1 THE ECLIPSE OMEGA MATRIX SYSTEM: AN OVERVIEW The Eclipse range of matrices comes in three frame formats. The Eclipse Omega matrix is the largest with 15 client card slots providing up to 240 ports in six rack units (6RU). The other members of the Eclipse family are the Median, with slots for up to 7 client cards and 8 interface modules in six rack units (6RU), and the PiCo, with up to 36 panel and 4-wire ports in one rack unit (1RU).
• “Virtual” operation in which a complete networked system can be operated and maintained from anywhere in the world. The system provides both local area network and Internet access to the central matrix. • Visual and intuitive Eclipse Configuration System (ECS) programming software. THE ECLIPSE OMEGA MATRIX A complete Eclipse Omega system consists of a central matrix and the remote audio devices—intercom panels, interfaces, 4-wire equipment—connected to it.
MATRIX CHASSIS The matrix chassis is a metal rectangular box which measures six rack units high and 19-inches wide (26.9 cm x 48.3 cm). It has slots for 17 circuit cards and 2 power supplies. RJ-45 and fiber-optic connectors are located on removable plates on the rear of the chassis. These connect the circuit cards to intercom devices and media such as panels, interfaces, 4-wire audio equipment, wireless equipment and fiber-optic cables.
Fiber Card Fiber cards connect Eclipse matrices together to provide a high speed, dual redundant link to transfer audio samples and data between systems. These connections can be configured in various ways to provide protection against the loss of a link or a node. Each fiber card link consists of a front card with various status indicators and a rear card with two Duplex LC Terminated fiber optic connectors (TXVRA and TXVRB).
“Configurations”—which are the operating parameters of complete system setups, can be created from the connected computer. You can store four complete system configurations in the computer’s memory to retrieve and activate when needed. The Eclipse Configuration System runs on three versions of Windows: Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000. When running ECS on the three Windows operating systems, the client and server can run on separate machines connected over a network.
The type of cable used to connect the interface module to the non-4-wire device varies with the device. Each of these connections is described more fully in the individual manual for each interface.
2 OPERATION THE ECLIPSE OMEGA MATRIX AND CIRCUIT CARDS The Eclipse Omega matrix chassis houses the circuit cards, power supplies, and connectors that form the central hardware of the system. Measuring 19-inches wide and 6 rack units high (48.3 cm x 26.9 cm), the matrix chassis installs in a standard equipment rack. Various types of Eclipse Omega circuit cards perform unique functions.
CENTRAL PROCESSOR UNIT (CPU) CARD DESCRIPTION The central processor unit (CPU) card holds the circuitry that allows the system to connect to, and communicate with, the following interfaces: • A computer • External alarms • Eight general-purpose inputs (GPIs) Note: General Purpose Outputs are also referred to as “relays.
FAIL-SAFE OPERATION The CPU card’s non-volatile memory stores all information about the current operating configuration and the three additional configurations, allowing the system to restore itself automatically after a power failure, after replacement of a port card, or after replacement of a panel. An Eclipse Omega system will operate with either one or two CPU cards. When you install a second card, that card stores the four configurations in its RAM as a backup to the main card.
1 RESET BUTTON RESET +5V +3.3V 2 POWER SUPPLY LIGHTS When lit, +5-volt power supply is on When lit, +3.
4 Status Lights OK Light When flashing, the “OK” light indicates that the CPU card is successfully communicating with the Eclipse Configuration System (ECS). IPC (Interprocessor Communication) Light The “interprocessor communication” (IPC) light only operates when there are two CPU cards in the matrix. When lit, the light indicates that the two CPU cards are exchanging information. Master Light An Eclipse Omega system can have two CPU cards, although the system will operate with only one.
When a non-active configuration’s number appears in the display, it flashes to indicate its non-active status. When an active configuration’s number (either 1,2, 3, or 4) appears in the display, it illuminates solidly (without flashing) to indicate that it is the active configuration. To select one of the four configurations from the CPU card: 1. Repeatedly press the CONFIG button until the desired configuration’s number (1,2,3, or 4) appears in the display. 2.
PORT CARD DESCRIPTION Port cards connect the central matrix to intercom panels and interfaces. In a linked system, port cards connect trunk lines. The analog card, designated the “MVX-A16,” supports normal audio feeds, user panels, and trunk lines. All cards contain a voice detection mechanism (“VOX”) that you program from the ECS configuration software. VOX detection allows you to know when the audio on a particular channel has exceeded a threshold.
