Chapter 2: Installation
This chapter provides information to install the CPP Monitor 2000.
Please read the entire chapter before starting.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
The CPP Monitor 2000 should be mounted and operated in a clean,
dry environment. The unit is microprocessor controlled and as a
result it should not be installed near devices that generate strong
electromagnetic fields. Such interference is typically generated by
power switching equipment such as relays or contactors. A poor
operating environment may result in unwanted system resets and/or
system lockup. The temperature range the unit can operate in is
32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C). If the unit needs to operate below
freezing, a strip heater should be installed nearby.
MOUNTING THE UNIT
When you receive the unit, carefully remove it from the box.
Mounting tabs with holes are provided on the left and right sides of
the enclosure (see figure below). Mount the unit in a position that
allows easy access to the input terminal block, battery compartment, on/off switch and the programming port. Also, there must be
a power outlet and telephone jack close to the unit.
Chapter 2: Installation
CAUTION:The CPP Monitor 2000 is a sensitive electronic device. Personnel and
work area should be grounded before coming into contact with this device. Do
not install the CPP Monitor 2000 near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic,
magnetic or radioactive fields.

POWER SURGE PROTECTION
The CPP Monitor 2000 can be damaged by power surges and
lightning through the telephone line and the power supply. Although
the unit has built-in surge protection, we strongly recommend that
additional protection be obtained for the unit and for any electronic
equipment that is attached to your power supply and telephone lines.
Power surge protection is especially important if you live in a
lightning-prone area.
BATTERY BACKUP
The CPP Monitor 2000 has a compartment for 6 “C” cell NickelCadmium rechargeable batteries (not included). Be sure to use
quality batteries that are rated for at least 2200mAhr. These will
provide approximately 10-15 hours of unit operation in the event of
a power failure.
NOTE: Use ONLY Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable
batteries.
The unit will constantly recharge the batteries whenever the power
switch is turned on and the unit is plugged into a power supply.
Also, a 3V lithium battery is included for memory storage, to retain
user programming. This battery should provide at least 2 years of
service without power, and up to 10 years of intermittent use.
Turning the CPP Monitor 2000 on
Thread the power supply cord through the strain relief ring next to
the power jack, and plug it in. Then plug the transformer into a
115VAC 60Hz outlet. The ring anchors the cord, protecting the plug
and jack. Slide the power switch to ON to start the unit. The
System-On LED should glow steadily.

It is important to note that when the unit is turned off, all programming is retained in non-volatile memory via the internal 3V lithium
battery. The “C” cell Ni-Cad batteries are not in use when the power
switch is off.
TELEPHONE LINE
Connect the CPP Monitor 2000’s PHONE LINE jack to a standard 2
wire analog phone line. The unit dials using pulse or tone, with loop
start only. The CPP Monitor 2000 will recognize ringer frequencies
from 16 to 60 Hz and will operate with all standard analog telephone systems that accept pulse or tone dialing.

CAUTION: Do NOT connect the unit’s VOICE
RECORD jack to a live telephone line as this will
cause permanent damage to the unit.
Certain private telephone systems and public switching equipment
may not accept the unit’s dialing or may generate an unacceptable
ring signal. In those cases, a dedicated line may be required for the
unit. Consult the supplier of your telephone system if you encounter
problems.
CAUTION: Never install telephone wiring during a
lightning storm. Never install telephone jacks in wet
locations unless the jack is specifically designed for
wet locations. Never touch uninsulated telephone
wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface. Use caution
when installing or modifying telephone lines.
23
Page 24
CPP Monitor 2000 User’s Manual
Line Seizure
Line seizure gives the 2000 unit the ability to “seize” the telephone
line when it needs to dial out. For example, if an emergency occurs
which puts the 2000 in alarm mode, the unit will be able to dial out
even if a telephone has been left off the hook. To the right of the
PHONE LINE jack is another labeled PHONE EXT. This jack can
be used to share a phone line with other devices (telephone, fax
machine, modem) and to give the 2000 priority in the event of an
emergency. To make use of this feature you must have all the
extension devices originate from the PHONE EXT. jack. Whenever
the unit must make an alarm phone call, the unit will disconnect any
current phone calls and seize the line for its own use. The unit will
continue to seize the line until the alarm has been acknowledged.
INPUT CONFIGURATION
The CPP Monitor 2000 can accept analog and digital inputs over the
range 0-5VDC. It can also accept current from 4-20mA transducers.
The input load for current transducers is 220 Ohms.
To set the input configuration, adjust the jumpers located just below
the terminal block. Needlenose pliers are recommended for moving
shunts. There is one for each input so that each input can be
individually configured. For thermistors, N.O./N.C.(normally open/
normally closed) dry contacts, run time and pulse count, set the
jumper to the left (marked TMP/DRY). For current transducers set
the jumper to the right (marked 4-20mA). For 0-5VDC transducers,
remove the jumper or simply hang it off one pin for storage purposes. See the figure below.
24
Page 25
WIRING SENSORS AND TRANSDUCERS
Thermistors: The unit will accept 2.8K and 10K thermistors. These
should be wired to an input terminal and the adjacent ground
terminal. For compatible thermistors check the thermistor data in
the appendices.
Dry Contacts:Only contacts which have no voltage or current
applied may be used. Connect the contact to an input terminal and
an adjacent ground terminal. Do NOT try to monitor a contact that
switches 120VAC. This will permanently damage the unit.
4-20mA: A 4-20mA transducer requires you to have an external DC
power supply for the transducer. Make sure the input is configured

