DESCRIPTION  
Pelcos CM6800E Matrix Switcher/Controller is a cross-point video matrix switcher. The CM6800E-48X8 provides switching and control for  
48 video inputs and eight monitor outputs from any one of up to 18 keyboards, PCs, and other devices. All 48 video inputs can be used to  
view video from other devices, such as multiplexers. Forty inputs allow for looping to other devices.  
The CM6800E-48x8 can be used in the following configurations:  
A single unit provides up to 48 inputs and eight outputs  
Two CM6800E-48X8 units can be combined into a “bay-to-bay” 96 x 16 system, providing switching and control of up to 96 inputs  
and 16 outputs from the main unit.  
The CM6800E-48X8 can function as a remote satellite switcher in a CM9740/CM9760 System, allowing the system to handle  
additional video, alarm, and relay inputs, as well as allowing for use of M protocol devices, such as external alarm and relay units.

Programming  
The CM6800E 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 16 keyboards from the KBD100/200A/300A Series and 2 keyboards from the KBD960/KBR960 Series can be connected to the  
CM6800E. Camera positioning can be programmed and controlled from the KBD200A/300A (in “6800 Mode” only) and KBD960/KBR960  
Series keyboards. Refer to Associated Equipment for keyboard descriptions.  
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).  
Sequences, Macros, Presets, Patterns, and Zones  
The CM6800E 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 CM6800E interfaces with the following:  
Coaxitron® standard mode (15-bit) and extended mode (32-bit) protocol receivers  
Pelcos D and P protocol receivers (RS-422)  
Pelcos M protocol devices (RS-485)  
System Access and Priority  
The CM6800E 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: Keyboards can be assigned either full control or view-only access to specific cameras (no PTZ control).  
The CM6800E 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. A 96 x 16 system provides 16 internal alarm inputs (eight on each CM6800E-48X8 unit).  
Up to four ALM2064 Alarm Interface Units can be connected to the CM6800E (main unit only in a 96 x 16 system). Each alarm interface  
unit can handle up to 64 alarms.  
Auxiliary Outputs  
Three internal auxiliary outputs are provided on the back of the CM6800E. Two are relay outputs, and one is an open collector (TTL) output.  
A 96 x 16 system provides a total of 6 internal relay outputs (three on each CM6800E-48X8 unit). Auxiliary outputs are activated at the  
keyboard (except KBD100).  
You can also connect up to four REL2064 Relay Interface Units to the CM6800E (main unit only in a 96 x 16 system).  
Power, Mounting Methods  
The CM6800E 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 CM6800E is a self-contained video surveillance system designed for continuous duty operation. Once installed, no user or service  
technician items require the power to be 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 (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.

VIDEO SOURCES  
The CM6800E offers 48 full-function video inputs which support Coaxitron PTZ control and video loss detection. Forty video inputs, labeled  
1 through 40, can be used for looping video connections with terminating and unterminating switches on the back panel. The eight  
alternate source inputs, labeled 41 through 48, are terminated inputs. They do not have loop-through connectors or selectable termination  
switches, but otherwise they offer the same functionality as video inputs 1 through 40.  
All 48 video inputs also provide the ability to view and interface with other devices, such as Genex multiplexers. If control of the device  
connected to the video input is required, connect a data cable between the multiplexer and the CM6800E. Refer to the Connecting Genex  
Multiplexers section for instructions on connecting and controlling video from a multiplexer.

2. On video inputs 1 through 40, set the terminating switches according to your system requirements. Video inputs 41 through 48  
cannot be used for loop-through connections.  
Terminating switches are used to terminate or unterminate the video input. The factory default has the switches set in the  
terminated (75-ohm) position.  
If you are connecting only a camera to an input, leave the switch in the terminated position.  
Figure 7. Connecting Terminated Video Sources  
If you are looping the input to another device, set the rear panel switch in the unterminated (Hi-Z) position. Terminate at the final  
device.  
Figure 8. Connecting Looping Video Sources  
NOTE: The end point of any video cable run must be terminated in 75 ohms.

