    INSTALLATION OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION Installing an Eclipse Matrix System: An Overview describes the steps required to install an Eclipse matrix system and customize it to your needs. The manual gives you information about placing, powering, and wiring components of your system. It is highly recommended that you read Understanding the Eclipse Matrix System: An Overview before attempting an installation.

  • Page 10: Step-By-Step Installation

    STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION To install an Eclipse matrix system: 1. Verify the shipment. 2. Select locations for your components. 3. Determine your wiring requirements. 4. Install components in rack. 5. Install cables. 6. Connect cable and auxiliary wiring. 7. Connect to mains AC Power. 8.

  • Page 11: Install Cables

    Refer to the appropriate manual in the Eclipse set of manuals for detailed information on installing a particular frame in the rack. • For matrices, refer to the Eclipse Omega Matrix Instruction Manual , the Eclipse Median Matrix Instruction Manual, the Eclipse Pico Matrix Instruction Manual or the Eclipse-32 Matrix Instruction Manual as appropriate for complete installation requirements.

  • Page 12: Connect To Mains Ac Power

    You can connect the matrix to an Ethernet network through the two standard RJ-45 Ethernet connectors labeled LAN 1 and LAN 2 on the Eclipse matrix. Ethernet connection allows you to control one or more matrices from one or more computers on a network. See Chapter 4 for more information. External Alarm Connection—Eclipse matrices have built-in fault alarm systems.

    Each installation is different, so it is beyond the scope of this manual to outline in detail this phase. Matrix Indicators to Verify Eclipse Omega There are many lights on the front of the matrix that indicate its operational status. Proper operation of the matrix is indicated by the following: 1.

    Eclipse Pico The following front-panel indicators indicate a properly operating Eclipse Pico matrix: 1. The two PSU alarm lights, labeled “1” and “2” do not illuminate under normal operating conditions. 2. One of the four green configuration lights illuminates steadily to identify the currently active configuration.

  • Page 17: Interface Frame(S) And Power Supplies

    Each interface module connects to both the central matrix and to the non-4-wire device through cable attached to hardware connectors on the rear of the interface module. To house these interface modules, Clear-Com offers three types of interface frames, which are described in the following sections.

    (1 RU) of a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack. DIG-2 interface modules allow the matrix to connect to digital versions of Clear-Com intercom stations. The DIF-102 frame is powered by one or two (for redundancy) external AC mains to 24 VDC power supplies via locking DIN connectors on the DIF-102 rear panel.

  • Page 19: External Computer

    EXTERNAL COMPUTER The Eclipse Configuration System (ECS) runs on an external computer that connects to the matrix frame via a standard PC serial port to a DB-9 RS-232 connector. The maximum recommended length of the cable is approximately 10 feet (3.04 meters). Note: If your computer does not have a serial port, but only offers USB, adapters are available from computer parts suppliers.

    any of the power supplies in the PSU-101 fails, it would cause a system alarm. LEDs on the front of the PSU-101s will indicate the failure. Installing two PSU-101 power supplies per application provides redundancy because either of the two PSU-101 power supplies can power a complete system. If one fails, it can be removed without interruption of the entire system.

If you understand it, you can skip reading the rest of the detailed steps. The main hurdle in putting these connectors on correctly is the tendency of the wires to slip out of the correct order as you slide the prepared cable end into the connector.

Note: Ensure that the “select” switch on the station’s rear panel is in the correct position for the intended use.

  • Page 34: Pin Configuration Of The General-Purpose Outputs Connector

    Each general-purpose output has a relay inside the Eclipse-208 frame. When a general-purpose output is inactive, the associated “common” pin on the GP OUT connector will be shorted to the relevant “normally closed” pin. When a general-purpose output becomes active, the short between the “common” pin is broken and a new connection is made between the “common”...

  • Page 35: Wiring The Matrix To General-Purpose Inputs

    WIRING THE MATRIX TO GENERAL-PURPOSE INPUTS You can connect an external logic device—such as an external foot switch, a panel-mounted switch, or the logic output of some other device—to the connector labeled “GP IN” on the rear of the Eclipse matrix. When the external logic device is activated, it sends a control signal into the matrix to perform one of several preset functions, such as turning an intercom station’s microphone on or off, muting a microphone’s output, or turning a station’s speaker off.

    To select a mode, move the J1 jumper on the CPU rear card to one of two positions. (The J1 jumper is located on the inner-frame side of the DB-25 connector.) • For opto-isolated mode, fit the J1 jumper across pins 1 and 2. •...

  • Page 37: Wiring The Matrix To An External Alarm

    The external device should draw no current to cause an inactive input and at least 5 mA to cause an active input. The opto-isolator drive line contains a 1.5 kOhm resistor to limit the current through the opto-isolator. You can therefore connect the input pins directly to a ground pin to cause an active input.

  • Page 38: Wiring The Matrix Directly To A 4-Wire Audio Device

    Each interface module has hardware connectors to connect to both the central matrix and to the external device that communicates with the central matrix. To house these interface modules, Clear-Com offers three types of interface frames. • The IMF-3 interface frame holds up to 11 interface modules in 3 RU of rack space.

  • Page 43: Tel-14 Telephone Interface Wiring

    Connecting more than one termination circuit to a party line will impair the sidetone null and degrade the line’s audio quality. When a CCI-22 party-line channel is connected to a Clear-Com party line, the Clear-Com/RTS “select” pin must be left floating. Grounding this pin selects the RTS mode, which is incompatible with Clear-Com party lines.
  • Page 44 Connecting to the Telephone Line Connecting the telephone line can be accomplished with one of two methods. One method is to use the RJ-11 to DB-9F adapters supplied by Clear-Com with the TEL-14 interface. The second method is to directly wire each telephone line to a DB-9F connector using the pinouts in Figure 4-21, which shows the wiring diagram of the adapter.

    Telephone Set Although it is possible to use a parallel-connected telephone set to originate calls, it is preferable to use a series-connected telephone set with the TEL-14. This will prevent the impedance of the telephone set from disturbing the telephone line impedance recognized by the TEL-14.
