Introduction of the product

Enforcer Systems CPM products are designed to move beyond passive security by intervening during an intrusion event. Rather than simply detecting and recording an incident, the CPM range is intended to rapidly change the protected environment and force an intruder to stop and retreat.

In modern security environments, a delayed response is often the difference between loss and protection. The CPM system addresses that gap by deploying a dense particulate cloud within seconds, interrupting visibility, movement, and decision-making in the protected area.

This effect is created through the controlled oxidation of a special bio-degradable, food-grade particulate. The resulting cloud is dense, fast acting, and specifically designed to collapse an intruder’s ability to continue operating inside the space.

The emission process is high-speed and normally completes within seconds, making the system suitable for applications where immediate environmental disruption is more effective than post-event evidence collection alone.

CPM (Compressed Particle Module)

More about the product and features

This technology uses compressed food-grade particulate to create a dense airborne barrier. The cloud carries a slight smell and an immediate sensory effect that strongly encourages exit.

The particulate is intended to reduce intruder confidence, disrupt orientation, and rapidly end the event without relying on delayed human intervention.

Security benefits

  • Eliminates visibility in the protected area
  • Deploys extremely quickly across a wide coverage zone
  • Creates an environment that is intolerable to remain in
  • Reduces the opportunity for theft, damage, and coordinated intrusion

Commercial value

  • Recognised by insurance companies in many security-driven markets
  • Low-cost replacement cartridges support practical ongoing maintenance
  • Suitable for layered integration with alarm, PIR, reed, and panic trigger systems

Installation recommendations and tips for CPM

Please observe the following instructions when installing the system.

This product must only be installed by trained professional security technicians.

  1. Do not install the unit where it obstructs escape routes, emergency lighting, or critical wayfinding.
  2. Always verify that CPM activation does not create unacceptable risk for staff, visitors, or occupants.
  3. Do not look directly into the emitter nozzle.
  4. Do not modify or tamper with the CPM unit, cartridges, nozzles, or ignition path.
  5. The emitter nozzle and cartridge may remain hot immediately after activation.
  6. If the CPM triggers, a dense particulate cloud will be produced within seconds.
  7. Upon completion of installation, ensure all required warning labels are applied and the end user is informed of system behavior.
  8. Maintain a minimum 7 ft distance between the emitter nozzle path and nearby people or sensitive obstructions wherever practical.
  9. Do not install the unit at a height or location where it is easily reached, tampered with, or physically obstructed.
  10. It is strongly recommended that all CPM condition zones and supervision states are verified during commissioning.
  11. After installation, confirm the alarm system and CPM interface states are functioning as designed.
  12. Once all aspects of the system have been inspected, place the unit into normal operating mode and test the full chain.
  13. When servicing the product, always switch System Service Mode to the correct state before handling the unit.
  14. Enforcer Systems Australia recommends a documented final inspection at handover.

Description of board input and output

  • INPUT: 12V input from the alarm or security system.
  • ARM: negative trigger used to arm the CPM so it can respond to event logic.
  • PRIM-TRIG: primary negative trigger used once the unit is armed.
  • SEC-TRIG1: final trigger stage, commonly tied to the built-in 360° PIR.
  • ACC: 12V positive and negative supply for supported accessories.
  • SEC-TRIG2: secondary trigger input used in conjunction with SEC-TRIG1 when required.
  • BAT-IN: connection to the security system battery feed.
  • SUB1 / SUB2 / SUB3: outputs for CTG5 onward and connected sub-units.
  • CON: COM and NC dry contact for condition or event reporting.
  • TROUBLE: COM and NC dry contact for open-circuit or fault reporting.
  • SERVICE: COM and NC dry contact used for service state reporting.
  • TAMPER: COM and NC dry contact used for cabinet tamper conditions.
  • CTG1 to CTG4: cartridge activation outputs.
  • 24H SHOT / PANIC: 4-pin instant-shot terminal for dedicated panic activation behavior.

The 24H SHOT feature is intended for an immediate action pathway and should be used only when the site design specifically requires it.

Connection example

CPM MCU PCB wiring schematic

The connection example illustrates a reference wiring arrangement only. Final installation must follow the actual system design, site conditions, and local code requirements.

