DESCRIPTION

Pelco’s CM6700 is a keyboard-controlled cross-point video matrix switcher/control unit
(SCU) that allows you to route up to sixteen video images to as many as four monitors
while controlling camera positions.

Applications

The CM6700 SCU can be controlled from a local or remote keyboard (refer to Figure 1),
used with a multiplexer to display multiple camera views on a monitor (refer to Figure 2),
and interfaced to a distant keyboard via dial-up telephone circuits through appropriate inter­face equipment (refer to Figure 3). The CM6700 features menu-driven, password-protected
programming. The CM6700 can also be controlled from a personal computer using ASCII
commands.

Keyboards

Camera positioning options can be programmed and controlled from a keyboard. Up to
eight keyboards can be connected to the CM6700 SCU, allowing monitoring stations that
share a common monitor to each have a keyboard. Four different keyboards are available
to use with the CM6700 SCU, each with varying features and different costs. (Keyboard
types can be mixed in a system – See

Sequences, Presets, and Patterns

Special programmed operations include sequences, presets and patterns.

A sequence allows you to see a routine of 16 camera views on your monitor over and
over again. The sequence can be operated automatically or manually. The order in which
the views appear and the time each view remains can be programmed.

A preset allows you to direct a pan/tilt/zoom (camera positioning system) to move to a
certain position on command or as a result of an alarm. In addition to moving the
camera, a descriptive title can appear on the screen. (Presets are not available with the
KBD100 keyboard.)

Associated Equipment

.)

With a pattern you 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.)

Alarm Inputs

Eighteen alarm inputs are provided. These can be programmed to cause the display to
switch automatically to the camera with the alarm and/or to operate one of three auxiliary
outputs. Sixteen of the inputs are associated with individual cameras. Two of the inputs
activate group camera sequences.

Auxiliary Outputs

Three auxiliary outputs are provided. One output is a relay and two are open collector (TTL)
outputs. Auxiliary outputs are activated at the keyboard (except KBD100).

Protocols

The CM6700 works with Pelco’s Coaxitron®‚ D, and P protocol receivers.

Power, Mounting Methods

The CM6700 SCU operates on 120 VAC or 230 VAC, depending on the model. The
compact case mounts in 3-1/2 inches of vertical space in a 19-inch equipment bay or to a
wall or table top.

NOTE:

If D or P protocol
receivers are used, they must
all be the same protocol. D
and P protocol receivers
cannot be mixed on the
SCU’s communication port.
Coaxitron control may be
used for some of your
sources when either D or P
protocol receivers are used.

NOTE:

Unless you have
receivers that are equipped
for bi-directional control, you
will only need to run two
wires (TX+ and TX-) to each
receiver.

1. Connect camera control lines to receivers. If your video sources are all controlled by

Coaxitron, skip this section and go to step 5 . If any of your video sources are using D
or P protocol via RS-422 communications circuits, they will connect at COM 1 on the
back of the SCU, as outlined below.

2. Refer to Figure 10. Connect control lines to COM 1 at the connector on the back of the

b. A star configuration (going to each receiver from a central connecting point) is

sometimes more practical. Your installation will be easier to maintain and trouble­shoot if you make all connections at a distribution block made of barrier terminals
or at a Pelco CM9760-CDU-T distribution panel (refer to Figure 12). The total
length of all control lines combined should not exceed 4,000 feet (1,219 m).

6 CONNECT ALARMS

1. Refer to Figure 14. Alarm inputs 1-16 correspond to video inputs 1-16. If an open door
sensor is connected to alarm input 1, when the sensor is activated the video image
from camera 1 will be displayed on one of the four monitors and the camera will move
to a preset (determined by programming). Alarm sensors can be either N.O. or N.C.
contacts. Connect wires from the sensors to the respective alarm input points on the
connectors at the back of the SCU. Each sensor requires one wire to the alarm input
terminal and a return wire to one of the ground terminals on the connector.

2. Alarm inputs 17 and 18 correspond to group sequences 1 and 2. During a group
sequence four video inputs are sequentially shown on a monitor. Each of the four
monitors can be programmed to show the images from four different video sources.
An alarm sensed at input 17 or 18 causes the respective group sequence to operate.
Connect sensors for these two alarm inputs as described in step 1 above.

