Pelco ALM2064 manual Overview, Description, Front View

OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION

The ALM2064 Alarm Interface Unit provides alarm monitoring capability for up to 64 alarm inputs. Using Pelco’s proprietary M protocol, the alarm unit communicates with Pelco’s CM6800 matrix switcher via an RS-485 communication interface. The alarm unit can be located remotely from the system controller and still communicate back to the central system when an alarm occurs.

Other features include the following:

•Multiple units can be cascaded to provide multiple alarm contact points on a single M port connection.

•Alarm inputs can be configured in two groups of 32 for supervised or unsupervised mode.

•The relay output activates when an alarm is triggered.

•The unit is powered by an auto-ranging power supply.

•The unit occupies one rack unit (1.75 inches or 4.45 cm), accommodating multiple types of mounting.

FRONT VIEW

The left side of the front panel includes the green power LED light. This light comes on at power-up.

The right side of the front panel includes the red alarm LED. When the light is a solid red, the alarm unit is online. When the light is off, the unit is offline. In any valid alarm condition, this light starts blinking and only stops when the alarm is no longer active.

When you remove the front panel, you have access to a reset button and configuration DIP switches.
