IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND WARNINGS

Prior to installation and use of this product, the following WARNINGS should be observed.

1. Installation and servicing should only be done by qualified service personnel and con­form to all local codes.

2. Unless the unit is specifically marked as a NEMA Type 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X ,6 or 6P enclo­sure, it is designed for indoor use only and it must not be installed where exposed to
rain and moisture.

3. Only use replacement parts recommended by Pelco.

4. After replacement/repair of this unit’s electrical components, conduct a resistance
measurement between line and exposed parts to verify the exposed parts have not
been connected to line circuitry.

5. The installation method and materials should be capable to supporting four times the
weight of the enclosure, pan/tilt, camera and lens combination.

The product and/or manual may bear the following marks:

This symbol indicates that dangerous volt­age constituting a risk of electric shock is
present within this unit.

This symbol indicates that there are impor­tant operating and maintenance instructions
in the literature accompanying this unit.

Please thoroughly familiarize yourself with the information in this manual prior to installation
and operation.

CAUTION:

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

DESCRIPTION

NOTE:

Currently the
VCRC-P supports the fol­lowing make and model of
VCR:

• Pelco TLR2096 96-hour

time-lapse recorder.

The CM9760-VCRC-P is another optional accessory of the System 9760®. The VCRC-P
gives security and surveillance operators the ability to automatically or manually control ap­propriate VCRs from the 9760 matrix system. It is designed to remotely control seven basic
VCR functions (on Pelco’s TLR2096) using resistive ladder remote control.

Some of the more important features of the VCRC-P unit are as follows:

• Each unit can handle up to 64 VCRs.

• Each unit controls seven VCR functions: play, stop, fast forward, reverse, pause, record
and eject.

• Up to 39 units can be chained together giving a total of up to 2,496 VCRs that can be
controlled from a single Sercom port on the CM9760-CC1.

• There is one relay output per unit.

• The unit is powered by an auto-ranging power supply.

• Unique, one rack-unit chassis (1.75 inches or 4.45 cm) accommodates multiple types
of mounting.

• Transparent system software operates with the CM9760-IRC, the CM9760-VCRC, the
CM9760-VCRC-P, as w ell as the CM9760-REL.

MODELS

CM9760-VCRC-P VCR control unit capable of controlling 64 VCRs per unit. VCR

control is specific to Pelco TLR2096.

OPTIONS

CM9760-VCRC-PTX A 50-foot (15.2 m) VCR control cable with 1/8-inch jack on one

end (for connecting to VCR) and cord/shield (signal/ground) bare
wires at the opposite end for connection to input mating plugs lo­cated on rear of VCRC-P.

PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION

FRONT VIEW

Figure 1 illustrates the front view of the unit. Power and data LEDs occupy opposite ends of
the front panel. The power LED on the left is green and the data LED on the right is red. All
other connectors, switches, inputs and outputs are on the rear of the unit except for two
DIP switches and a reset switch located behind the front panel cover plate.

The DIP switches can be easily accessed by removing the five flat-head Phillips screws that
hold the front panel in place as illustrated in Figure 2.

DIP SWITCHES

With the front panel removed, DIP switch 1 and DIP switch 2 are visible. These two
ten-position DIP switches configure and define many functions of the CM9760-VCRC-P.

Figure 3 identifies the relative locations of DIP switches 1 and 2.
DIP switch functions are discussed in the

Setup

section.

LEDs

The green POWER LED located on the left front panel of the unit comes ON at power up.
The red DATA LED located on the right side of the front panel continually flashes on and off

at a regular rate (about 1/2 second intervals) until the first valid command is received. The
LED will not flash again until another valid command is received. Also, in cascaded situa­tions, if a command is meant for a VCRC-P further down the chain, the command will be re­layed down the chain and the LED will not come on until the appropriate VCRC-P processes
the command. In other words, LED activity is address specific. Additionally, if power is
cycled, or if the DIP switch slide positions are moved, or if a front panel reset occurs, then
the LED will again flash intermittently until the first valid command is received.

REAR VIEW

The rear of the unit is illustrated in Figure 4. From left to right are the following:

1. The four 16-input blocks of VCR connectors in the form of screw-type connectors with
associated mating plugs (one shown in Block 1) running from the left rear to middle
right of the unit

2. The VCRC-P output relay (one per unit)

3. RS-422 input/output communication connectors (RJ-45 type)

4. One DB-9 type connector for factory use only

5. The grouped input power functions, consisting of input power terminals, a fuse and an
ON/OFF switch
