4.0 INSTALLATION  
If you have the CM8505R keyboard controller, mount  
it securely into a suitable equipment rack or frame, us-  
ing the supplied rack mount screws and washers. Keep  
in mind the visibility and accessibility of the control  
functions while installing the keyboard.  
4.1 INSTALLATION PREPARATION  
Before installing your CM8500 system, it is necessary  
to know how the system will be configured. This infor-  
mation is needed not only for the hardware installa-  
tion, but is also necessary when programming the  
CM8500 system.  
4.3 SYSTEM HOOKUP  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Remove the paper  
between the battery contacts on the CPU card  
if it has not been removed. Refer to Figure 8  
and Sections 4.3.3.1.1 and 4.3.3.1.3.  
Section 5.5.1 contains important information and blank  
forms that will assist you in preparing for the installa-  
tion. Refer to this section prior to installing your  
CM8500 system.  
4.3.1 General  
4.2 MOUNTING  
The System 8500 is a third-generation Coaxitron® sys-  
tem, and therefore only requires a single coaxial cable or  
fiber* to be installed from the main card cage to each cam-  
era location. The Coaxitron® system will receive the video  
signals from each individual camera and will use the same  
coaxial cable to send data to the receiver/drivers located  
at or near the camera sites. Fixed camera locations do  
not require the receiver/driver unless the use of auxiliary  
functions is desired. Camera power can be derived from  
the receiver, which is normally powered by local 120  
VAC. Refer to Pelco Specification Sheet C550 for de-  
tails of receiver capabilities and requirements.  
The CM8502A-1 and CM8503A-1 Card Cage assem-  
blies come pre-assembled with all circuit cards installed  
and tested, ready to mount in standard 19-inch EIA rack-  
ing consoles. The card cage will take 5.25 inches (13.34  
cm) of vertical rack space. If ordered, individual spare  
circuit cards are shipped separately. See Section 4.3.3  
for instructions on individual circuit card installation  
and setup.  
NOTE: If you are installing the card cage in  
a 19-inch rack, remove the 6-32 flathead screw  
from the top of the front panel. This will allow  
you to remove the front panel after the card cage  
is installed in the rack.  
In addition to being a Coaxitron® system, the CM8500  
also can support Pelco Wiretron receivers or Pelco Spec-  
tra™, Legacy® or Intercept® receivers that have been  
configured for control via RS-422. Wiretron operation  
requires the CM8506 option board; RS-422 Spectra™,  
Legacy® and Intercept® receivers require the CM8507  
option board.  
NOTE: After installing the card cage, con-  
nect the ground lug on the back panel to earth  
ground. The ground lug is located on the left  
side above the ground symbol  
.
* NOTE: Check with your fiber-optic equipment  
manufacturer for specifications and type of  
equipment appropriate for compatibility with  
Pelco Coaxitron® transmitters and receivers.  
NOTE: Make sure the fuse module on the  
rear of the card cage is installed for the correct  
voltage.

4.3.2 Keyboard to CPU Hookup  
of the keyboard. (On the CM8505R keyboard, it doesn’t  
matter which port you use on the keyboard. Two con-  
nectors are provided to support the daisy chaining of  
keyboards, but this feature is not currently available.)  
If user-supplied cabling is installed, then the CM9505J  
adapter kit should be used to facilitate installation at  
both the CPU and keyboard locations. (See Section  
4.3.2.4 for wire-run distance specifications.)  
Up to eight (8) independent keyboards may be installed.  
The backplane of the main card cage has eight (8) ports  
that correspond to the keyboard inputs (refer to Figure  
2A). If the supplied 8-conductor flat cable assembly is  
used, it only requires that one end be plugged into a  
port on the CPU and the other into the port on the rear

4.3.2.1 CM9505UPS/CM9505J  
Installation  
4.3.2.3 CM9505J Wire/Pin  
Configuration  
The CM8502A-1 and CM8503A-1 Card Cages each  
offer a total of eight (8) individual keyboard commu-  
nications ports. Normally one keyboard utilizes one  
communications port. Communications between each  
keyboard and the CPU consists of two (2) balanced  
differential data pairs and ±12 VDC supply voltages  
together utilizing seven conductors. The keyboards are  
supplied with 25-foot (63.5 cm) pretested intercon-  
nect cables with pre-assembled RJ-45 modular 8-pin  
male connectors. Within many installations, it is nec-  
essary to install system keyboards at remote sites. The  
CM9505J Junction Box allows you to convert the key-  
board data cable into a set of cabling that can be run  
through conduit (if necessary) for significantly greater  
distances by eliminating the keyboard power connec-  
tions and only running the data. The CM9505UPS re-  
introduces keyboard power at the keyboard end of the  
cabling. See Figure 5. For distances of over 2,000 feet  
(609.6 m), Pelco recommends using the CM9505UPS-  
422 power supply/data repeater at the middle of the  
run of wire in addition to the CM9505UPS.  
Note that the pin assignments on the CM9505J wire  
connection do not match the RJ-45 modular connector.  
Make connections accordingly. (The color information  
printed on the CM9505J PC board has no relevance in  
this application.)

the active components of the keyboard. The RS-422  
data lines far exceed the distance restrictions of the DC  
power lines.

If the CPU is to supply power to the keyboards, the  
distance limitations based on conductor size are shown  
in the following table:  
NOTE: The 8-conductor cable provided by  
Pelco with the CM8505D, CM9505J or  
CM9505UPS is 28 gauge.  
NOTE: When using the CM9505J with the  
CM9505UPS , use pins 1, 2, 7, and 8 ONLY.  
This will allow for data to be passed through,  
and for power to be reintroduced at the  
CM9505UPS.

