letter identifying a Listen-In account, depress

the NEXT key, which will blank out letter [B] and replace it with a flashing "underscore" [_] character.

2. Repeat Step 1 for each of the remaining letters by using the

 keys, as required. Letters chosen to identify Listen-In accounts

should remain visible in the display. As above, press the NEXT key to eliminate letters from the display that are not used for this purpose.

NOTE: The NEXT key can be used to toggle each letter between its "visible"

and "invisible" state.

Default:

The CP-220A has been factory programmed to allow all account numbers beginning with B, C, D, E, or F to be recognized as Listen-In accounts.

Advancing to Next Parameter:

The next parameter in Category A is PARAMETER 36. Because it is no sequential, it cannot be reached with a single press of the  key. To advance to PARAMETER 36, press the N key.

Battery Test

BATTERY TEST ON M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

The CP-220A is designed to support the use of a rechargeable standb battery in the absence of AC power or if the AC fuse is blown. In such cases, the battery can operate the CP-220A for up to 24 hours, depending on the amount of activity logged by the Central Station.

The battery, a 12 Volt, 55 Amp-Hour (AH) rechargeable gel cell, is connecte to the CP-220A via an FBI-furnished No. 135 cable. As long as the CP-220 operates from AC power, the standby battery will recharge in anticipation o a possible AC outage. Refer to Figure 1-6 in Section 1 for additional details.

s such, it's wise to periodically test the battery, which can be performed automatically via this parameter. The CP-220A will place the battery unde a momentary 2-ampere load every 15 minutes, as long as AC power is present. If the battery voltage falls to approximately 10.2VDC (Volts, DC) during any test, a [BATTERY TEST FAIL] message will be displayed by the receiver and passed on to an attached printer and possibly an automatio system, if used. The [BATTERY TEST FAIL] message will be repeated ever 15 minutes thereafter until the problem is corrected. If the battery returns to normal during a subsequent test, the CP-220A will display [BATTER RESTORE].

Programming Procedures:

Use the NEXT key to toggle between enabling and disabling the Battery Test feature.

Default:

The Battery Test is enabled.

Manual Turnoff

of Sounder

MANUAL SOUNDER OFF M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

PARAMETER 37 is an adjunct to PARAMETER 04 (see page 2-9), whic was used to globally enable or disable the CP-220A's Internal Sounder. This sounder calls the operator's attention to an incoming data transmission or to an error message. If it's enabled (in PARAMETER 04), and the CP-220A is being operated in the MANUAL Mode (see page 2-103), the sounder will function according to how PARAMETER 37 is programmed.

In the MANUAL mode, each message received by the unit is stored in a buffer and then routed to the display each time the NEXT key is pressed. It is therefore possible for several messages to be held "in memory" until they're actually displayed.

If this parameter is set for [MANUAL SOUNDER OFF] (the default), eac new message will cause a 2-second beep to occur, alerting the operator who may otherwise be occupied. If set to [MANUAL SOUNDER ON], the beep will sound continuously, under the same circumstances, until the NEXT key is pressed. If other messages are "in waiting," the beep will once again sound continuously while the process is repeated, until all alarms have been displayed.

NOTE 1: Regardless of how the parameter is set, all incoming messages will

be sent to an attached printer as they occur, even if they remai in the display buffer.

NOTE 3: Refer to page 2-52 for additional information on sounder operation.

Programming Procedures:

Use the NEXT key to toggle between enabling and disabling the sounder. Bear in mind that setting of PARAMETER 37 has no effect when the CP-220A is placed in its AUTOMATIC mode.

Default:

The Sounder is "OFF," which means it will sound for 2 seconds and the stop.

Advancing to Next Parameter:

The next parameter in Category A is PARAMETER 40. Because it is no sequential, it cannot be reached with a single press of the  key. To advance to PARAMETER 40, press the N key.

The CP-220A displays the parameter just programmed ([PARAMETER NUMBER 37]) with its first digit flashing, indicating its request for the desired parameter number. Press either:

• 4 then 0 , or

• the  key three times

NOTE: When the  is used, the name of the next parameter appears

Automatic

Mode Enable

AUTO MODE M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

In Section 1 (on page 2-103) the differences between operating the CP-220 in its MANUAL and AUTOMATIC modes are explained. Briefly, in the MANUAL mode, messages received by the unit are stored in a buffer and then routed to the display each time the NEXT key is pressed.

In the MANUAL mode, only the CP-220A buffers messages as just described. If a printer and/or an Automation System are used in conjunction with the CP-220A, each message, as it is processed by the CP-220A – in addition to being stored by the receiver – will be routed directly to either the printe and/or Automation System, without requiring that a previous message be cleared from the CP-220A's display.

In the AUTOMATIC mode, messages do not appear on the receiver's display, but are routed to the attached printer and automation system (if used) fo direct processing.

PARAMETER 40, in its default mode [AUTO MODE ENABLE ON], allows the CP-220A to stay in its AUTOMATIC mode only when a peripheral (printer and/or automation system) is connected and is operational. If the CP-220A finds that there are no peripherals available (e.g., due to a peripheral malfunction), it will return to its MANUAL mode. Only when the problem is corrected can the CP-220A be placed in AUTOMATIC mode o

operation (by pressing the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key).