CONTROL LINES  
You cannot connect a Coaxitron camera to the PTZ-A or PTZ-B ports. 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-A and PTZ-B connectors on the back of the CM6800E.  
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 daisy-  
chained from each port. If more than 32 receivers are required for your system, or if you do not want to daisy-chain the receiver connec-  
tions, use the CM9760-CDU-T. You can connect up to four CM9760-CDU-T units to the CM6800E (a total of eight in a 96 x 16 system - four  
connected to each CM6800E-48X8 unit).  
NOTE: After completing system installation and power-up, you must configure the CM6800E and the camera/receiver. Refer to the  
System Start-Up section.

ALARMS  
The CM6800E 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 CM6800E. 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  
CM6800E supports eight internal alarms.  
Alarm sensors can be either N.O. (normally open) or N.C. (normally closed) contacts. The CM6800E 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 M Devices section.

KBD100, KBD200A, and KBD300A: Remote Keyboards  
Use COM 5, 6, 7, or 8 for remote keyboard connections. Each port can support up to eight KBD100/200A/300A Series keyboards. Do not  
exceed a total capacity of 16 keyboards connected to the CM6800E.  
NOTE: A KBDKIT or KBDKIT-X is required to connect remote keyboards. The KBDKIT(-X) consists of two RJ-45 wall blocks and one  
transformer. Use one wall block for each keyboard.  
If using COM 7 or 8, you will need to change the settings (the default setting is for an ASCII device.) Refer to the Programming section for  
instructions.  
1. 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 blocks yet.  
2. Connect each keyboard to a wall block, using the keyboard data cable supplied with the keyboard.  
3. Remove the wall block covers and wire the connections between each wall block. Connect to a final wall block (which will be  
connected to the CM6800E).  
Communication to the keyboards is RS-485. Pelco recommends using shielded twisted pairs cable that meets or exceeds the basic  
requirements for EIA RS-485 applications.  
4. At each wall block, wire the KBDKIT(-X) transformer to pins 3 and 4. Polarity is unimportant.  
5. 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.  
6. Set the address switches for each keyboard according to Table D.  
7. Connect the final wall block to COM 5, 6, 7, or 8 on the CM6800E, using a straight data cable (supplied with the CM6800E).

COM 3 on the CM6800E.  
If only one device is to be connected to COM 3, use the instructions for that device in the following sections.  
If more than one device is to be connected to COM 3, refer to the Multiple M Devices section.  
Connect M devices to the CM6800E with straight cables. Four straight cables and one reversed cable are supplied with the CM6800E  
(save the reversed cable for connecting a Genex Multiplexer, if applicable).  
M Devices Addressing  
Each M device connected to the CM6800E must have a unique local address within a range of 1-16. Use the hardware DIP switches to set  
the appropriate ALM2064 and REL2064 local addresses. Specify the appropriate KBD960/KBR960 local address through the keyboard  
Setup Mode after you complete the system installation (refer to the System Start-Up section).  
For use with the CM6800E, Pelco recommends numbering M devices in a sequential order. In a sample application, with two of each M  
device, you might assign local addresses as follows:

LOCAL AUXILIARIES  
The CM6800E provides three 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, F2, and F3 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 four REL2064 Relay Interface Units to the CM6800E. Note that since operation of the three internal  
auxiliary relays on the CM6800E will also operate the first three relays on the external unit, the maximum capacity of the system may be  
limited to 256 auxiliaries (depending on how you number the external relays). Refer to the Connecting a Single REL2064 Relay Interface  
Unit section for connection instructions.  
96 x 16 System Auxiliary Capacity  
Main unit:  
AUX 1-3  
Expansion Unit: AUX 4-6  
Connecting Relay Contacts – AUX 1 and 2  
AUX 1 and 2 are dry contact relay outputs. Terminal connections are provided for both normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.)  
contacts.  
Refer to Figure 26 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 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 26.

Connecting the Open Collector Output – F3 (TTL)  
F3 is a TTL open collector output. This output provides a path to ground to control the low voltage trigger input on many devices. It can  
control higher voltage control inputs via isolation relays. Refer to Figure 27 for wiring details.  
Do not exceed the voltage and current ratings for the TTL output.

