can be secured to a flush mount 4” gang box if desired using the 4 holes in
the back box. WARNING: Make sure A/C supply is turned OFF prior to
proceeding with A/C connection. The required supply to the TR-12V-2A
primary is 120 VAC 60Hz 2 Amps. Follow all applicable electrical codes.
Install conduit from the WRA-3 to a Honeywell model 4165 transformer
enclosure attached to a 120Vac unswitched outlet located in the same room
(Figure 1). Follow the instructions provided with the transformer enclosure.
Run a two conductor wire from the TR-12V-2A secondary screw terminals to
the terminal block J23 on the WRA-3 board. Place the anti tamper washer
over the small end of the antenna then screw the OM-1 omni antenna to the
SMA1 antenna connector making sure the washer is on the inside of the front
cover lip. Do not over tighten the antenna. Place the CP-3000A(DA) in
enrollment mode then plug in the transformer and connect the backup battery
to the BT1 connector on the WRA-3. Close and lock the cover making sure
the anti tamper washer is inside the enclosure. The annunciator leds will light,
sounder will beep and the lcd display will indicate initialization. Within one
minute the annunciator should enroll and exit initialization. If the annunciator
doesn’t enroll within 90 seconds a “Not Enrolled” message will be shown on
the lcd.
If you see this message:
1. Make sure the annunciator is in reception range of a repeater or the control panel.
2. Confirm the CP-3000A(DA) is in enrollment mode.
3. Clear the annunciator base code as described in the info and maintenance section of this
manual.
After the issue is corrected press the reset button on the annunciator board to start the initialization
routine again.
After the annunciator is enrolled it will transmit a power up reset trouble to the CP-3000A(DA). This is
expected on power up and does not indicate trouble with the annunciator. A checksum trouble will
also be present on the
CP-3000A(DA) and annunciator. The checksum trouble can only be cleared by programming the
annunciator with the installation site data. Refer to the programming section of this manual and the
CP-3000A(DA) manual.
3.4 The Backup Battery
The annunciator uses a 3.7Vdc 3Ah (CWSI p/n BA-3.7V-3AH) lithium ion battery for backup power in
the event of primary A/C power failure. The battery will supply a minimum of 24 hours of standby
operation followed by 5 minutes of alarm. The battery plugs into the BT1 connector (figure 3). The
battery is periodically tested under load. A low battery trouble will be transmitted to the CP3000A(DA) every 90 seconds if the battery is low or disconnected. If the battery is low or bad the low
battery trouble will keep reporting until it is charged or replaced with a charged battery.

5.4 Trouble signals
This section contains a list of trouble signals that can be transmitted by the annunciator. Possible
causes are given to help the technician quickly solve the issue. The annunciator is continuously
monitored for proper operation. If a problem arises then a trouble signal will be sent to the control
panel within 200 seconds indicating the trouble condition. The trouble will be retransmitted every 200
seconds until the problem is resolved. Only an A/C loss trouble is self restoring. All other troubles will
have to be reset at the CP-3000A(DA) and will not self restore.
1. Checksum Bad - Caused by a mismatch of programming information between the CP3000A(DA) and the annunciator. Will also be displayed while an sd card remains in the WRA-3
sd card slot. Program the annunciator. Refer to the programming section of this manual.
2. Test Failure – Displayed by the CP-3000A(DA) when an annunciator polling transmission is
not received within 200 seconds. Possible causes are a missing antenna, break in annunciator
network communications or component failure in the annunciator. Check the annunciator for
proper communication with the network.
3. Hardware Fault – Caused by a fault with the internal circuitry of the annunciator. The
annunciator will require factory service.
4. Tamper – Caused by opening the front cover of the annunciator or removal from its mounting
position. Make sure the case is closed and the unit is in the correct mounting position.
5. Charger Failure – Caused by problem in battery charging circuit. Factory service is required.
6. Low Battery – Caused by battery voltage being too low or battery failing to pass load test.
Charge or change the battery.
7. Power Loss – Caused by low or no A/C voltage present at the J23 terminal block. Check for
proper A/C supply into and from the TR-12V-2A.
8. Power Up Reset - Caused when the annunciator processor resets its program. This signal is
normal the first time the annunciator is powered up. It should not reoccur after the annunciator
has power applied. If it does then the unit requires factory service.