Communications Setup
The software will communicate to your 2000 through your
computer’s local serial port or through your modem. These communication paths must be properly configured for a connection to be
established. (If you ran the auto-configure option at start-up, you
may skip over this section.) To configure the communications
settings manually, click on Configuration>Communications Setup.
Local Port Configuration
Select the appropriate serial port to communicate with the 2000.
This must be a serial port on your computer that is unused and can
be connected to the CPP Monitor 2000’s RS232 port.
Modem Setup
Select the serial port that communicates with your modem and
select the maximum baud rate of your modem. This will typically be
all that is required to configure your modem; however, additional
options have been included and are described below.
Retries: This is the number of times Manager 2000 will attempt to
call a CPP Monitor 2000 if it encounters a busy signal or is unsuccessful at making a connection during any manual attempt to call
out.
Use All Dial Time: Checking this box will make the Manager 2000
software wait until this time period has expired before attempting to
communicate with the unit, even though a connection may have
been established earlier.
Dial Time Out: If a modem connection is not established with a
CPP Monitor 2000 before this time expires, Manager 2000 software
terminates the call.
30
Page 31
Modem Setup String: Manager 2000 allows you to enter a setup
string using the AT command set. These are usually only needed if
you are having trouble getting your modem to connect to a CPP
Monitor 2000 unit. See your modem Operator’s Manual for a list of
AT commands supported by your modem. Note that Manager 2000
software will send the “AT” part of the command automatically.
Communication Status
Chapter 3: Communications
The Communication Status screen provides information regarding
communication performance, communication errors and text
descriptions of communication activity in real time. The screen is
useful for troubleshooting communication problems. The parameters for error thresholds and packet timing are adjustable in the
Advanced Comm Setup menu.
31
Page 32
CPP Monitor 2000 User’s Manual
Advanced Comm Setup
The Advanced Comm Setup form can be used to tune and customize the communication performance of Manager 2000. Typically
you will not need to change these parameters for any reason.
Listed below is a description of each of the parameters on the form:
Status Level: This parameter determines which messages will
appear in the display on the Communication Status form. There are
eight levels of messages:
Level 0:Messaging disabled
Level 1:Adds significant events and errors
Level 2:Adds modem events, writes to unit & file messages
Level 3:Adds packet errors, advanced modem messages,
Level 4:Adds notification of read from unit
Level 5:Adds packet data
Level 6:Adds notification of input status polling
Level 7:Adds polling packet data
Packet Retries: Information flows back and forth between CPP
Monitor 2000 and your PC in data “packets.” Both automatically
check for packet transmission errors. When a bad packet is detected,
it gets sent again. Packet Retries determines how many times a
packet is sent before a communication error is logged.
download messages
Error Threshold: Determines how many consecutive errors will
result in a disconnect.
Retry Time Out: This is the amount of time Manager 2000 will wait
for a response from a CPP Monitor 2000 unit before it decides to
make another request.
Packet Time Out: The amount of time before the PC gives up and
determines that an individual modbus request has timed out.
Decreasing this parameter will not increase performance, but
increasing the parameter may remove occasional errors.
32
Page 33

Chapter 4: Programming
The CPP Monitor 2000 software provides access to all of the unit’s
programming through point-and-click menus. The unit can be
programmed either locally through the serial port or remotely via
modem. When you are finished programming, the CPP Monitor
2000 Windows software provides the option to save the unit’s
programming on your computer for backup purposes. You must
save this programming information in order to view the programming off-line for any unit. Once you save the programming for a
particular unit, you may copy the same information into another
unit if desired. A default programming file (defaults.s2k) is
included in case you want to restore the unit to factory default
settings.
SETTING UP NEW UNITS
When a new unit is added you will be prompted to fill in a Unit
Data form. This form holds the unit’s description and phone
number as well as password information. CPP Monitor 2000 features
two-level password access: one for programming and one for
status. Status-only access allows you to view input values and
programming but does not allow you to change any parameters.
This is useful if you want to allow multiple users to view the
information for this unit but do not want them to be able to change
anything. If this is the first time the unit is being accessed you
should set up both passwords. When other users add this unit to
their computer you can give them the status password and/or the
programming password depending on your requirements. When
logging in using the status password the software will automatically
send the password during the initial connect sequence. When
logging in using the program password you will be prompted to
enter the password after connecting. You may also allow the
software to automatically log in with the programming password by
clicking the “Save program password to disk” box.
Chapter 4: Programming
Note that if you do not enter a programming password, a default password of “S2000” will be entered
for you.

COMMUNICATING WITH CPP Monitor 2000
This section describes the procedure for communicating with a
CPP Monitor 2000 unit.
Note: the 2000 can only communicate with one person at a time.
This means that if someone is logged on through the RS232 port,
the unit will NOT answer a call, nor will it make any calls until the
connection is closed. Conversely, if someone is on-line using the
modem, you cannot log on through the RS232 port.
Choose Local or Modem communication.
Local Communication
For Local communication you must connect one of your computer’s
serial COM ports to the 2000’s RS232 port.
1. Click the “Open” button on the Toolbar. The “Open Connection”
form will appear.
2. Choose the unit you want to connect with from the text box.
3. Select “Local” Connection Mode.
4. Click “Connect.”
Chapter 4: Programming
Your PC will connect locally to the CPP Monitor 2000 unit. If a
local connection is not established, see the Troubleshooting section
of this manual.
Modem Communication
For Remote communication you must have a modem and a telephone line connected to your computer.
1. Click the “Open” button on the Toolbar. The “Open Connection”
form will appear.
2. Choose the unit you want to connect with from the text box.
3. Select “Modem” Connection Mode.
4. Click “Connect.”
37
Page 38
CPP Monitor 2000 User’s Manual
Your PC will instruct the modem to dial the CPP Monitor 2000 unit
using the phone number from the Unit Data form. The CPP Monitor
2000 will answer the call and establish a connection with your
modem. If a remote connection is not established, see the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
Off-line Communication
Off-line communication provides a method of viewing the programming in a unit without being connected. You can also query, view or
print information from the Data Logger or Event Logger while offline. For Off-line communication you must have a data file saved
for the unit selected. This can only be created after you have
finished programming a unit while on-line and saved the programming. The Manager 2000 software will prompt you to save when
you exit, or you can save by clicking File>Save Data from the menu
bar. A “File Save” box will appear so that you can enter a file name
for that unit. Do not change the .s2k extension because the software
uses this to identify CPP Monitor 2000 data files.
MANAGING UNIT PROGRAMMING FILES
The programming parameters of a CPP Monitor 2000 unit should be
saved to a Data File in your computer. There are several reasons for
this:
1. In order to view a unit’s programming off-line, you need to save the
unit’s programming in a Data File.
2. Once you save the programming for a particular unit, you may copy
the same information into another unit.
3. It’s a good idea to have a backup copy of a unit’s programming in
case the unit gets damaged.
The Manager 2000 Windows software allows you to view saved
CPP Monitor 2000 unit information without being connected to a
unit. You may view a unit’s programming, or view a unit’s downloaded Data Logger or Event Logger. In order to view a unit’s
programming, you need to save the unit’s programming in a Data
File while still on-line.
To create a Data File:
While you are on-line, choose “File” from the main menu, then
select “Save Data.” Enter a file name, then click “OK.”
This will create an Offline Data File.
38
Page 39
Chapter 4: Programming
To view a Data File Off-line:
1. Click the “Open” button on the Toolbar. The “Open Connection”
form will appear.
2. Choose a unit from the text box.
3. Click Edit on the “Open Connection” form. The name of the last
Off-Line Data File that was created or saved appears in the lower left
corner of the Unit Data form. Click “OK” to accept the file or click
the Browse button next to the filename to select another file.
4. Under Connection Mode, select “Off-line.”
5. Click “Connect.”
The Manager 2000 software will display the programming parameters as if you were connected with a unit. You can view these
parameters, but you can’t change them.
To delete a Data File:
Choose “File” from the main menu, then select “Delete Data File.”
Select the file you wish to delete and click “OK.”
To load an existing Data File into a CPP Monitor 2000 Unit:
1. Establish an on-line connection with a CPP Monitor 2000 (either
Local or via Modem).
2. Choose “File” from the main menu, then select “Load Data.”
3. Select the Data File you wish to load, then click “OK.”
The selected Data File will be loaded into the CPP Monitor 2000.
All existing programming in the unit will be overwritten.
SYSTEM PROGRAMMING
The System form includes the global system parameters that apply
to the unit in general. You must be on-line with the unit to program
the System parameters. Once you are on-line, choose Program from
the main menu, then select System. You can also access the System
programming from the Toolbar button labeled System.
Below is a list of the parameters, their default settings and the range
of programming for each parameter.

