ALARM INPUTS
The CM6800 can accommodate 136 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.
The CM6800 provides numerous alarm handling and display options. For example, alarms
can:
• cause a system monitor display to switch automatically to the camera with the alarm.
• activate patterns or go to presets.
• operate auxiliary outputs.
Also, up to two ALM2064 Alarm Interface Units can be connected to the CM6800. Each
alarm interface unit can handle up to 64 alarms, for a total of 128 external alarms.
AUXILIARY OUTPUTS
Three internal auxiliary outputs are provided on the back of the CM6800. Two are relay
outputs, and one is an open collector (TTL) output. You can also connect up to two
REL2064 Relay Interface Units for a maximum capacity of 128 auxiliaries.
Auxiliary outputs are activated at the keyboard (except KBD100).
POWER, MOUNTING METHODS
The CM6800 operates on 120V or 230V, 50/60 Hz. The case mounts in three rack units
(5.25 inches or 13.34 cm) of vertical space in a universal mount, such as a 19-inch (48.26
cm) equipment bay, or to a wall or tabletop.
CONTINUOUS OPERATING DEVICE
The CM6800 is a self-contained video surveillance system designed specifically for use in
security applications. As such, the CM6800 is intended for continuous duty operation. Once
installed, there are no user or service technician items that require intervention which would
require the system to go off-line or have the power turned off under normal operation.
There are two methods for system programming: direct menu control and indirect control,
using a Windows
®
-based setup program supplied by Pelco. Both of these methods are
noninvasive and do not require the cycling of power in order for storage or execution of new
software settings. The communication ports use standard low voltage interfaces such as
RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485, and all connections and disconnections do not require
rebooting or power cycling. Video connections or changes of termination state do not
require rebooting or power cycling.
