Description
KEYBOARDS
Up to 16 keyboards from the KBD100/200/300 Series and 2 keyboards from the KBD960/
KBR960 Series can be connected to the CM6800, allowing monitoring stations that share a
common monitor to each have a keyboard. Camera positioning can be programmed and
controlled from the KBD200/300 and KBD960/KBR960 Series keyboards. Keyboard types
can be mixed in a system. Refer to
SEQUENCES, MACROS, PRESETS, PATTERNS, AND ZONES
Special programmed operations include sequences, macros, and camera control, such as
presets, patterns, and zones. All programming (except the scratchpad sequence) ispassword-protected.
A sequence allows operators to see a routine of 72 camera views on any system monitor
over and over again. The sequence can be operated automatically or manually. The order
in which the camera views appear and the time each view remains can be programmed.
The CM6800 also provides a scratchpad sequence, which allows a sequence to be run
from an individual monitor. The scratchpad sequence can be accessed without entering the
password-protected programming menus.
A macro is a sequence of commands or steps. When a macro is run, the steps programmed
into that macro are performed. Macros can be operated automatically or manually. Automatic
operation can be based on specific times or dates.
The following operations are available only with positionable cameras:
A preset allows operators to direct a PTZ (camera positioning system) to move to a
predetermined scene on keyboard command or as a result of an alarm. In addition to
moving the camera, a descriptive title can appear on the screen. The number of
presets available is determined by the camera positioning system. (Presets are not
available with the KBD100 keyboard.)
Associated Equipment
for keyboard descriptions.
With a pattern operators can program a camera positioning system to move around
its viewing area in a repeating pattern. The number and time length of patterns varies
with different positioning systems. (Patterns are not available with the KBD100
keyboard.)
A zone is a user-defined, physical location to which (1) a label is attached and (2) a
camera is associated. When the associated camera is panned through or remains
within this defined zone, the zone label appears on the monitor. (Zones are not
available with the KBD100 keyboard.)
INTERFACE CONTROL
The CM6800 interfaces with the following:
•Coaxitron® standard mode (15-bit) and extended mode (32-bit) protocol receivers
•Pelco’s D and P protocol receivers (RS-422)
•Pelco’s M protocol devices (RS-485)
PARTIONING AND PRIORITY
The CM6800 provides four ways to partition your system:
•Camera to Monitor: Cameras can be assigned to specific monitors for viewing.
•Keyboard to Monitor: Keyboards can be assigned to control specific monitors.
•Camera to Keyboard:
-Viewing: Keyboards can be assigned view-only access to specific cameras (no
PTZ control).
- Control: Keyboards can be assigned PTZ control and viewing access to specific
cameras.
The CM6800 provides eight levels of priority control. Each level defines the ability of a
keyboard to control a camera positioning system and to access programming screens.
8Pelco Manual C1515M-A (11/01)
ALARM INPUTS
The CM6800 can accommodate 136 alarm inputs.
Eight internal alarm inputs are provided on the rear panel of the matrix switcher/controller.
These internal alarm inputs are programmable to associate any camera to any input.
The CM6800 provides numerous alarm handling and display options. For example, alarms
can:
•cause a system monitor display to switch automatically to the camera with the alarm.
•activate patterns or go to presets.
•operate auxiliary outputs.
Also, up to two ALM2064 Alarm Interface Units can be connected to the CM6800. Each
alarm interface unit can handle up to 64 alarms, for a total of 128 external alarms.
AUXILIARY OUTPUTS
Three internal auxiliary outputs are provided on the back of the CM6800. Two are relay
outputs, and one is an open collector (TTL) output. You can also connect up to two
REL2064 Relay Interface Units for a maximum capacity of 128 auxiliaries.
Auxiliary outputs are activated at the keyboard (except KBD100).
POWER, MOUNTING METHODS
The CM6800 operates on 120V or 230V, 50/60 Hz. The case mounts in three rack units
(5.25 inches or 13.34 cm) of vertical space in a universal mount, such as a 19-inch (48.26
cm) equipment bay, or to a wall or tabletop.
CONTINUOUS OPERATING DEVICE
The CM6800 is a self-contained video surveillance system designed specifically for use in
security applications. As such, the CM6800 is intended for continuous duty operation. Once
installed, there are no user or service technician items that require intervention which would
require the system to go off-line or have the power turned off under normal operation.
There are two methods for system programming: direct menu control and indirect control,
using a Windows
®
-based setup program supplied by Pelco. Both of these methods are
noninvasive and do not require the cycling of power in order for storage or execution of new
software settings. The communication ports use standard low voltage interfaces such as
RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485, and all connections and disconnections do not require
rebooting or power cycling. Video connections or changes of termination state do not
require rebooting or power cycling.