Dialing Prefix
The “Dialing prefix” box on the System Settings screen is for email
prefixes only. If for instance the 2000 is on an office phone system
where it had to dial a “9” to get an outside line, entering a “9” here
will force the 2000 to dial “9” before dialing the email server phone
number.
To enter a specific prefix for dialout types other than email, go
instead to the Dialout Destination screen (see “Destinations” section
later in this chapter) and enter the prefix with the phone number in
the Destination column, following the instructions under “Special
Dialing Codes.” You must enter each prefix manually for each
individual phone number that requires one.

Chapter 4: Programming
choose hours, minutes, or seconds for time measurement, under the
Configuration tab. When the limit of 999,999 is reached, the value
will return to zero.
This is the current status of each input with respect to that input’s
alarm programming. For any input that displays a numeric value,
(temperature, 4-20mA, 0-5VDC, pulse count, or time accumulator)
the Status column will display either Okay, High, or Low. For N.O./
N.C. inputs, the Status Column will display either Open, Closed, or
the label selected for that input from the Configuration tab.
The actual alarm state of the input. There are 5 possible alarm
states: No Alarm, Waiting, Alarm, Outstanding, and Cleared.
Definitions:
No Alarm (green) - A digital input is in its normal position or an
analog input is within the programmed alarm limits.
Waiting (yellow) - A digital input is in the alarm position or an
analog input has gone outside of the programmed alarm limits but
the input’s alarm recognition time has not expired.
Alarm, Alarm High, Alarm Low (red) - A digital input has remained
in the alarm position or an analog input has remained outside of the
programmed alarm limits for the length of the alarm recognition
time. An unacknowledged alarm exists.
Cleared (purple) - An alarm has been acknowledged, but the input is
still in the alarm position or is still outside of the programmed alarm
limits.
Outstanding (pink) - An unacknowledged alarm exists but the input
has returned to its normal position or back to within the programmed alarm limits.

Table Low & Table High:
An important feature that CPP Monitor 2000 offers is the ability to
create a unique linear table for each 4-20mA or 0-5V analog input.
The Table Low & Table High fields are used to define the upper and
lower analog display limits for 4-20mA and 0-5V input types. For
example, suppose you’re using a 4-20mA transducer to measure the
depth of water in a 75 foot well. Simply enter a Table Low of 0, and
46
Page 47
a Table High of 75 and the CPP Monitor 2000 will scale the input to
read between 0 and 75.0. The Table Low & Table High fields are
also used to set the upper and lower limits for the bar and gauge
monitors found on the Monitor form.
Programmable ranges:
Default settings:
Calibration:
To compensate for minor variances in sensor accuracy, an offset
may be programmed for each input. For example, if input #3 is
sensing temperature and is reading 2.5 degrees too high, then the
calibration for input #3 should be set at -2.5 to obtain an accurate
reading. Digital inputs (N.O. and N.C.) cannot be calibrated.

DESTINATIONS
CPP Monitor 2000 will call up to 32 telephone numbers or E-mail
addresses (both referred to as destinations) to report alarm conditions or send reports. Destinations can be voice calls, fax machines,
computers with modems running CPP Monitor 2000 software, Email addresses, numeric pagers, or alphanumeric pagers. You must
be on-line with the unit to program the Destination parameters.
Once you are on-line, choose Program from the main menu, then
select Destinations. You can also access the Destination programming from the Toolbar button labeled Destinations.
54
Dialout Destinations form
The Dialout Destinations form allows you to program information
for up to 32 destinations. The parameters and their options are listed
below:
Name:
This field allows you to program a description (16 characters max)
for each destination. The name will appear on faxes and E-mail
transmissions whenever an alarm or report is sent to the destination.
If you are entering a fax destination be sure to use the name of
person who you intend to receive the fax.
Page 55
Destination:
The actual telephone number or E-mail address CPP Monitor 2000
dials to deliver its report or alarm message. The Destination field
can be up to 64 characters long for E-mail addresses and 32 digits
for all other Dial Types and may consist of numbers, letters, and
special dialing codes.
Numeric Pagers
The CPP Monitor 2000 can send alarm messages to numeric pagers.
It will automatically send its telephone number and the alarm input
number when dialing to a numeric pager. All you have to do is
enter the telephone number of your pager.
Example: (310)565-2300
Note: If your pager service is answered by a voiceprompted message you will need to enter additional
programming. See the Special Dialing codes section
below.
Alphanumeric Pagers
The CPP Monitor 2000 can dial alphanumeric pagers to send alarm
messages. The CPP Monitor 2000 will send the unit description,
telephone number, input name and input value. To program an
alphanumeric pager destination, enter the phone number followed
by the letter A and then the pager ID.
Chapter 4: Programming
Example: 1-610-555-4593 A 0504099
E-mail
The CPP Monitor 2000 can send alarm messages and reports via E-
mail. For this to work you must have an internet E-mail account
and register the unit with Crucial Power. The unit will automatically
dial a toll-free number to the E-mail server at Phonetics and then
forward the information to you. A monthly fee is required to
receive E-mail from your CPP Monitor Simply fill out the E-mail
registration card that came with your unit, or contact Phonetics for
more details. In the “Destination” field, enter the E-mail address.
Example: [email protected]
55