E100/200/300/400 CPM cabling recommendations

Battery cable (2 core)

Use not less than 18 AWG up to approximately 131 ft total distance, or not less than 15 AWG up to approximately 262 ft total distance.

Battery cable run figures are maximum guidance values. Always verify voltage drop and site conditions before finalizing cable size.

Control wiring

Use 4-core or 6-core security cable, not less than 22 AWG, as suited to trigger, arm, battery, and reporting requirements.

  • Alarm panel outputs and zones should be mapped and labeled clearly before final handover.
  • INPUT, PRIM-TRIG, ARM, and BAT-IN are core operating terminals and must be wired correctly for normal system behavior.
  • BAT-IN should be connected with careful consideration of backup battery integrity and voltage stability.
  • PRIM-TRIG should be driven only by the intended alarm/security output logic.
  • SEC-TRIG1 commonly uses the built-in 360° PIR, while SEC-TRIG2 can be assigned to an additional detector such as a reed or PIR.
  • SUB outputs coordinate downstream cartridges or attached sub-units according to the configured firing sequence.
  • 24H SHOT terminals are reserved for dedicated instant-shot or panic activation scenarios.
08

Status LEDs meaning

System Service Mode ON/OFF (Green LED)

The green LED indicates that the CPM is powered and provides a visual reference for its service-mode state during setup and maintenance.

ACT (Red LED)

The red LED lights momentarily to indicate an activation-related event or trigger sequence within the control logic.

ARMED (Blue LED)

The blue LED lights when the CPM is armed and able to respond to the configured trigger sequence.

SERVICE (Orange LED)

The orange LED indicates that a cartridge or service-related condition requires technician attention.

09

Dip switch selection

By default, all dip switches are in the OFF position.

Dip 1

Off: ARM + PRIM-TRIG + SEC-TRIG1 are required to activate the unit.

On: ARM + PRIM-TRIG + SEC-TRIG1 + SEC-TRIG2 are required.

Dip 2

Off: single trigger on SEC-TRIG inputs.

On: double trigger on SEC-TRIG inputs.

Dip 3

Off: normal firing sequence across CTG1-4.

On: if conditions are met, only CTG1 and CTG2 activate.

Dip 4

Off: no change.

On: if conditions are met, only CTG1 activates first-stage behavior.

Dip 5

Off: no change.

On: the STROBE output is no longer triggered through the default pathway.

Dip 6

Off: single activation behavior when conditions are met.

On: double activation behavior when conditions are met.

10

Cartridge replacement, test and reset

Never replace a cartridge immediately after activation. Allow the unit and emitter components to cool before servicing.

  • When replacing a cartridge, the technician must verify that the system is isolated and correctly placed into service mode.
  • The System Service Mode ON/OFF switch is located under the access panel and must be set appropriately before maintenance.
  • When replacing cartridges, always remove power and confirm the system state before reconnecting any firing path.
  • All CPM condition zones should clear once the replacement and reset process has been completed correctly.

We strongly recommend that safety glasses are worn during cartridge handling, testing, and service operations.

11

Maintenance

  • Maintenance checks should be carried out on the CPM at planned service intervals.
  • During any test or preventative maintenance work, place the unit into service mode before interacting with cartridges or outputs.
  • With the Service Mode switch in the ON position, review the relevant indicators and reporting outputs.
  • With all cartridges removed and service mode engaged, verify output behavior without risking unintended discharge.
  • When testing cartridge outputs, it is critical to follow the documented sequence and supervision checks.
  • On completion, switch Service Mode back to the correct operating position before returning the system to normal use.

We strongly recommend that safety glasses are worn during maintenance and testing procedures.

Max. number of Sub & Filler Units per Master Unit

By fully optimizing the system configuration, overall coverage can be extended while keeping the firing logic controlled and predictable.

  • Maximum number of Sub Units per Master Control Unit depends on the selected master configuration.
  • Maximum number of Filler Units per Master Control Unit depends on cartridge staging and output allocation.

Battery state of charge (SOC)

The CPM is heavily dependent on healthy alarm backup battery capacity. Some important points to remember:

  • Always monitor battery SOC before commissioning or testing.
  • If the backup charging circuit is down or AC supply is compromised, system readiness may be reduced.
  • If the wider alarm/security system is operating from battery for extended periods, re-check the CPM power condition before relying on full deployment performance.