4.3.3.1.5 Installing Option Boards  
4.3.3.1.6 Option Board Receiver  
Connections  
The CM8500 is factory-equipped as a Coaxitron com-  
patible only system (unless requested differently). The  
CM8500 is also capable of transmitting two-wire con-  
trol information in RS-422 or Wiretron formats. To  
make use of the system’s two-wire capabilities, the ap-  
propriate Pelco CM8500 Option Board must be  
installed to the system buffer board.  
When working with CM8500 optional data formats,  
keep the following in mind when making the two-wire  
connections to the receivers.  
The CM8500 system offers no receiver addressability.  
Home runs are required for each receiver in the sys-  
tem, and each receiver (if addressability applies to the  
receiver) must be set to address 1.  
CM8506  
CM8507  
CM8500Wiretron compatible option  
board  
The following two-wire connections  
must be made:  
CM8500 RS-422 compatible option  
board  
When using the CM8506 Wiretron compatible op-  
tion board, the “+” output for the camera that is to be  
controlled with a Wiretron receiver must be connected  
to the “high” input on the Wiretron receiver. The “-”  
output is to be connected to the “low” input on the  
Wiretron receiver.  
Both option boards install into the CM8500 system  
using the same procedures. It is important to note that  
only one option board can be installed, making the sys-  
tem either Coaxitron®/Wiretron compatible or  
Coaxitron®/RS-422 compatible. The system cannot  
work with all three information formats at the same  
time.  
With the CM8507 RS-422 compatible option board,  
the “+” output for the camera that is to be controlled  
with an Intercept® or Legacy® receiver is to be con-  
nected to the “RX+” input on the Legacy® or Inter-  
cept® receiver. The “-” output is to be connected to  
the “RX-” input on the Legacy® or Intercept® receiver.  
NOTE:The CM8506/CM8507 option boards  
are transmit-only units. Only the appropriate  
control signals are generated from the option  
boards.  
Option Board Physical Installation  
Again, make sure all addressable receivers are set to  
address 1.  
The option boards are easy to install and should take  
only a minimum of time.After turning off system power  
and removing the buffer board (see section 4.3.3.1.4),  
notice on the un-populated side of the buffer board there  
are three (3) plug-in connectors and five (5) hex  
spacers. The populated side of the option board (ei-  
ther the CM8506 or CM8507) has the matching male  
pin connections and five mounting holes.  
IMPORTANT: After the Option Board has  
been installed, and the individual jumper se-  
lections have been made for each receiver, you  
must program the system software to match  
the individual receiver data formats. Refer to  
Section 5.5.2.4 for ReceiverTypes Program-  
ming Screen information.  
Line the female plug-in connectors and standoffs on  
the buffer board with the male pin connectors and  
mounting holes on the option board. Gently press the  
boards together making the plug in connections. Use  
the five (5) supplied mounting screws to firmly secure  
the option board to the buffer board.  
Make the appropriate jumper settings on the buffer  
board (each receiver that is compatible with the new  
option board must have jumpers set on the buffer board  
appropriately). Reinstall the new buffer board/option  
board assembly into the CM8500 card cage. See sec-  
tion 4.3.3.2 for jumper setting information.

4.3.3.2 Setting Termination on  
Video Inputs  
4.3.3.3 Determining and Setting  
Monitor Output Assignments  
The termination settings for the 32 video inputs are in-  
dividually assigned on the Buffer Card. There are 64  
jumpers located on the component side of the board,  
two jumpers for each video input (designated V1  
through V32). Refer to Figure 9. The board will have  
to be removed from the motherboard in order to change  
the setting(s). Follow the instructions for board removal  
and replacement in Section 4.3.3.1.4 and refer to Fig-  
ure 9 when setting the jumpers. For more information,  
refer to Section 4.3.3.4.2.  
Monitor output numbers automatically correspond  
to the slot that the Input/Output board is installed.  
The first monitor slot is the one just forward of the  
Buffer Card slot. The last monitor slot is located in  
the forward-most position. No other settings are  
necessary.  
4.3.3.4 Camera Location to Video  
Input Hookup  
Since the CM8500 is a Coaxitron® system, each cam-  
era input that has a Coaxitron® receiver requires only a  
single coaxial cable (or fiber) to transmit both video  
and camera control signals. Follow camera manufac-  
turers’ recommendations for maximum allowable dis-  
tances for their equipment.  
NOTE: Jumper positions 1 and 2 apply to the  
terminating/looping status of the individual  
video inputs. Jumper positions 3 and 4 apply to  
the Coaxitron®/two-wire compatibility of the  
individual receiver.

4.3.3.4.1 Cable Selection  
If there is any equipment, such as a spot monitor, be-  
tween the video input of the CM8500 and the video  
output from your camera or receiver/driver, make sure  
that these devices are set for looping, or high imped-  
ance. Terminate the video input to the CM8500. Here,  
the CM8500 is the last piece of equipment.  
Coaxitron requires a high quality solid copper core co-  
axial cable with at least 95-percent copper braid shield.  
Copper-clad steel center conductor is not recommended,  
nor is aluminum shield. Such construction is generally  
recognized as not being adequate for baseband CCTV  
systems. This type of cabling is meant for RF MATV/  
CATV type systems only.

4.3.3.4.2 Termination  
Video In  
Coaxitron is sensitive to improper termination and care  
must be taken to ensure proper installation. When a  
video output from a camera or receiver/driver goes di-  
rectly to a video input of the CM8500, the video input  
must be terminated with 75 ohms. However, if there is  
more than one piece of equipment in the video path,  
only the last piece of equipment is terminated. Termi-  
nating more than one piece of equipment (double ter-  
mination) causes loss of signal.  
In

Looping  
Input  
75-ohm  
termination  
Video devices placed between the CPU and receiver/  
driver must be passively looping and not use an ampli-  
fied looping scheme. Some quad devices and VCRs use  
this scheme. The amplified devices are not bidirectional  
and therefore do not pass the Coaxitron® control sig-  
nals. Should these devices need to be installed they must  
utilize video that has first looped through the matrix  
inputs .  
For example, if a video input to the CM8500 is going  
to be looped out to the input of another device, place  
the jumper on the buffer card in the CM8500 in the  
looping position and terminate the input of the device  
receiving its signal from the CM8500. In this case the  
CM8500 is between the video source and the final piece  
of video input equipment.  
See Section 4.3.3.2 for setting the termination jumpers.

4.3.3.4.3 Ground Loops  
4.3.6 Installation/Connection of  
CM8532 Alarm/Relay Interface  
One other precaution to take prior to final connections  
being made is to check all input coaxial cables for the  
presence of possible ground loop voltages. Sync, video,  
control functions, and/or system electronics may be ad-  
versely affected by a ground loop condition. Call Pelco  
if unable to correct any ground loop problems. Do not  
connect cables to input connectors if ground loop volt-  
ages are present between CPU and camera sites or be-  
tween camera sites through the CPU. Pelco manufac-  
tures the GIT100, ground isolation transformer, to help  
alleviate ground loop problems in Coaxitron®-based  
equipment. The use of fiber optics is also another means  
to eliminate ground loops in a system.  
4.3.6.1 Alarm/Relay Interface Kit  
Installation  
The Alarm/Relay Interface Kit contains the Alarm/  
Relay Interface Board (with ribbon cables attached)  
and all hardware needed to secure the board and con-  
nectors. The Alarm/Relay Interface Board mounts  
onto the Backplane of the CM8502-1 or CM8503-1  
Card Cage (refer to Figure 6).  
NOTE: To install the board, the top cover as  
well as the CPU and buffer boards need to be  
removed.  
4.3.3.4.4 Hookup  
Connect the 10-pin connector from the Alarm/Relay  
Interface board to the backplane of the matrix card cage.  
Note that the connector is keyed and that the edges of  
the connectors should match (i.e., that the connector  
has not shifted over one way or the other).  
After ensuring that the above conditions have been met  
and that all precautions have been observed, the co-  
axial inputs from the camera locations can be connected  
to the input connectors on the backplane of the card  
cage.  
Once connected, secure the Alarm/Relay Interface  
Board to the standoffs with the hardware provided. Once  
secured, remove the blank-off plate covering the con-  
nector slots and mount the alarm and relay intercon-  
nect ribbon cable connectors to the card cage. Refer to  
the following information for the proper location of each  
connector.  
Be sure that each connection is secure and that the con-  
nectors are properly installed.  
It is always good installation practice to mark or num-  
ber all cabling. If system troubleshooting is necessary  
and cables need to be disconnected, system downtime  
can be minimized with a well organized cable identifi-  
cation system.

