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 52 turned off until all connections are made.
PAGE INPUT
Connect the PAGING INPUT to the Euroblock on the rear panel. On the front, select the appropriate MIC or LINE
switch position. Then set the gain with the PAGING TRIM control, then set the PAGING DETECT THRESHOLD and
finally the PAGING LEVEL. PHANTOM POWER, HIGH/LOW CUT FILTER and PAGE LEVEL TRACKS
ZONE LEVEL switches are located on the rear panel.
PROGRAM INPUTS
Connect line level program sources to the RCA PROGRAM INPUT jacks (LINE 1, 2, 3 & P). If you have a priority
program, like a jukebox, connect it to the PRIORITY Input. The Program PRIORITY assign switch turns priority
override ON or OFF. The Priority program is automatically selected when signal is detected at its Input. Set the
PROGRAM DETECT THRESHOLD and RELEASE TIME as desired.
ZONE EXPAND
Wire the ZONE EXPAND Output Euroblock as required to a mono feed delivering PAGE-only, PROGRAM-only or
ZONE (both) signal depending on the switch setting. This Output uses a cross-coupled line driver and may be used
balanced or unbalanced. Adjust the ZONE EXPAND LEVEL trim as desired.
ZONE OUTPUT
The ZONE OUTPUT uses a cross-coupled line driver and may be used balanced or unbalanced. Set the front panel
LIMIT THRESHOLD as required. Depress the MONO switch for a mono Zone.
ZR 1 REMOTE
You may use one ZR 1 Remote (sold separately) with the CP 52. Wire it to the ZONE REMOTE 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 Vc. Do not ground the Vr pin.
The CP 52 is very versatile. While this makes a large number of system applications possible, it also results in com-
plexity. For this reason, it is important to use an organized approach for setup and calibration. A highly recommended
setup procedure appears on page Manual-7. By following it you will encounter fewer problems and reduce the need to
increase our collective phone bills.
CAUTION: Never connect anything except an approved Rane Power supply to the thing that looks like a red
telephone jack on the rear of the CP 52. This is an 18 VAC center tapped power input. Consult the Rane factory for a
replacement or substitution.
WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts.
