2.0 DESCRIPTION
The CM9760-ALM is another ancillary product belonging to the CM9760 family
of large matrix switching configurations. The ALM unit utilizes an RS-232/422
communication interface with the CM9760 system controller and replaces the
CM9750-AL1, CM9750-AL1-X, CM9750-AL2 and the CM9750-AL2-X. The unit
can be remotely placed with respect to the controller, from where it can communicate back to the central system when an alarm occurs.
Some of the more important features of the alarm unit are as follows:
Each unit can handle up to 64 alarms.
Up to four units can be chained together giving a total of 256 alarms, accessed and supported from a single sercom port on the CM9760-CC1.
Alarm inputs can be configured in groups of 16 for supervised or non-supervised

mode.
Alarm inputs, in groups of 16, can be wired either normally open or normally
closed.
The unit is backward compatible with the CM9750 system unit (version 5.4
and later).
There is one relay output per unit.
The unit is powered by an auto-ranging power supply.
Provisions are made for detecting communication loss for cascaded units.

3.1.1.2 DIP Switch 2

If needed, refer to Figure 3 to locate DIP switch 2 and then refer to Figure 5 for an
explanation of the functions of each slide switch position. DIP switch 2 defines the
type of alarm input for each group of 16 alarms (each ALM unit contains a of total of
64 alarm inputs, divided into four groups). Refer to Section 3.2.1, INPUT ALARM
CONNECTORS.
3.1.2 LEDs
The green POWER LED located on the left front panel of the unit comes ON at
power up.
The red ALARM LED located on the right side of the front panel of the unit is lit for
any valid alarm condition and flashes ON and OFF at about 1/4 second intervals
until the alarm is no longer active. The ALARM LED follows ALARM OUT relay
activation.

3.2.1 Input Alarm Connectors

Physically, each of the four alarm input connectors consists of the same number of
input screw-type terminals. Each input connector is a dual-row header, with appropriate removable input mating plugs (refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7). Each dualheader position is associated with one of four groupings of alarm inputs, each group
representing 16 alarm inputs.
NOTE: Incidentally, if only one
alarm unit is attached to a CC1,

these alarm input numbers (1-64
and so on) correspond to the physical alarm input numbers (1-64 and
so on) used in the CM9760-MGR
Alarm Setup files; however, from
the users point of view (most likely
through a CM9760-KBD keyboard),
alarms functions are called up by
referencing the logical number associated with the alarm input rather
than the physical number.
For example, refer to the left-most dual-header position referenced in Figure 6 and
represented by Figure 7, which shows alarm inputs 1-16. Of these alarm inputs, 1-8
are wired using the top 16 screw terminal positions. Alarm inputs on these headers
physically alternate with their associated GND connection for a total of eight available ALM/GND connections in the top header: that is, pin 1 is alarm input 1 and
pin 2 is the GND connection associated with alarm input 1; pin 3 is alarm input 2
and pin 4 is alarm input 2s associated GND connection, and so on. The same
explanation applies to the lower header except alarm inputs 9-16 are accommodated, starting with alarm input 9 which is associated with physical pin 17 on the
header (see Section 4.4, ALARM WIRING).
In a similar manner, the remaining dual-header (upper/lower) combinations accommodate the three remaining alarm input groups: that is, inputs 17-32 are handled by
header two; inputs 33-48 by header three and inputs 49-64 by header four. The
wiring of alarms is covered in Section 4.4, ALARM WIRING.
Figure 7. Alarm Input Headers
11
3.2.2 Relay Output Connector

Figure 8 illustrates the relay output connector and its relative port pin assignments.
The connector is a three-position modular connector configured as a header/plug
pair with screw type contacts similar in operation to the mating connectors just
discussed for alarm inputs.
Anytime a valid alarm condition is sensed, the alarm unit will activate the relay.
The relay, if activated by a valid alarm condition, will not deactivate until no alarms
are present on the alarm unit associated with that relay. This means that if multiple
alarms were activated on a given alarm unit, the relay would remain engaged as
long as any condition which caused any of the alarms remained active.
Figure 8. Relay Output Connector
12
3.2.3 Communication Connectors

