CP52S COMMERCIAL PROCESSOR Technical Support How can I hook a fire alarm control relay to the unit for complete muting? Connect a normally closed relay across the Paging Inputs (plus [+] and minus [-]) so they are shorted together. When an alarm condition exists and the coil becomes energized, the contacts open and the short is removed. The Paging Input Detect Threshold must be adjusted such that the noise floor is sufficient to trigger a paging condition and enable ducking, (i.e. set the detector just shy of maximum sensitivity - fully counter clockwise - so shorted turns off the green LED and open causes it to illuminate). Set the front panel Ducker Depth control fully counter clockwise so no program material is audible during an alarm condition. What are the EXPAND OUTPUT connections for? These fixed line level outputs are for driving other systems or "stacking" CP series together for larger applications. The signal may consist of paging only, program only or a copy of the zone signal. This output can be used for music on hold as well as zones not needing level adjustment (i.e. rest rooms, entryways and similar areas). What type of wire can I use to connect the remotes? For runs up to 200 feet any five conductor wire, 22 gauge or larger, will suffice. Use shielded wire for distances greater than 200 feet. Can Zone 1 of the CP52S operate in Mono mode? Yes. The CP52S has a Zone 1 Mono Switch on the rear panel. When Zone 1 of the CP52S is in Mono mode, which output LEFT or RIGHT should I use? Either output will provide a summed LEFT plus RIGHT mono signal. You can use both LEFT and RIGHT outputs simultaneously when needed, (like when you want to run two channels on a power amplifier without connecting a Y-cord.) When the Priority Signal finishes playing, it takes too long for the music to fade back in. Can I adjust this? Yes. The rear panel Program Priority Release Time control can change the interval from five to twenty seconds. I just want a remote volume control, not source selection. Is there a way to do this? All selection and level is done either on the front panel or at the remote; never both locations. Connecting just a VR1 to the CP52S remote control terminals will allow level adjustment. However without a source selector, the unit will default to source one. If the PRIORITY / L4 INPUT automatic switching is enabled, then the unit will select the L4 signal when present and L1 at any other time. Thus if only a jukebox (P/L4) and other line source (L1) are used, the remote volume control will work just fine. I just installed a unit and don't get audio. Or I hooked up the ZR1 source remote but can't get any audio. What happened? First check all the wire connections at both ends of the remote. All five wires must be connected for proper operation. Also make sure you didn't "flip" the wiring at one end of the cable...it happens. Also note that once the front panel RMT button is pressed "in" both the PROGRAM SELECT and LEVEL functions only work at the remote. These two front panel controls are disabled when the RMT switch is engaged. For testing, push the RMT switch and make sure it's in the "out" position. Then, re-test all functions of the CP52S. If all works fine now, the problem lies in the remote or wiring to it. I can't get the page microphone to work. What am I doing wrong? First check all the wire connections at both ends of the mic cable. Next be sure to set the PAGING INPUT MIC/LINE switch correctly on the front panel. Once you have the setting correct, turn up - clockwise - the INPUT TRIM control and see if you can light the OL indicator when you yell into the mic. Now adjust the DETECT THRESHOLD to get ACTIVE to illuminate. If all this checks out, it's time to follow the Recommended Calibration Procedure in the manual. If the above options don't answer your question, or it's urgent... Phone 425-355-6000, 8 AM to 5 PM PST, Monday through Friday.