1. Install each CM6800E-48X8 unit and connect appropriate devices to each unit. Note that the CM6800E-48X8 expansion unit must be  
installed within three feet of the CM6800E-48X8 main unit.  
NOTE: If you expand a 48 x 8 system to a 96 x 16 system, you must verify that each CM6800E-48X8 unit contains the same level of  
switcher software. Refer to Upgrade CM6800 Switcher Software in the Appendix. If you have previously used the CM6800-MGR  
software in a 48 x 8 configuration, you must uninstall and then reinstall the software before you can use it in a 96 x 16 configuration.  
Refer to the CM6800-MGR Installation/Operation manual, or the CM6800-MGR online help for instructions.  
Note that keyboards, Genex multiplexers, and other peripheral devices can only be connected to the main unit. The expansion unit  
can only support cameras, PTZ receivers, monitors, local alarms, and local relays. Refer to the sample CM6800E 96 x 16 system  
shown in Figure 2.  
2. Connect the CM6800E-48X8 expansion unit to the CM6800E-48X8 main unit.  
In the following steps, use the cables and clips provided with the CM6800E-KIT.  
a. Attach the spring clips to the bay-to-bay video port on each  
CM6800E-48X8 unit.  
b. Use the 16-channel video ribbon cable to connect the bay-to-bay video  
port on the CM6800E-48X8 expansion unit to the bay-to-bay video  
port on the CM6800E-48X8 main unit. The “key” on the cable  
connector must be up. Use the spring clips to hold the cable connector  
in place.  
c. Use the reversed data cable to connect port 2 on the CM6800E-48X8  
expansion unit to port 2 on the CM6800E-48X8 main unit.

SYSTEM START-UP  
After completing the system installation, follow the procedure below to start proper system operation. Skip any “system-specific” steps  
that do not apply to your system setup.  
POWER-UP THE SYSTEM  
Plug the CM6800E power cord into a 120/230V, 50/60 Hz power source. Plug in and turn on all devices connected to the CM6800E.  
Once the system is powered-up you will see video from camera 1 and the following time/date stamp on all system monitors:  
Figure 29. CM6800E Time/Date Stamp on Monitor  
The time stamp will be advancing in one-second increments. Wait five seconds before proceeding.  
INITIALIZE KEYBOARDS  
Specify a monitor for each keyboard after your first power-up or any time power is cycled to the keyboard or the CM6800E.  
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 CM6800E. If the keyboard LED does not display the monitor number, repeat 1 and 2.

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.  
3. Optional: Assign a logical alarm number to the alarm contact. Refer to Assign a Logical Alarm Number.  
PROGRAM ALARM GROUPS  
Use the Alarm Group screen to configure alarm groups to appear on system monitors.

3. In the STP matrix, configure up to eight steps to be triggered as a result of this alarm.  
a. In the CAM field select a camera (use the logical camera number) to be displayed on a system monitor.  
b. In the DWL field, enter the amount of time the camera view is displayed in an alarm sequence; enter a dwell time between 1  
and 99 seconds.  
c. Optional:  
In the CMD field, select a camera operation; if you select a macro, pattern, or preset, enter a valid macro, pattern, or preset  
number in the ## field:  
MACRO = macro (only the first three steps can be used when selecting a macro; each step must call a macro)  
PRES = preset  
PATT = pattern  
RSCN = random scan  
FSCN = frame scan  
SSCN = stop scan  
In the AUX field, select an auxiliary to be activated.  
GON = turn global auxiliary on  
GOFF = turn global auxiliary off  
CON = turn camera auxiliary on  
COFF = turn camera auxiliary off  
NOTE: Activate the auxiliaries on the rear panel of the CM6800 by selecting global auxiliary numbers 1, 2, or 3 (in a 96 x 16  
system the expansion unit auxiliaries are activated by global auxiliary numbers 4, 5, and 6). The remaining global auxiliary  
numbers control auxiliaries in up to four REL2064 Relay Interface Units.  
4. In the GROUP ENABLE field, select “Y” under the appropriate group letter to assign the alarm contact to one or more alarm groups.  
Refer to the Program Alarm Groups section for information on alarm group display options.  
NOTE: Verify that the monitor specified by the alarm group has access to the camera view(s) triggered by this alarm. If an alarm is  
cued to a monitor that does not have access to the appropriate cameras, the camera views cannot be monitored.  
5. Optional: The remaining alarm contact fields are configured with factory default settings; customize your system as necessary, by  
changing the following settings:  
ACK TYPE: The alarm clearance type is set to MANUAL by default, requiring an operator to acknowledge an alarm from a system  
keyboard. If you select AUTO, the alarm will time out automatically after the interval specified in the TIME OUT field.  
TYPE:  
Internal alarms are set by factory default as N.O. (normally open). Select N.C. for normally closed operation. Set the  
external alarm input type through the ALM2064 Alarm Interface Unit.  
PRIORITY: Select 1 for a priority alarm, which appears on system monitors before a non-priority (0) alarm.