Communication with other units is provided through the three ports on the rear of
the CM9760-ALM. The processor on board the unit contains two UARTS which
provide the communication interface for enabling the configuration of the appropriate ports to be RS-232 or RS-422. The ports are referenced as serial port 0 and
serial port 1 (refer to the functional block diagram in Figure 18). Serial port 1 is
associated with the RJ-45 OUT female connector on the rear of the unit and is
always configured for RS-422. Serial Port 0, on the other hand, is associated with
either the RJ-45 IN female connector or the DB-9 female connector, dependent on
the position of slide switch position 7 on DIP switch 1 located on the front panel of
the unit (see Section 3.1.1, DIP SWITCHES). The position of the slide switch determines whether port 0 operates in RS-422 or RS-232 mode. If configured for RS-422
operation, then the RJ-45 IN connector is active and would allow the ALM unit to be
connected to an appropriate sercom port on the rear of a CM9760-CC1 controller.
Configuring Port 0 for RS-232 operation activates the DB-9 connector for RS-232
communication to COM 1/COM 2 on the rear of the CM9760-CC1.
In either case, serial port 1, associated with the RJ-45 OUT connector is always
configured as RS-422 and is used for daisy-chaining subsequent alarm units (see
Section 4.3, DAISY-CHAINING).
Individual connector pin-outs of the communication channels are discussed next.
3.2.3.1 DB-9 RS-232 Connector Pin-outs

The RS-232 DB-9 connector pin-outs are illustrated in Figure 9.
Figure 9. DB-9 Pin-outs
13
3.2.3.2 RJ-45 Connector Geometry

The RJ-45 connector pin-outs are illustrated in Figure 10.
Because the pin-out configurations of the RJ-45 connectors used to connect cascaded units together as well as the unit connected directly to the CC1 are exactly
the same, it requires the use of a flipped cable; that is, pin 1 of the cable on one
end becomes pin 8 on the other end between the two pieces of equipment the
cable interfaces. Refer to Figure 11 for a method of checking whether or not you
have a flipped cable.
Note that the active pin-outs are associated with the outer four pins; namely, 1, 2, 7
and 8. All accessories on the System 9760 require the flipped cable to be used
to attach peripheral equipment. This presently pertains to the KBD, MXB, CXT and
now the ALM unit.

3.2.4 Power Connections

The CM9760-ALM utilizes an input power, auto-ranging supply from 100-240 VAC at
50/60Hz. Input power in the range specified applied to the input terminals is acted
upon by input circuitry to yield a lower rectified voltage which is applied to a +5V
switching power supply. Associated with the input power is the power ON/OFF switch
and the input power fuse. The fuse is easily changed as illustrated in Figure 12.
Figure 12. Power Input Fuse Replacement
15
4.0 INSTALLATION
Physical installation of the alarm unit is relatively simple, although various configurations are possible.
4.1 DIRECT RACK-MOUNT HOOK-UP

Regardless of the location of an alarm unit, it will more than likely be installed in a
rack (refer to Figure 13). The alarm unit mounts in a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) rack
and occupies only 1 RU (1.75" or 4.45 cm) of rack space. If the units location is
near the controller, you can option port 0 control for DB-9, RS-232 operation, if
desired. RS-232 operational mode, however, should be used only for distances 50
feet or less from the controller.
4.2 REMOTE OPERATION

Even though the unit may or may not be installed in a rack, it might be desirable
for the unit to be placed some distance from the controller (CM9760-CC1) in which
case the wiring run from the CC1 to the RJ-45 IN port should not exceed 4,000
feet. In this case, of course, serial port 0 should be configured for RS-422 communication.
STANDARD 19" (48.3 CM) RACK MOUNT
Figure 13. CM9760-ALM Rack-Mount Installation
16
4.3 DAISY-CHAINING
Daisy-chain configurations may be invoked whether alarm units are situated locally, remotely or as a combination of the two. In any case, no more than four alarm
units can be chained together. To accomplish this, the first unit is connected from its
IN connector to the CC1 and connected to the second unit through its OUT connector. Subsequent units are chained together in the same way.
Figure 14 depicts the connection of four cascaded units. Note that the remarks
made in the previous section regarding RS-422 wiring run distances are applicable
here when considering cables distance runs between daisy-chained units.

