Crestron CP4-R User manual

The Crestron® CP4-R 4-Series control system provides a secure,
high-performance, rack-mountable control processor with an embedded
Crestron Home™ OS operating system. The CP4-R is designed exclusively
to function as the core of a Crestron Home automation system, and
features enhanced processing power to handle larger home automation,
home theater, multiroom video, and MDU (multidwelling unit)
applications.

Install the Device
The CP4-R may be mounted into a rack or placed onto a flat surface.
Rack Mounting
The CP4-Roccupies 1Uof rack space.
1. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the six required screws from
the CP4-R assembly (shown in the illustration below).
2. Attach the two included rack ears with the removed screws.
3. Mount the CP4-R into the rack with four mounting screws (not
included).
Surface Placement
1. Attach the four adhesive rubber feet near the corners on the underside
of the CP4-R.
2. Place theCP4-Ronto a flat surface or stack with other equipment.

Connect the Device
Make all necessary connections to the CP4-R as shown below.
NOTE:Ensure that the included SD card is seated fully in the MEMORY
slot prior to powering on the CP4-R.
Observe the following when connecting the CP4-R:
lUse Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
lThe CP4-R may be powered with the included 24 VDC power supply or
via Cresnet® network power with the NET port.
lConnect the chassis ground lug to a known earth ground circuit (such
as building steel) to ensure that the CP4-R is grounded properly.
lApply power after all connections have been made.

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 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.

Install IREmitters (Optional)
The CP4-R ships with four IR emitters, which adhere to the IR sensor
window of a display, optical disc player, or any other IR-controlled device.
Each IR emitter has a 2-pin terminal block that connects to the
IR-SERIAL port on the CP4-R, providing a one-way IR control interface
to the connected device.
NOTE:The white-traced wire on the IR emitter is positive and connects
to one of the IR - SERIAL port pins labeled “S.”
Position theIREmitter
The IR emitter works best for most devices when positioned directly over
the device IR sensor. However, operation is more consistent for some
devices when the IR emitter is offset one or two inches from the device IR
sensor.
To position the IR emitter, send commands from the CP4-R while moving
the IR emitter around the front panel of the device. When operation is
consistent and reliable, attach the IR emitter using the procedure
described in Attach the IREmitter.
Attach the IRMask
Attach the IR mask (packaged with the IR emitter) when two or more
identical devices are being controlled using IR. The IR mask prevents stray
IR output from controlling another device accidentally.
Place the IRmask over the IR emitter shell as shown in the following
illustration. Do not remove the clear adhesive strips from the IR emitter
shell or the IR mask.

Attach the IREmitter
1. Peel off the clear adhesive strip on the back of the IR emitter shell and
the IR mask (if attached).
2. Affix the IR emitter by pressing it firmly to the desired location on the
front panel of the controlled device.
If the IR emitter must be removed and repositioned for any reason, it may
be necessary to replace the adhesive on the IR emitter with a new piece of
two-sided tape.
NOTE: The IR emitter is a pure infrared emitter that does not emit any
visible light. To test that the IR emitter is working properly, trigger an
IR command from the CP4-R. Then, use a digital camera device (such
as a smart phone) to record a video of the IR emitter while it is being
triggered. If the IR signal is visible in the video during playback, the IR
emitter is working properly.
Pair with Apple HomeKit
The CP4-R can be paired with Apple® HomeKit® technology to enable
communication between the Crestron Home system and Apple HomeKit
devices and accessories.
For pairing instructions and to locate the unique QRcode required for
pairing, refer to the CP4-RCompliance document (Doc. 8547)that
shipped with your CP4-R.

Set Up Crestron Home
Set up the Crestron Home system after all of the Crestron Home devices
and the CP4-R have been installed and connected to the local network.
Once the Crestron Home Setup app is downloaded and installed, system
setup takes place entirely through the app.
NOTE: Ensure that the iPad device, personal computer, and the CP4-R
are placed on the same subnet prior to setup.
To access the setup screens, tap the Crestron Home Setup app icon
on the iPad device home screen. The Crestron Home Setup app connects
to the CP4-Rand a splash screen is displayed.
For detailed instructions on how to set up the Crestron Home system,
refer to the Crestron Home OS3 Product Manual (Doc. 8525) at
www.crestron.com/manuals.
Device Security
The CP4-Ris secured by factory default. The default username is “admin”
and the default password is the serial number of the CP4-R
(case-sensitive). These credentials are required to connect to the CP4-R
using Crestron Toolbox™ software, XPanel, or the Crestron Home app.
The default credentials can be changed using the Crestron Home Setup
app. For more information, refer to the Crestron Home OS3 Product
Manual (Doc. 8525).
