Crestron 3 Series User manual

The Crestron® CP3 and CP3N are compact, rack-mountable 3-Series®
automated control processors with numerous integrated control ports.
Featuring the 3-Series control engine, the CP3 and CP3N unify the
disparate technologies in residential, commercial, and government
buildings so that they can communicate and work together intelligently.
The CP3N also supports the Crestron Control Subnet, which is an isolated
gigabit Ethernet network dedicated exclusively to Crestron devices.
NOTE: The CP3 and CP3N are functionally similar. For simplicity within
this guide, the term "control system" is used to refer to both unless
otherwise noted.

Install the Device
The control system can be mounted into a rack or placed on a flat
surface.
Mount into a Rack
The control system occupies 1U of rack space. Use the three screws from
the front part of each side panel, and a #1 Phillips screwdriver to attach
the two included rack ears to the device, as shown in the following
illustration. Then mount the control system into the rack using four
mounting screws (not included).
Rack Mounting Safety Precautions
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
1
CP3 and CP3N QuickStart
3-Series Control System® Automated Processors

environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Airflow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment
is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be
such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.
Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of
the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the
circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power
strips).
Place on a Flat Surface
Attach the included feet near the corners on the underside of the control
system before placing it onto a flat surface or stacking it with other
equipment.

Connect the Device
Connect the control system as called out in the following illustration.
Connect power last.
When connecting the control system:
lUse Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
lThe control system can be powered with the included 24 VDC power
pack or via Cresnet® network power via the NET 4-pin terminal block
port.
lConnect the chassis ground lug to a known earth ground (for example,
building steel) to ensure the control system is properly grounded.

1. RS-422 transmit and receive are balanced signals that require two lines plus a ground
in each direction. RXD+ and TXD+ should idle high (going low at start of data
transmission). RXD- and TXD- should idle low (going high at the start of data
transmission). If necessary, RXD+/RXD- and TXD+/TXD- may be swapped to maintain
correct signal levels.
2. A ground terminal connection is recommended but not required.
Connect the Control Subnet
(CP3N Only)
The CP3N has a dedicated Control Subnet used for communication
between the control system and Crestron Ethernet devices without
interference from other traffic on the network.
NOTE: Do not connect the CONTROL SUBNET port to the LAN. The
CONTROL SUBNET port must only be connected to Crestron
Ethernet devices.
For more information on using the Control Subnet, refer to the 3-Series
Control System Reference Guide (Doc. 7150) at
www.crestron.com/manuals.
