DESCRIPTION
The KBD300A Universal Keyboard has many operational features (refer to Table A) and can be used in numerous operational modes:
CM6700 Mode: Program and operate the CM6700 Matrix Switcher/Controller Unit (SCU). Also control a
Genex® multiplexer from a CM6700. Multiple keyboards can be used in this mode.
CM6800 Mode: Program and operate the CM6800 Matrix Switcher/Controller Unit (SCU). Also control a
Genex multiplexer from a CM6800 SCU. Multiple keyboards can be used in this mode.
Direct P Mode: Control up to 16 receivers connected directly to the keyboard. A separate system, such
as an MS500 or VA6100 Switcher, is needed to route video to the monitor.
NOTE: The KBD300A keyboard can also be used in Direct Mode to program a CM9760-MDA
Master Distribution Amplifier. Refer to the CM9760-MDA manual for details.
NOTE: The KBD300A keyboard has an auto-centering joystick. Be certain the joystick remains in
the neutral (vertical) position as power is applied to the keyboard. Do not move or hold down the
joystick until after the red digit LEDs have finished flashing the firmware revision.
The latest firmware release (version 5.00) allows three additional modes:
CM6700 ASCII Mode: This mode supports the CM6700 matrix auxiliary commands. The F1, F2, and F3
keys control the CM6700-MXB relays that are on the matrix bay. To enable this mode, DIP switch 7 must
be ON and DIP switch 8 must be OFF.
CM6800 ASCII Mode: This mode supports the CM6800 GPI commands. The F1, F2, and F3 keys control
the relays on an REL2064 that is connected to a CM6800 switcher. To enable this mode, DIP switch 7
must be ON and DIP switch 8 must be ON.
Direct D Mode: This mode is similar to the Direct P Protocol, except that the same set of commands is
now sent in Direct D Protocol. To enable Direct D mode, DIP switches 5 and 7 must be ON.
NOTE: You must upgrade your KBD firmware to version 5.00 if the application requires you to
select two-digit monitor numbers.

INSTALLATION – CM6700 MODE
There are two keyboard ports on the CM6700 SCU.
The LOCAL KEYBOARD port is for connecting a single keyboard within a distance of 25 feet (7.6 meters).
The REMOTE KEYBOARD(S) port is for connecting additional remote keyboards.
Connecting a Keyboard to the Local Keyboard Port
Use the data cable that is supplied with the keyboard. Plug one end of the cable into the RJ-45
connector on the rear of the keyboard and the other end into the LOCAL KEYBOARD port on the SCU
(refer to Figure 1). Set the keyboard switches according to the instructions in the
tion. Go to step 2 to install remote keyboards, or go to step 10.
Connecting Keyboards to the Remote Keyboard(s) Port
NOTE:
A KBDKIT or KBDKIT-X is required for this application. The KBDKIT consists of two RJ-45
wall blocks and a 120 VAC to 12 VAC transformer. The KBDKIT-X is for 230 VAC. Use one KBDKIT
for each keyboard.
Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for the following steps.
Decide on a suitable location for each keyboard and wall block. Keyboards must be within 25 feet (7.6
meters) of the wall block. Wall blocks must be within 6 feet (1.8 m) of the nearest suitable electrical
outlet. Do not mount the wall block at this time.
Run wall block interconnect cable (user-supplied) from the SCU to the closest keyboard location, then
to the next nearest location, and the next, etc.
Communication to the keyboards is RS-485. Maximum 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.
Switch Settings
sec-
Remove the wall block cover and make cable connections at each wall block.
At each wall block, wire the transformer to pins 3 and 4. Polarity is unimportant.
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.
Set the switches for each keyboard according to the instructions in the
Switch Settings
section.
Plug in all keyboard data cables.
Plug the KBDKIT or KBDKIT-X transformer into a suitable outlet.
To initialize the keyboard, wait five seconds after powering-up the CM6700, enter the number for the
monitor you are viewing (1-4), and press MON. The LED display shows the number entered.
NOTE: You must re-initialize whenever power is cycled.
Go to the
Programming and Operation
section and program and test for proper operation.

You can connect up to eight KBD300A keyboards to any of the following ports:
For the CM6800-48X8:
COM 5 (one direct-powered keyboard or up to eight remotely connected keyboards)
COM 6 (same as COM 5)
COM 7 (up to eight remotely connected keyboards)
COM 8 (same as COM 7)
The total number of KBD300A Series keyboards connected to the CM680-48X8 cannot exceed 16.
For the CM6800-32X6:
COM 4 (up to eight remotely connected keyboards)

The total number of KBD300A Series keyboards connected to the CM6800-32X6 cannot exceed eight.
Connecting KBD300A Direct-Powered Keyboards
For direct-powered local keyboards, use COM 5 and 6 (serial ports 5 and 6) for the CM6800-48X8 and use
COM 5 (serial port 5) for the CM6800-32X6. Each port can power one KBD300A keyboard. A KBDKIT(-X) is
required if the distance between the CM6800 and the keyboard exceeds 25 feet (7.6 m).
Refer to Figure 3 (CM6800-48X8 shown).
Using the 25-foot (7.6 m) straight data cable supplied with the keyboard, plug one end into the RJ-45
connector on the rear of the keyboard. Plug the other end into either COM 5 or 6 on the CM6800-48X8
or COM 5 on the CM6800-32X6.
Set the keyboard switches according to the instructions in the
