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) is
password-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.

8 Pelco 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.

VIDEO SOURCES

The CM6800 offers 48 full-function video inputs which support Coaxitron PTZ control and
video loss detection. Forty video inputs, labeled 1 through 40, can be used for looping
video connections with terminating and unterminating switches on the back panel. The
eight alternate source inputs, labeled 41 through 48, are terminated inputs. They do not
have loop-through connectors or selectable termination switches, but otherwise they offer
the same functionality as video inputs 1 through 40.

All 48 video inputs also provide the ability to view and interface with other devices, such as
Genex multiplexers. If control of the device connected to the video input is required,
connect a data cable between the multiplexer and the CM6800. Refer to the

Genex Multiplexers

ALARMS

Alarms

Installation:

The CM6800 provides numerous alarm handling options. Refer to the
for a detailed description.

1. Connect wires from the sensors to the respective alarm input points on the connectors
at the back of the CM6800. Each sensor requires two wires – one wire to the alarm
input terminal and a return wire to one of the ground terminals on the connector. The
CM6800 supports eight internal alarms.

Alarm sensors can be either N.O. (normally open) or N.C. (normally closed) contacts.
The CM6800 is set to N.O. as a factory default.

2. If your system requires more than eight alarms, connect an ALM2064 unit to the
system. Refer to the

M Devices

section.

KBD100, KBD200, and KBD300: Remote Keyboards

Use COM 5, 6, 7, or 8 for remote keyboard connections. Each port can support up to eight
KBD100/200/300 Series keyboards. Do not exceed a total capacity of 16 keyboards
connected to the CM6800.

If using COM 7 or 8, you will need to change the settings (the default setting is for an ASCII
device.) Refer to the

1. Select a suitable location for each keyboard and wall block. Wall blocks must be within
6 feet (1.8 m) of a suitable electrical outlet. Do not mount the wall blocks yet.

2. Connect each keyboard to a wall block, using the keyboard data cable supplied with
the keyboard.

3. Remove the wall block covers and wire the connections between each wall block.
Connect to a final wall block (which will be connected to the CM6800).

Communication to the keyboards is RS-485. Pelco recommends using four-conductor,
shielded 18-gauge twisted pairs, such as Belden 9418 or similar cable, that meets or
exceeds the basic requirements for EIA RS-485 applications.

4. At each wall block, wire the KBDKIT(-X) transformer to pins 3 and 4. Polarity is
unimportant.

5. Replace the cover on the wall block. Secure the wall block to a suitable surface. A
double-sided sticky pad is provided to mount the wall block.

6. Set the address switches for each keyboard according to Table D.

7. Connect the final wall block to COM 5, 6, 7, or 8 on the CM6800, using a straight data
cable (supplied with the CM6800).

M DEVICES

M protocol devices (KBD960/KBR960 keyboards, ALM2064 Alarm Interface Units, and
REL2064 Relay Interface Units) can be connected to COM 3 on the CM6800.

If only one device is to be connected to COM 3, use the instructions for that device in the
following sections.

NOTE:

If you wish to use
the partitioning and priority
features of the CM6800, you
must number KBD960/
KBR960 keyboards within a
range of 1-8.

If more than one device is to be connected to COM 3, refer to the

Multiple M Devices

section.
Connect M devices to the CM6800 with straight cables. Four straight cables and one

reversed cable are supplied with the CM6800 (save the reversed cable for connecting a
Genex Multiplexer, if applicable).

M Devices Addressing

Each M device connected to the CM6800 must have a unique local address within a range
of 1-16. Use the hardware DIP switches to set the appropriate ALM2064 and REL2064
local addresses. Specify the appropriate KBD960/KBR960 local address through the
keyboard Setup Mode after you complete the system installation (refer to the

Up

section).

For use with the CM6800, Pelco recommends numbering M devices in a sequential order.
In a sample application, with two of each M device, you might assign local addresses as
follows:

M device local addresses: Default Recommended for CM6800
KBD960/KBR960: 1 1, 2

REL2064: 1 3, 4
