Section 4 - Operation
4.1 Indicators, Signals and Switches
This section will explain LED, Sounder and Switch functions. Refer to figure 4. This section also lists
trouble signals that may be generated by a repeater.
4.1.1 LEDS
The repeater board contains two led indicators for the following:
PWR – This green led indicates the status of the incoming A/C voltage. On steady indicates
proper A/C voltage is present. Off indicates low or improper A/C voltage present.
TRBL – This yellow led indicates a trouble condition exists with the repeater. This led will flash
when a trouble condition is present on the repeater. After the trouble is corrected the led will
continue to flash until the trouble is reset on the CP-3600(+) facp.
4.1.2 Sounder
The sounder is used as an indicator for signal survey and clearing the repeaters base code.
Specifics can be found in the signal survey and clearing base code sections of this manual.
4.1.3 Dip Switch SW2
The SW2 dip switch is located in the upper right side of the repeater pc board. Refer to figure 3. The
dip switch is used to select whether the repeater board is a CP-3600(+) receiver or an AR-5 repeater.
It also can make a repeater function as a standalone survey unit without being enrolled into a CP-
3600(+) facp. Switch position 3 is unused and should be to the right (off) position. Switch position 1
determines if the board is a receiver or repeater. This switch should be left (on) for a receiver and
right (off) for a repeater. Switch position 6 is used to make a repeater a standalone survey unit. A
receiver cannot be made to function as a standalone unit. Switch 6 should be right (off) for a repeater
in normal mode. Switch 2 is for synchronization of the nac circuits when using compatible Gentex
products. To activate sync, push switch 2 to the right towards the word sync. Switches 4 & 5
determine RF compatibility. For compatibility with a CP-3600(+) switch 4 must be off and switch 5
must be on. Any dip switch changes will require power cycling the repeater. See the backwards
compatibility section for further information.
4.1.4 Trouble signals
This section contains a list of trouble signals that can be transmitted by a repeater. Possible causes
are given to help the technician quickly solve the issue. The repeater is continuously monitored for
proper operation. If a problem arises then a trouble signal will be sent to the control panel within 200
seconds indicating the trouble condition. The trouble will be retransmitted every 200 seconds until the
problem is resolved. Some of the trouble conditions below are self-restoring as noted below with a *.
All other troubles will have to be reset at the CP-3600(+) and will not self-restore. The repeater will
also send a test signal to the control panel every 200 seconds. If the panel does not receive this
signal, a trouble signal will be displayed.
1. Test Failure* – Displayed by the CP-3600(+) when it doesn’t receive a repeater polling
transmission within 200 seconds. Possible causes are a missing antenna(s), break in repeater
communications or component failure in the repeater.
2. Power Loss* – Caused by low or no voltage present at A/C input to product. Check for proper
A/C supply.
3. Charger Failure – Caused by problem in battery charging circuit. Factory service is required.
