ITI CS-4000: The most unique central station receiver

First off, watch your ears when the buzzer in the receiver goes off, its kinda loud.
Otherwise, this is the CS-4000 central station receiver manufactured by Interactive Technologies Inc. I think it is a rather interesting piece of equipment, considering it's unique user interface. I primarily got this one rather than a more featureful one because I thought it was pretty interesting, and once I read the manual, I knew it would be a good choice. Mine has the latest software installed (6.1.1) and was last in service I believe in 2008. I got it from Norb at Obsolete Radionics Co. I'll put a link to his site below. Eventually once I get around to fixing the rest of this receiver, I will release a more in-depth demonstration of it and all its features. It supports a lot of useful functions that will be pretty interesting to demonstrate. But for now, this video is a reasonable quick demonstration of its general operation.

NEVER pull the fire alarm unless it is an actual emergency or you are approved to do so by a technician. I am NOT responsible for your actions. Also, DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO IF YOU HAVE EPILEPSY, we don't want you having a seizure!
(All my alarm tests are my private collection and tested under a controlled environment where the police and/or fire departments are not called automatically unless stated otherwise.)
FST, when used, stands for Fire System Test.

I worked in Test and Design engineering for ITI 1995-2000, working an the "learn mode" wireless transmitters and the Concord Express and used these for testing. Haven't seen a CS4000 for decades! Good memories...

I used to work on a ton of ITI SX-IV, SX-V, and Caretaker panels many years ago. We had one of these in our central station along with some of your other Radionics gear. I knew these inside and out practically at one point. Fun times…

Glad I could bring back memories for you, they're hard to find, but there's still SX-V systems in use out there. Don't think the company I work for monitors any, but we definitely have a few accounts still using 3x1 pulse format, its amazing how much old stuff is still around.

Very cool! We had an SX-V panel years ago; very first alarm system we had installed at my parents’ house. Indeed, I remember the panel had a “supervisory” LED if a zone had trouble. A local monitoring company took the panel over by installing a secondary Radionics D4112 connected to the bell output. They weren’t able to program it at all, as they were a strictly Radionics outfit. Later on, we upgraded to a D7212 hardwired system. For the time period, the SX-V was a very capable wireless system when wireless technology was not really a thing anybody in the industry seemed to take seriously. I am pretty sure that there are still a couple of sensors at my mom’s house, along with a smoke detector from the SX-V that was left up for its ability to annunciate independently from the panel and sirens. The siren was a WIS, iirc, “wireless interior siren” that screwed into an outlet and had a backup 9V battery. That thing had 2 piezo screamers and it was LOUD! Ahhh, good times. Thanks for the walk down memory lane :)

I'm glad to be a part of the history of that receiver :-P

@KJ7BZC 2 года назад

Yes, you've basically seen it from when I first got it to now

@nm4fsv684 2 года назад

That’s a neat receiver!

@KJ7BZC 2 года назад

Indeed

@tr.firesecurity9929 Год назад

can you make a vid of how to hook it up and program it

@KJ7BZC Год назад

I may eventually show it's programming, but setting one up is quite simple. Just a matter of connecting a IEC power cable and plugging in phone lines to the jacks.

@tr.firesecurity9929 Год назад

@@KJ7BZC a line from the panel to the receiver?

@KJ7BZC Год назад

It needs to be connected to a telephone system, the panel calls the number for the line that the receiver is connected to.
