Installing the KBD300A Keyboard

Installing the KBD300A Keyboard

The KBD300A keyboard is wired directly to a maximum of 16 receivers. You can communicate using Pelco P or Pelco D protocol. Direct Mode installation/operation is not the same as CM6700 mode or CM6800 mode installation/operation.

NOTE: A remote keyboard wiring kit (KBDKIT or KBDKIT-X) is required to use the keyboard in Direct Mode. The KBDKIT consists of two RJ-45 wall blocks and a 120 VAC to 12 VAC transformer. The KBDKIT-X is for 230 VAC. Only one wall block is required for this application.

Use one of the following setup options to install the KBD300A keyboard.

Setup Option 1: RS-422 Connections

To connect the KBD300A and PV140 converter to the computer running DS ControlPoint:

1. Make sure all receivers are configured to communicate using either Pelco P or Pelco D protocol, and ensure that each receiver has a unique address. Refer to your receiver manual for switch settings.

2. Decide on a suitable location for the keyboard and wall block. The keyboard must be within 7.6 meters (25 feet) of the wall block. The wall block must be within 1.8 meters (6 feet) of the nearest suitable electrical outlet.

3. Remove the cover from the KBDKIT or KBDKIT-X wall block.

4. Connect the transmission wires from the receiver (Spectra® or Esprit® system) to the wall block.

a.	Connect RX+ from the receiver/driver to TX+ (terminal 1) on the wall block.

b.	Connect RX– from the receiver/driver to TX– (terminal 2) on the wall block.

NOTE: Communication to the keyboards is RS-422. The maximum cable distance for RS-422 communication over a 24-gauge wire is 1,219 meters (4,000 feet). It is recommended that you use shielded twisted pair cable that meets or exceeds the basic requirements for EIA RS-422 applications.

5. At the wall block, wire the transformer to pins 3 and 4. Polarity is not important.

6. Replace the cover on the wall block. A double-sided sticky pad is provided to mount the wall block. Secure the wall block to a suitable surface.

7. Set the keyboard DIP switches to the Pelco D or Pelco P protocol. For DIP switch settings, refer to the KBD300A Operation manual.

8. Connect the keyboard data cable.

9. Connect the KBDKIT or KBDKIT-X transformer to a suitable outlet. The LED display shows number 1, which is the default camera number.

10. Test for proper operation (refer to the programming and operation sections of the KBD300A Universal Keyboard Installation/Operation manual).

Setup Option 2: Using the USB Adapter

1. Select the Device Manager under Computer Management.

Figure 52.  Selecting the Device Manager

2. Right-click USB Serial Port, and then select Properties. The USB Serial Port (COM1) Properties dialog box appears (refer to Figure 53).

NOTE: The USB brand name should appear in the Ports list if it is installed correctly. Refer to the USB manufacturer for driver compatibility with Microsoft® Windows®.