If the CP-220A is not connected to a computer and/or printer, program this parameter to select [AUTO MODE ENABLE OFF], which prevents the use o the AUTOMATIC mode (permitting only MANUAL mode operation), so tha messages received by the CP-220A will be stored in the receiver's buffe until cleared by pressing the NEXT key.

NOTE: For additional related information, refer to PARAMETER 38,

Printer Fail/Manual Mode, on page 2-67; and Computer Fail/Manual Mode, on page 2-94

Programming Procedures:

Use the NEXT key to toggle between enabling and disabling the

AUTOMATIC mode.

Default:

The AUTOMATIC mode is enabled ([AUTO MODE ENABLE ON]).

PARAMETER 42:

Line Fault

Detector

SLOT 1 LINE DETECT ON M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

Built into the CP-220A is the ability to detect faults that may have a bearin on its operation. In Section 1, and earlier in this section, faults in the following areas were discussed:

• Line Cards

• the Standby Battery

• the Printer

• Telephone Service

It is PARAMETER 42 that allows the CP-220A to detect phone line faults. I telephone service is interrupted for more than 5 seconds, a [LINE FAULT #] message will be displayed on the CP-220A and on any peripheral(s) (i.e., printer and/or automation system) connected to it.

Even when cleared by pressing NEXT , the [LINE FAULT #] message (accompanied by an alert beep) will continue to be displayed every 15 minutes until it is corrected. Once corrected, a [LINE FAULT RESTORE] message will be displayed.

Each slot containing a Line Card to which a telephone line is connected should have this parameter set to ON. Each slot containing a Line Card

without a telephone line connected to it must have this parameter set to OFF, otherwise the [LINE FAULT #] will occur.

Programming Procedures:

s stated, [SLOT 1 LINE DETECT ON] will be displayed after enterin PARAMETER 42. The number [1] after [SLOT] will be flashing.

If it is necessary to change Slot 1's Line Fault Detection, take the followin steps:

3x1 With Parity

SLOT 1 FORMAT 3X1 W/P M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

The CP-220A is capable of receiving and processing many popular alarm Reporting Formats originated at a subscriber’s premises (see One of these formats, known as 3x1 (three by one), contains 5 characters:

• a three-digit Account Number

• a one-digit Alarm Code

• a one-digit Parity Check sent along with the message

NOTE: Typically, this single parity digit contains a number that is derived

through a calculation based on the 4 characters that precede it. The parity digit accompanies the message (but is not displayed o printed). When such a 3x1 message is received, the CP-220 performs the same calculation on the first 4 digits and compares the result with what was sent as the message's 5th (parity) digit. I they are identical, it's quite likely that the message was receive accurately.

Using this parity technique allows the receiver to process messages faster because, unlike the standard 3x1 report, it is not necessary to send the entire message twice and compare them - a commo message-checking technique.

Another Reporting Format, known as 4x1 (four by one) without parity, also contains five characters:

• a four-digit Account Number

• a one-digit Alarm Code

This 4x1 format uses no parity checking. As a result, the CP-220A canno distinguish between messages received in the 3x1 (with parity) and the 4x1 (without parity) formats because both produce the same number of digits. Therefore, PARAMETER 44 is used to inform the CP-220A which of these two formats it's meant to receive. Note that this selection can be made on a slot-by-slot basis. See Appendix B for additional information.

Programming Procedures:

[SLOT 1 FORMAT 3x1 W/P] will be displayed after entering PARAMETER

44. The number [1] after [SLOT] will be flashing. If it is necessary to change between these formats as currently specified fo

Slot 1, take the following steps:

1. Depress the

 key once. The [3x1 W/P] after [FORMAT] will begin to

flash.

2. Press the NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key to display [4x1

WO/P] (4x1 without parity), which is the alternate selection. Make the desired choice for Slot 1.

3. Press the

 key so that the [1] after [SLOT] flashes again.

4. To choose between the 3x1 with parity and the 4x1 without parity

formats, press the number key of the slot desired (e.g., 2 ); the chosen Slot Number and its currently assigned PARAMETER 44 forma selection will be displayed.

5. Repeat the above steps for each Slot Number whose format capabilit

must be changed, in the manner described

Default:

When it receives a 5-character message, each slot will initially assume its contents will be in the 3x1 with parity format (the default).

PARAMETER 47:

FBI English

FBI ENGLISH 0 ZERO M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

Fire Burglary Instruments has developed a Central Station reporting forma that is transmitted exclusively by FBI control products and is known as FB Superfast (sometimes called 4x1x2x1 [4 by 1 by 2 by 1] because of the way its characters are sent).

FBI Superfast enables the reporting of up to 256 unique zone codes (and/o user codes for openings and closings) instead of the 15 possible zone (and user) codes provided by most other formats. In addition, FBI Superfast uses TouchTones®, rather than rotary pulses, to convey the signal – resulting i a rapid transmission rate. Overall, the FBI Superfast format offers communications protocol that can report a large quantity of zone numbers (and user codes) quickly, accompanied with a high degree of reliability.

The data on the following line represents how an actual

transmission is displayed by the CP-220A:

1234 B1 036

in which:

1234 refers to the subscriber's Account Number B1 refers to the Event Code and Zone Type 036 refers to the actual Zone Number

NOTE: The FBI Superfast format may be used on the CP-220A with

Version 3.3 (or later) REC-5 Memory Card ONLY when configured as an FBI receiver (see PARAMETER 02) with REC-1 Line Cards and/or REC-11 Line Cards having a Version of 2.46 or later.