7 CONNECT AUXILIARIES

The SCU provides three auxiliary (AUX) outputs for controlling VCRs 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.

a. AUX 1 is a dry contact relay output. Refer to Figure 15 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 15.

b. AUX 2 and 3 are TTL open collector outputs. These outputs provide a path to ground

to control the low voltage trigger inputs on many devices. They can control higher volt­age control inputs via isolation relays. Refer to Figure 16 for wiring details. Do not ex­ceed the voltage and current ratings for the TTL outputs. An external pull-up resistor is
usually necessary. The formula for calculating the resistor value is given in Figure 16.

8 CONNECT COM 2 PORT

NOTE:

If you are using a

PC at COM 2, refer to the

Troubleshooting

section.

You will need to use the COM 2 port if your system includes an ASCII control device, such
as a personal computer or a keyboard that is connected via dial-up lines or fiber optic net­work. The port interface at COM 2 can be either RS-232 or RS-422/485. The DIP switches
should have been set (refer to Figure 6).

a. If you require an RS-232 port interface, connect wires from the RS-232 device to the

COM 2 terminals at the back of the SCU. Refer to Figure 17.

b. If you require an RS-422/485 port interface, connect wires from the RS-422 device to

the COM 2 terminals at the back of the SCU. Refer to Figure 18.

9 CONNECT KEYBOARDS

Pelco offers three keyboard models for use with the CM6700 matrix switcher. Complete in­stallation instructions are provided with each keyboard. The most common connections are
for local and remote keyboards. The procedures for installing local and remote keyboards
are repeated here. Refer to the keyboard manual for the less common ASCII connection
(KBD200A only).

Do the following to install. Refer to Figure 19.

1. Local keyboard. Using the data cable that is supplied with the keyboard, plug one end
into the RJ-45 connector on the rear of the keyboard and plug the other end into the
LOCAL KEYBOARD port on the SCU. Set the keyboard DIP switch for the desired
address for the local keyboard (refer to Table A).

NOTE:

A KBDKIT or
KBDKIT-X is required to
connect remote keyboards.
The KBDKIT consists of two
RJ-45 wall blocks and one
120 VAC to 12 VAC trans­former. The KBDKIT-X is for
230 VAC. Use one wall block
for each keyboard.

CM6700 SCU

LOCAL

KEYBOARD

REMOTE KEYBOARD(S)

If you are not installing any other keyboards, go to the

Programming

section. To install

remote keyboards, complete steps 2-10.

2. 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 block yet.

3. Run wall block interconnect cable (user-supplied) from the SCU to the closest key­board location, and then to the next nearest location, and the next, etc.

Communication to the keyboards is RS-485. Maximum total cable distance for RS-485
communication over 24-gauge wire is 4,000 feet (1,219 m). Pelco recommends using
shielded twisted pairs cable that meets or exceeds the basic requirements for EIA
RS-485 applications.

4. Remove the wall block cover and make cable connections at each wall block.

5. At each wall block, wire the transformer to pins 3 and 4. Polarity is unimportant.

6. 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.

7. Set the address switches for each keyboard according to Table A.

PROGRAMMING

Programming allows you to assign titles for cameras, establish monitor group sequences, enable/disable alarms, establish access
restrictions, set alarm options, set time and date, change password, and set auxiliary options.

Refer to Figure 20. You program the CM6700 with the keyboard and a monitor. During programming, a menu appears on the monitor
screen. Use the sequence and macro keys (KBD100), pan/tilt positioning keys (KBD200A), or the joystick (KBD300A) on your key­board to navigate the menu. The F1 and F2 keys select (toggle) options and scroll through lists. Use the numerical keypad to enter
numerical values.

Programming the CM6700 SCU is described in Table B. Table B is arranged in the general order in which you should program your
SCU, but also allows you to go into the programming mode at any time to change a particular item. If you do not wish to perform a
step (for example, change password), just go to the next step.