CPP Monitor 2000 User’s Manual
Special Dialing Codes:
Sometimes, when dialing out on certain phone systems, CPP Monitor
2000 may need special instructions to access an outside phone line,
to contact numeric pagers, or to use alphanumeric pager services.
The following dialing codes give CPP Monitor 2000 instructions on
how to send the phone digits when dialing the phone number. Each
code is counted as one digit toward the total of 32 digits. The
dialing codes are:
P = two-second pause. A two-second pause can be placed anywhere
within the phone number by typing the letter P (upper or lower
case). The pause takes up one digit and may be used more than
once. This is typically required when a pager service is answered by
a voice prompted message. You must add enough pauses to get past
the voice message. In this case you must enter the number you wish
to be displayed on your pager.
Example: 555-2233 PP 444-8877#
POUND (#) or ASTERISK (*): When dialing to a numeric pager, a
pound sign (#) or an asterisk (*) may be used within the phone
number. An asterisk (*) typically is displayed as a dash (-) on most
pagers.
Example: 1 # 6105554591 PP 986033 #
W = wait for answer. This code instructs CPP Monitor 2000 to wait
until the call is answered before continuing. The “W” code takes up
one digit and may be used only once. The “W” code is typically
used in the middle of a dialout number when calling a numeric
pager. The CPP Monitor 2000 will wait for the pager company to
answer the call before sending the number to be displayed on the
pager. Note that the 2000 automatically waits for the call to be
answered after the last digit in the telephone number is dialed.
Example: 1-610-555-4593 W 610-558-2000
(pager company phone #) W (number to display on numeric pager)
Note that digits following “W” to numeric pagers will
automatically be dialed as touch-tones.
I= send alarm input #. This code instructs CPP Monitor 2000 to send
the input numbers that have an alarm to a numeric pager. The “I”
code takes up one digit and may be used only once in the phone
number. Note that this is only required if you must insert additional
dialing codes (such as pauses) to make your pager work.
Example: 555-2233 PP 444-8877 I
56
Page 57
Special Alphanumeric Pager Dialing Codes
A = alphanumeric pager ID (required)
C = alphanumeric character password (optional)
A = alphanumeric pager ID: The “A” dialing code is used ONLY
for alphanumeric pager destinations. It is placed between the pager
company’s telephone number and a particular pager’s ID number by
typing the letter A (upper or lower case). It instructs CPP Monitor
2000 to wait until a connection is made to the alphanumeric pager
service’s computer system before transmitting the ID number for a
particular pager.
Example: 1-610-555-4593 A 0504099
C = alphanumeric character password: The “C” dialing code is
used ONLY for alphanumeric pager destinations and only if your
particular pager system requires a character password. This
password may be required for CPP Monitor 2000 to access the pager
service’s computer system. If required, it is placed between the
pager company’s telephone number and the required character
password in the dialout sequence by typing the letter C (upper or
lower case). The character password must precede the pager ID
number.
Chapter 4: Programming
Example if character password required:
1-610-555-4593 C 000000 A 0504099
(pager company phone #) C (character password) A (pager ID #)
The alphanumeric character password is optional and is, in general,
reserved for future services. Length of the password, when used,
may be different in some systems. Consult your pager service for
more information.
Call Zones:
CPP Monitor 2000 is capable of assigning different destinations to
specific calling groups (zones) to accommodate work shift schedules. There are 4 Call Zones to choose from. To include a destination in a Call Zone, check the appropriate box. To set up Call
Zones, click on the “Edit Zones” button and the following form will
appear:
57
Page 58
CPP Monitor 2000 User’s Manual
The Edit Calling Zones form divides up the 7 day week into 21
blocks of time. To change the start and end time for each block,
drag the horizontal divider bars up or down as needed. To reassign
a block of time to a different Call Zone, click inside the block until
it matches the color of the desired zone. To change the color of a
zone, double click on the zone’s color square at the bottom of the
form. Select a new color from the palette, then click the OK button.
edit zones form
Alarm Call Mode:
The three selections for destination Alarm Call Mode are Disabled,
Until Acknowledged, and Inform.
Disabled:
Destinations programmed with Alarm Call Mode Disabled will
never be called. This is simply a way to disable dialing to this
destination if necessary.
Until Acknowledged:
Destinations programmed with Alarm Call Mode “Until Acknowledged” will continue to be called until one of them acknowledges
58
Page 59
Inform:
Chapter 4: Programming
the alarm. Once acknowledged, the remaining destinations will not
be called.
Example: An alarm occurs and the CPP Monitor 2000
is programmed to call destinations #1,#2, and #3 and
all 3 destinations are Alarm Call Mode “Until
Acknowledged.” The unit will call destination #1, if
the alarm isn’t acknowledged, it will call #2. If
destination #2 doesn’t acknowledge, then the unit will
call destination #3. If the alarm still hasn’t been
acknowledged, CPP Monitor 2000 will call destination
#1 again. This process will continue until one of the
destinations acknowledges the alarm.
Note: Fax and E-mail destinations cannot be pro-
grammed as “Until Acknowledged” call modes.
Destinations programmed with Alarm Call Mode “Inform” will be
called until the alarm message has been successfully delivered one
time, regardless of acknowledgment. If a transmission to an
“Inform” destination was successful, that destination will not be
contacted again. CPP Monitor 2000 will only make additional
attempts to contact an Alarm Call Mode “Inform” destination if that
destination hasn’t successfully received its transmission (for
example, due to a “no answer,” “busy signal,” “no carrier” response). If a transmission fails to reach a destination after the last
calling round is completed, the failure is recorded in the Event Log.
Calls to priority “Inform” destinations are useful for providing
records of alarm events.
Example: The CPP Monitor 2000 used in the above
example is monitoring the heating system in a school.
The first three destinations are set as Alarm Call
Mode “Until Acknowledged” and programmed to call
maintenance personnel. In addition, destination #4 is
programmed to call the school’s fax machine and is
set as Alarm Call Mode “Inform.” CPP Monitor 2000
will call the maintenance personnel as described
above so that they can fix the boiler, and will also
send a fax to the school office informing them of the
problem.
Important: Destinations programmed as Alarm Call
Mode “Inform” cannot acknowledge alarms.