Each keyboard will utilize a system monitor output for  
programming and keyboard feedback. Select one moni-  
tor output at the keyboard location to be the data monitor  
and connect that output from the card cage to the key-  
board video input connector. Connect the monitor output  
from the keyboard to the appropriate monitor and ensure  
correct termination (75 Ohm). Refer to Figure 10.  
4.3.7 Alarm Input Connection  
To connect alarm inputs to the system requires that the  
alarm inputs first be wired into a 37-pin D-type con-  
nector (supplied by Pelco). Refer to Section 4.3.7.1  
for the connector pin designations. Once wired, con-  
nect the connector to the appropriate location on the  
back panel of the card cage.  
4.3.5 Connecting Other System  
Monitors  
All other system monitors may be interconnected to  
the video output BNC terminal(s) of the card cage with  
the appropriate length and type of coaxial cable or  
fiber-optic interface equipment. The video output of  
the CM8500 is a standard NTSC 1V p-p video signal.  
Again, ensure for proper 75-Ohm termination at the  
monitor(s) or other video processing equipment.

5.0 PROGRAMMING THE CM85OO  
5.1 THE KEYBOARD/CONTROLLER  
5.1.1 General  
All programming for the CM8500 is done from the sys-  
tem keyboard(s). Since the CM8500 is a password ac-  
cessed system, any keyboard in the system may be used  
for programming. Program information is entered directly  
from the keyboard with the use of menus accessed and  
“pulled down” on the data monitor. The data monitor is  
the monitor connected to the system via the keyboard.  
Accessibility to these menus also is based on user pass-  
word and priority tables. A very structured, secure, and  
flexible system management scheme is made possible  
through the use of these programs. All operational pa-  
rameters are controlled by user-programmable system  
software.  
The CM8505 Series keyboard is the primary input de-  
vice for programming and operating the System 8500.  
All keyboards are full-function keyboards. The CM8505D  
Desktop keyboard/controller is illustrated in Figure 11.  
5.1.2 Joystick  
The joystick serves two purposes;A. To control the move-  
ment of a selected pan and tilt or scanning device in the  
operating (run) mode, and B. To control cursor move-  
ment in the programming (edit) mode of operation. Its  
operation is much like a “mouse”. The movement of the  
stick “steers” the cursor, and the push button on the top  
of the stick is used to “point” or “select” your choice.  
Camera video and control  
Monitor accessibility  
Video switching  
Alarm interface functions  
Tour functions  
Daily event scheduling  
PTZ preset and pattern functions, and  
Auxiliary functions  
The joystick control on all CM8505 model keyboards is  
of the proportional type that allows for vector solving  
control of all Pelco Spectra™, Intercept® and Legacy®  
variable speed pan and tilt devices. The farther the stick  
is deflected from center, the faster the pan and/or tilt will  
move. With the button depressed a “turbo” mode is  
achieved, allowing the pan and tilt to move at its greatest  
rate of speed in pan.  
are some of the CM8500 System operations that are  
programmable.  
Please read the following programming sections closely  
prior to system initialization and be sure you under-  
stand each section. If, for any reason, there are any ques-  
tions regarding programming or operation please call  
Pelco at (800)289-9100 or FAX us toll-free at (800)289-  
9150.  
Standard single-speed devices are compatible with the  
controller as well. When controlling fixed speed de-  
vices, only the direction of joystick movement (not the  
magnitude of movement), affects the operation of the  
pan/tilt device. See the corresponding Product Specifi-  
cation Sheets for individual specifications.

5.1.3 Numeric Keypad  
5.1.4 Selection Keys  
The numeric keypad serves as the primary input de-  
vice for numeric entries. Numeric entries include pro-  
gramming functions, call up of cameras, monitors,  
presets, sequence programs, etc. In addition to nu-  
meric entries, “CLEAR” and “ENTER” functions  
are accomplished by the 2 special keys. Refer to Fig-  
ure 12.

era [CAM] and monitor [MON] call up, preset call  
up [PRESET], pattern call up, [PATTERN], se-  
quence enable [SEQ], tour enable [TOUR], relay en-  
able [RELAY TRIGGER], and alarm acknowledge  
[ALARM ACK]. When using these functions, enter  
the numeric entry first, followed by the desired func-  
tion. Pressing these keys without first entering a nu-  
meric input will bring up an on-screen table with the

5.5 PROGRAMMING  
5.5.1.1 Video Input Form  
5.5.1 Preprogramming Information  
The Video Input Form is used to create a log of each  
camera input, its type, the receiver type, etc. This in-  
formation also is needed when setting the jumper posi-  
tions for the individual camera inputs located on the  
Buffer Board. Refer to Section 4.3.3.2 for additional  
information when setting the jumper positions.  
Prior to programming the System 8500, it is highly rec-  
ommended that the system programmer complete an  
outline of the system configuration and its operators.  
This information is not only very important when pro-  
gramming the system initially, but can be critically  
important in the event of a malfunction or other situa-  
tion occurs. The following sections will help organize  
the information needed to program the system. Once  
completed and programmed into the system, store the  
information in a safe location.  
A brief description of the type of data to be entered is  
given below:  
INPUT  
LABEL  
CAM  
This number is the input number as-  
signed to a specific camera site and  
corresponds to the video input num-  
ber located on the rear of the card  
cage. This also will be the camera  
number displayed on the monitor.  
Blank copies of the following forms are also available  
in Section 9, Programming Forms. Use these forms  
when making additional copies, if desired.  
This is the description of the cam-  
era. When the camera is accessed,  
this description will be displayed in  
the top left corner of the monitor. A  
maximum of 20 alphanumeric char-  
acters can be entered in this field.  
This represents the camera/lens type  
and the remote positioning device  
located at each specific camera site.

terminates at the card cage or loops  
through to another video device. Use  
the Notes column to log any addi-  
tional pertinent information.

