  • Page 12: Front Cover

    The front cover must be removed to connect the Full Power Reserve Battery and connect the external signal line (Model A051 and A056 only) for the CP-3000. To do so, perform the following steps: Step 1. Disconnect the power cord from the power source if applicable.

  • Page 13: Placement/Location

    Placement/Location When choosing a mounting location for your CP-3000, you should ensure the following parameters are met:  The mounting surface and hardware is capable of supporting the unit’s weight, 9.66 lbs. (4.38 kg).  The area must be within the specified operating temperature range.

  • Page 14: Wall Mounting

    Step 9. Holding the sides of the cover, lift the CP-3000, bottom forward, to the back plate. Step 10. Align the tabs on the bottom of the CP-3000 housing with the grooves in the bottom flange of the back plate. Hold the CP- 3000 in place so that the tabs are even with the bottom flange.

  • Page 15: External Signal Connections

    External Signal Connections The model A051 and A056 versions of the CP-3000 are equipped with a single external signal relay circuit that enables you to activate an audible device such as a bell or buzzer. The relay contacts of the circuit are Normally Open and should not exceed Class 2 Circuit requirements (30 VAC RMS at 3A, or 30 VDC at 3A).
  • Page 16 Step 2. Following the manufacturer’s guidelines for the external device, connect the signal wires to it and run them to the mounting location of the CP-3000. Make sure the wires are properly labeled. Step 3. Strip approximately 0.25” (6.35 mm) of insulation off the ends of the wires that will be connected to the CP-3000.

  • Page 17: Connecting The Battery

    Step 9. Observing polarity, insert one wire into the CP-3000 through the knockout hole and connect it to the proper terminal position of CN7A. Using a screwdriver, secure the wire in place. Insert the other wire into the unit and secure in place. Make sure that only the stripped wire is clamped, and not the insulation.