CPP Monitor 2000 User’s Manual
Dial Type:
This is used to specify the type of call CPP Monitor 2000 will make
to a particular destination. The available dialout types are: Fax,
Voice, E-mail, Pager, Alpha Pager, and Modem.
Fax
- This instructs CPP Monitor 2000 to send a fax transmission to
either a fax machine or a PC with the ability to receive a fax
directly.
E-mail
- This instructs CPP Monitor 2000 to deliver a message to
the E-mail address programmed in the destination field.
NOTE: For “E-Mail” Dial Types, only E-mail
addresses may be programmed in the destination
field, NOT telephone numbers. CPP Monitor 2000 is
pre-programmed with a toll-free 800 number that will
automatically connect to Phonetics’ E-mail server
system. Note: E-mail service requires a subscription
fee.
Numeric Pager
- This instructs CPP Monitor 2000 to dial a
numeric pager and leave the unit’s ID number and alarm input
numbers on the display. This will happen automatically just by
entering the pager’s telephone number in the destination field. If
you want to change the information that is sent to your pager or you
are having trouble receiving the page, you may use the special
dialing codes to customize the dialout to your pager.
NOTE: When dialing to a numeric pager it is sometimes necessary to combine codes. Certain pager
systems vary and you must adjust accordingly. To test
your pager system, use an extension telephone on the
same line as the CPP Monitor 2000 unit and listen
in during the CPP Monitor 2000’s dial-out to confirm
that your pager service is reached without a problem.
If you must add a pause, use the letter P to insert a
two second pause wherever necessary.
Alpha Pager
- This instructs CPP Monitor 2000 to deliver a text
message to an alphanumeric pager.
Modem
- This instructs CPP Monitor 2000 to call a modem
attached to a computer running Manager 2000 software.
60
Page 61
Intercall Delay:
The intercall delay is the amount of time CPP Monitor 2000 will wait
after completing a call before calling the next destination. The delay
is in seconds, with a default of 30.
Note: A 30-second delay is too short to allow a call
back if a pager is being called. Increase the delay
time enough to accommodate your pager.
Send Report:
CPP Monitor 2000 can be programmed to automatically send reports
to selected destinations. Check this box to include this destination
when sending reports.
Note: Reports may only be sent to Fax or E-mail
destinations.
DATALOGGING

POLLING
Chapter 4: Programming
Polling occurs when a PC automatically calls a remote CPP Monitor
2000 with a modem at a predetermined time and retrieves information. The concept is similar to setting an alarm clock to download a
unit’s Data Logger or Event Log.
Polling is a useful feature for users who need to save more data than
the CPP Monitor 2000 is capable of holding. The unit’s Data Logger
can hold 32,768 input readings. This means that if one input is
being logged, CPP Monitor 2000 can store up to 32,768 data
samples, but if 10 inputs are being logged, the unit can only store up
to 3,276 data samples. Once the CPP Monitor 2000 has filled its
Data Logger, it will begin overwriting the oldest Data Log samples
with new samples. If it is important that you save all of your data
samples, and you intend to log more data than the CPP Monitor 2000
can hold, YOU MUST DOWNLOAD YOUR DATA.
To manually download CPP Monitor 2000 Data Log information to
your PC, simply press “Retrieve Data” on the “Datalogging”
programming form while on-line with the unit. The contents of the
Data Logger will be transferred to a database in your PC.
The process is the same for downloading the Event Log. While online with the unit, press “Download Events” on the “Event Log
Viewer” form and the unit’s Event Log is saved to your PC. Polling
is nothing more than choosing a time for these features to automatically execute.
To set up Polling, open the unit On-line or Off-line. To program
Polling, choose “Polling,” then “Unit Schedule” from the main
menu, or click on the Toolbar button labeled Unit Schedule.

Each time your PC polls a CPP Monitor 2000, you may download the
contents of the selected unit’s Data Logger, Event Logger, or both.
In the top left corner of the “Polling Setup” form there are 3 buttons
labeled Data Log, Event Log, and Both.
To schedule a poll, click on one of the buttons, drag it to the desired
day of the week column, and drop it at the desired hour. The Polling
Setup form is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)
calendar interface. Once you have released the button, you have
scheduled a poll. If you wish to change the time of a poll, drag it to
its new time and drop it. If you want to remove a poll, drag the poll
over the trash can icon and drop it. The poll will disappear and is
no longer scheduled.
Global View:
This button brings up a form that looks very similar to the Polling
Setup form, except it contains all of the scheduled polls for every

unit. If you wish to see the scheduled polls for a given unit you can
select that unit in the combo box on the Polling Summary form.
Settings:
Click this button to set the following Polling options:
Reset Data Log:
If this button is lit, the CPP Monitor 2000’s Data Logger will be reset
(cleared) once the poll is complete.
Chapter 4: Programming
Note: The CPP Monitor 2000 unit will not automatically delete its Data Log records when they are
downloaded, unless you select this button. Resetting
the Data Logger after polling is useful if you also
intend to print the Data Log records after polling. If
you do not clear the Data Log after a poll, the next
time you poll the unit you will download and print
the same records again.
Enable Polling:
If this button is lit, the current unit will be among the units polled at
the start of every hour. In order for your PC to make the scheduled
Polling phone calls to units, you must enable Polling for each unit
and turn on the master polling control. The master polling control
is enabled by selecting Enable from the Polling menu or by clicking
Polling Mode from the Toolbar.
Note: If you are logged into a unit with the PC,
polling for that hour will not occur until you exit the
unit. Also, it is important to note that if for some
reason you are logged into a unit for an entire hour,
your PC will not make the phone calls for that hour.
73

CPP Monitor 2000 User’s Manual
If you are going to utilize the polling feature heavily,
try to schedule polling at times when it is unlikely
that your PC is being used.
Print Data Log button
If this button is lit, the PC will print the downloaded Data Logger
information after each poll.
Print Event Log button
If this button is lit, the PC will print the downloaded Event Logger
information after each poll.
Note: The data downloaded from the CPP Monitor
2000 may be quite large, and printing all of it may
take some time. Remember to keep an adequate
supply of paper in your printer and also make sure
that your printer has enough memory to handle large
jobs. Automatic printing at the time of the poll
allows you to schedule the print job at a time when
it’s less likely to interfere with other activities.