5.5.2.4 Programming Receiver Types  
1. From the CAM menu, [js to RxType], high-  
light and release [point] button.  
Defining the type receiver located at each camera loca-  
tion is important to the proper operation of the CM8500  
system because the system refers to this table during  
other portions of the programming process and also in  
the “run” mode. The CM8500 system allows for four  
different receiver types: select Cx for a Coaxitron®  
system (including Legacy® Coaxitron® systems and  
Intercept® Coaxitron® systems without variable speed  
or presets), Wx for a Wiretron system, Ic for a Spec-  
tra™ or Intercept® Coaxitron® system with variable  
speed or presets, or Is for a Spectra™, Intercept® or  
Legacy® two-wire system. For fixed-mount cameras,  
define the receiver input as Cx (see note). To define the  
receiver types, refer to Figure 18 and the following pro-  
cedure:  
2. At this time the Receiver Types menu will appear  
on the screen. To define a the receiver type for a  
specific camera, move the cursor to the desired  
column for the camera to be defined and press the  
[point]button. Only one column may be selected  
at a time.  
3. Continue defining receiver types by repeating the  
above procedure or press the [CLEAR] key on  
the numeric keypad to return to the “run” mode.  
NOTE: Some Fixed-mount cameras may have  
problems receiving the Coaxitron® signal from  
the CM8500 system. If this occurs, refer to Sec-  
tion 5.5.2.9, Programming User Profiles, and  
define those cameras for viewing purposes only.  
This will prevent the Coaxitron® signal from  
being sent to the camera.

5.5.2.5 Programming Presets  
5.5.2.6 Programming Patterns  
The CM8500 system has the capability to program re-  
ceivers equipped to accept preset positions. In addition,  
when programming Spectra™ or Intercept® series re-  
ceivers, the user has the added benefit of defining a  
label for each preset position. The label will appear in  
the upper right corner of the monitor screen. The amount  
of available presets depends on the receiver. Refer to  
the corresponding receiver documentation for additional  
information on preset positions. To define preset posi-  
tions, refer to the following procedure:  
The CM8500 system can program receivers to scan a  
specific pattern, as defined by the needs of the user.  
This option is available only with Spectra™ and Inter-  
cept® series receivers. Each receiver is capable of stor-  
ing one pattern with 60 seconds of scanning time. For  
more information regarding patterns, refer to the cor-  
responding receiver documentation.  
NOTE: When programming a pattern, if the  
pattern utilizes the full 60-second time allot-  
ment, when that pattern is selected to run it will  
only scan once and stop. The camera will then  
be positioned at the end of the scan pattern. If,  
however, the pattern is programmed for less  
than 60 seconds, when the pattern is selected it  
will run continuously until manually stopped.  
1. Call up the camera to be programmed by pressing  
the corresponding digits on the numeric keypad  
and pressing the [CAM] key. The camera should  
now be selected and the camera number should be  
displayed in lower left corner of the monitor.  
NOTE: The keyboard must be able to control  
the camera. If the keyboard has control an as-  
terisk will be displayed next to the camera num-  
ber. If no asterisk is present, refer to Section  
5.5.2.9, Programming User Profiles, for addi-  
tional information.

the [ENTER] key on the numeric keypad. This  
should bring up the on-screen keypad.  
To use the Zone feature you must have a Spectra™ or  
Intercept® series dome selected. This option divides the  
360°scanning capability of the Intercept® dome into eight  
separate zones. The purpose is to label specific areas in  
the scan to assist the user in identifying the location of  
the camera at any point in the scanning process.  
5. Enter the 20-character description of the zone and  
press the Ent key on the on-screen keypad. The  
on-screen keypad should disappear and the prompt  
should change to “Enter Zone Stop.”  
It is important to note when entering the zones, always  
pan from left to right. In addition, the Spectra™ and  
Intercept® domes have an area that should not be in-  
cluded in the zone programming. To locate this area,  
enter [34][PRESET]. The camera will position it-  
self to this point. Avoid programming this area in the  
zone pattern.  
6. Using the joystick, move the camera throughout  
the desired zone.  
NOTE:There may be a small delay when first  
starting the zone scan. If the camera does not  
respond to the joystick movement, continue to  
apply pressure to the joystick, the camera will  
respond to the joystick command momentarily.

Monitor Access  
[point] button. If the location was blank, it will  
place an asterisk in the location. This will allow  
the desired keyboard to have access to that spe-  
cific monitor. If the location already had an aster-  
isk, placing the cursor on the location and pressing  
the [point] button will remove the asterisk. This  
will remove access to the monitor from that spe-  
cific keyboard.  
Because the CM8500 system can be installed in many  
different configurations, it is important to define which  
keyboards will be able to access which monitors. This  
is important when monitors and keyboards are located  
in several different locations because it prevents key-  
boards from having access to monitors not installed at  
the same location, thereby eliminating possible confu-  
sion. Refer to Figure 19 and the following procedure  
for programming instructions.  
3. To clear the screen, press the [CLEAR] key lo-  
cated on the numeric keypad.  
NOTE: If you have an alarm/relay inter-  
face card, the monitor you choose as your  
alarm monitor should be locked out of all  
your keyboard ports. Otherwise, your sys-  
tem my not respond to alarms when acti-  
vated. The keyboard/controller will always  
have monitor priority over an alarm.  
1. From the KEYBRDMenu, [js to Monlocks],  
highlight and release [point] button. The  
Keyboard/Monitor Access programming  
screen should now be on the monitor screen.

5.5.2.12 Programming Relay Follow  
1. Select AlrmRel from the main menu bar (see  
Figure 22).  
The System 8500 is capable of providing relay closures  
through the use of the CM8532 Relay output card. These  
relays can be energized manually or automatically  
through alarm programing.  
2. Select Relay from the resulting drop-down menu.  
3. From the Relay Follow table, select the moni-  
tor camera/relay table to be edited.  
The CM8532 relay follow card provides 32 double-pole  
outputs so that two contacts can be switched simulta-  
neously per relay command. The programming is moni-  
tor specific. A relay is commanded to energize based  
on a specific camera input routed to a specific monitor  
output. Relays can also be manually commanded to  
energize/de-energize.  
4. Edit the monitor/camera assignment by selecting  
the viewing monitor to trigger the relay (M1, M2,  
M3...) from the Relay Follow menu box. When a  
monitor is selected, the Relay Follow menu  
box for assigning camera/relay will result.  
5. Select the camera to be edited, and then select the  
relay number of the camera and enter the desired  
relay number (0 = no relay) from the keypad.  
Note that the relay number will disappear as the  
prompt waits for the relay number to be typed at  
the keypad. The relay can be cleared by double  
clicking on camera field.  
The System 8500 offers 32 assignable relays, allowing  
for a relay follow table to be programmed for each moni-  
tor. When a camera is selected to a particular monitor  
(for any reason), a relay can be energized. This feature  
is useful in enabling/disabling lighting, microphones,  
speakers, triggering video cassette recorders, and other  
uses.  
NOTE: The CM8532 is not an audio matrix  
(i.e., when attempting to route multiple audio  
paths to multiple monitoring stations, you may  
have serious audio problems if you attempt to  
use this board). If you have questions regard-  
ing the use of the CM8532 or relay program-  
ming, please call the factory toll-free at