The purpose of PARAMETER 47 (like PARAMETER 28) is to provide

8-character customized English Language descriptions to accompany the display (and printout) of messages received by the CP-220A. While PARAMETER 28 applies to standard reporting formats, PARAMETER 47 is for FBI Superfast messages only. This allows the Central Station's operators to quickly determine the nature of the report when looking at the display o

Replacing the standard FBI Superfast message (like the one at the uppe left) with one using descriptive words (like the one beneath it) to characterize specific events is clearly in the best interests of the Central Station's operators. With this parameter, each of the default words used in the above table can be re-programmed to better describe the event, i necessary, and be used to supplement the basic numeric reporting of the FB Superfast format.

To do so, movement between the Slot Number, the Code Number, and the

SLOT 1 FBI SUPERFAST M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

As stated in PARAMETER 47, Fire Burglary Instruments developed Central Station reporting format known as FBI Superfast which is transmitted exclusively by FBI control products. Actually, there are two versions of this format, the most common of which is known as the (4 by 1 by 2 by 1) because of the way it assembles data for transmission to the Central Station.

The original version of the FBI Superfast format was transmitted in a configuration, which was also known as the LAR300 format because it was incorporated in an FBI control panel known as the LAR300. The format is composed of 8 characters, arranged in the following pattern:

1234 016 3

in which:

1234 refers to the subscriber's Account Number 016 refers to the actual Zone Number responsible for the alarm 3 refers to the Event (Alarm) Code

Both the LAR300 panel and its accompanying reporting format are no longe popular and have since been replaced by the current 4x1x2x1 FBI Superfas described in PARAMETER 47.

Page 71

The purpose of PARAMETER 55 is to select, for each of the CP-220A's Line Cards, which will be in one of the two FBI Superfast formats – either the 4x1x2x1 or the 4x3x1 (LAR300) – will be expected by the CP-220A, an therefore processed at the Central Station. Because the LAR300 format is no longer popular, the 4x1x2x1 - which will be referred to as FBI Superfast fro this point on - is the default.

Programming Procedures:

Note that after entering PARAMETER 55, [SLOT 1 FBI SUPERFAST] appears on the display with the [1] flashing. If it is necessary to change the FBI format that Slot 1 (or any other slot) will process, take the followin steps:

1. Depress the

 key once. The [SUPERFAST] after [FBI] will begin to

flash.

2. If necessary, press the NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS

key to

change to the LAR300 format; after doing so, Slot 1 will be conditioned so that incoming FBI Superfast messages will be interpreted correctly.

3. Press the

 key so that the [1] after [SLOT] flashes again.

4. To change another slot, press the number key of the slot desired (e.g.,

PARAMETER 56:

Handshake

Duration

SLOT 1 HANDSHAKE 1 SEC M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

Whenever the Digital Communicator at a subscriber's premises is triggered, it calls the Central Station and waits for confirmation that the Digital Receiver is ready to accept its report. This confirmation, known as a handshake signal, is a tone sent from the Receiver back to the Communicator, indicating that the Receiver is "on-line" and ready to process data from the account (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-2).

Because many kinds of Communicators and communication standards exis today, there are also several different types of handshake signals that Digital Receivers like the CP-220A must be capable of generating. Often, the type of handshake tone sent back to the communicator reflects the kind o transmission format the Digital Receiver is able to process, and serves to prompt the communicator to transmit its data in that format.

PARAMETER 07 (see page 2-15) covered the three kinds of

andshake signals that can be produced by the CP-220A. PARAMETER 56 allows the duration of the handshake signal to be specified – also on a Line Card-by-

Line Card (Slot-by-Slot) basis – because certain reporting formats ma respond better to a longer handshake, especially if noise is experienced on the phone line.

NOTE: PARAMETER 56 will work for REC-11 Line Cards using Version 2.0

or later; or for REC-1 Line Cards with Version 2.5 or later.

Programming Options:

PARAMETER 56 permits each of the CP-220A's 8 slots to be programmed to deliver either a 1-second or a 2-second tone that will affect both the high-frequency (2300 Hz) and the low-frequency (1400 Hz) handshake signals capable of being produced by each Line Card. Note that the

i/Lo

handshake signal (see PARAMETER 07) will be unaffected by selections made in this parameter.

Programming Procedures:

After entering PARAMETER 56, [SLOT 1 HANDSHAKE 1 SEC] will be displayed. The number [1] after [SLOT] will be flashing. If it is necessary to change the duration of the fixed handshake tones (i.e., 2300 Hz and 1400 Hz only) for Slot 1, or any other slot, do the following:

1. Depress the flash.

2. If necessary, press the NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key to change the duration of the signals to 2-seconds.

Auto Mode

Sounder On/Off

AUTO MODE SOUNDER OFF M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

PARAMETER 57 is an adjunct to PARAMETER 04 (as was PARAMETER 37; see pages 2-9 and 2-38), which was used to globally enable or disable the

CP-220A's Internal Sounder. This sounder is intended to call the operator's attention to an incoming data transmission or to an error message. If it's "globally" enabled (in PARAMETER 04), and the CP-220A is being operated in the AUTOMATIC Mode (see page 2-103), the sounder will functio according to how PARAMETER 57 is programmed.