Chapter 5: Status Report/Voice
Chapter 5: Status Report and Voice Messages
The CPP Monitor 2000 provides a voice status report via telephone
using its own internal voice in combination with your recorded
input messages. This allows you to set up a custom system that
fully describes the unit’s location, the input having a problem, its
current value and units of measure. The messages may be recorded
either at the unit by plugging a telephone into the Voice Record
jack, or remotely by calling the unit. This section will describe how
to program identification and input messages along with some
examples. In addition, obtaining a status report both locally and
remotely will be discussed.
Playing/Recording Messages using the Voice Record Jack
To play and record messages using the Voice Record jack you will
need a simple single-line Touch-Tone telephone. Plug this telephone directly into the 2000’s Voice Record jack. (DO NOT connect
the Voice Record jack to a telephone line or to a digital telephone
system. This will permanently damage the unit). When you plug the
telephone into the jack and lift the handset, the unit will recite a
status report. At the end of the status report, the unit will say “Enter
Password.” This is the voice password. Enter the voice password
using the telephone keypad buttons. If the voice password is
entered correctly, CPP Monitor 2000 will say “OK.” If not, the unit
will beep then say “ERROR,” and you will have to hang up the
phone and try again.
Once the voice password is accepted, Touch-Tone commands are
used to record and play back messages as well as listen to a status
report. The commands are listed below:
Play Command Record Command Erase Command Message Description
* 1 # 1 ##1 Input Message #1
* 2 # 2 ##2 Input Message #2
* 3 # 3 ##3 Input Message #3
* 4 # 4 ##4 Input Message #4
* 5 # 5 ##5 Input Message #5
* 6 # 6 ##6 Input Message #6
* 7 # 7 ##7 Input Message #7
* 8 # 8 ##8 Input Message #8
* 9 # 9 ##9 Identification (ID) Message
* * Status Report
75
Page 76
CPP Monitor 2000 User’s Manual
To record a message, press the [#] key followed by the message
number you want. For example, to record the ID message, press [#]
then 9. After you hear the start beep, begin speaking into the phone.
You have until the second beep to complete your message. You have
6 seconds of recording time for the ID message and 4 seconds for
each of the 8 input messages.
To play back a message, press the [*] key followed by the message
number you want. For example, to play the ID message, press [*]
then 9.
To request a complete status report, press the [*] key twice.
Note: Since the unit can only communicate with one
device at a time, it will not answer any calls nor make
any calls while you are on-line in local voice mode.
Local Status Report
To receive a voice status report at the unit, plug a telephone into the
Voice Record jack. After a few seconds the unit will begin reciting
a status report. At the end of the report it will ask for a password.
The password is the Voice Password required to change voice
messages and acknowledge alarms. If entered correctly, the unit
will allow you to use the Touch-Tone commands to record/listen to
messages and acknowledge alarms. When finished simply hang up.
Status Report
76
To receive a voice status report remotely, call the unit and after you
hear the unit beep, press any Touch Tone within 3 seconds. The unit
will then recite a status report. If the unit starts its modem tone
sequence, simply wait until it finishes. A status report will begin as
soon the tones finish. At the end of the report it will ask for a
password. The password is the Voice Password required to change
voice messages and acknowledge alarms. If entered correctly, the
unit will allow you to use the Touch-Tone commands to record/
listen to messages and acknowledge alarms. When finished simply
hang up. The unit will disconnect itself automatically if no TouchTone commands are received within 10 seconds.

