Eclipse Median Instruction Manual
will cause the Eclipse Median to detect an alarm condition. A logic low
or an open circuit will cause the Eclipse Median to detect no alarm
condition.
Pin 1 is a voltage source out of the Eclipse Median matrix. It is
connected through a 10KOhm pull-up resistor to the +5 V supply rail
inside the Eclipse Median matrix.
A contact closure placed across pins 1 and 6 will also cause an alarm
condition. The alarm outputs of the PSU-101 power supply could be
wired directly to these pins allowing the CPU card to report PSU
failures also.

The DB-25 connector labeled "GP OUT" connects the matrix to eight
double-pole double-throw (DPDT) relays with contact ratings of 30
VDC at 1A.
Each general-purpose output has a relay inside the Eclipse Median
matrix. 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,
