Page 12: Introduction
At the heart of the system is the central matrix, comprising a matrix and the highly intuitive EHX configuration software, run from an external PC. The Eclipse HX-Delta User Guide describes how to use the Eclipse HX-Delta, a 3RU matrix with 2 CPU cards, and slots for 4 interface cards and 3 interface modules.
Page 13: Overview
User Guide | Eclipse HX-Delta Overview This chapter provides an overview of the Eclipse HX-Delta matrix, including the interface cards and modules that can be fitted to the matrix. Cabling recommendations Clear-Com recommends the following cabling. Clear-Com CAT5e/6a cable recommendations Category (CAT) Higher CAT numbers will support a higher bandwidth.

When a general- purpose output becomes active, the short between the common pin is broken and a new connection is made between the common pin and the normally open pin.
Page 48 User Guide | Eclipse HX-Delta The general-purpose inputs operate in one of two modes: the opto-isolated mode or the non-isolated mode. The opto-isolated mode requires the externally connected equipment to provide the current to power the general-purpose input. The non-isolated mode does not require that the externally connected equipment powers the general-purpose input.
Page 49 User Guide | Eclipse HX-Delta To cause an input to detect an active signal in non-isolated mode, the current must flow from the relevant input pin.