Chapter 6: Operation
Chapter 6: Operation
After installation and programming have been completed,
CPP Monitor 2000 is fully operational. This chapter explains how
CPP Monitor 2000 operates.
PART ONE: ALARM DIALOUT AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
There are 3 stages to a complete alarm event: 1) Alarm Recognition,
2) Alarm Notification, 3) Acknowledgment. Note that not all alert
conditions will go through each stage. For example, some may not
meet the recognition time.
Alarm Recognition:
1) CPP Monitor 2000 monitors 8 inputs plus power failure. When the
status of an input changes or exceeds user-programmed limits, it
causes an alert condition.
2) If the alert condition lasts long enough to meet its programmed
recognition time, the alert condition becomes an alarm and
CPP Monitor 2000 begins the alarm notification sequence.
Alarm Notification:
CPP Monitor 2000 can make 6 types of phone calls: Voice, Fax, Email, Modem, Beeper, and Alphanumeric pager.
Dialout Note: Call Progress
CPP Monitor 2000 monitors call progress when dialing out. If
CPP Monitor 2000 dials out and encounters a busy signal or no
answer within 30 seconds, the unit hangs up, waits the programmed
intercall delay time, and then dials the next phone number.
79
Page 80
CPP Monitor 2000 User’s Manual
Alarm Call Mode: Until Acknowledged vs. Inform
Until Acknowledged:
Destinations programmed with Alarm Call Mode “Until Acknowl-
edged” will continue to be contacted until one of them acknowledges the alarm.
Note: Fax and E-mail destinations cannot be programmed as “Until
Acknowledged.”
Inform:
Destinations programmed with Alarm Call Mode “Inform” will be
contacted until the alarm message has been successfully delivered
one time. If a transmission to Alarm Call Mode “Inform” destination was successful, that destination will not be contacted again.
Important: Destinations programmed as Alarm Call
Mode “Inform” CANNOT ACKNOWLEDGE
ALARMS.
Alarm Dialout - Voice
When dialing out to a destination programmed as “voice,” CPP
Monitor 2000 waits for the phone to be answered, then recites its userrecorded identification message, then the message identifying the
input that has gone into alarm.
Below is an example of what CPP Monitor 2000 might say during a
typical ‘voice’ dialout:
“Hello, this is (user recorded ID message)”
“The electricity is off”
“Hello, this is (user recorded ID message)”
“The electricity is off”
“Hello, this is (user recorded ID message)”
80
Page 81
“The electricity is off”
“Enter acknowledgment code.”
In this example, the number of Voice Message Repetitions was set
to three.
Note: If the call reaches an answering machine, the
message will be recorded, but CPP Monitor 2000 will
be talking over your outgoing message, so you will
probably lose part of the first alarm message repetition.
Alarm Dialout - Beeper
When dialing out to a destination programmed as “Beeper,”
CPP Monitor 2000 leaves a number (usually the unit’s own phone
number) on the display of a numeric beeper.
IMPORTANT: When dialing out to a phone number
programmed as “Beeper,” CPP Monitor 2000 DOES
NOT speak a voice message. It calls the beeper
company or service, enters the number to be displayed on the beeper, then hangs up.
Chapter 6: Operation
Alarm Dialout - Alphanumeric Pager
When dialing out to a destination programmed as “Alpha,” CPP
Monitor 2000 leaves a text message up to 80 characters long on the
display of an alphanumeric pager.
IMPORTANT: When dialing out to a phone number
programmed as “Alpha,” CPP Monitor 2000 DOES
NOT speak a voice message. It calls the pager
company or service, transmits the information to be
displayed on the pager, then hangs up.
Alarm Dialout - Modem
When dialing out to a destination programmed as “Modem,”
CPP Monitor 2000 waits for the phone to be answered by a modem,
establishes a data connection, then transmits its alarm message.
IMPORTANT: When dialing out to a phone number
programmed as “Modem,” CPP Monitor 2000 DOES
81
Page 82
CPP Monitor 2000 User’s Manual
NOT speak a voice message. It is expecting the call
to be answered by a PC running CPP Manager
2000 Windows software. Once a connection is
established, the CPP Monitor 2000 transmits the alarm
information, then hangs up.
Alarm Dialout - Fax
When dialing out to a destination programmed as “Fax” CPP Monitor
2000 waits for the phone to be answered by a fax machine, establishes a connection, then faxes its alarm message.
IMPORTANT: When dialing out to a phone number
programmed as “Fax,” CPP Monitor 2000 DOES NOT
speak a voice message. It is expecting the call to be
answered by a fax machine. Once a connection is
established, the CPP Monitor 2000 faxes the alarm
information, then hangs up.
Alarm Dialout - E-mail
When dialing out to a destination programmed as “E-mail,”
CPP Monitor 2000 is pre-programmed to call the toll-free 800
number of the Phonetics’ E-mail server system. Once connected, the
unit delivers its alarm message to the E-mail address programmed
in the destination field.
IMPORTANT: When dialing out to a phone number
programmed as E-mail, CPP Monitor 2000 DOES
NOT speak a voice message. It is expecting the call
to be answered by the Phonetics’ E-mail server
system. Once a connection is established, the CPP
Monitor 2000 E-mails the alarm message, then hangs
up.
ALARM ACKNOWLEDGMENT:
Alarm Acknowledgment - Voice Dialout
Repeated below is the same example of what CPP Monitor 2000
might say during a typical “voice” dialout:
“Hello, this is (user recorded ID message)”
“The electricity is off”
82
Page 83
Chapter 6: Operation
“Hello, this is (user recorded ID message)”
“The electricity is off”
“Hello, this is (user recorded ID message)”
“The electricity is off”
“Enter acknowledgment code.”
CPP Monitor 2000 will now wait 5 seconds for the Touch-Tone
acknowledgment code to be entered. After the last digit of the
acknowledgment code has been received, CPP Monitor 2000 will
respond by saying: “Alarm Acknowledged.” The alarm has been
acknowledged and the unit will hang up. Once the alarm has been
acknowledged, the dialout process stops.
If the Touch-Tone acknowledgment code is not received, CPP
Monitor 2000 will respond by saying: “beep,” “error,” “goodbye.” The
alarm has not been acknowledged. CPP Monitor 2000 will hang up
and wait for a callback acknowledgment. This waiting period is
called the “intercall delay time.” During this time you may call the
unit back from a Touch-Tone phone. Wait for the unit to beep.
Then hit any key on the phone, and the unit will give a voice report.
Once you receive the complete report, enter the code to acknowledge the alarm. NOTE: An alarm cannot be acknowledged using a
pulse (rotary) telephone.
Alarm Acknowledgment - Beeper Dialout
CPP Monitor 2000 will dial out to your beeper service and leave a
number on the display of your beeper. (See Programming Section)
The unit will then hang up without speaking a voice message and
wait for callback acknowledgment. This waiting period is called the
“intercall delay time.” During this time you may call the unit back
from a Touch-Tone phone to receive a report of the alarm condition
and acknowledge the alarm by entering the acknowledgment code.
NOTE: An alarm cannot be acknowledged using a
pulse (rotary) telephone.
83
Page 84

