PRODUCTDESCRIPTION
The SCT-1027 is a Kalatel to Pelco control code translator designed to permit control of Pelco
camerasfrom Kalatelcontrollers. Itreceives KalatelRS-422 commandsand re-transmitsthem as
PelcoRS-422commands.Thereare fourindependent Pelcooutputs.
Internal switches are used to configure the operation of the code translator. It will accept Kalatel
Digiplex II or Digiplex III at low or high baud rates. The output can be Pelco "P" or "D" code. For
Pelcoreceivers thathave amaximum addressof 32if configuredfor"P"code,theKalateladdress
canbeconverted tooneof eightgroupsof 32Pelcoaddresses.
Input and output connections are made with mating screw terminal connectors. Front panel

There is an optional 19" rack mount panel (one rack unit high).

CONVERSIONCHARTFORADDRESS GROUPSIZE OF32
(ForPelcoreceivers thatcan't haveaddresses above32if configuredfor "P"code)
Configurationnotes
Kalatel sends a continuous stream of code. When the code translator "locks on" to the code, the
Rxindicator willilluminate. Ifthe Kalatelcode parametersare notknown, changethe Kalatelcode
typeand baudrate switchesuntil theindicator lightsup. Thenmomentarilyunplugandreinsertthe
inputconnectorto confirma "lock".Ifthe Kalatelcontroller hasavector resolvingjoystick, config-
ureforavariablespeed controller. Ifnotconfigurefora fixedspeed controller.
Positions1,2and 3of switch1 determinehowKalatel cameraaddress numbersareconverted to
Pelco camera address numbers. If SW1-4 is on, only the 32 Kalatel addresses in the selected
group will pass thru the code translator. They will be converted to Pelco addresses from 1 to 32.
One of eight groups is selected by switch 1 positions 1 to 3. If SW1-4 is off, the addresses are
converteddirectlyand thegroup numersareignored. (Note: Kalateladdress 00isnot converted
to a Pelco address.)

OPERATION
Pan, tilt, zoom, focus, iris commands and presets 1 thru 16 are converted directly. For other
commands, refer to the diagram for your controller type. For KTD-405 controllers use [Find] key
instead of [Set] key to recall presets, use [Store] key to program presets, and press and hold
[Tour]forAutopan.
Settingscanlimits, recordingapattern forplayback,and accessingthe dome's on-screenmenu
are accomplished through a series of keystrokes. The keystroke series starts by pressing and
releasing the [Alarm] key followed by a recall preset number.
Note:theKalatel pre-positionsmust beenabled.If presetsabove 9areenabled, thepreset com-
mand requires a two digit number. For example #1 would be [Set] [01] instead of [Set] [1].
Pelco'spattern canbe recorded andrun aseithera fullpatternortwo halves.Torecorda pattern,
press the appropriate sequence, move the cameras in the desired pattern, then press [Stop] or
[Close] to end the recording.

KTD-301KeyboardSpeeds
If the code translator is configured for a fixed speed Kalatel controller, the slow and fast keys on
theKTD-301willchangethe speedvalue forthe Pelcopanand tiltcommands. (Onpower-up the
translatordefaultsto amediumspeed.)
[Slow] Decreasespeedvalue
[Fast] Increasespeedvalue
The KTD-301 cannot simultaneously send commands from keys in the same row or column.
Thus, the slow and fast keys will work while pan right is depressed, but slow and pan left will not
work at the same time. Likewise, fast will not work while a tilt key is depressed.

Enabling Kalatel Pre-positions
Ifthe Kalatelcontrollerbeepswhen[Set]ispressed, thepresetsare probablydisabled.To access
the controller's programming menu, press and hold [Set] for a few seconds until prompted for a

KTD-405 has a [Store] key.
Thefactorydefault setting forloweststore presetonKTD-405 keyboards is#58.Tochangethis
