Unlock the AR-5 cover and open the unit. Carefully verify that the unit is not damaged and the printed
circuit board is properly secured and connected to the transformer. Hold the AR-5 in its intended
position, verify leveling then mark the location of the upper corner mounting keyholes (Figure 3).
Using adequate mounting screws and anchors, secure the AR-5 repeater to the mounting surface. Be
sure to install screws in the two lower mounting holes. The conduit can now be installed into the
provided knockout locations. Power limited and non-power limited wiring must be in separate
conduit and kept a minimum of .25” apart in the enclosure. Refer to figure 3 for suggested wire
routing. WARNING: Make sure A/C supply is turned OFF prior to proceeding with A/C
connection. The AR-5 can accept 120 or 240Vac 50/60 Hz power. The transformer wiring
configuration is different for each voltage. Warning: If the transformer is wired incorrectly damage
to the transformer, AR-5 board or injury to the user can result. Refer to the wiring diagram for
proper connection of the desired input power. Use minimum 14 AWG 600 Volt copper wires for A/C
connections. Follow all applicable electrical codes. Attach compatible antennas to both SMA
connectors A and B at the top of the cabinet. If the repeater has not yet been enrolled into the CP-
3600(+) facp then make sure the CP-3600(+) is in enrollment mode before applying A/C power.
Verify SW2 switch 4 is off and 5 is on to enroll into the CP-3600(+). Apply A/C power and connect the
backup batteries. The repeater sounder will beep twice on power up. This is normal. Verify the green
power led is on steady. If it is not on or is blinking then verify the following:
1) Proper input voltage is present at transformer input.
2) Transformer secondary connector is correctly plugged into repeater board connector
labeled J4.
If the repeater doesn’t show an indication on the CP-3600(+) that it has been enrolled then it could be
out of range or the base code may have to be cleared. The repeater must be in range of the CP-
3600(+) or another enrolled repeater in order for it to enroll into the system. Instruction on clearing the
base code can be found in the clearing the base code section of this manual.
After the repeater is enrolled and power has been applied the repeater will transmit a power up reset
trouble to the CP-3600(+). This is expected on power up and does not indicate a problem with the
repeater. Reset the CP-3600(+) and the trouble should not come back. If the trouble reoccurs while
the repeater has power then this is an indication of a problem with the unit. A low battery trouble may
occur when the repeater is powered if the battery is low or was not connected within 200 seconds.
Reset the panel after both A/C and the batteries have been connected and the trouble condition
should only reoccur if it is due to low batteries or faulty battery wiring. If the batteries are low the
trouble will keep occurring until they are charged above low battery threshold. If a hardware fault
trouble is shown on the CP-3600(+) after enrolling the repeater, check the SW2 switch 4 and 5
settings. This switch must properly set when enrolling into a CP-3600(+) control panel. There are leds
located on the repeater pc board under each transceiver. These leds will begin to flash after the
repeater is enrolled and network communication is established. These are basic indicators and are
not to be used to determine operational status of the repeater.
3.3.1 Backwards Compatibility
The AR-5 Rev. 3.0 repeater can be used in an installation containing a CP-3500D or CP-
3000(A)(D)(DA) and AR-3 repeaters. The AR-5 must be properly configured to be backwards
compatibility in an installation containing CP-3500D or CP-3000(A)(D)(DA) and AR-3 repeaters. To
make the AR-5 Rev. 3.0 backwards compatible with the CP-3000(A)(D)(DA) and AR-3, set SW2
switch #5 to the AR3 position. To make the AR-5 Rev. 3.0 backwards compatible with the CP-3500D
and AR-5 Rev. 2.0, set SW2 switches #4 and 5 to the on (left) position. Power cycling of the AR-5 will