4.4 ALARM WIRING

Section 3.2.1 introduced the four dual-header connectors and their positions on the
rear of the unit where all alarm wiring takes place. Explained there was the location
of alarm inputs with respect to header location and the natural division of each
header configuration of 64 inputs into four groups of 16 aligned left to right in
ascending order, 1 through 64, looking from the rear of the unit. In the next few
sections, we discuss each of the four groups of wired alarm inputs and their classification into contact types or modes: either unsupervised (normally open or closed)
or supervised. We contrast the differences between supervised and unsupervised
modes of operation and, finally, we discuss the specifics of how each type, in turn,
is wired.
Before we do that, we should emphasize the fact that the operational mode (supervised or non-supervised) for each 16-input group is determined solely by the slide
switch positions on DIP switch 2 (see Figure 5). It is important to keep this in mind
for the following reasons:
1.
Your alarm input wiring must reflect DIP switch 2 slide switch position settings
or vice versa.
2.
In supervised mode, alarm inputs must be defined in the system setup file.
3.
Integrating supervised and unsupervised wiring modes within the same group
is not allowed and furthermore, in non-supervised mode, you cannot have
alarms wired for both normally open and normally closed operation in the
same alarm group.
4.
If wiring a group of inputs specified as supervised, no unwired inputs are allowed as this would result in a constant alarm condition. Any unused alarm
position should have a 10K resistor wired across its input and associated GND
connection (refer to the table in Figure 7, and to Figure 15).
5.
If wiring an input group specified as unsupervised and normally closed, again

no unwired inputs are allowed as this would result in a constant alarm condition on any unused alarm input. Alarm inputs not used should be shorted out
between the alarm input and its associated GND connection (refer to the table
in Figure 7, and to Figure 16).
4.4.1 Unsupervised vs. Supervised Modes

Supervised wiring configurations were used for alarm inputs on 9750 alarm bays
and are also provided in the 9760 alarm unit. The supervised mode exists in the
9760 alarm unit for the same reason it existed in the 9750 alarm unit: security.
Supervised input alarm wiring exists for the purpose of defeating attempts to compromise alarm integrity by tampering with the alarm wiring either by cutting wires or
by bypassing or shorting sections of alarm circuitry. Alarm inputs wired in supervised mode maximize the detection of tampering by driving a current through a
constant load. Any open or shorted condition results in an alarm condition as the
voltage drop across the constant load immediately changes from its steady state.
Figures 15 and 16 illustrate the wiring configurations for supervised and unsupervised modes, respectively. Pay particular attention to how unused inputs are handled.
18
4.4.1.1 Supervised Alarm Input Configuration and

Wiring
As previously mentioned, supervised inputs are terminated, normally with 10K resistors. If it is desired for the alarm contacts to be N/O, then the terminating resistor
is wired in parallel with the alarm contacts; if it is desired for the alarm contacts to
be N/C, then the terminating resister is wired is series with those contacts.
If we wire the same group of 16 alarm inputs that were discussed in the previous
section, then again, DIP switch 2 defines the mode. In this case, slide switch position 1 on DIP switch 2 would be left in the OFF position. For supervised modes, the
position of slide switch position 2 is irrelevant. From the ALM units point of view, it
doesnt know or care whether the alarm input wiring is N/O or N/Call its watching
for is a deviation from the constant current flow through a 10K load. This will become clear in the examples in Figure 15. Note that if someone tries to defeat the
system by cutting a wire, an alarm condition is created.

4.4.1.2 Unsupervised Alarm Input Configuration and

Wiring
Unsupervised relay contacts are not terminated and are wired either as normally
open or as normally closed. If it is desired, for example, to condition the first group
of 16 alarms inputs on an alarm unit for unsupervised mode, then slide switch
position 1 on DIP switch 2 should be OFF. You can then further define the contact
wiring for the inputs of the entire group as being N/O or N/C by the position of slide
switch position 2 on DIP switch 2. If the slide switch is OFF, the wiring for the input
group is N/O; if ON, it is N/C.
Unsupervised modes are easily defeated (as noted by cutting the wire in the normally open condition in Figure 16) and should not be used in critical situations
where security is of paramount importance.