Section 6 – Programming
6.1 General
The annunciator must be programmed with information about the installation in order to display
alarms, supervisory and troubles correctly. A checksum trouble indicates the annunciator does not
have the same information as the CP-3000A(DA) it’s enrolled into. The annunciator must be
programmed to clear this trouble condition. Programming is accomplished by downloading installation
information from the CP-3000A(DA) using the WRA-3 programming pc application and uploading it to
the annunciator as explained in this section.
When the annunciator is first enrolled into the CP-3000A(DA) it will display a checksum bad trouble
message because its device and programming information does not match the CP-3000A(D). After
the annunciator is programmed the checksum can be cleared. There are however several installation
changes which will initiate a checksum bad trouble and require the annunciator(s) to be
reprogrammed.
The following changes will cause a checksum trouble and require reprogramming of the
annunciator(s):
1. A change to any of the editable parameters of any device or repeater on the device edit
screen of the CP-3000A(DA). The checksum will occur after saving the change(s).
2. Enrolling or deleting a device, annunciator or repeater on the CP-3000A(DA).
3. Changing the supervisory on/off setting for alarm C on the CP-3000A(DA).
4. Changing the point I.D. of a device. Deleting and enrolling the same device would cause
this.
Note: It is advisable to program the annunciator after the entire installation and zone
programming is complete.
Changing any other programming options on the CP-3000A(DA) will not cause a checksum trouble.
6.2 WRA-3 Software programming tool
The WRA-3 programmer is a Windows PC application (WRA3Programmer-1.0.0.exe) used to
program the WRA-3 with the current installation information. The WRA-3 programming tool is
included in the WRA3-PK programming kit sold separately. The kit includes the software, micro sd
card and usb adapter. The WRA-3 programming tool is compatible with Windows XP 32 bit, Windows
7 32/64 bit and Windows 8 32/64 bit. Double click the installation program and follow the prompts. A
desktop icon will be created.
6.3 Programming the WRA-3
When the programming tool installation is complete double click the WRA-3 Programmer desktop
icon. The first step is to download the installation information from the CP-3000A(DA). Connect a
USB cable from the computer to the CP-3000A(DA). Refer to the CP-3000A(DA) for the connector
location.

then rewrite the file again with the WRA-3 programmer.
3. Error Reading file - Verify the annunciator.bin file is on the SD card. Format the SD card
then rewrite the file again with the WRA-3 programmer. Try a new SD card.
Section 7 – Info and Maintenance
7.1 Menus
The info and maintenance menu provides general annunciator information such as software revision
level, serial number, base code as well as battery and charger voltage. It also has options for clearing
the base code and performing a signal survey. To enter the menu press turn the access key switch to
the access position then hold the ACK/STEP and SIGNAL SILENCE buttons simultaneously for 5
seconds. The WRA-3 will beep and light all of the leds. After entering menu mode the first screen will
show the software rev level of the annunciator. The different menu screens can now be selected by
pressing ACK/STEP button.
The menus are as follows:
1. Network Info – This screen shows the ID (serial number) of the annunciator as well as the
base code of the CP-3000A(DA) it is reporting to.
2. Signal Survey – This menu allows the installer to conduct a signal survey from the
annunciator. Refer to the signal survey section of this manual for instructions on conducting a signal
survey.
3. WRA-3 Voltages – This screen shows the latest voltage reading on the battery and battery
charger. The voltages are as read under load and displayed in millivolts. The readings are updated

every 180 seconds. A battery is considered low when this reading is less than 3200mv and a charger
fault will be trouble will be transmitted if the charger is less than 3700mv. If a charger fault is present
the mv reading will be 0 since the charger will be shut off in the event of a charger fault. A (!) will be
displayed to the right of a voltage reading if that voltage reading is not in range. Sample screens are
shown below. Note: The numbers shown below are examples and may differ from your display.

4. Clear Base Code - This screen allows the user to clear the base code (network code)
assigned to the annunciator when it is enrolled to a CP-3000A(DA). This will allow the annunciator to
be enrolled and used with another CP-3000A(DA). Press the SIGNAL SILENCE when on this screen
to erase the base code. Warning: Do not press the SIGNAL SILENCE button unless you are sure
you want to erase the base code as no additional confirmation will be asked.
The user can exit the menu mode any time or automatically by:
1. 1 minute without any activity.
2. Receipt of an Alarm, Supervisory or trouble signal.
3. Pressing the RESET button.
Section 8 - Signal Survey
8.1 Installation Survey
The test must be performed before and after mounting the annunciator. The signal survey will insure
the annunciator has good communication signal strength with the network. The annunciator must be
enrolled to the CP-3000A(DA) and in communication range of an enrolled AR-3A repeater or the CP3000A(DA). Follow the enrollment procedure in this and the CP-3000A(DA) manual IM-C3KA(DA). A
survey can also be performed with an AR-3A repeater in survey mode. Refer to the AR-3A manual
IM-AR-3A for more information.

After the annunciator is enrolled and communicating with the network select the signal survey screen
in the info and maintenance menu as explained in section seven of this manual. The survey screen
will look as shown below when first viewing it.

Ready
ACK>
The word “ready” indicates the annunciator has communications with the network. If “not ready” is
displayed the annunciator will not perform a survey as it is not in communication with the CP3000A(DA) or an enrolled repeater.
Press the SIGNAL SILENCE button and the annunciator will beep and the following screen will be
displayed.
Signal Survey after first survey
Signal Survey
Linked to I.D. xx
Good survey: xx%
ACK>
Charger: 4205 mv (!)
The Linked to I.D. shows the last two characters of the repeater or CP-3000A(DA) the annunciator is
linked to. The next line shows if the survey is good or bad based on a percentage of signal strength
read during the survey signal communication. A number of 68% or higher will display a “Good
Survey” message and the sounder will beep twice. Anything less than 68% will display a “Bad
Survey” message and the sounder will emit a 2 second continuous tone. Press the SIGNAL SILENCE
button to perform additional surveys. The user should wait 2 seconds after the survey result prior to
conducting the next survey. 5 or more good surveys in a row should be received before accepting the
location as being good to mount the annunciator. If a bad survey is received try moving the
annunciator until 5 good surveys in a row are received. Once an acceptable location is found the
annunciator can be mounted as outlined in the installation section of this manual.