Keep in mind that, when in the AUTOMATIC mode, the CP-220A does no display any incoming messages, but routes them instead to the attached printer and (if used) automation system for direct processing.

Page 2-50 Section 2: Programming the CP-220A CP-220A Central Station Receiver Hook-Up and Installation Manual

REMEMBER!

To leave the Programming

Mode at any time, press

the Esc key. Doing so will

return the CP-220A to its

normal operating mode.

Programming changes will

be stored automatically.

Central Stations using Automation Systems usually operate the CP-220A in its AUTOMATIC Mode and prefer to keep the sounder off, because the

utomation System itself often provides its own "alert" when data

transmissions and error messages are received. However, turning the sounder off in PARAMETER 57 may not allow operator notification of ever error condition involving the CP-220A.

Programming Options:

If the sounder has been "globally" enabled in PARAMETER 04, use PARAMETER 57 to choose whether it will be ON or OFF, as desired, in the

CP-220A's AUTOMATIC Mode. If "ON" is selected, the sounder will operate for 3 seconds each time a message is processed. If "OFF" is chosen, the sounder will not operate at all in the AUTOMATIC Mode. If you choose to turn the sounder off, be sure that all error messages unique to the CP-220 will be annunciated by the Automation System.

Programming Procedures:

After entering PARAMETER 57, [AUTO MODE SOUNDER ON] will be displayed. Use the NEXT key to toggle between enabling and disabling the sounder.

Default:

The sounder is factory set to "ON," and will operate for 3 seconds each time a message is received by the CP-220A in its AUTOMATIC Mode. As stated, this assumes that the sounder has been "globally" enabled in

ARAMETER

04.

4x2 With Parity

SLOT 1 4X2 AT 40PPS MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

The CP-220A is capable of receiving and processing many popular alarm Reporting Formats (see Appendix B). One such format, known as 4x2 (fou by two) with parity, is quite popular, and contains:

• a four-digit Account Number

• a one-digit Alarm (Event) C

• a one-digit Zone I.D.

lso sent along with the message (but not displayed or printed) is a single

parity digit containing a number that is derived through a calculation based on the 6 characters that precede it. When such a 4x2 message is received, the CP-220A performs the same calculation on the first 6 digits and compares the result with what was sent as the message's 7th (parity) digit. If they are identical, it's quite likely that the message was received accurately. Using this parity technique allows the receiver to process messages faster because, unlike the standard 4x2 report (which sends the entire message twice and compares them with each other), the parit technique requires only one round to process the data and confirm its accuracy, rather than two. The 4x2 (with parity) format may be transmitted using rotary pulses at 40 pps (pulses per second).

CP-220A Central Station Receiver Section 2: Programming the CP-220A Page 2-53 Hook-Up and Installation Manual

Page 77

Another Reporting Format, known as SESCOA Fast, is similar to the 4x2 (with parity), in that it transmits the same number of digits at the same (40 pps) rate, but allocates the data differently:

• a three-digit Account Number (base 15)

• a three-digit Alarm Code (base 15)

• a one-digit parity character

Because each format uses the same number of characters, the CP-220 cannot distinguish between messages received in these formats and uses PARAMETER 59 to differentiate between them. Note that this selection can be made on a slot-by-slot basis, as described below.

NOTE 1: PARAMETER 59 will work for REC-11 Line Cards using Versio

2.6 or later.

NOTE 2: Appendix B contains additional information on all Reportin

Formats.

Programming Procedures:

After entering PARAMETER 59, [SLOT 1 4x2 AT 40PPS] will be displayed. The number [1] after [SLOT] will be flashing.

If it is necessary to change between these formats as currently specified fo Slot 1, take the following steps:

1. Depress the

 key once. The [4x2 AT 40PPS] will begin to flash.

2. Press the NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key to display [SESCOA FAST], which is the alternate selection. Make the desired choice for Slot 1.

3. Press the

 key so that the [1] after [SLOT] flashes again.

4. To choose between the 4x2 at 40pps and the SESCOA Fast formats fo another slot, press the number key of the slot desired (e.g., 2 ). The chosen Slot Number and its currently assigned PARAMETER 59 format selection will be displayed.

5. Repeat the above steps for each Slot Number whose format capability must be changed, in the manner described.

Default:

When it receives a 7-character, 40-pulses-per-second message, each slot will initially assume its contents will be in the 4x2 (with parity) format.

Advancing to Next Parameter:

After programming PARAMETER 59, press the N key to advance to PARAMETER 60 – the next parameter in Category A. The CP-220A displays

the parameter just programmed ([PARAMETER NUMBER 59]) with its firs digit flashing, indicating its request for the next parameter number.

SLOT 1 FORMAT 4X2 WO/P MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

The CP-220A is capable of receiving and processing many popular alarm Reporting Formats originated at a subscriber’s premises (see One of these formats, known as 4x1 (four by one), contains 6 characters:

• a four-digit Account Number

• a one-digit Alarm Code

• a one-digit Parity Check sent along with the message

NOTE: Typically, this single parity digit contains a number that is derived

through a calculation based on the 5 characters that precede it. The parity digit accompanies the message (but is not displayed o printed). When such a 4x1 message is received, the CP-220 performs the same calculation on the first 5 digits and compares the result with what was sent as the message's 6th (parity) digit. If the are identical, it's quite likely that the message was received accurately.