(TTL/CMOS) External Alarm Wiring

5.0 OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

The basic function of the alarm unit is to physically monitor all alarm inputs for a
change of state. For supervised inputs, the unit monitors each alarm input for a
constant current through the wiring of the alarm circuit. The alarm consists of either
a 10K resistor in series with a normally closed contact or a 10K resistor in parallel
with a normally open contact. For non-supervised modes, the unit monitors each
alarm input for a change of state from that previously defined by DIP switch positions as being N/O or N/C. A change from the defined state (N/O to N/C or N/C to
N/O) activates an alarm condition. If only one ALM unit is online when an alarm
occurs, the unit verifies its validity and, if no further restrictions apply, sends the
information to the CM9760-CC1 via serial port 0 (through either the RS-422 or
RS-232 communication path). For cascaded configurations, alarm information is
passed upward to the next contiguous alarm unit. The time required to filter and
subsequently transfer alarm information from a receiving unit to the next unit upstream is approximately 50 ms.

5.1 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM

The block diagram below represents a combination of internal circuitry and software controlled hardware connections within the CM9760-ALM unit. You should be
able to relate many of the blocks within this illustration to specific items discussed in
the text.
5.1.2 Power Up & Initialization

On power-up, RAM is cleared and initialization routines are called. The firmware
sets up processor pin configurations, interrupt priorities and other functions based
on switch positions and alarm configurations. In addition, ARM table information
from the CC1 is transferred to the alarm units ARM database table, which is associated with the alarm decision circuitry block in Figure 18.
5.2 SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS

The software (or, if you prefer, firmware) within the alarm unit enables and conditions the units initial operation on power up and manages the subsequent normal
operational mode of the alarm unit.
Other than initialization, other functions performed by the software in each ALM
unit includes but is not limited to the following:
1.
Handles the input and output processing of messages to and from the unit
and the CC1 as well as handling the communications between itself and other
ALM units in cascaded configurations.
2.
Monitors alarm inputs for valid alarm conditions.
3.
Performs internal diagnostics and housekeeping functions.
5.3 COMMAND STRUCTURES

The impetus for command and data exchange between the CC1 and the ALM unit
can be classified by those actions generated by operator input and those generated
by everything else; namely, the vagaries of the on-board firmware.
23
5.3.1 Command Set

Below is a table listing the implemented commands used with the CM9760-ALM
unit. Commands 1, 2 and 5 as well as inquiry functions are available to users via the
CM9760-KBD. Reference the appropriate sections of the KBD manual for command and inquiry features with respect to alarm functions.

CC1 to ALM unit
As previously mentioned, ARM table information from the CC1 is transferred to all
alarm units and their respective database tables on initial power up of the system.
The CC1 automatically sends ARM table information (Send Arm Table command)
to the alarm units. If, during normal operation, an alarm unit is turned off, then
turned back on or a new unit is added, for example, to a cascaded configuration
and turned on, then the alarm unit itself will issue an ARM request (Arm Table
Request command) from the CC1 when it is powered on.
The ARM table database is an integral part of the software operation of the ALM unit.
Essentially, the ARM table contains the programmed sum of all the pre-defined conditions that affect the operational relationship between the operator and user of the
system and the wired alarm inputs to the ALM unit. As a practical matter, though, the
contents and use of the ARM table by the software is transparent to the user. We
mention it here because one of the commands within the command set available to
any operator; namely, an Arm/Disarm Alarm Input command, which can be sent
by an operator to an alarm unit affects the ARM table. Upon receipt of this command,
the ALM unit in question acknowledges the command and updates its respective
ARM table database for the affected group of alarms.
The relay commands (Send Set Relay Off and Send Set Relay On) are not acted
upon by the alarm unit. Instead, they are acknowledged by the ALM unit and then
essentially thrown away. Relays are programmed to be a relay follow of alarm activation. When any valid alarm is sensed on any alarm unit, the relay on that alarm unit
becomes active and will not go inactive until all alarms on that unit go away. In
addition, the alarm LED will actively follow the alarm relay and, in an alarm condition, will flash ON and OFF in 1/4-second intervals until the alarm relay deactivates.
24
5.3.2 Other Communication Features