5.5.2.15 Programming Event  
Schedules  
5.5.2.16 Programming DayTypes  
To program a sequence of tours for a specific DayType,  
follow the steps below:  
The System 8500 sequencing program allows the user  
to tie event programming (tours running by day types  
and times) to specific, current-year, calendar-based  
dates.  
1. Press ENTER on the keypad to enter into the Sys-  
tem 8500 programming mode.  
Each day of the year can be defined as one of six user-  
programmable DayTypes. Each DayType consists  
of 16, tour-triggering time slots. For organizational pur-  
poses, DayTypes have been assigned the following  
titles:  
2. Using the joystick pointer tool, select Event from  
the main menu.  
3. Select DayType from the resulting drop-down  
menu.  
N = Normal  
W = Weekend  
H = Holiday  
A =  
B =  
C =  
4. Choose from N,W,H,A,B, or C to select the  
DayType to be edited (see Figure 42).  
5. Each line of the Event Editor contains a fixed  
sequential event number (16 time slots total), a pro-  
grammable time field, and a line for designating  
the tour to be played out during that time slot. Se-  
lect the hour field of the first event, and enter in  
the desired time of the event in hours from the key-  
pad; select the minute field and enter in the min-  
utes from the keypad.  
Any DayType title can be assigned to any calendar date.  
NOTE: The System 8500 time clock is a 24-  
hour clock. Be sure to enter in a valid time that  
represents the desired A.M./P.M. placement  
(i.e., 3:30 P.M. = 15:30).  
6. Finally, select the tour line for designating the  
tour to be played out during this time slot. With  
the tour line of the Event Editor menu selected,  
choose the Tour to be placed in the time slot by  
clicking on the appropriate tour title from the Tour  
pick list.  
7. Repeat steps 4 thru 6 for each sequence slot needed  
(16 time slots available) to complete the event pro-  
gramming.

board during normal operation will bring up a  
“snapshot” of the current status of running tours.  
This is a useful tool in quickly verifying that  
the correct tour has been started.  
After Tours have been programmed and sequenced into  
DayTypes, each DayType can be sequenced across a  
calendar as a complete schedule of day-to-day events.  
To schedule DayTypes across specific, current-year,  
calendar-based dates, follow the steps below:  
1. Press ENTER on the keypad to enter into the Sys-  
tem 8500 programming mode (if currently not in

6.0 SYSTEM OPERATION, KEYBOARD  
COMMANDS  
6.1 SYSTEM OPERATION/KEYBOARD  
COMMANDS  
If you are not yet familiar with the operation of the  
CM8500 system, you are encouraged to take a few  
minutes to review Section 6.1, System Operation/  
Keyboard Commands. This section outlines the steps  
necessary for proper operation. Because the CM8500  
system was designed for user-friendliness, many of  
the operations may be done in more than one way.  
This section will list all ways in which to perform  
the desired task. As the operator, you may choose  
the method you feel most comfortable with.  
6.1.1 Data Monitor  
The Data Monitor is the monitor at each location con-  
nected directly to the keyboard.All menus are accessed  
through this monitor. Refer to Figure 46. When in the  
“run” mode, a Status Bar is displayed in the lower left  
corner of the monitor. This bar contains information  
regarding system operation, such as which monitor is  
accessed, which camera is accessed for the specified  
monitor, and if the current user has control over the  
selected camera. The only monitor that will have the  
Status Bar is the Data Monitor.  
For the user familiar with the operation of the CM8500  
system, an Operation Reference Guide is available in  
Section 6.2. This section only provides the user with  
the command(s) necessary to complete the desired op-  
eration. In addition, a copy of the Operation Reference  
Guide is available in Section 9, Forms, and may be pho-  
tocopied to provide assistance for system operators at  
remote keyboard locations, if desired.

6.1.2 Log On  
6.1.3 Calling Up a Monitor  
To Log On to the system requires that a Log On prompt  
be visible in the Status Bar located at the bottom of  
the Data Monitor. Press the [ENTER] key located  
on the numeric keypad to access the on-screen key-  
pad. Using the on-screen keypad only, enter the user  
id number (1-16) followed by the user access code  
(five-character PIN number). When entering this in-  
formation, there must be a space between the two  
fields. Using the on-screen keypad, press the Ent but-  
ton. If the information has been entered correctly, the  
Status Bar will display the selected monitor and cam-  
era. If the information was not valid or an error in  
format occurred, the Status Bar will return to the Log  
On prompt. Only one user may be logged onto a key-  
board at a time.  
There are two ways to call up a specific monitor. The  
first is to enter the monitor number using the numeric  
keypad followed by the [MON] key. If the desired  
monitor is available, it will be accessed at this time and  
the monitor number and the camera being viewed by  
the specified monitor will be displayed in the Status  
Bar. Only a monitor located at the control site where  
you are located should be available to be called up.  
Another method to select a specific monitor is to press  
the [MON] key without first entering a numeric input.  
This calls up an on-screen Monitor Selection Menu and  
is available on the Data Monitor only. Refer to Figure  
47. Position the cursor on the desired monitor and press  
the [point] button. If the monitor is available, it will  
be accessed at this time and the information should be  
displayed in the Status Bar.  
NOTE: When using the Monitor Selection  
Menu to select a specific monitor, the menu  
must be cleared from the Data Monitor prior  
to having control over the selected monitor/  
camera. To remove the Monitor Selection  
Menu, press the [CLEAR] key located on  
the numeric keypad.

able cameras, position the cursor on the scroll bar and  
press the [point] button. The camera video should now  
be present on the defined monitor, if so defined by the  
user's profile.  
There are three ways to call up a specific camera. If the  
user knows the number of the camera desired for view-  
ing, enter the numeric value of the camera via the nu-  
meric keypad and press the [CAM] key. If the camera  
is available to the user as defined in the user’s profile,  
the camera video will be placed on the currently ac-  
cessed monitor.  
The third way is to use the [NEXT]and[PREV] keys  
to scroll through the available cameras. Refer to Sec-  
tion 6.1.5.4 for additional information.  
To clear the Camera Selection Menu from the Data  
Monitor, press the [CLEAR] key on the numeric key-  
pad.  
If the user does not know the numeric input for a de-  
sired camera, pressing the [CAM] key will bring up a  
Camera Selection Menu, complete with cam-  
era descriptions. Refer to Figure 48. Using the joystick,  
position the cursor to the desired camera and press the

