Chapter 1: Introduction to the CB-1000

1.1 CB-1000 Overview

The CB-1000 is a programmable single-gang wall-mount button controller designed to provide
intuitive control over standard AV devices such as projectors, DVD players and audio amplifiers.
By utilizing rubberized tactile push buttons the CB-1000 combines a familiar and flexible
interface with reliability, ease of use, and style. The CB-1000 functions as a stand-alone button
panel with a single IR output, which can be split to control multiple devices, or can be used in
combination with Calypso Pro I/O and ION controllers to add serial, relay or network control for
any number of devices. In addition, the CB-1000 includes two powerful new features: password
protection and a 24 hour IR output

event timer.

The CB-1000 interface can be field-configured with a variety of labeled push buttons. With
features including rotating IR codes, built-in IR learning, a selectable audible click, and
automated cloning, the CB-1000 fits into a wide range of professional control applications. CB­1000 Utility Software is used for setup and cloning, through an on-board 3-pin serial
programming port.

with the CB-1000 Utility Software. Several steps are necessary, however, before you begin
programming the unit with the Java based CB-1000 configuration utility.

1.2.1 Build a Se

rial Programming Cable

Using the 3-pin connector (included), build a serial cable with the 3-pin connector at one end
and a standard 9-pin RS-232 connector at the other end, with the following specifications:

Solder wires to pins 2, 3 and 5 of a female, 9-pin RS-232 connector
Connect the wire on pin 2 (Rx) to the removable connector pin 2 (Tx)
Connect the wire on pin 3 (Tx) to the removable connector pin 1 (Rx)
Connect the wire on pin 5 (Gnd) to the removable connector pin 3 (Gnd)

1.2.2 Connecti

ng Power

Attach one end of + and

power wires to a 2-pin removable connector. Attach the other
end of the wires to pins 1 and 2 of a 4-pin removable connector.
Plug the 4-pin power connector into 4-pin block A on the TB-CW.
Plug the 2-pin power connecto

r into the CB-1000 power receptacle

Plug the 12vdc power supply into the TB-CW.

NOTE: When launched the configuration utility tries to auto-connect to the CB-1000, and if

1.2.4 Install and Run CB-1000 Software

CB-1000 software is provided on the CD that accompanies the CB-1000 button panel and is
also available for download from the Calypso web site, under the Support tab. The soft

ware
is installed as any standard computer with Java installed and which supports the RXTX
native serial Java library. Versions of the RXTX library are provided for Windows and MAC
OS X. After installation:

Insert the CD into your computers drive.
Cre

ate a folder on you computer and place the CB-1000 config Zip file into this folder.
Un-Zip the Zip file and copy all of the files into the newly created folder.
Launch the application named CBconfig.exe. The application automatically detects

active seria

l ports on your computer and initiates communications with the CB-1000. For

this reason,

the CB-1000 should be connected with power applied before launching the

config application.

NOTE: If you are using a

USB-Serial converter be sure to install the requ

ired USB driver onto

your computer. Failure to do so may result in the computer not recognizing the connection.

The CB-1000 will beep to acknowledge communications.
