    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Please read and follow these instructions before operating an Eclipse-32 matrix system. Keep these instructions for future reference. (1) WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

  • Page 6: Specifications

    Please familiarize yourself with the safety symbols in Figure 1. When you see these symbols on an Eclipse-32 matrix system, they warn you of the potential danger of electric shock if the system is used improperly. They also refer you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the manual.

  • Page 7: Introduction

    The Eclipse family of communications products now includes the Eclipse-32 digital matrix intercom, which offers 32 full-duplex communication ports, plus four extra 4-wire ports, in a one rack unit (1 RU) chassis. The Eclipse-32 matrix supports the same i-stations, 4000 series stations, ICS digital matrix stations and interfaces as its larger counterpart, the Eclipse-208 matrix, and is programmed and controlled with the same Eclipse Configuration System software.

  • Page 8: Powerful Programming Features

    • Local and global ISO routes • Control labels The Eclipse-32 matrix allows TCP/IP access to the system for updates. The system may be accessed remotely for programming or to retrieve configurations. Up to four full-system configurations may be stored in the Eclipse-32 matrix, and an unlimited number of configurations may be backed up on a computer and downloaded to the matrix as needed.

  • Page 9: Excellent Audio Quality

    MATRIX HARDWARE The Eclipse-32 matrix is 19 inches wide and one rack unit high (26.9 cm x 48.3 cm). It installs in a standard Electronics Industry Association equipment rack.

  • Page 10: Power Supplies

    A rear-panel RJ-45 connector to which you connect cable to run from the matrix to a station or interface is called a “port.” You connect shielded category-5 cable to a “port” to carry signals from the Eclipse-32 matrix to connected remote intercom stations or interfaces. Later chapters of this manual discuss these connections in detail.

  • Page 13: Operating An Eclipse-32 Matrix

    You create a configuration in the Eclipse Configuration System programming software and then upload the configuration to the Eclipse-32 matrix’s operational memory through the software. The Eclipse-32 matrix’s operational memory holds up to four complete configurations. From the controls on the matrix’s front panel, you select which configuration to apply at any given time.

    Eclipse Configuration System programming software. CONNECTING TO A GPI/RLY INTERFACE The RJ-45 socket labeled “GPI/RLY Interface” connects the Eclipse-32 matrix to a GPI-6 or RLY-6 card. The GPI-6 provides six general-purpose opto-isolated logic inputs. The RLY-6 card provides six single-pole, double-throw relay outputs.

  • Page 18: Connecting To A Second Eclipse Matrix

    CONNECTING TO A SECOND ECLIPSE MATRIX You connect shielded category-5 (CAT-5) cable from the “base loop” socket of one Eclipse-32 matrix to the “base loop” socket of a second Eclipse-32 matrix to form one non-blocking 64-port Eclipse matrix system. The cable connecting the two matrices can be up to 1 meter (3.28 feet) long.

    The matrix has two separate AC power entry connectors for the two separate power supplies in the system. A fully equipped Eclipse-32 matrix requires 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz with a maximum dissipation of 400 watts.

  • Page 20: Wiring The Matrix To Remote Devices

    Figure 1: Wiring Interfaces to Rear-Panel Connectors WIRING TO AC MAINS POWER The Eclipse-32 matrix has two IEC mains AC power connectors that provide separate power inputs for the redundant power supplies. If you connect each AC input to a different mains AC branch, one power supply will continue to operate if the other supply’s main AC branch fails.

  • Page 21: Wiring To Stations And Interfaces

    WIRING TO STATIONS AND INTERFACES Eclipse uses a 4-pair (analog) or single-pair (digital) wiring scheme between the matrix and stations. All Eclipse stations have built-in RJ-45 connectors. 4-Pair Analog Four-pair analog wiring is done with shielded CAT5 RJ-45 cable. • Pair 1 transmits analog audio from the matrix to the station. •...

  • Page 22: Single-Pair Digital

    Single-Pair Digital Single-pair digital wiring is accomplished with double-shielded 24 AWG conductor CAT-6E enhanced STP cable. Pair 1 transmits and receives multiplexed digital and analog between the matrix frame and the station. Note: Ensure that the “select” switch on the station’s rear panel is in the correct position for the intended use.

    Eclipse-32 matrix’s 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-32 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, the short between the “common”...