LOCAL AUXILIARIES
The CM6800 provides three local auxiliary (AUX) outputs on the rear panel for controlling
VCRs, printers, and other devices. These outputs can be activated directly from a keyboard
by using the F1, F2, and F3 function keys, or they can be activated by an alarm (determined by programming). Both relay contacts and TTL outputs are used.
In addition, you can connect up to two REL2064 Relay Interface Units to the CM6800. Note
that since operation of the three internal auxiliary relays on the CM6800 will also operate
the first three relays on the external unit, the maximum capacity of the system may be
limited to 128 auxiliaries (depending on how you number the external relays). Refer to the
Connecting a Single REL2064 Relay Interface Unit
CONNECTING RELAY CONTACTS – AUX 1 AND 2
AUX 1 and 2 are dry contact relay outputs. Refer to Figure 25 for wiring details. Terminal
connections are provided for both normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) contacts.
Do not exceed the voltage and current ratings for the relay contacts.
You will need to provide an external power source to operate your device. In most cases
you will also need an external current limiting resistor. The formula for calculating the
resistor value is given in Figure 25.

PROGRAMMING THE CM6800
The CM6800 is shipped from the factory with default programming settings. If the defaults
are acceptable, the CM6800 can be operated without any user programming. However, you
may want to program the following basic system settings:
•Time and date
•Camera titles
•PTZ control via hardwire data connections
•Alarm contacts
Alarms must be enabled before they are functional.
•Access/Partitioning
All access is set to YES by factory default.
•Communication ports
If you connect your system as illustrated in the Quick Start Guide, you must
change the settings for Port 7 or 8 in order to connect remote keyboards.
You can further customize your system with a wide range of programming options, such as:
•select the language displayed on programming screens
•establish monitor group sequences
•set monitor display options
•set alarm handling options

ALARM CONTACTS
The CM6800 provides a wide variety of alarm handling and display options. Alarmed
cameras can be displayed on one or several monitors as part of one or several alarm
groups (each monitor can display only one alarm group.) You can also customize the
system to handle alarms in the following ways:
•the order in which alarms are displayed
•automatic or manual acknowledgement of alarms
•activation of auxiliaries by alarms
•automatic activation of presets or patterns
•N.O. or N.C. operation
•priority assignment
Before programming alarm settings, verify that no automated system functions are set to
run, such as a macro that would arm or disarm an alarm. Ensure that system operators do
not arm or disarm any alarms while you are programming the alarm settings. If an alarm is
triggered while you are in the CM6800 programming screens, or while programming a
pattern, preset or zone, the system will exit the on-screen programming function and
display the alarm on the appropriate monitor(s).
When programming an alarm to appear on a specific monitor, verify that the monitor has
access to the camera view triggered by the alarm. Partitioning has priority over alarm
programming, so if an alarm is cued to a monitor that does not have access to the
appropriate cameras, the camera views cannot be monitored.
Alarm Contact Programming Tasks
To configure the CM6800 internal alarm contacts you must access the Alarm Contact
screen to complete the following minimum tasks:
•Enable the alarm contact.
•Specify at least one camera step with a dwell greater than zero for each alarm contact.
•Assign the alarm to at least one alarm group.
Alarm
Programming
The following alarm handling options are set by factory default:
•Acknowledgement type = manual
•Time out = 10 seconds
•Alarm sensor type = N.O. (normally open)
•Priority level = 0
•Alarm group display option = Block Build
To change these defaults, or to configure external alarm contacts, refer to the following
sections for detailed programming instructions.
Alarm Group Display Options
To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned to an alarm group (A-H). Before
programming alarms you may want to determine the alarm display format for each
alarm group. An alarm can include up to eight steps, so eight camera views could
display as a part of each alarm.
A priority alarm appears on system monitors before non-priority alarms, despite the order
specified by the alarm group assignment. In the examples below, all alarms are at the same
priority level. Refer to the PRIORITY description in
Program Internal and External Alarms
.
42Pelco Manual C1515M-A (11/01)
BLOCK BUILD
Alarmed cameras are displayed across a block of alarm monitors in a sequential order. All
steps programmed for the alarm contact appear on the designated monitor.
Example: Eight alarms set to display on monitors 02-07 will appear in the following order:
New alarms display on the lowest monitor number with the fewest alarms cycling.
CHRONOLOGICAL PAIR: D AND Q
The oldest alarm of a specific group is displayed on one designated monitor, while all other
alarms in the group are sequenced on the second designated monitor. All steps programmed for the alarm contact appear on the designated monitor.
Example: Four alarms set to display on monitors 04 and 05 will appear in the following order:
Monitor1 Alarm2 Alarms3 Alarms4 Alarms
04 D1st alarm1st alarm1st alarm1st alarm
05 Q2nd alarm2nd and 3rd2nd, 3rd, and 4th
alarms cyclealarms cycle
You must acknowledge alarms in a chronological pair from the display monitor (D). Then
the next oldest alarm moves to the display monitor and the remaining alarms continue to
cycle through the queue monitor (Q). This format requires you to acknowledge each alarm
in the order in which they occur.
The most recent alarm of a specific group is displayed on one designated monitor, while all
other alarms in the group are sequenced on the second designated monitor. All steps
programmed for the alarm contact appear on the designated monitor.
Example: Four alarms set to display on monitors 06 and 07 will appear in the following order:
Monitor1 Alarm2 Alarms3 Alarms4 Alarms
06 M1st alarm2nd alarm3rd alarm4th alarm
07 L1st alarm1st and 2nd1st, 2nd, and 3rd
alarms cyclealarms cycle
You must acknowledge alarms in a reverse chronological pair from the display monitor (M).
Then the next most recent alarm moves to the display monitor and the remaining alarms
continue to cycle through the queue monitor (L). This format requires you to acknowledge
each alarm in the reverse order from which they occurred.