Using this parity technique allows the receiver to process messages faster because, unlike the standard 4x1 report, it is not necessary to send the entire message twice and compare them – a commo message-checking technique.

Another Reporting Format, known as 4x2 (four by two) without parity, also contains six characters:

• a four-digit Account Number

• a one-digit Alarm Code

• a one-digit Zone Code

This 4x2 format uses no parity checking. As a result, the CP-220A canno distinguish between messages received in the 4x1 (with parity) and the 4x2 (without parity) formats because both produce the same number of digits. Therefore, PARAMETER 60 is used to inform the CP-220A which of these two formats it's meant to receive. Note that this selection can be made on a slot-byslot basis. See Appendix B for additional information on Reporting Formats.

NOTE: PARAMETER 60 will work for REC-11 Line Cards using Version 2.6

Background:

The CP-220A is capable of receiving and processing many popular alarm Reporting Formats – including one known as Radionics BFSK.

BFSK was designed to send its messages in a 3x1 Standard format (see Appendix B), which provides a 3-digit Account Number and a 1-digit Code. In terms of its alarm transmissions (using Codes 0 through 9), it is not

an Expanded Format; however, when the Event Code is in hexadecimal (i.e., B, C, D, E, F), expanded information will be sent.

Account 222 has just "closed" (Code C) via "User 2"

Account 333 has just experienced an alarm restoral (Code E) on Zone 5

Summary:

A report sent in the standard Radionics BFSK format will provide expanded information if the Event Code is a hexadecimal character between "B" and "F."

CP-220A Central Station Receiver Section 2: Programming the CP-220A Page 2-57 Hook-Up and Installation Manual

Page 81

Certain manufacturers whose control panels and digital communicators wil transmit the Radionics BFSK format offer the option of transmitting expande information for all Event Codes (i.e., 0 through 9 and B through F). This enhancement to the original format offers additional information that may be useful to the Central Station and may better serve the interests of the subscriber.

If the Radionics BFSK format is programmed for the subscriber's equipment, and an option exists to have expanded information sent for all Event Codes, PARAMETER 61 is used to inform the CP-220A which of the two versions of the format (EXTENDED BFSK ALARMS or EXTENDED BFSK ALARMS) is being sent.

NOTE: The terms Expanded (in the text) and Extended (on the CP-220A)

have identical meanings. See Appendix B for additional information on Expanded (Extended) formats.

The CP-220A allocates 5 characters for all incoming transmissions in the Radionics BFSK format, regardless of whether or not the messages carr expanded information. The table below provides several examples of ho messages will be processed by the CP-220A, depending on which of its two options (MAY EXTEND BFSK ALARMS or

Background:

Because there are many kinds of Digital Communicators and communication

standards in use today, there are also several different types of signals that Digital Receivers like the CP-220A must be capable o generating. Often, the type of handshake tone sent back to the communicator reflects the kind of transmission format the Digital Receive is able to process, and serves to prompt the communicator to transmit its data in that format.

•

The 2300 Hz (Hertz, or cycles per second) handshake signal is a "high

frequency" tone that is generally interpreted by Digital Communicators

(on

as an "invitation" to communicate in a High Speed format.

•

Similarly, the 1400 Hz handshake signal is a "low frequency" tone that

is generally sent by the Receiver if there is no response to its initial 2300 Hz handshake signal. The 1400 Hz tone invites the Digital Diale to communicate in a Low Speed format.

•

The Hi/Lo handshake signal is really two distinct tones that use both

the 2300 Hz and 1400 Hz frequencies. It is used with the High Speed (Superfast), ADEMCO Express and ADEMCO (i.e., Contact I.D.) communication formats. In the event that there are

DEMCO dialers reporting in these formats, it will be necessary for the

CP-220A to transmit at least one Hi/Lo handshake signal. NOTE: See Appendix B for additional information.

Programming Options:

The programming for PARAMETER 62 allows you to specify the sequence in which any Line Card's handshake tones will be produced, and, in conjunction with PARAMETER 07, the number of Hi/Lo handshakes (up to two) that will occur in the sequence.

Through PARAMETER 62, each Line Card's handshake sequence can contain the following handshake tones in any order desired:

• 2300 Hz

• 1400 Hz

• Hi/Lo (2300 Hz/1400 Hz)

The option also exists to program [NONE] for any Line Card. Selectin [NONE] prevents any handshake programmability in PARAMETER 62 and forces that Line Card to resort to the handshake sequences determined by the selections made in PARAMETER 07 (see page 2-15).

The table on the following page provides additional clarification and examples of how PARAMETER 62 and PARAMETER 07 are related i determining the sequence of handshake signals produced.

Programming Procedures:

After entering PARAMETER 62, [SLOT 1 1ST HS (NONE)] will be displayed and the number [1] after [SLOT] will be flashing. As stated, a customized sequence of handshake signals can be programmed for each of the 8 slots.

