Programming
The CM6800 features easy programming through on-screen menus or the Windows®-based CM6800-MGR software package. All
programming is password-protected. Programming menus are provided in English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese,
Russian, and Spanish.
Keyboards
Up to eight keyboards from the KBD100/200A/300A Series and two keyboards from the KBD960/KBR960 Series can be connected to the
CM6800-32X6. Camera positioning can be programmed and controlled from the KBD200A/300A and KBD960/KBR960 Series keyboards.
Refer to
Associated Equipment
NOTE: You can program the CM6800 with the KBD200A/300A keyboard while in “CM6800 Mode” only (if you use “CM6800 ASCII
Mode,” you can control the CM6800 switcher, but you cannot program it).
for keyboard descriptions.
Sequences, Macros, Presets, Patterns, and Zones
The CM6800 features the following programmed operations:
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.
A scratchpad sequence allows an operator to run a sequence from an individual monitor 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. Macros can also be triggered by alarms.
The following operations are available only with positionable cameras controlled by KBD200A/KBD300A or KBD960/KBR960 keyboards:
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, a preset can place a descriptive title on the monitor screen. The number of presets available is
determined by the camera positioning system.
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.
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.
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)
8C1522M-C (2/05)
System Access and Priority
The CM6800 provides the following ways to restrict system access:
•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 full access (both PTZ control and viewing) 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
(KBD200A/KBD300A or KBD960/KBR960 only) and to access programming screens.
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.
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
Two internal auxiliary outputs are provided on the back of the CM6800-32X6. One is a relay output, and one is an open collector (TTL)
output. You can also connect up to two REL2064 Relay Interface Units.
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 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.

NOTE: The end point of any video cable run must be terminated in 75 ohms.
C1522M-C (2/05)13
CONTROL LINES
You cannot connect a Coaxitron camera to the PTZ port. If your video sources are all controlled by Coaxitron, skip this section.
Connect camera control lines to receivers. If any of your video sources are using D or P protocol via RS-422 communications, they will
connect at the PTZ connector on the back of the CM6800-32X6.
NOTE: D and P protocol receivers cannot be mixed on the same communication port but you can use D on one port and P on the other.
Daisy-chaining (going from one receiver to another) is recommended but not always possible. A maximum of 16 receivers can be daisychained from the PTZ port. If more than 16 receivers are required for your system, or if you do not want to daisy-chain the receiver
connections, use the CM9760-CDU-T. You can connect up to two CM9760-CDU-T units to the CM6800-32X6.
NOTE: After completing system installation and power-up, you must configure the CM6800 and the camera/receiver. Refer to the System
Start-Up section.

ALARMS
The CM6800 provides numerous alarm handling options. Refer to the
Programming
section 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

LOCAL AUXILIARIES
The CM6800-32X6 provides two 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 and F2 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 two internal
auxiliary relays on the CM6800-32X6 will also operate the first two 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
Unit
section for connection instructions.
Connecting Relay Contacts – AUX 1
AUX 1 is a dry contact relay output. Terminal connections are provided for both normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) contacts.
Refer to Figure 23 for wiring details. Note that this figure shows the wiring for a normally open contact. For a normally closed contact,
move the wire from the N.O. terminal to the the N.C. terminal.
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 23.

INITIALIZE KEYBOARDS
Specify a monitor for each keyboard after your first power-up or any time power is cycled to the keyboard or the CM6800.
Always allow five seconds to elapse before specifying a monitor.
1.Enter a number corresponding to the monitor output that is feeding the monitor you are viewing.
2.Press the MON key. The keyboard LED displays the number you entered. This also confirms successful communication between the
keyboard and the CM6800. If the keyboard LED does not display the monitor number, repeat 1 and 2.
CONFIGURE THE SYSTEM
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: by default, each camera is titled “CAM #” (# = camera number).
•Camera video source: Extended Coaxitron protocol receivers can be operated without any programming changes. For other receiver
control protocols, access the Camera programming screen to select the control type for the device connected to each video input.
•Alarms: The CM6800 is shipped from the factory with the alarm contact enable field set to OFF. To use the alarm features, access
the Alarm programming screens to enable the alarm contact.
In addition, some or all of the following configuration steps may be necessary, depending on your system. Configure the CM6800 through
Programming mode. Refer to the
C1522M-C (2/05)31