Assign a Logical Alarm Number (Optional)  
Each CM6800E alarm type (internal, external, and video loss) has been assigned a series of default logical alarm numbers, which start at  
001 and continue sequentially. Depending on how you use the CM6800E system, the default logical alarm numbers could create a  
numbering conflict, as described below.  
Logical alarm numbers are used in the following ways:  
When an alarm is triggered, the logical alarm number, along with the alarm icon and the alarm letter (“I” for internal; “E” for  
external; “V” for video) appears on monitors programmed through the Alarm Group screen to display the alarm. Using the default  
logical alarm numbers is acceptable in this situation, because the alarm letter indicates what type of alarm is active.  
If you program the CM6800E to report alarms to an ASCII device (refer to the Ports section), then you must assign unique logical  
alarm numbers to each alarm type. Otherwise numbering conflicts will occur; for example, an internal alarm numbered 001 would be  
reported in the same way as an external alarm numbered 001.  
If you use the CM6800E as a satellite device in the CM9740/CM9760 system, and set the CM6800E to report alarms, then you must  
assign each CM6800E alarm a logical alarm number that is unique within the CM9740/CM9760 system (i.e. when used as a satellite  
device, the CM6800E shares the same pool of logical alarms numbers as the CM9740/CM9760 system).  
To assign new logical alarm numbers, navigate to the Logical Alarm Number menu as shown in Figure 37.

EVENT TIMERS  
You can automate system operation to activate sequences or macros on specific monitors. Events can be scheduled on a daily or weekly  
basis, or on a specific date such as a holiday. If you set more than one timer to start at the same time, the timers will run in the following  
order of precedence: weekly, special, daily.  
On each event timer screen:  
Two methods are provided for selecting the event time: scrolling through time values or entering a valid hour and minute.  
Each timer can activate either a macro or a sequence. Select a value for either the MACRO field or the SEQ field.  
A macro started by an event timer runs until the last step is completed (unless you specify a loop in the macro).  
A sequence started by an event timer runs continuously until another sequence or macro begins, or until a system operator selects a  
different camera.

PRIORITY  
The CM6800E 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 8 has a higher priority than a keyboard assigned  
priority level 4 on COM port 5. A higher level keyboard takes precedence over a lower level keyboard when the keyboards are issuing  
control commands.

ALARM GROUP DISPLAY OPTIONS  
To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned to an alarm group (A-H). 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  
examples below, all alarms are at the same priority level. Refer to the PRIORITY description in Program Internal and External Alarms.  
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.

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 display on three monitors will appear as follows:

a CM9700-CC1; the CM9740/9760 systems are also supported). You can view and control up to 96 video inputs on the  
CM6800 either locally (from the CM6800), or remotely (from 9700 System keyboard operators).  
The following connection instructions refer to the CM9700-CC1; the same instructions also apply to the CM9760-CC1 and the  
CM9740-CC1.  
Instructions are also provided for programming the CM6800E-48X8 as a satellite device within the 9700 System configuration  
files. Note that the programming steps differ, depending on whether you are using the CM9760-MGR System Manager  
software or the CM9700-MGR System Manager software. Instructions for both applications are provided.  
INSTALL THE CM6800E AS A SATELLITE DEVICE  
1. Install the CM6800E-48X8, in either a 48 x 8 or 96 x 16 configuration, and connect the cameras. Refer to the instructions in the  
Installation section.  
You can also connect the following optional components:  
PTZ receivers  
internal alarms  
external alarms; up to four ALM2064 units can be connected, using COM 3  
local monitor and keyboard for programming the CM6800E-48X8 (or you can program the CM6800E from a keyboard connected  
to the CM9760 system)  
2. Use a straight data cable to connect port 7 on the CM6800E-48X8 to the next available sercom port on the CM9760-CC1. Refer to  
the port assignment table in the CM9740/CM9760 System documentation.  
If the CM6800E-48X8 is more than 6 feet away from the CM9760-CC1, use two wall blocks and additional cables as needed.  
Connect the wall block pins 1, 2, 5, 7, and 8 at each end.  
3. Connect video cable tie lines from the CM6800E-48X8 monitor output ports to the video input BNC receptacles on the CM9760-MXB.  
The number of CM6800E cameras that the 9700 System can control at any one time, depends on the number of tie lines connected  
between the two systems. If you connect two tie lines, the 9700 System can control a maximum of two CM6800E cameras at one time.  
You can connect a maximum of eight tie lines.  
Note that you must use the CM6800E-48X8 monitor outputs in sequential order, starting with monitor output 1. If you use a  
local monitor to program the CM6800E-48X8, the local monitor must have the highest assigned number.