Unlike the previous parameters, the keystrokes used to program

(fields) to contend with:

• the slot (Line Card) number

• the handshake number in the sequence (1st, 2nd, 3rd)

• the handshake frequency (none, 2300 Hz, 1400 Hz, Hi/Lo)

Each is field is selected in the following manner:

Category B: Printer Operation

This material will cover the programming of the parameters found i Category B, Printer Operation. As stated on page 2-1, three distinc 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 b numerical sequence, is thought to be a more logical approach and is generally easier.

A complete guide to programming all the parameters in Category B (see column at left) will be covered here. In the discussion of eac parameter, you will be provided with:

• background information

• programming options

• an explanation of the default

• the next logical parameter in Category B

If you are about to program Category B parameters after leavin PARAMETER 62 (above), proceed to the following page. However, if you are first beginning to program at this point, you may wish to refer back to Entering and Using the Programming Mode, on pages 2-5 through 2-7, before continuing

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 needed for this purpose.

The best type of printer for event logging is a common with a

Centronics

to the receiver with a suitably long cable (not to exceed 10 feet), equipped with a

Centronics

secured by clips for that purpose.

Virtually any such printer will be suitable, but for Central Stations which 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) 645-5430) 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, or 182

PARAMETER 01: Printer I/O

PRINTER ON MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

PARAMETER 01 is used to determine whether or not the CP-220A's subscriber transmissions and its internally generated automatic messages will be transferred to a printer. If so, the printer's operation will also be continuously monitored by the receiver. In the event the CP-220A senses a printer failure, an alert will be sounded and the [PRINTER FAIL] message will be displayed. Depressing the NEXT key will clear the message.

NOTE 1: A printer failure will occur if the printer is turned off,

disconnected from the receiver, out of paper, or "off-line."

NOTE 2: The CP-220A's alert will be sounded as programmed

in PARAMETERS 04 and 37 (on pages 2-9 and 2-38, respectively).

Both the message (and the alert) will be repeated every 15 minutes thereafter until the problem is corrected. At that time, an alert will be sounded and a [PRINTER RESTORE] message will appear on the display (along with an alert).

NOTE: The CP-220A senses the printer restore on the next

minute change on its 24-hour clock.

If desired, the CP-220A's recognition of the printer can be disabled through PARAMETER 01 (if, for example, a printer doesn't exist). An additional setting known as [PRINTER ON COMP FAIL], if selected, will not output any data to the printer unless the CP-220A senses a failure in the attached Automation System.

NOTE 1: The parameters used to program the CP-220A to

interface with an Automation System is discussed in Category C, beginning on page 2-73.

NOTE 2: The CP-220A will not detect a printer failure in the

[PRINTER ON COMP FAIL] mode until the CP-220A attempts to transfer data to the printer.

Default:

The CP-220A is defaulted to [PRINTER ON].

Advancing to Next Parameter:

The next parameter in Category B is PARAMETER 35. Because it is no sequential, it cannot be reached with a single press of the  key. To advance to PARAMETER 35, press the N key.

Background:

Although all dot matrix printers recommended for the CP-220A (see page 2-

64) generate their own carriage return (CR) at the end of a line, they can be programmed – typically by their DIP switches or front panel controls – to produce their own internal line feed (LF) (i.e., advancement of the paper up one line) after each line of print is received. Since virtually all compute software programs send their own line feed commands during printing, it's generally not necessary for the printer itself to do so. Therefore, most printers are factory programmed to avoid generating their own line feed, using either the term AUTO LINEFEED or CR+LF.

CR + LF CR only

PARAMETER 35 provides the option of whether or not the CP-220

generates its own "line feed" command between the rounds of data it sends to the printer. In light of the fact that most printers will have their line fee turned off, it's best to accept the CP-220A's default of [PRINTER LINE FEED ON].

Printer Fail /

Manual

PRINTER FAIL / MAM ON MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

The CP-220A Receivers in many Central Stations are most often used with an Automation System and an attached printer. As a result, the CP-220A is almost always operated in its AUTOMATIC mode, in which it neither stores nor displays its incoming messages, but simply decodes and delivers them to both the Automation System and the printer. Thus, in the mode, no operator intervention is required.

NOTE: The CP-220A's AUTOMATIC and MANUAL modes are discussed i

greater detail on page 2-103, and in PARAMETER 40, on page 2-39.

If the CP-220A is operating in the AUTOMATIC mode and a printer is connected, the Central Station runs the risk that should the printer fail, subscriber messages would be lost. PARAMETER 38 is used to instruct the CP-220A as to whether it should leave the AUTOMATIC mode and enter the MANUAL mode in the event that the printer is out of service, disconnected, "off-line," or out of paper.

Programming Procedures:

After entering PARAMETER 38, [PRINTER FAIL / MAN ON] (meaning "i the printer fails, go to the MANUAL mode") will be displayed. The [ON] after [MAN] will be flashing.

Press the NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key to toggle between [PRINTER FAIL/MAN ON] and [PRINTER FAIL/MAN OFF], which keeps the CP-220A in its AUTOMATIC mode (if an Automation System is bein used to record the messages) in the event that the printer fails.

MESSAGE SPACE 1 LINES MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

Like PARAMETER 35 (see page 2-65), PARAMETER 41 relates to the appearance of the printout produced by the CP-220A's attached printer. PARAMETER 41 determines the number of blank lines (called spaces) that will "be printed" between separate phone calls or unrelated events. This can help you determine the most desirable appearance of the printout, while keeping in mind the conservation of paper. Because the ultimate appearance of the printout is determined by the printer settings and by 35, a range of possibilities has been made available in the accompanyin table on page 2-69. Refer back to PARAMETER 35 on page 2-65 fo additional background information.