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
To connect remote keyboards to COM 4 (the alternate connection shown in the Quick Start Guide), change the Port 4 settings.
Pelco provides two options for programming the CM6800 to your specifications:
•Password-protected, on-screen programming screens accessible directly from the Matrix Switcher
•PC-based CM6800-MGR software
Refer to the CM6800-MGR Quick Start Guide for instructions on accessing and using this software to program your system.
NOTE: Pelco strongly recommends uploading your programming settings to the CM6800-MGR to save settings in the event of an
accidental reset.
The CM6800 allows system programming from only one monitor at a time. If programming from the CM6800-MGR is sent to the CM6800
at the same time that you are programming from a monitor screen, the system will exit the on-screen programming function.

ALARM PROGRAMMING
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.)
Before programming alarm settings note the following precautions:
•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 alarm settings.
NOTE: You cannot access the Alarm Contacts screen when an alarm is active. If an alarm is triggered while you are in the CM6800
programming screens, the system will exit the on-screen programming function and display the alarm on the appropriate monitor(s).
Complete the following steps to program alarms:
1.Program 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. Refer to
Program Alarm Groups
.
2.Program the individual alarm contact. Refer to
Program an Internal or External Alarm Contact
.
PROGRAM ALARM GROUPS
Use the Alarm Group screen to configure alarm groups to appear on system monitors. To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned
to an alarm group.

PRIORITY
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 5 has a higher priority than a keyboard assigned priority level
4 on COM port 4. A higher level keyboard takes precedence over a lower level keyboard when the keyboards are issuing control commands.

To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned to an alarm group (A-F). 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
following examples, all alarms are at the same priority level. Refer to the PRIORITY description in
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: Seven alarms set to display on monitors 02-06 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 04 and 05 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.

Salvo Group
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 set to display on three monitors will appear as follows:

ASCII OPERATING COMMANDS
ASCII protocol uses the ASCII character set to transmit and receive commands between an ASCII device (such as a personal computer (PC)
or ASCII keyboard) and the CM6800.
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.

These commands arm and disarm system alarms.
An ASCII device can send these commands through the CM6800 to control
alarms in an external alarm device, such as an ALM2064 Alarm Interface Unit.
NOTE: These commands do not affect internal alarms on the CM6800 rear
panel.
If you configure a CM6800 Port to report alarms to an ASCII device, the CM6800
reports the alarm information using these commands.
NOTE: The CM6800-32X6 reports the physical alarm number. If you use the
eight internal alarm inputs on the rear panel, do not use the first eight inputs on
any external alarm interface units (ALM2064), or you will have a numbering
conflict.
These commands control a Genex multiplexer connected to the CM6800.
Sends a camera title to the matrix switching system. You can only send one
camera title at a time.
Valid characters in the string are A-Z, a-z, space, and 0-9 in ASCII representation. Strings are limited to 20 characters.