2. In the appropriate Logical Alarm Number screen, assign a logical number for each alarm contact, in sequential order. The logical numbers  
assigned in this screen are reported to the CM9740/CM9760 system and they must match the physical numbers configured in the  
CM9740/CM9760 system (refer to Program the Alarms File in the CM9740/CM9760 System Settings section). These numbers are used  
by the CM9760-KBD keyboard to arm or acknowledge an alarm.  
LOGICAL ALARM NUMBER CONSIDERATIONS:  
If you set the CM6800E to report any CM6800E alarms to the CM9740/CM9760 system, you must assign each CM6800E alarm a  
logical alarm number that is unique within the CM9740/CM9760 system (i.e. when used as a satellite device, the CM6800E shares  
the same pool of logical alarms numbers as the CM9740/CM9760 system).  
To configure a CM6800E alarm(s) to report only within the CM6800E system, and not to the CM9740/CM9760 system, assign the  
alarm(s) a logical alarm number of 0. When the alarm(s) is triggered, the physical number of the alarm(s) appears on the CM6800E  
system monitor(s).

ASCII OPERATING COMMANDS  
ASCII protocol uses the ASCII character set to transmit and receive commands between an ASCII device (such as a personal computer or  
ASCII keyboard) and the CM6800E.  
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:  
AKa  
NAa  
command accepted  
command 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.

UPGRADE THE CM6800 SWITCHER SOFTWARE  
When you expand a CM6800E-48X8 system to a 96 x 16 system, verify that all system software is up-to-date and in the appropriate  
configuration. CM6800E-48X8 software includes both the CM6800E-48X8 switcher software and the CM6800- MGR software.  
VERIFY THAT EACH CM6800E-48X8 UNIT CONTAINS THE SAME LEVEL OF SOFTWARE.  
To determine switcher software version, select “About CM6800” from the CM6800 Programming Main Menu. Verify the version level for  
each CM6800E-48X8 unit. If one unit contains a lower software level, complete the following steps to upgrade the unit:  
1. Connect a PC to the CM6800E unit (Note: you cannot connect a PC to the “Expansion” unit; if this is the unit to be updated,  
disconnect it from the “Main” unit before connecting the PC).  
Refer to Connecting a PC in the Installation section for instructions.  
2. Insert the CM6800 Resource CD into the CD drive on the PC.  
3. When the CM6800 Resources window appears, click Utilities.  
4. On the Utilities page click the link to download the current CM6800E-48X8 software.  
5. Follow the instructions provided on the screen during the download. For additional instructions, open the file named ReadMe.txt  
provided on the CM6800 Resource CD in the Utilities folder.  
NOTE: If you have previously used the CM6800-MGR software in a 48 x 8 configuration, you must uninstall and then reinstall the  
software before you can use it in a 96 x 16 configuration. Refer to the CM6800-MGR Installation/Operation manual, or the CM6800-MGR  
online help for instructions.