6.1.4.1 Camera Access Prompt  
6.1.5.3 Flip Control Function  
Access to a camera is defined by the user’s profile and  
can be changed only by the system manager. When a  
camera is accessed by a user, only those cameras avail-  
able to the user will be called up when requested. If a  
camera is not available to a user, the system will re-  
main in the same configuration it was in prior to re-  
questing the unauthorized camera. In many cases, us-  
ers will have access to only the video portion of the  
camera and not have any control over the camera itself.  
This also is defined in the user’s profile.  
This function key operates with Intercept® series re-  
ceivers only. When the [FLIP] key is pressed with an  
Intercept® series dome selected, the camera will rotate  
to a view 180° from the current view. For the flip com-  
mand on a Spectra™ dome, call preset 33.  
6.1.5.4 Next and Previous Functions  
These function keys allow the user to scroll through the  
cameras as defined in the user’s profile. Pressing the  
[NEXT] key causes the system to select the next cam-  
era the user is programmed to have access to. Pressing  
the [PREV] key calls up the camera before the cur-  
rently viewed camera, as defined by the camera number.  
When a camera is accessed by a user, and if the user  
has control over the camera, an asterisk will appear next  
to the camera number in the Status Bar (refer to  
Figure 46). The only time a user has control over the  
selected camera is when this prompt is displayed on  
the Data Monitor.  
NOTE: Pressing the [PREV]key selects the  
camera based on camera number, not the pre-  
viously viewed camera. If the scanning se-  
quence was camera 5 followed by camera 18,  
pressing the [PREV]key would access cam-  
era 17 unless the user did not have access to  
camera 17, in which case it would view the  
next accessible camera in descending order.  
NOTE:Auser can lose control over a selected  
camera if another user of equal or higher pri-  
ority calls up the camera. In addition, there also  
is a time-out feature that makes the camera  
available to any user if the camera hasn’t been  
used for a certain time period. If camera con-  
trol is lost or the system times out, re-select  
the camera. If you cannot control the camera,  
a user of higher priority is accessing the cam-  
era.The user of lower priority will have to wait  
until the camera becomes available again be-  
fore regaining control.  
6.1.5.5 Calling Up a Preset Position  
Preset positions are stored in the receivers and are ac-  
cessed by first selecting the desired camera. Once se-  
lected, enter the desired preset number followed by the  
[PRESET] key. Spectra™ and Intercept® series re-  
ceivers have the capability to store a description of the  
preset location. This description will appear in the up-  
per left of the monitor screen when the preset position  
is called up.  
6.1.5 Controlling Camera Operation  
6.1.5.1 Manual Movement  
All manual movement of pan and tilt functions are con-  
trolled by the joystick. Up, down, left, right and diago-  
nal movements are possible. For those units capable of  
variable-speed mode, pressing the [point] button  
while moving the joystick places the camera in “turbo”  
mode.  
Because preset positions are defined in the receiver,  
the CM8500 system does not have access to the preset  
definitions or locations once defined. It is recommended  
that once programmed, a detailed list be provided to  
those users who will be accessing the preset locations.  
Refer to Section 5.5.1.4 for additional information.  
6.1.5.2 Controlling Lens Functions  
Zoom lens functions are controlled from the lens func-  
tion keys. Zoom wide, zoom tele(photo), focus near,  
focus far, iris close and iris open are the functions avail-  
able. Coaxitron® will allow for simultaneous multiple  
lens commands and pan/tilt commands.

6.1.5.6 Adjusting Lens Zoom and  
Focus Speed  
6.1.6 Running a Sequence  
Any authorized user can run a sequence on any moni-  
tor accessible from the keyboard. When running a se-  
quence, any cameras not accessible to the user will be  
bypassed in the scanning sequence. Sequences utilize  
the priority code of the user for camera control.  
The CM8500 System offers a simple way of adjusting  
camera lens Zoom and Focus speeds for better address-  
ing user needs. To adjust the Zoom or Focus speed of a  
camera lens, proceed with the following:  
1. Call up the camera to be edited.  
6.1.6.1 Starting a Sequence  
2. On the keyboard press a value from 0 to 3 (0 being  
slow speed, 3 being fast).  
There are two ways to run a previously programmed  
sequence. The first is to enter the number of the se-  
quence followed by the [SEQ]key. The sequence will  
start automatically. The number of the sequence will  
be displayed in the Status Bar.  
3. Then press the function to be edited (i.e., [Zoom  
Wide], [Zoom Tele], [Focus Near], or  
[Focus Far]).  
The other way to run a sequence is to press the [SEQ]  
key without first entering a sequence number. This will  
cause the Sequence Menu to appear on the Data Moni-  
tor. Refer to Figure 49. To run a sequence, move the  
cursor to the desired sequence and press the [point]  
button. The sequence will start running automatically.  
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for each camera and each func-  
tion to be edited.

