INSTALLATION
There are two keyboard ports on the CM6700 Switcher/Control Unit (SCU).
The LOCAL KEYBOARD port is for connecting a single keyboard within a distance of 25 feet (7.6 meters).
The REMOTE KEYBOARD(S) port is for connecting additional remote keyboards.

Connecting a Keyboard to the Local Keyboard Port

1Use the data cable that is supplied with the keyboard. Plug one end of the cable into the RJ-45 con-
nector on the rear of the keyboard and the other end into the LOCAL KEYBOARD port on the SCU
(refer to Figure 2). Set the keyboard address according to Table B on page 6.
Go to step 2 to install remote keyboards, or go to step 10.

Connecting Keyboards to the Remote Keyboard(s) Port

NOTE:

A KBDKIT or KBDKIT-X is required for this application. The KBDKIT consists of two RJ-45 wall

blocks and 120 VAC to 12 VAC transformers. The KBDKIT-X is for 230 VAC. Use one wall block for each

keyboard.

Refer to Figures 2 and 3 for the following steps.
2 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 block yet.
3 Run wall block interconnect cable (user-supplied) from the SCU to the closest keyboard location, then
to the next nearest location, and the next, etc.
Communication to the keyboards is RS-485. Maximum cable distance for RS-485 communication over
24-gauge wire is 4,000 feet (1,219 m). Pelco recommends using shielded twisted pairs cable that meets
or exceeds the basic requirements for EIA RS-485 applications.
4Remove the wall block cover and make cable connections at each wall block according to Figure 3.
5At each wall block, wire the transformer to pins 3 and 4. Polarity is unimportant.
6Replace 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.
7Set the address switches for each keyboard according to the instructions on page 6.
8Plug in all keyboard data cables according to Figure 2.
9Plug the KBDKIT or KBDKIT-X transformers into a suitable outlet.
10 To initialize the keyboard, wait five seconds after power-up, enter the number for the monitor you are
viewing (1-4), and press MON. The LED display shows the number selected.
NOTE:

You must re-initialize whenever power is cycled.
