Introduction
This manual is intended for persons involved with the installation, maintenance and operation
of the CP - 3000 RF control p anel. It is a comprehensive guide that provides details on product
operation and should be kept for future reference. This manual consists of separate sections. Each
section contains information in a manner as to be clear as possible. It is designed to pro vide all the
information necessary to install, program and operate the equipment. Read and understand this
manual prior to installing or operating the equipment. It is imperative that the installer understan d the
requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and be familiar with the standards set forth by
Underwriters Laboratories, NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code, and NFPA 70 National Electrical
Code.
The model CP - 3000 is the first in a series of wireless fire annunciation and control panels
manufactured by CWSI. This system was designed and tested to comply with NFPA 72 National Fire
Alarm Code and UL 864 standard. The CP - 3000 is approved for Local, Proprietary, Remote
Station, Central Station and Auxiliary service when installed in accordance with this manual.
FCC Warning
Important: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equip ment.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Warning - RF Exposure
Important: When using this device, a certain separation distance between antenna and
nearby persons has to be kept to ensure RF exposure compliance. In order to comply
with the RF exposure limits esta blished in the ANSI C95.1 standards, the distance
between the antennas and the user should not be less than [20cm].

Section 1 - Description and Features
1.1 Product Description and Wireless System Overview
The CWSI CP - 3000 is an intelligent addressable wireless fire alarm control panel. The CP - 3000
system provides for annunciatio n of up to 1024 individual addressable initiating devices including and
not limited to, smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations, water flow and sprinkler supervisory
transmitters . It has two on board tr ansceivers that allows all communications with devices to be done
via radio frequency (RF). Since the communications are bi - directional the control panel can send out
control commands to perform functions including turning on or off repeater NAC circuits and tandem
smoke detector sounder activation. The advanced RF protocol and speed of the CP - 3000 allows a
failure of any one of up to 1024 initiating devices to be re ported within 200 seconds. It is field
programmable making the addition of devices both easy and cost effective. Ethernet connection is
provided for local area network connection (LAN) as well as an optional modem that will allow system
information and status to be retrieved at a remote location. An internal piezo sounder provides distinct
tones for alarm, supervisory and trouble signals . The system conta ins a clock and non -volatile
memory that will record and store events by time and date of occurrence. This memory is maintained
even when all power is removed from the system. The CP- 3000 is capable of storing 3000 events as
ou tlined in the memory recall section of this manual. The events can later be viewed in order or
downloaded to a computer via the built in RS - 232 port located in the lower right side of the main
circuit board. The on board RS - 232 port can also be used for site specific programming as well as
down loading system information.
The unit is also compatible with UL Listed Communicators making the CWSI CP - 3000 a complete
installation solution. Th e system is designed with monitoring and emergency personnel in mind. The
LCD display provides easily identifiable pinpoint information displaying the specific initiating device (s)
in alarm , trouble or supervisory condition. A 21 button membrane switch panel is used for system
control and programming . The CP - 3000 notification appliance circuits are field selectable both for 12
or 24 volt DC and Class A or B operation.
The CWSI initiating devices contain microprocessor based transceivers and are battery powered. Bi -
directional repeaters are used to create a cellular network type signaling path to and from the CP -
3000 control panel. Initiating devices transmit both status and alarm information. Repeaters process
the data and retransmit the data through the repeater network to and from devices and the CP - 3000
control panel. All tran smitted signals are verified for data integrity, signal quality and reception
conformation. The CP- 3000 is responsible for reading all incoming transmission data and deciding
what action if any is to be taken such as displaying information , sending commands back to repeaters
to activate Notification appliance circuits, HVAC shutdown, Elevator Recall, Tandem smoke detectors
and many other control functions.
The CP - 3000 control panel has many new and enhanced features unavailable in previou s wireless
systems due to recent technological advances. These features and industry advancements are what
make CWSI the unsurpassed leader in the wireless fire alarm industry.

Section 3 - Installation
3.1 Proper Installation Order
The following steps when performed in the li sted order will result in a trouble
free installation:
1. Site Signal Survey
2. Control Panel Installation and Basic Programming
3. Device and Repeater Enrollment
4. Control Panel Site Specific Programming
5. Repeater and Device installation and testing
3.2 Preparing the Installation Site
Prior to the installation of a CP - 3000 system a signal survey must be been performed by a factory
trained technician or authorized dealer. The signal survey determines the loc ation of the CP - 3000,
repeaters, and initiating device transmitters. Refer to the CWSI Signal Survey manual and individual
CWSI device manuals for the proper method to conduct a signal survey. The completed survey
becomes the blueprint layou t for the actual installation.
During the survey try to locate A/C repeaters and CP -3000 control panel close to available 120 Vac
uninterruptible power. All CP - 3000 connections must be installed in conduit. When connecting
primary A/C power always follow :
1- National Fire and Electrical Codes (NFPA 72 and NFPA 70)
2- Local Electrical and Fire Code requirements
3- Local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) requirements
WARNING: Make sure A/C supply is turned OFF prior to connecting the CP - 3000 panel.
3.3 Receiving and Unpacking the Equipment
Upon receiving the equipment, the carton should be inspected for damage, which may have occurred
during shipment. Each package should be checked against the packing slip for completeness.
Differences shoul d be reported to CWSI immediately. If any product is suspected of damage it should
be checked for proper operation or returned to CWSI.
3.4 Installing the CP-3000
WARNING: This equipment must be professionally installed by factory trained personnel. Use
of an antenna other than listed in the compatibility section of this manual may be harmful to
persons, void FCC or damage the equipment.
After conducting a signal survey the CP- 3000 can be mounted in it’s intended loca tion. The following
should be considered and or adhered to when mounting the unit.
1 – ALL WIRING SHOUL D COMPLY WITH NATIONAL AND/OR LOCAL
ELECTRICAL CODES. UN LESS OTHERWISE SPECI FIED, WIRE SHOULD BE18
GAUGE 7 STRAND COPPE R WITH 600 VOLT INSU L ATION. SHIELDED WIRE IS