Programming Options:

PARAMETER 41 offers a range between [0] and [9], representing the number of "spaces" that will be skipped between unrelated events on the printout. The following table summarizes the interaction between the printer and PARAMETERS 35 and 41, and references several sample printouts.

PARAMETER 34:

Test Character

TEST CHARACTER 01 MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

By sending a Test Character to the printer, the CP-220A is able to monito the printer's ability accept it, thus confirming the printer's connection to the receiver and its readiness to receive subsequent data. Printers that are turned off, disconnected, "off-line," or inoperative will be "failed" by the CP-220A.

Virtually all alphanumeric printers respond to a set of numerical codes tha represent both printer control commands and the characters to be printed. These codes are used throughout the computer industry, and are known as the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, or ASCII, fo short. By sending one of ASCII's nonprintable Test Characters (designated as [01] in this parameter), the desired printer supervision will be achieved. It should not be necessary to alter this parameter, except for special circumstances.

NOTE: Some printers may have a dedicated set of special characters fo

codes outside of the standard ASCII character set. If so, the recommended Test Character to be used should be what is referred to as an "unprintable" character. Consult your printer manual fo more information about this matter.

Programming Procedures:

After entering PARAMETER 34, [TEST CHARACTER 01] will be displayed and the [0] will be flashing. After reading the above, make any necessar

changes by using the NEXT key to advance the first character from [1] through [F], as required.

Press the

 key to advance the flashing cursor to the second character. In a

similar manner, use the NEXT key to change the second character.

Default:

ASCII character [01] is the Test Character.

Advancing to Next Parameter:

The next parameter in Category B is PARAMETER 43. Because it is not sequential, it cannot be reached with a single press of the to PARAMETER 43, press the N key.

The CP-220A displays the parameter just programmed ([PARAMETER NUMBER 34]) with its first digit flashing, indicating its request for the nex parameter number.

You can reach PARAMETER 43 by pressing the 4 and the 3 keys.

PARAMETER 43:

Auto Message

AUTO MESSAGE ON MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

PARAMETER 43 relates to the manner in which the CP-220A's printe operates when the receiver is in the MANUAL mode. Typically, when in the MANUAL mode, the CP-220A stores all incoming messages, and displays them one at a time, in response to the use of the NEXT key.

However, in terms of the CP-220A's printer, the same messages are automatically printed as they arrive, without being "buffered" or controlled via the use of the NEXT key.

Alternatively, PARAMETER 43 can be used to "link" the data sent to the printer with that sent to the display, so that incoming messages will be

printed only when they are displayed, and therefore controlled by the NEXT key.

Programming Procedures:

After entering PARAMETER 43, [AUTO MESSAGE ON] will be displayed and [ON] will be flashing. You may press the NEXT key or the

MANUAL/PREVIOUS key to toggle between [ON], which transfers message to the printer independently of the use of the display; or [OFF], which sends data to the printer at the time it is displayed through the use of the NEXT key. Remember that PARAMETER 43 only relates to the MANUAL mode.

Default:

[AUTO MESSAGE ON] is the default. As such, in the MANUAL mode, all incoming messages will be printed as they're received.

Category C: Computer 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 generally easier.

Category C: Computer Operation relates to the use of an System in conjunction with the CP-220A. In this section, the use of the terms computer and Automation System are interchangeable.

Introduction

For many years, computer systems have helped to streamline, o automate, Central Station operation by using the "raw" data from subscriber messages (received by units like the CP-220A) to access database stored on the Automation System's hard disk – from where it can be translated into useful information that can be read off a computer monitor or terminal. In the process, Central Station operators are relieved of the tedious process of having to relate the receiver's "alphanumeric" Account Numbers and Event Codes to paper-based records containing the identities of their subscribers. While many (if not all) Central Stations still use paper-based records for backup and emergencies, the main task of dispatching alarms and other pertinent events is performed far more efficiently through the use of a Computer (or Automation) System.

The Automation Systems found in today's Central Stations take several forms. When they were first introduced, mini-computers ran the operation, and were often large and very expensive. As the Personal Computer revolution developed and PCs, networked together, replaced many mini-computers in corporate environments, i wasn't long before the same technology appeared in Central Station monitoring – with great success, and at a much lower cost. While many Central Stations still have mini-computers for this purpose, virtually all automation packages developed today are strictly software-based and take advantage of the ready availability o inexpensive PCs.

Data Transfer

In either case, the means of connecting computing equipment so that communication among them is possible has been in existence for man years, in the form of an industry standard known as RS-232-C (Recommended Standard No. 232, Revision C), established by the

Electronic Industries Association (EIA) in 1969. Among other things, RS-232-C specifies the "pin-out" assignments on the plug and socket

utomation

Page 97

connections between the equipment, along with the kind of control, timing, and data signals that are required to transfer and exchange data in a serial fashion – one bit (binary digit) at a time (see

A). RS-232-C, or "serial" interfaces, which adhere to this standard, are

incorporated into almost all mainframe computers, mini-computers, modems, PCs, and their peripherals. Both the CP-220A's DTE (Dat Terminal Equipment) port to which the Automation System will be connected, and its DCE (Data Communications Equipment) port (see pages 1-11 and 1-14) support RS-232-C.