6.1.6.2 Stopping a Sequence  
6.1.9 Acknowledging Alarms  
When a sequence is running, the following actions will  
cause the sequence to halt operation: moving the joy-  
stick, calling up another camera, hitting the [NEXT]  
or [PREV] keys, starting another sequence or operat-  
ing any manual pan/zoom/tilt function.  
When an alarm becomes active, the description will ap-  
pear beneath the camera label on the monitor(s) it was  
assigned to. To acknowledge alarms, enter the active  
alarm number to be acknowledged using the numeric  
keypad then press the [ALARM ACK] key. Pressing  
the [ALARM ACK] key without first entering an  
alarm number will cause the system to scroll through  
all active alarms.  
NOTE: When selecting a sequence via the  
Sequence Menu, the menu must be cleared  
from the screen prior to halting the sequence.  
CM8500 Alarm Auto Acknowledge  
6.1.7 Running a Pattern  
System 8500 is capable of being placed into an Alarm  
Auto Acknowledge mode. In this mode, an alarm will  
be auto acknowledged (i.e., removed from the list of  
active alarms) when both of the following conditions  
are satisfied:  
Any authorized user can run a pattern if the user has  
access to the desired camera. Patterns are available with  
Spectra™ and Intercept® series receivers only. To start  
a pattern, first select the desired camera and press the  
[PATTERN] key. The camera should immediately  
start scanning the previously programmed pattern. To  
stop a pattern, operate any manual pan/tilt/zoom func-  
tion. Also, pressing the [FLIP] key will stop a pattern  
scan. Selecting another camera or monitor does not stop  
the pattern scan. In addition, pressing the [PATTERN]  
key at any time in pattern scan will cause the camera to  
return to the starting position of the scan and begin the  
pattern again.  
1. The alarm input that triggered the response is no  
longer in the active state.  
2. The response that has been defined for the alarm  
has been asserted at least once.  
An auto acknowledgment is in all other ways identical  
to a manual acknowledgment. To place the system into  
AutoAcknowledge or NormalAcknowledge mode, fol-  
low the following steps:  
NOTE: If the pattern was programmed for  
the full 60-second time allotment, the pattern  
will stop scanning at the end of the 60-second  
programmed pattern.  
1. Auto Acknowledge mode is selected from the key-  
board by entering [8][8][Alarm Ack] from the  
keyboard. In this mode the system will accept, but  
not require, manual acknowledgment of an alarm.  
6.1.8 Running a Tour  
An authorized user can run a tour if the user has access  
to the necessary cameras and monitors involved in the  
selected tour. To start a tour, press the TOUR button  
on the system keyboard.Apop-up menu of programmed  
tours will result on the screen. From this menu, select  
the tours to be initiated by either placing or removing  
an asterisk in the left hand column of the menu. An  
asterisk activates the tour. No asterisk indicates a deac-  
tivated tour. Dwell times (1-99) also can be individu-  
ally assigned in this menu.  
2. Manual acknowledgment mode (the system de-  
fault), is selected by entering [9][9][Alarm  
Ack] from the keyboard. In this mode manual  
acknowledgment is required to remove an alarm  
from the active alarm list. The last selected alarm  
mode is retained in nonvolatile memory.

8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING  
8.1 INITIALIZATION  
4. If customer supplied multiconductor has been in-  
stalled, ensure that wiring sequence is correct at  
all splices, junctions, and connectors. (See Section  
4.3.2.2.)  
Symptom: CPU will not power up  
5. If bad keyboard, power supply or CPU card is sus-  
pected, call dealer or Pelco for further instructions  
and return information.  
1. Check On/Off switch. Also check to see if the  
Power On and +5 VDC LEDs are illuminated. (See  
Figure 7.)  
Symptom: On initialization time display won’t come  
up; can’t get “Logon” prompt  
2. Check power cord connection.  
3. Check fuse located below the On/Off switch.  
1. This is probably a CPU or software related prob-  
lem. If after a couple of attempts to power up and  
initialize system the program will not run, call the  
factory for assistance. The initialization program  
takes about a minute to run before the time seg-  
ment comes up and the system will accept the key-  
board input.  
4. Using an ohmmeter, check the voltages at test  
points one through five on the motherboard. Refer  
to Figure 4 for test-point location and the follow-  
ing chart for proper voltages.  
5. If still no power-up, call your dealer or Pelco for  
further troubleshooting help.  
Symptom: On initialization, time/date present but can’t  
get “Logon” prompt  
Power Supply Voltages  
1. Ensure that when first initializing the system, you  
are able to view the data monitor. The system will  
always put the “Logon” prompt on the data moni-  
tor; therefore, on initial power-up the only moni-  
tor available to log on is the data monitor. (See  
Section 6.1.1)  
Voltage  
Test Point

Symptom: Getting no response to alarms  
4
5
-12 VDC  
+12 VDC  
1. Alarms should be programmed to respond to a  
monitor that is never used by a keyboard. If an  
alarm becomes activated and tries to respond to a  
monitor that is being controlled by a keyboard, the  
monitor cannot respond to the alarm. The keyboard/  
controller will always have monitor priority over  
an alarm.  
Symptom: Keyboard(s) will not power up  
1. Ensure that the keyboard(s) are plugged into the  
correct ports on the CPU. Keyboards should be  
plugged into any of the eight grouped RJ-45 jacks  
on the CPU.  
Use the monitor lock-out table to assure that there  
will not be a monitor conflict in the event of an  
alarm.  
2. Ensure that if not using the factory supplied 25 foot  
cable assembly, distance from CPU to keyboards  
is not exceeding recommended distances and that  
correct wire gauge has been installed. (See Sec-  
tion 4.3.2.4)  
3. If using the remote power supply, ensure the fuse  
is good and the keyboard and CPU are plugged  
into the proper ports on the remote power supply.  
(See Section 4.3.2.4.)

8.2 OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS  
Symptom: No camera on/off functions  
Symptom: Video is tearing, hum bars, distortion, noise  
in video  
1. Camera on/off only functions through a  
Coaxitron® receiver. If the camera power is de-  
rived from sources other than the receiver the cam-  
era on/off function will not work. If the camera  
power is derived from the receiver and the camera  
function is inoperative, check for improper termi-  
nation that could cause loss of control over receiver  
functions (See Sections 4.3.3.2).  
1. These are all symptoms of a possible ground loop  
or electrical grounding problem between one or  
more camera locations and the CPU. Although the  
problem may be restricted to only one location,  
the symptoms may be seen in the video of any or  
all inputs. RFI (radio frequency interference) and  
EMI (electromechanical interference) can also af-  
fect the video. The source of the problem needs to  
be isolated and measures taken to correct the prob-  
lem. Contact your dealer or Pelco for further assis-  
tance.  
Symptom: No preset positioning functions (manual  
or preset sequence)  
1. Preset positioning requires that the pan, tilt and  
zoom components are specially equipped with the  
proper feedback potentiometers and that the  
Coaxitron® receivers are equipped with the PP op-  
tion. Preset positioning addresses and memory are  
located in the individual receivers, not the CM8500  
CPU. Standard CM8500 firmware includes the  
capability for preset positioning.  
2. Also check for proper termination on all video in-  
puts to the system (See Section 4.3.3.2).  
Symptom: Video from specific cameras will not dis-  
play on specific monitors  
1. Check to see if camera inputs will display on other  
monitor outputs.  
2. If properly equipped for preset positioning, go to  
“Run” mode and set up a view to preset; program  
a new preset (see Section 5.5.2.5). Do this for a  
few preset locations, then try to call them up again.  
If still no response, it may be necessary to remove  
receiver power and power up again, resetting the  
electronics. Repeat above procedure and if still  
unresponsive call the dealer or factory for addi-  
tional assistance. The receiver or preset compo-  
nents may be incorrectly wired or have failed.  
2. If the camera inputs are not displaying on any  
monitor outputs, make sure the operator(s) are au-  
thorized in their respective user profile table to get  
video from the camera(s) in question (see Section  
5.5.2.9). If authorized and the camera video is still  
not present on monitor outputs, switch input cable  
to a known good input. If video is still not present  
the camera may not be turned on or operational, or  
the video cabling and/or connectors may be open/  
shorted.  
Symptom: No response to alarms  
If the system is not responding to alarms that are known  
to be triggered, check the following two most common  
oversights in an alarm setup.  
Symptom: No P/T/Z control on a specific camera  
1. Check the user profile table to ensure that the cam-  
era in question is enabled for that user. (See Sec-  
tion 5.5.2.9).  
1. Keyboard is controlling alarm monitor. If a con-  
trol keyboard is using the monitor that the alarm  
should control in the event of a triggered alarm,  
the keyboard has priority over the alarm.  
2. Check to see that the Coaxitron® receiver for the  
input in question is fully functional and that the  
camera site is capable of P/T/Z/ functions.  
2. Alarm connector wired incorrectly.  
3. Check to see that video input is properly termi-  
nated (See Section 4.3.3.2). Improper termination  
may cause intermittent or complete lack of control  
capability.