There are two other built-in command structures that are part of firmware operation
that are important to the functioning of the unit. One of these functions is optional
and the other is required both are user activated. These two functions are enabled by DIP switch settings and are discussed in the following two sections.
5.3.2.1 Communication Loss Reporting

You cannot use the 64TH input on an alarm unit as an alarm input if you option the
unit for communication loss reporting. To enable this feature, set DIP switch slide
position 9 on DIP switch 1 to the ON position. This means that communication
with the subsequent alarm unit (downstream) is constantly monitored. If a failure is
sensed, it is reported that an entire alarm unit has been disconnected. The firmware monitors for communication loss as follows (refer to Figure 19):
Step 1. Alarm units A and B in Figure 19 have their communication loss mode
functions enabled. On a periodic basis, the query in the next step occurs.
Step 2. Alarm unit A queries alarm unit B; alarm unit B queries alarm unit C: Are
you there?; unit B acknowledges unit As query and, likewise, unit C acknowledges unit Bs query with an ACK. As long as acknowledgment to
the query is received, everything is OK. Now, assume the communication
lines between unit B and/or C are cut or disconnected.
Step 3. Unit B, on the first instance of not receiving an ACK back from unit C, will
query unit C two more times. If no ACKs are received, it will report a communication loss with alarm unit C by indicating an alarm on unit Bs 64TH
input (ALARM 128).

5.3.2.2 Termination Switch Enable

During an alarm units normal mode of operation, it expects an acknowledgment to
any communication it sends downstream to subsequent units. All units are configured by firmware to normally pass on any commands or information it receives to
subsequent units unless the information is for the alarm unit in question. The alarm
unit will attempt to do this even if a subsequent alarm unit is not attached. To eliminate unnecessary message handling out port 1, the last unit connected in a daisychain of alarm units should have its termination bit switch set. The reason is that if
the termination bit switch is not set in the last unit in line, the alarm unit will do its
normal thing and query the nonexisting unit two more times, waiting for an acknowledgment. This takes valuable processing time for the last unit to go through the
motions unnecessarily. In the event of excessive traffic between units (more units
means more traffic) this could lengthen the overall response time for the last unit
when reporting alarms. To eliminate this potential problem, the last unit in any configuration (even one unit), should have slide switch position 10 on DIP switch 1 set
to the ON position, to enable termination. In fact, this is the default factory setting
for this slide switch position. In full cascaded unit configurations, DIP switch position 10 on units 1, 2, and 3 should be in the OFF position, while in unit 4 (the last
alarm unit in the chain) it should be in the ON position. This bit should also be ON if
only one alarm unit is connected to a controller for the reasons just stated.
5.4 INSTALLATION QUICK-CHECK, DOS AND DONTS

When installing alarm units, the following items can be referenced as a checklist.
The items are listed in the general order that they would be performed, but, of
course, the order actually followed is user defined:
1.
Define communication modes and run appropriate communication cables, paying attention to cable distance runs.
2.
Physically install the affected alarm units (rack-mount, etc.).
3.
Wire the external alarms according to your site plan. Pay close attention to the
following:
4.
26
a.
Other than the normal wiring of supervised inputs, be sure to wire

unused alarm inputs for any group configured as supervised with a 10K
resistor across the alarm and associated ground connection.
b.
Be sure to wire unused alarm inputs for any group configured as unsupervised and normally closed with a shorting wire between the unused
alarm input and its associated ground connection.
Configure your DIP switches for each alarm unit. For cascaded units, remember to set the communication failure slide switch for detecting communication
loss downstream, if desired. Also be sure to set the termination bit for the last
unit in either a chain of units or, in the case of only one alarm unit, consider it
the last unit and activate its termination bit slide switch.
