5-36 Pelco Manual C501M-B (10/97)
5.5.2.12 Programming Relay Follow
The System 8500 is capable of providing relay closures
through the use of the CM8532 Relay output card. These
relays can be energized manually or automatically
through alarm programing.
The CM8532 relay follow card provides 32 double-pole
outputs so that two contacts can be switched simulta-
neously per relay command. The programming is moni-
tor specific. A relay is commanded to energize based
on a specific camera input routed to a specific monitor
output. Relays can also be manually commanded to
energize/de-energize.
The System 8500 offers 32 assignable relays, allowing
for a relay follow table to be programmed for each moni-
tor. When a camera is selected to a particular monitor
(for any reason), a relay can be energized. This feature
is useful in enabling/disabling lighting, microphones,
speakers, triggering video cassette recorders, and other
uses.
NOTE: The CM8532 is not an audio matrix
(i.e., when attempting to route multiple audio
paths to multiple monitoring stations, you may
have serious audio problems if you attempt to
use this board). If you have questions regard-
ing the use of the CM8532 or relay program-
ming, please call the factory toll-free at
(800)289-9100.