10.0 GLOSSARY OF TERMS  
Alarm, In terms of this manual “alarm” is used to de-  
note an event (i.e., contact closure, keyboard com-  
mand, or external system-generated data) which is  
communicated to the system CPU, interpreted based  
on user programming, which then runs a specific  
switching and control program. For example: A  
contact closure is sensed by the CM8532 alarm card  
on input number 2. The CPU has been programmed  
to switch camera number 15 to monitor output 4  
when an alarm is sensed on alarm input number 2.  
Additionally, a preset assigned to camera 15 could  
also have been included. Camera 15 could also have  
been put in sequence with other cameras that are  
called up in alarm.  
Event, Event programming essentially ties a tour or  
tours to (a) specific time and day type(s). These  
tend to be automatically running programs created  
to accommodate special needs in sequential switch-  
ing when human intervention is impossible or un-  
desirable.  
Input, Video, This term is applied to the input of  
the video input card. This card also supplies the  
Coaxitron® signals to the receiver, so in effect the  
card also has an output, but for simplicity’s sake  
the term video input is used when referring to the  
connection to this card.  
Logon, Logoff, Logon and logoff are used to de-  
note signing on or off the system. An operator must  
logon (sign on) to the system to access control or  
programming functions from any keyboard loca-  
tion. Keyboard display will show “Logon” when  
disabled. An operator should logoff (sign off) the  
system when leaving the keyboard location. This  
action disables the keyboard ensuring security and  
not allowing unauthorized use.  
Auxiliary Function, The Pelco Coaxitron® receiv-  
ers currently have the capability of enabling four  
external devices by means of relays triggered on  
command from the operator. By use of either latch-  
ing or momentary relays, devices like wiper/wash-  
ers, lights, gate activators, door strikes or infrared  
illuminators can be controlled. (See Pelco specifi-  
cation sheet C550 for details.)  
Coaxitron®, Pelco’s registered trademark for its up-  
the-coax video and control systems. Control pulses  
are generated at the transmitter, inserted into the  
vertical interval and sent up the same coax that the  
video from the camera uses. The signal is then de-  
coded by the receiver located near the camera loca-  
tion. The receiver sends the appropriate voltages  
via multiconductor cable to the camera/lens/PTZ/  
enclosure.  
Monitor, Data, A data monitor is a monitor that is  
connected directly to a keyboard to provide system  
information.All menu items, programming screens,  
etc. are visible on the data monitor only.  
Monitor, System, A system monitor is a monitor  
that generally is not controlled by a keyboard, but  
dedicated to system functions such as alarming,  
tours and event programming. The system  
monitor(s) by the nature of their function within  
the system should be locked out to keyboard com-  
mands.  
Day Type, A day type is used in the event program-  
ming to establish what category any specific day of  
the year is (i.e., Normal weekday, Weekend, Holi-  
day, or Special-type day). The Event/Schedule pro-  
grams will run tours based on this day type.  
Pan, The lateral, or left/right motion of a remote posi-  
tioning device.  
Dwell, The time that a specific video input is to be  
PIN, Personal identification number. Also referred to  
as the User ID code. The five-digit number assigned  
to a user to verify identification and allow access to  
the system.  
viewed within a sequence or tour.

Preset Positioning (PP), This is the ability for a  
so equipped pan/tilt unit and its associated lens to  
be set to a particular scene, then “memorized” by  
the system. The preset positions are actually stored  
in the PP version Coaxitron® receiver and assigned  
an address by the programmer (1-32). The trans-  
mitter sends the code for the desired preset to the  
receiver, requesting it to move the device(s) to the  
memorized setting(s).  
System Manager, A system manager has access  
to all menus and can make changes, deletions or  
additions to any programmable fields.  
System Supervisor, Asystem supervisor has ac-  
cess to some menus in a look-only mode, which  
allows him/her to look at the menu but not make  
any changes.  
Tilt, The vertical, or up/down motion of a remote po-  
Priority or Priority Code, Priority refers to the  
ability of one operator to gain control over an input  
over another user based on the priority code as-  
signed to each of them. Alow number priority code  
takes control over a high number priority code. In  
the case of equal priority numbers (which should  
be avoided when programming users) the opera-  
tors will alternately share control. This means that  
there is a possibility for some confusion in control-  
ling a device that two or more operators are trying  
to operate simultaneously. Priority codes should be  
well thought out to avoid control confusion.  
sitioning device.  
Tour, In terms of the System 8500 a tour is defined as  
a group of video inputs and their respective presets  
(if any) programmed to sequence to predetermined  
monitor output(s) upon command. Usually a tour  
monitor is locked out to all users (see Monitor, sys-  
tem). Tours can be used in conjunction with alarms.  
User, Any operator authorized to use, operate or pro-  
gram the system.  
User ID code, (See PIN)  
PTZ, Stands for pan, tilt and zoom.  
Zoom, The term used to denote the ability of a lens to  
vary its focal length. This may be manual or in the  
case of remote control by the use of motorized  
lenses.  
Receiver, Receiver/Driver, The receiver is the  
device that decodes the control signal from the trans-  
mitter and then “drives” the device(s) associated  
with it with the appropriate voltages. The receiver  
is usually located at or near the camera location.  
Normally the receiver is powered by local 120 VAC.  
Relay Output, The System 8500 is capable of pro-  
viding relay closures through the use of the CM8532  
Relay output card. These relays can be energized  
manually or automatically through the alarm pro-  
gramming.  
Run Mode, The keyboard is addressing receivers or  
the CPU to run sequences, tours, or other video  
switching/control functions.  
Schedule, The scheduling program ties the event pro-  
gramming (tours running by day types and times)  
to specific current year calendar-based dates.  
Sequence, Agroup of video inputs and their respec-  
tive programmed presets (if any) to sequence on  
any monitor that the system is requested (by the  
operator) to run it on. This differs from tour in that  
in tour the monitor output is predetermined by the  
program, not by the operator.