GLOSSARY  
Term  
Definition  
Access  
The CM6800E allows you to restrict system control by (1) limiting the monitors or cameras a keyboard  
can access, or (2) limiting the cameras that can be viewed on a monitor.  
Alarm display format  
The CM6800E Matrix Switcher provides four formats for displaying alarmed cameras on system  
monitors: Block Build, Chronological Pair, Reverse Chronological Pair, and Salvo Group.  
Alarm group  
To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned to one or more alarm groups. The CM6800E-48X8  
Matrix Switcher provides eight alarm groups (A through H). The CM6800-32X6 Matrix Switcher  
provides six alarm groups (A through F). Refer to Alarm Groups and Alarm Group Display Options.  
Alarm priority  
A priority alarm appears on system monitors before a non-priority alarm. Refer to the Priority  
description under Internal and External Alarms.  
ASCII  
The binary, 7-bit, 128-character set implemented as the standard in communications.  
Auxiliary  
Output relays can be used to control external devices based on matrix switcher activities. External  
devices can include VCRs, alarm devices, and triggers for audio circuits.  
Baud rate  
Bit  
In video, the greater the speed, the larger amount of information passed. In digital systems, this  
capacity is given in bits per second, or baud rates.  
An abbreviation for “binary digit” – the smallest unit of information a computer can use. A bit is either  
a 1 or a 0 (a high or low voltage state).  
Byte  
An 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 auxiliary  
Coaxitron  
COM port  
Some cameras contain an auxiliary output relay, which can be used to operate a device connected to  
the relay.  
This is Pelcos up the coax” control technology. Control signals are sent back up the coaxial cable that  
the video signal travels down on.  
This is a communication port input on the rear panel of the matrix switcher.  
Cross-point video matrix switcher A matrix switcher that can select any video input onto any video output at any time.  
Daisy-chain  
Dwell  
This 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.  
This 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 timer  
The matrix switcher can automatically initiate macros or sequences based on time and date.  
This is Pelcos Coaxitron control technology that uses 32 bits to send a command.  
A three-second camera scan (pan) followed by a three-second pause.  
Extended Coaxitron  
Frame scan  
Latching operation  
The auxiliary device remains on until a command is given (by a system operator or system automation)  
to turn it off.  
Logical camera number  
A user-selectable, variable number, which is associated with an actual physical camera input on the  
rear panel of the matrix switcher.  
C1528M-F (6/05)  
99  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Macro  
A 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).  
Matrix switcher  
This 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 operation  
Multiplexer (MUX)  
The auxiliary output operation is activated briefly and then turns off.  
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.  
NTSC  
The 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 cable  
PAL  
A 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.)  
The 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 type  
Partitioning (access)  
Pattern  
The 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.  
The CM6800E allows you to restrict system control by (1) limiting the monitors or cameras a keyboard  
can access, or (2) limiting the cameras that can be viewed on a monitor.  
A 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 input  
Preset  
A number representing an actual BNC camera input on the rear panel of the matrix switcher. This  
number cannot be changed.  
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 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 control  
This is the level of priority a system keyboard has to control a PTZ camera positioning system and to  
access CM6800E Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus.  
PTZ  
This is a camera positioning system with pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities.  
This is a camera scan moving in a random pattern.  
Random scan  
RJ-45 wall block  
This 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-232  
This 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.  
100  
C1528M-F (6/05)  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
RS-422  
This 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 AC-  
coupled 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-485  
This 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 AC-  
coupled 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 sequence  
Sequence  
A scratchpad sequence can be run on an individual system monitor, without entering the password-  
protected CM6800E Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus. You can program scratchpad  
sequences from the CM6800E Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus only, not from the  
CM6800-MGR software.  
Allows 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 Coaxitron  
Star configuration  
This is Pelcos Coaxitron control technology that uses 15 bits to send a command.  
This 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.  
Synchronize  
Since the CM6800E Matrix Switcher can be programmed from either the CM6800-MGR software or  
the CM6800E Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus, you could potentially have different  
settings in the two programming sources. Pelco recommends transmitting any programming changes  
from the updated programming source so that the next time you make changes from either  
programming source, you will be modifying the current system settings. Refer to Transmit  
Programming Settings in the CM6800-MGR Installation/Operation manual.  
System keyboard  
This is a keyboard compatible with and connected to the matrix switcher, allowing a system operator  
manual control over the system.  
System reset  
This restores the system to the default settings, as shipped from the factory.  
Vertical drive/synchronization  
This option sends a timing pulse from the matrix switcher to a compatible camera. The camera aligns  
the vertical synchronization with the timing pulse.  
Zone  
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. With some camera systems, a zone can be blanked to prevent  
viewing while the camera is positioned in the zone.
