operated.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS – The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future
reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS – All warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions should be adhered
to.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS – All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. CLEANING – Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6. ATTACHMENTS – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as
they may result in the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE – Do not use this unit near water or in an unprotected outdoor
installation, or any area which is classified as a wet location.
8. ACCESSORIES - Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and
serious damage to the equipment. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of
the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.
9. A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
10. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the equipment and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Equipment should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.
11. POWER SOURCES – This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home,
consult your product dealer or local power company. For products designed to operate from
battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION – The power supply supplied with this unit may be equipped
with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13. OVERLOADING – Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
14. POWER-CORD PROTECTION – Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to
cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the monitor.
15. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY – Never push objects of any kind into this unit through openings as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.
16. SERVICING – Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
17. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE – Unplug the unit from the outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the unit to its normal operation.
e. If the unit has been dropped or the enclosure has been damaged.
f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.
18. REPLACEMENT PARTS – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician
has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
19. SAFETY CHECK – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.
20. LIGHTNING AND POWER LINE SURGES – For added protection of this unit during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and
power-line surges.
21. HEAT – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
22. INSTALLATION – Do not install the unit in an extremely hot or humid location, or in a place

INTRODUCTON
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The HEGS5BLX is a remote keyboard controller for Honeywell Video's VideoBloX range
of video matrix switching and control equipment. Many common functions required in
controlling a medium to large sized CCTV installation may be readily carried out from a
single compact keyboard.
The major functions, which have been integrated into the unit, are the control of the
video matrix switching equipment, pan tilt zoom units (PTZs), video cassette recorders
(VCRs), Digital Video Recorders (DVRs), controlling the operation of sequences and the
monitoring of alarms. Refer to the associated CPU and Protocol Interface Translator
(PIT) manuals for specific operation of peripheral devices.
The HEGS5BLX only works in slave mode and cannot be used to control telemetry
equipment in stand alone mode.

SECTION 3:
OPERATION
3.1 CONTROLS AND LCD DISPLAY
The functionality and operation of the HEGS5BLX is dependent on the installation and
configuration of the VideoBloX switching system. The functionality of the DVR (device)
key and DVR AUX key is dependent on the device (multiplexer, DVR, VCR, etc.)
database defined and selected in the VideoBloX configuration software. Refer to the
VideoBloX Matrix Configuration Manual for details on configuring the software. The
camera key and camera AUX key functionality is dependent on the PTZ protocol settings
in the HVBPIT44 Protocol Translator. Refer to the HVBPIT44 User Manual for protocol
settings and auxiliary functions.
