OPERATORS MANUAL CP 64

COMMERCIAL PROCESSOR

QUICK START

If you were the type that cheated on school book reports by just skimming through the reading assignments, then this

section is for you! It gives you not quite enough information to really know what you’re doing. But, if you follow the

recommended set up procedure, you should get at least a “B.”

Keep the amplifiers and the CP 64 turned off until all connections are made.

INTERNAL SETTINGS: Access to the following internal controls requires removal of the top cover. All internal

settings should be complete before you install the CP 64. The factory default settings work for many applications. How-

ever, you may need to change one or more for your system. See the INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS description on page

Manual-8 for more details

• Each Page Input has a 15 volt Phantom Power switch. The default is off.

• The Page Priority switch assigns priority override to Page 1, Page 2 or NO (none). The default is Page 1. If a Page has

priority, it overrides the non-priority Page in the Zone(s) it is assigned. The NO priority setting allows the Pagers to mix.

• Each Page Input may sum with the Program Pre- or Post-VCA. When set to Pre-VCA, Zone Level, EQ and Limiter

circuits act upon the Page. When summed Post-VCA, the Page is not influenced by Zone Level, EQ or Limiter circuits.

The default is Pre-VCA.

• The Zone 1 Stereo/Mono switch default is Stereo.

• There are two internal trim controls for the Program Priority detector. The Program Priority Threshold trim has a range

of -∞ to -35 dBu with a default of -50 dBu. The Program Priority Release Time has a range of 2 to 20 seconds. The

default is 12 seconds.

PAGE INPUTS: Connect Page Inputs to the Euroblock on the rear panel and select the appropriate MIC or LINE

switch position for each. First, set the gain with the Page TRIM control, then set the Page DETECT THRESHOLD and

finally the Page Zone LEVEL.

PR 2 REMOTE: If you use the optional PR 2 remote (sold separately), wire it to the rear RMT ZONE ASSIGN

Euroblock as indicated. If you require remote control but do not wish to use a PR 2, any simple switch closure to GND will

work. These inputs are also TTL compatible (0 to 5 VDC). See wiring details on pages Manual 9-10.

PROGRAM INPUTS: Connect Program sources to the RCA PROGRAM INPUTS (L1, L2, L3 & P.) If you have a

priority program, like a jukebox, connect it to the PRIORITY Input. The Program PRIORITY ASSIGN switch assigns

priority override to Off, Zone 1, Zone 2, or Both. In the Zone(s) that it is assigned, the priority program is automatically

selected when signal is detected.

EXPAND OUTPUTS: Wire the EXPAND OUTPUT Euroblock for each Zone as required. These are cross-coupled

line drivers and may be used balanced or unbalanced. Each Expand Output can be Page-only, Program-only or Zone

signal. The Zone source will not include the Page if the Page is summed Post-VCA. Page is always available from the Page

source.

ZONE OUTPUTS: Wire the two ZONE OUT Euroblocks as required. These are cross-coupled line drivers and may

be used balanced or unbalanced. Set the LIMIT threshold as required.

ZR 1 REMOTE: You may use one or two ZR 1 Remotes with each CP 64. If you use the optional ZR 1 remote (sold

separately), wire it to the rear REMOTES Euroblock as indicated. If a ZR 1 remote is not used, any simple switch closure

to GND will work for the D0 and D1 pins. These pins are TTL compatible (0 to 5 VDC). The logic is inverse Gray Code.

Any ground referenced 5 volt DC control may be used as the input to V

or V

. Do not ground the Vr

or Vr

pins. See

wiring details on pages Manual 9-10.

The CP 64 is very versatile. While this makes a large number of system applications possible, it also results in complex-

ity. For this reason, it is important to use an organized approach for setup and calibration. A highly recommended setup

procedure appears on page Manual-11. By following it you will encounter fewer problems and reduce the need to increase

our collective phone bills.

WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts.

CP 64 FRONT PANEL 햲 PAGING ZONE ASSIGN switches select the zone(s) a Page signal is sent to. The RMT position activates the rear panel RMT ZONE ASSIGN port, allowing the optional PR 2 wired remote to assign the active page Zone(s). 햳 ACTIVE indicators light when a Page input signal reaches the Page Detect Threshold. Note that a Page is always Active when its Page Detect Threshold is set to minimum. 햴 ZONE 1 AND ZONE 2 PAGING LEVEL controls adjust the Paging Level in each Zone.

CP 64 REAR PANEL 햲 CHASSIS GROUND SCREW provides a convenient earth (technical) ground connection point. The CP 64 does not ground the chassis through the power cord. It is important that the unit be grounded. 햳 POWER jack accepts the cable from a Rane RS 1 remote power supply (included) or an available Rane RAP 10 power supply. This is not a telephone jack. Use of a supply not approved by Rane may damage your unit and void the warranty.

SYSTEM APPLICATIONS The following applications outline four unique system configurations. It is not practical to show every possibility, but the following examples may provide some ideas for your own applications.

This allows the telephone paging system to page Zone 1, Zone 2 or BOTH. The setting of the internal Page Priority switch does not matter. • Set the internal Zone 1 and Zone 2 Page switches to Post-VCA.

INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS There are a number of controls inside the CP 64 used to configure the system for specific applications. Access to these controls is only required during initial system setup. Set up all internal controls before the CP 64 is installed in a rack or wired into a system. Make sure the power is off before removing the top cover to gain access. Refer to the diagram below for control locations.

LEVEL control. Note the following: • Zone Level, EQ and Limiter circuits do not affect Page signals summed Post-VCA. • Zone Level, EQ and Limiter circuits do affect Page signals summed Pre-VCA. • Page signals are not available on the Expand Zone output when summed Post-VCA. • Page signals are always available for the Expand Page output.

REMOTE MOUNTING The ZR 1 and PR 2 remote assemblies mount in a standard U.S. electrical box with a minimum depth of 2.25". Be sure to note the wire color of each input in order to facilitate correct wiring to the CP 64. Connect each wire to the 5-pin connector by fully inserting it in the correct socket and tightening the screw. Make sure wires are free of nicks and that the cable jacket is stripped back sufficiently to allow it to lie in the electrical box with the remote assembly inserted.

RECOMMENDED CALIBRATION PROCEDURE The CP 64 is a very versatile instrument. While this allows it to conform to the requirements of a large number of system applications, it also results in complexity. For this reason, it is very important to use an organized approach to system calibration. Once the internal switches are set and the system is connected, take the time for proper calibration.
PAGE 12
…CP 64 Calibration (continued) 1. Connect the Power Supply and verify the PWR indicator lights. 2. Verify Zone Level controls are set to Maximum and that you have an active source for each of the Program Inputs you intend to use. Select each Program Input and adjust its Input Level control to be the very loudest you would ever desire. 3. Adjust the rear panel Zone Limit thresholds so that they just start to audibly reduce the output level.