07 LAlarms 1, 2,Alarms 1Alarm 1
and 3 cycleand 2 cycle
SALVO SWITCHING
Multiple camera views within the alarm contact programming (the “steps”) are displayed
simultaneously as a group across a set of monitors. When a new alarm triggers, all
monitors switch to the new alarm at the same time.
When programming a Salvo Group:
•Program the Salvo Group to display across a number of monitors equal to the
number of steps in the alarm contact(s); for example if the alarm contact has six
steps, set the Salvo Group to display on six monitors. If an alarm contact
contains more steps than monitors defined for the Salvo Group, the additional
steps do not appear on a monitor during the alarm.
•Each alarm contact assigned to the Salvo Group should contain the same
number of steps.
•The Salvo Group switches based on the dwell time entered for the first step in
the alarm contact.
Example: Two alarm contacts with three steps display on three monitors will appear as follows:

PRIORITY CONTROL
The CM6800 provides eight levels of priority control. Each level defines the ability of a
keyboard to control a pan/tilt/zoom (camera positioning system) and to access programming screens.
Priority level applies system wide; a keyboard assigned priority level 2 on COM port 8 has a
higher priority than a keyboard assigned priority level 4 on COM port 5. A higher level
keyboard takes precedence over a lower level keyboard when the keyboards are issuing
control commands.
NOTE:
Y ou can connect
only one ASCII keyboard/device per port on the CM6800
(COM port 1, 2, 4, 7, or 8).
For ASCII keyboards priority
control is based on the entry
for keyboard 1.

ASCII OPERATING COMMANDS
ASCII protocol uses the ASCII character set to transmit and receive commands between a
personal computer (PC) and the CM6800. The commands are readable but are not English.
ASCII commands control the pan and tilt mechanisms (fixed and variable speed), camera
functions, auxiliary relays, and alarms.
The ASCII protocol communicates in a standard asynchronous, byte-oriented protocol that
includes: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit (odd parity), and 1 stop bit. The default
communication rate is 9600 baud.
A lowercase “a” ends each command. The ASCII translator acknowledges accepted
commands and rejected commands with the following responses:
AKacommand accepted
NAacommand rejected or the ASCII translator does not recognize the command
If the command requires a numeric value, enter the number first.
Table I provides examples of ASCII commands. Table J lists all of the commands.

Matrix switcherThis is also known as a cross-point switcher. The cross-
points are actually electronic switches that select any
video input onto any video output at any one time,
preserving the video impedance matching. One video
signal can simultaneously be selected on more than one
output. More than one video input can be selected on one
output, in a sequential switching between inputs (unless
the input is routed through a multiplexer, which allows
more than one input to be viewed on the output monitor at
any one time).
Momentary operationThe auxiliary output operation is activated briefly and then
turns off.

PatternA pattern is a user-defined, viewable camera path with a
definite beginning and end. The pattern can consist of any
standard pan and tilt or lens command. Once defined, the

standard used for data communication; the normal
connection distance is 50 feet (15 m). Pelco uses this
standard for communication from a controller to a PC or
RS-232 network. The Pelco three-wire connection
provides one wire for transmit, one wire for receive, and
one wire for common.
RS-422This is an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) interface
standard. Pelco uses this standard for communication
from a controller to one or more camera receivers (on the
same line); the maximum recommended distance is 4,000
feet (1,219 m).
The four-wire connection provides two wires for transmit
and two wires for receive. Pelco receiver/driver
communication uses only the two transmit wires
(commands are sent from the controller to the receiver
only; the receiver does not “talk” back to the controller).
Pelco keyboard communication uses all four wires.
NOTE:
The electrical communication scheme used by
Pelco is a direct-coupled method, not an AC-coupled
method. Therefore, if the ground potential of the wire at its
two end points is different (other than zero volts), an
additional wire is required as a ground.