a 1 or a 0 (a high or low voltage state).
ByteAn abbreviation for “binary term” – bytes are strings of bits, operated upon as a unit. A byte is equal to
eight bits (256 possibilities) and is large enough to hold one character (like an “A” or the number “1”.)
Camera auxiliarySome cameras contain an auxiliary output relay, which can be used to operate a device connected to
the relay.
CoaxitronThis is Pelco’s “up the coax” control technology. Control signals are sent back up the coaxial cable that
the video signal travels down on.
COM portThis is a communication port input on the rear panel of the matrix switcher.
Daisy-chainThis is a way of providing multiple connections in a series, from one source. A daisy-chain
configuration connects multiple, linked devices from one output. When connecting PTZ cameras to a
matrix switcher, for example, one set of cables connects the matrix switcher to each receiver, and
then each receiver is connected to the next receiver.
DwellThis is the amount of time something happens in the system, such as the amount of time a camera
view displays on a monitor, or an auxiliary is on.
Event timerThe matrix switcher can automatically initiate macros or sequences based on time and date.
Extended CoaxitronThis is Pelco’s Coaxitron control technology that uses 32 bits to send a command.
Frame scanA three-second camera scan followed by a three-second pause.
Latching operationThe auxiliary device remains on until a command is given (by a system operator or system automation)
to turn it off.
Logical camera numberA user-selectable, variable number, which is associated with an actual physical camera input on the
rear panel of the matrix switcher.
MacroA sequence of commands or steps. Macros can be operated automatically or manually. Automatic
operation can be based on specific times or dates (set through the Event Timer).
C1522M-C (2/05)73
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.
Multiplexer (MUX)A multiplexer allows an operator to view more than one video signal (usually either four, nine or
sixteen signals) at one time on a single monitor. A multiplexer can also send these multiple images to
the video recorder, switching rapidly between image from each camera.
NTSCThe American color TV standard, used in North America, Japan, and a few other countries. It specifies
525 lines/screen, and 29-30 frames/sec.
Null modem cableA null modem cable allows you to connect your PC to another nearby PC or serial device by “crossing
over” (reversing) their respective pin contacts. (A null modem cable is limited to 30 feet in length.)
PALThe color TV standard (50Hz) used by European, Asian, and some Latin American countries. It specifies
768 pixels/line, 576 lines/screen and 25 frames/sec.
Parity typeThe parity bit is used to identify whether the bits being moved arrived successfully. Parity bit checking
can be based on odd or even bits. No parity means that a parity bit is not transmitted or checked.
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 pattern is easily activated by
a system operator or through an automated event. The pattern will run continuously until it is
deactivated. The number and time length of patterns varies with different positioning systems.
Physical inputA number representing an actual BNC camera input on the rear panel of the matrix switcher. This
number cannot be changed.
PresetA 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 type of camera positioning system determines the
number of presets available.
Priority controlThis is the level of priority a system keyboard has to control a PTZ camera positioning system and to
PTZThis is a camera positioning system with pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities.
Random scanThis is a camera scan moving in a random pattern.
RJ-45 wall blockThis is a wall block with eight terminals for connecting RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 communication
lines. (This is Pelco part number CON12J00820360Z.)
RS-232This is an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) interface 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.
74C1522M-C (2/05)
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 ACcoupled 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.
RS-485This is an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) interface standard used for communication between
multiple transmitters and receivers; 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.
NOTE: The electrical communication scheme used by Pelco is a direct-coupled method, not an ACcoupled 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.
Scratchpad sequenceA scratchpad sequence can be run on an individual system monitor, without entering the password-
protected CM6800 Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus. You can program scratchpad
sequences from the CM6800 Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus only, not from the
CM6800-MGR software.
SequenceAllows an operator 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.
Standard CoaxitronThis is Pelco’s Coaxitron control technology that uses 15 bits to send a command.
Star configurationThis is a way of providing multiple direct connections from one source. A star configuration uses a
separate cable for each direct connection, with all of the cables connected to a central device. When
connecting PTZ cameras to a matrix switcher, for example, the central device can be a code distribution
unit, such as the CM9760-CDU-T. Each camera has a direct connection to the CM9760-CDU-T, which is
the central device.
SynchronizeSince the CM6800 can be programmed from either the CM6800-MGR software or the CM6800
programming menus, the two programming sources could potentially have different settings. Pelco
recommends that you always synchronize programming changes between the CM6800-MGR and the
CM6800. Refer to
Transmit Programming Settings
in the CM6800-MGR Installation/Operation Manual.
System keyboardThis is a keyboard compatible with and connected to the matrix switcher, allowing a system operator
manual control over the system.
System resetThis restores the system to the default settings, as shipped from the factory.
Vertical drive/synchronizationThis option sends a timing pulse from the matrix switcher to a compatible camera. The camera aligns
the vertical synchronization with the timing pulse.
ZoneA 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
