Product Description

The EA-CT is a hand-held remote control that is designed to
communicate with Eclipse devices via infrared signals. The
remote control will give the user the ability to communi-
cate with the panel and other devices through any selected
device on the loop. The EA-CT can read device information
such as type, loop, address and sensitivity along with write
loop, address, branch and service date, and initiate walk
test and device test.. The EA-CT features a 16-character liq-
uid crystal display and a 17-button keypad.

Glossary

Address: Loop and address are the two components of a
device's identifier in an Eclipse system. Addresses 1 to 254
are valid for detectors and modules.
Branch: For loops that use t-taps or star-taps, a branch
number can be specified on each device after the tap to
indicate which device will be programmed first in a system
with auto-addressing. The branch number can be from 1
to 255.
Deselect: If a user decides not to communicate to a device
that has been selected, it may be deselected and another
device chosen instead.
Loop: Loop and address are the two components of a de-
vice's identifier in an Eclipse system. With Eclipse, multiple
loops may reside on the same pair of wires. Loops can be
numbered 1 to 255.
Master Key: If a user misplaces their PIN number, the EA-
CT can generate a code or master key that will allow techni-
cal support to provide a temporary PIN number for access.
PIN number: The EA-CT is equipped with a personal iden-
tification number that, when enabled, prevents unauthor-
ized use of the device.
Select: Since the EA-CT can conceivably have more than
one detector or module within its field of view, only one
device can be chosen or "selected" from the group. The
select key is used to choose the device to which the EA-

CT will communicate. Pressing the SELECT key more than
once will alternately select each device within the EA-CT
range. A selected device is ready to receive communica-
tions from the EA-CT.
Target: The target is the address of the device that you
would like to communicate with using the EA-CT. The tar-
get is not necessarily the device that is selected or a device
in the line of sight.

General Instruction

Press the PWR button on the EA-CT. For first time users
or devices without a PIN number, the main menu will be
displayed. To be able to set your PIN number, refer to the
PIN enable/disable (7.1) section of this manual. The main
menu consists of seven choices for the user. You can select
each choice by pressing the up or down keys to highlight
your selection and pressing enter or by pressing the num-
ber of the selected item.
NOTE: EA-CT automatically shuts down after four minutes
of non-use.
Before communication is enabled, the device must be "se-
lected" by the EA-CT. To select a device, aim the EA-CT at
the device and press the SELECT key. In situations where
there is more than one device in close proximity, the de-
sired device may not be initially selected. Simply press the
SELECT key again and that device will be deselected and
another device within the EA-CT field of view will be se-
lected. To deselect a device, aim the EA-CT at the device
and press the DESELECT key. A device can be selected or
deselected at any time.
When a device is selected by the EA-CT, the LED on the
device will change to a blinking green pattern. This will
help the user ensure the correct Eclipse device is selected.
The only exception is the mini monitor module. This unit's
LED will temporarily turn off because it does not have a
bi-color LED.