The DTE Port

The DTE connector, along with the proper cable, transfers the "raw" data processed by the CP-220A directly to the serial communications (RS-232) port. Not surprisingly, the cable connecting the equipment is known as an RS-232 or serial cable. The end of this cable at the CP-220A is a 25-pin "DB"-type (male) connector. Its other end varies according to the type of serial por provided by the computer: It may have between 9 and 25 "pins/holes" and be either male or female. While most mini-computers and PCs follow the RS-232-C protocol in terms of their serial port configuration, it's best to verify this by consulting the computer's documentation before connecting them to the CP-220A.

Note that FBI manufactures its No. 133 – which is a UL-Listed, custom-made cable providing the proper wiring and required connectors – for this purpose.

PARAMETER 43:

In terms of these parameters, the CP-220A assumes that there will be no

Automation System, and has set up its programming defaults in Category C accordingly. If you are currently operating your CP-220A without such

a system, no further programming is necessary. However, if there is (o will be) an Automation System and you are about to program Category C's parameters after completing PARAMETER 43 (on page 2-72), you may proceed below. Alternatively, if you are first beginning to program at this point, you may wish to refer back to

AUTO MESSAGE ON MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

When entering PARAMETER 00, [COMPUTER I/O OFF] will be displayed. This is the default, and assumes there will be no System connected. The parameter must be re-programmed to [ON] if such a system will be used.

NOTE: The term I/O means Input/Output, and refers to techniques

used to communicate with other computers or thei peripherals.

Programming Procedures:

Toggling between [ON] and [OFF] is accomplished by pressing the NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key.

Default:

PARAMETER 00 is defaulted to [COMPUTER I/O OFF].

Advancing to Next Parameter:

The next parameter in Category C is PARAMETER 02. Because it is not sequential, it cannot be reached with a single press of the advance to PARAMETER 02, press the N key.

The CP-220A displays the parameter just programmed ([PARAMETER NUMBER 00]) with its first digit flashing, indicating its request for the next parameter number.

RECEIVER TYPE FBI MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

Like the CP-220A, the hardware and software used with an Automation System must also be customized to perform properly in the Central Station.

In terms of its software, most automation "packages" need to know which Central Station Receiver will be providing the data to be processed. Although the CP-220A is considered to be an FBI Receiver, it has the ability to emulate the receivers of two other manufacturers: the RADIONICS 6000 and the ADEMCO 685. Use PARAMETER 02 if you either require, or desire, to change the CP-220A's "receiver emulation."

Choosing a receiver emulation other than FBI imposes certain restrictions on the Reporting Formats the CP-220A can process. The table below shows the restrictions imposed by selecting either ADEMCO or RADIONICS in this parameter. A listing of all the Reporting Formats capable of being processed by the CP-220A is detailed in Appendix B.

•formats using 4-digit Account Numbers

•ADEMCO-based formats:

•High-Speed •Express •Contact I.D.

•FBI Superfast •ACRON Superfast

•SILENT KNIGHT FSK •SESCOA Fast

•RADIONICS BFSK formats •FBI Superfast

•ACRON Superfast

•SILENT KNIGHT FSK

•SESCOA Fast

NOTE 1: If this parameter is left as factory programmed (FBI), all formats that the receiver is

capable of processing (see Appendix B) will be accepted by any and all Line Cards used in the CP-220A. Unless there are compelling reasons to do otherwise, select FBI for PARAMETER 02.

NOTE 2: Leave PARAMETER 02 as factory programmed (FBI) if no Automation System is

being used.

Programming Procedures:

Use the NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key to alternate among [FBI], [RADIONICS], and [ADEMCO].

Default:

PARAMETER 02 is defaulted to [FBI].

• the  key and 9

PARAMETER 09:

Serial Baud

SERIAL BAUD IS 1200 MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Background:

In PARAMETER 09, the Serial Baud Rate specifies the speed at which data is transferred between the CP-220A and the Automation System, and roughly equates to the number of bits per second being transferred. Unless the Baud Rate is set to the same value for both the CP-220A and the Automation System, errors in the transmission may occur. The higher the Baud Rate, the faster the data will be exchanged, but if the Baud Rate is set too high for either (or both) device(s), the data is likely to be garbled when received. The chosen setting should take into account the interaction of several factors:

• the maximum Baud Rate available to each device (usually 19,200 with

RS-232)

• the length of the cable connecting the two devices (the higher Baud Rates are most affected by a cable's electrical capacitance, which increases with its length); if possible, keep the length of the connecting cable to less than 100 feet

• the results obtained under actual operating conditions

Programming Procedures:

The Serial Baud Rate should be set to match that which was chosen for the computer. Any of 8 Baud Rates ([110], [300], [600], [1200], [2400], [4800], [9600], [19.2]) are available, and can be obtained by pressing either the

NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key, as required.

OTE: The [19.2] designation refers to 19.2 kilobaud – 19,200 baud.

Default:

PARAMETER 09 is defaulted to [1200]. Because of the limited amount o data being transferred between the CP-220A and the Automation System, there is no significant advantage in using the higher baud rates.
