Installation
2
The Basic Process
The two primary System 8300 installation opera-
tions are “programming” and the physical installa-
tion, You must decide whether to do much of the
programming before the actual installation or
leave it all until after.
During programming you supply considerable
information and instructions to the CCU, to take
advantage of the system’s great flexibility. Chap-
ter 3 covers this process in depth.
For convenience, you can perform all or most of
the programming operations at the dealership
before installation ever begins (you must not make
sensors “active,”
Fn#519, before they are con-
nected; you may wish to delay certain other
programming). This can be done either manually
with a Display Control Keypad, or with the optional
CCUBOSS program and an
IBM compatible MS-
DOS personal computer, and does not require
that the hardware be attached to the CCU.
Once the CCU is programmed, you can remove
AC power and even the battery, as long as you
have provided back-up power for the RAM
(memory) by moving the lithium battery jumper,
J102, on the circuit board to the ON position.
Under a typical load the lithium battery will
maintain the memory for more than 1 year; under
normal AC power or with the jumper off, the life is
as long as 10 years. The programmed informa-
tion will remain in the CCU’s RAM until the CCU is
installed in a system. Changes in the system
configuration can be made at any time using
manual programming (or CCUBOSS) to change
only those items requiring attention.
The following list represents one orderly process
for performing an installation. If this is your first
view of the system and this manual, some of the
terms may be unfamiliar to you; these terms will
be explained in this section and the next, and
may be found in the glossary at the end of the
manual. Your choice of approach may follow the
one below or may be different, depending on
personal preferences, the equipment available,
and the application and installing conditions.
NOTE:
UL installations must be in accordance with the
appropriate commercial or residential require-
ments indicated in Figures 2-4 and 2-5 and its
tables and notes.