Below is an example of what CPP Monitor 2000 will say when you
call it back to acknowledge a typical alarm:
“Hello, this is (user recorded ID message)”
“The electricity is off”
“Hello, this is (user recorded ID message)”
“The electricity is off”
“Hello, this is (user recorded ID message)”
“The electricity is off”
“Enter acknowledgment code.”
CPP Monitor 2000 will now wait 5 seconds for the Touch-Tone
acknowledgment code to be entered. After the last digit of the
acknowledgment code has been received, CPP Monitor 2000 will
respond by saying: “Alarm Acknowledged.” The alarm has been
acknowledged and the unit will hang up. Once the alarm has been
acknowledged, the dialout process stops.
If the Touch-Tone acknowledgment code is not received, CPP
Monitor 2000 will respond by saying: “beep,” “error,” “goodbye.” The
alarm has not been acknowledged. CPP Monitor 2000 will hang up
and wait for a callback acknowledgment. This waiting period is
called the “intercall delay time.” During this time you may call the
unit back from a Touch-Tone phone. Wait for the unit to beep.
Then hit any key on the phone, and the unit will give a voice report.
Once you receive the complete report, enter the code to acknowledge the alarm. NOTE: An alarm cannot be acknowledged using a
pulse (rotary) telephone.
TIP: When CPP Monitor 2000 is programmed to make
calls to beepers, make sure the intercall delay time is
long enough to give the person carrying the beeper
some time to get to a phone to call the unit back.
84
Page 85
Chapter 6: Operation
Alarm Acknowledgment - Alphanumeric Pager Dialout
CPP Monitor 2000 will dial out to your alphanumeric pager service
and leave a message on the display of your pager. (See Programming Section, Chapter Four, for dialing to beepers/pagers). The unit
will then hang up without speaking a voice message and wait for
callback acknowledgment. This waiting period is called the
“intercall delay time.” During this time you may call the unit back
from a Touch-Tone phone to receive a report of the alarm condition
and acknowledge the alarm by entering the acknowledgment code.
NOTE: An alarm cannot be acknowledged using a
pulse (rotary) telephone.
Below is an example of what CPP Monitor 2000 will say when you
call it back to acknowledge a typical alarm:
“Hello, this is (ID message)”
Input 1, closed, alarm exists
“Hello, this is (ID message)”
Input 1, closed, alarm exists
“Hello, this is (ID message)”
Input 1, closed, alarm exists
“Enter acknowledgment code.”
CPP Monitor 2000 will now wait 5 seconds for the Touch-Tone
acknowledgment code to be entered. After the last digit of the
acknowledgment code has been received, CPP Monitor 2000 will
respond by saying, “Alarm Acknowledged.” The alarm has been
acknowledged and the unit will hang up. Once the alarm has been
acknowledged, the dialout process stops.

and wait for a callback acknowledgment. This waiting period is
called the “intercall delay time.” During this time you may call the
unit back from a Touch-Tone phone. Wait for the unit to beep.
Then hit any key on the phone, and the unit will give a voice report.
Once you receive the complete report, enter the code to acknowledge the alarm. NOTE: An alarm cannot be acknowledged using a
pulse (rotary) telephone.
TIP: When CPP Monitor 2000 is programmed to make
calls to alphanumeric pagers, make sure the intercall
delay time is long enough to give the person carrying
the pager some time to get to a phone to call the unit
back.
Alarm Acknowledgment - Modem Dialout
CPP Monitor 2000 will dial to a waiting PC running Phonetics
Manager 2000 software and deliver an alarm message that will be
logged by the software. The software may be programmed to
acknowledge the alarm.
If the S2000 software acknowledges the alarm, the unit will transmit
the alarm information to the PC, hang up, and the dialout process
stops. If not, CPP Monitor 2000 will transmit the alarm information
to the PC, hang up and wait for a callback acknowledgment. This
waiting period is called the “intercall delay time.” During this time
you may call the unit back from a Touch-Tone phone and enter the
code to acknowledge the alarm. NOTE: An alarm cannot be
acknowledged using a pulse (rotary) telephone.
Alarm Acknowledgment - Automatic (Max Calls)
CPP Monitor 2000 has the ability to acknowledge itself by using the
Max Calls function. The unit keeps a count of the number of phone
calls it makes for a particular alarm. Once the number of calls made
reaches Max Calls, CPP Monitor 2000 will acknowledge the alarm
and stop the dialout process.
PART TWO: REPORT DIALOUT
The unit is capable of sending automatic reports on a programmable
time basis, (i.e. Send a report every x hours starting at time xx:xx).
Reports may be sent via fax or e-mail only, and will be sent to all
destinations programmed to receive reports. Reports cover the unit
86
Page 87
data, which includes the current conditions of each input, power
status, and battery condition. If the Data Logger is enabled and
programmed to send with reports, a Data Log report will also be
sent at this time.
PART THREE: CALL-IN STATUS
Using PC with Manager 2000 Windows Software: At any time the
unit is idle (not dialing out or communicating locally), you can call
into it using a modem. CPP Monitor 2000 will answer after its
programmed “Rings To Answer,” connect, and go on-line. At this
point you have entered an on-line session identical to the local
programming session, and may program the unit as necessary.
Voice Mode:
You can also call into the CPP Monitor 2000 using a Touch-Tone
telephone. After answering, CPP Monitor 2000 will beep once.
Immediately press any key on your Touch-Tone keypad to get a
voice status report. If the CPP Monitor 2000 doesn’t receive a
Touch-Tone signal within a few seconds, it will attempt to make a
data (modem) connection. If a data connection isn’t made after the
programmed “Carrier Wait Time,” CPP Monitor 2000 will again
switch to voice mode and recite a status report. Immediately
following the status report, CPP Monitor 2000 prompts you for a
voice-mode password. This password allows you to use Touch-Tone
commands to both listen to and record the unit’s voice messages.
Chapter 6: Operation
To listen to a recorded alarm message:
1. Press the [*] key on your phone.
2. Press the corresponding input number key: 1-8, or press 9 to

Chapter 7: Auto-Answer and Polling
Chapter 7: Polling Mode & Auto Answer Mode
Polling mode and Auto Answer mode allow your PC to communicate automatically with multiple CPP Monitor 2000s. Polling is the
process of calling units to retrieve the Data Log or Event Log (see
“Datalogging,” “Event Logger,” and “Polling” sections in Chapter
Four). Auto Answer mode let’s your PC receive alarm calls when
the destination type is set to modem. In order to receive alarm calls
or have the software perform polling you must have the program
running and have one or both modes enabled. When the software
receives an alarm message it will display it on your screen immediately as well as update the Event Log for that particular unit. When
using these features, your computer and modem must remain ON
continuously.
Enabling Auto Answer Mode
You can enable Auto Answer mode by selecting Functions>Auto
Answer from the menu bar or by clicking on the Answer Mode icon
in the Toolbar.
Note that Auto Answer mode can only be enabled if you are not
connected with a unit. Once you’re connected, it becomes grayed
out.
Enabling Polling Mode
To enable Polling mode, click on the Polling Mode icon on the
Toolbar or select Polling>Enable from the menu bar. This is the
global polling-enable control. In addition, each unit must have
Polling enabled (see Chapter Four for specific Polling Settings).