If you are familiar with programming the SCU, you can use Figure 20 by itself to quickly locate any program item. Permission is
granted to copy Figure 20 if you wish to post it in a convenient location for quick reference.

OPERATION

ASCII OPERATING COMMANDS

The CM6700 can be operated with a KBD100, KBD200A, or KBD300A keyboard. It can
also be operated from a PC with ASCII operating commands. Refer to your keyboard
manual for keyboard operating instructions.

NOTE:

If you are using a
PC to send ASCII commands
via COM 2, refer to the

Troubleshooting

section.

ASCII protocol uses the ASCII character set to transmit and receive commands between a
personal computer (PC) and the CM6700. The commands are readable but are not English.
They 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 communication
rate is 9600 baud.

A lowercase “a” ends each command. The ASCII translator acknowledges accepted com­mands with “AKa” and rejected commands with “NA”, the command that was rejected, and
a lowercase “a”. If it does not recognize the command, it sends “NAa”. If the command
requires a numeric value, enter the number first. Table C gives examples of ASCII com­mands. Table D lists all of the commands.

Starts the selected sequence going forward (incrementing camera

numbers) by pressing and holding the NEXT key for two seconds.

Starts the selected sequence going backward (decrementing camera

numbers) by pressing and holding the PREV key for two seconds.

Places the running sequence on hold, freezing the currently selected

camera on the monitor. It lets you control the camera or switch. The

sequence is still “armed” on the monitor, but inactive.

Moves the currently selected pan and tilt device left or right at the speed

indicated. If you omit the speed, some devices move at their default

speed and others move at their slowest possible speed. Speed

information has no effect on fixed speed devices.

Moves the currently selected pan and tilt device up or down at the speed

indicated. If you omit the speed, some devices move at their default

speed and others move at their slowest possible speed. Speed

information has no effect on fixed speed devices.

Makes the currently selected camera zoom in (close up view) or zoom

out (wide view).

Changes the good focus range nearer or farther on the currently

selected camera.

Opens (brighter image) or closes (darker image) the iris on the currently

selected camera.

Stops all image motion (stops pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris). Does not

stop a pattern.

On receivers that do patterns, these commands let you record your

TROUBLESHOOTING

GAINING INITIAL CONTROL

If you are having problems gaining control of your system for the first time:

1. Confirm that everything is plugged in and has power.

2. Confirm that multiple keyboards have different DIP switch addresses. See the

Settings

section.

3. Confirm that keyboard interconnect cable is wired correctly. See installation step 9 –

Connect Keyboards

.

4. Be sure data cables have not been mixed up. See Figure 19.

5. Cycle (unplug and then plug in again) the data cable to the keyboard.

6. WAIT AT LEAST FIVE SECONDS.

7. Select a monitor.

If you still cannot gain control of the system:

1. Confirm the wiring is correct and the user-supplied cable between wall jacks is appropri­ate for the application.

2. Confirm that when the keyboard data cable is cycled, the keyboard LED flashes
momentarily (indicating power).

If you still cannot gain control of the system, call Pelco’s 24-hour technical support at
1-800-289-9100 or 1-559-292-1981.

USING A PC TO SEND ASCII COMMANDS VIA COM 2

The CM6700 will ignore ASCII commands issued to the COM 2 port from an external
device (such as a PC) if (1) the commands are issued manually from a PC, AND (2) a sys­tem keyboard is connected to the local keyboard port. The CM6700 will respond with the
acknowledgement string (AK or NA), but it will not execute the commands. Under these
conditions the CM6700 will execute the ASCII commands if they are issued as strings from
a text file or programmed function key. The problem exists only if keying the characters in
manually.

Switch

Solution:
Disconnect any system keyboard from the CM6700 if you are manually keying in ASCII
commands from a PC, or 2) do not key ASCII characters in manually. Write command
strings to text files and send the file. If using Terminal in Windows 3.1, program the function
keys with complete command strings.

PERFORMING A SOFTWARE RESET

CAUTION:

Resetting the

software restores
the system to default
settings.

All program-

ming is lost.

Pelco Manual C523M-H (6/05) 39