+3.3-Volt Power Supply Light The matrix’s +3.3-volt power supply provides electric current to this green light. When lit, the light indicates that the +3.3-volt supply is present and supplying electric current to the card. 1 RESET BUTTON RESET +12V -12V +5V +3.3V ACTIVE VOX 1 2 2 POWER SUPPLY LIGHTS When lit, +12 V power supply is on When lit, –12 V power supply is on When lit, +5 V power supply is on When lit, +3.
3 Active Lights When lit, an “active” light indicates successful communication between the port card and a connected device such as an intercom panel or interface. Each of the port card’s 16 yellow “active” lights corresponds to one of 16 rear-panel connectors or “ports” to which audio devices can be connected. 4 VOX Lights When lit, a “VOX” light indicates that the audio level on a connected device, such as an intercom panel or interface, has exceeded a preset threshold.
POWER SUPPLY DESCRIPTION Eclipse Omega has two Euro Cassette power supply units that you can easily install or remove as needed. One power supply unit can power an entire matrix; the second unit provides a backup in case of an equipment failure. In addition, the two supplies have separate IEC connectors to AC mains power, and are designed for completely automatic and transparent changeover between supplies in the event of an outage on one of the AC mains circuits.

MAIN ALARM LIGHT An alarm condition triggers the following events: • The red main alarm light flashes. • The matrix’s internal alarm buzzer sounds. • Any installed alarm relay outputs switch to active (the normally open contact closes and the normally closed contact opens). When the alarm relay activates, it can cause an externally connected device like a light or buzzer to switch on. • One of the six auxiliary red alarm lights may go on to more precisely indicate the source of the alarm condition.
• One of two CPU cards has been removed from the matrix. (Note that this feature only operates if there are two CPU cards installed in the matrix. If there is only one CPU card, the Temp alarm light does not switch on if the card is removed.) Fan-Fail Alarm The red fan-fail alarm light illuminates when either fan in the power-supply module stops rotating correctly.
Fan-On Indicator Two fans deliver forced air cooling to the matrix’s power supplies. The primary fan runs continuously. If a temperature exceeding a threshold is detected in a power supply and extra cooling is required, a second fan switches on to increase the air flow. The “fan-on” alarm light illuminates red to indicate that the second fan is on. POWER SUPPLY LIGHTS The green power-supply lights illuminate to indicate that the power supplies are receiving +12 V, –12 V, +5 V, and 3.3 V power.
CONNECTING THE MATRIX The Eclipse Omega matrix connects to devices such as the configuration computer, panels, interfaces, and other matrices through its rear-panel hardware connectors, often called “ports.” These connectors are housed in modular removable panels. Each panel is associated with a corresponding front-panel circuit card. Port Port Port Port Blank Panels are installed in unused portions of the frame.
You can precisely locate a port with its column and row number. CONNECTING THE CPU CARD The rear-connector panel associated with the CPU card holds seven connectors, as illustrated in Figure 6. The following sections describe each connector. The Installation Chapter of this manual gives pin assignments for each connector. Note: A matrix only requires one rear-panel CPU card, because whichever of the two front-installed CPU cards is acting as master will work in conjunction with this card.
from the matrix by daisy-chaining the cards together. Each card has an IN and an OUT connector for this purpose. The RLY-6 and GPI-6 cards connect to the GPI/RLY interface connector using shielded category-5 cable. For more information about the GPI-6 and RLY-6 cards, consult their respective manuals in the Eclipse Omega manual set. 2 RS-232 CONNECTOR The female 9-pin D-type socket labeled “RS-232” connects the CPU card to an external computer.

You choose the function to perform and the panel upon which it is performed from the assignment program. 6 LOCAL AREA NETWORK 1 CONNECTOR (“LAN 1”) The RJ-45 socket labeled “LAN 1” connects a local area network (LAN) to the CPU card through a standard Ethernet connection. The green LED indicates the port is connected and the amber LED indicates activity.
3 ECLIPSE FIBER CARD LINKING FIBER CARD DESCRIPTION E-FIB fiber cards connect Eclipse matrices together to provide a high speed, dual redundant link to transfer audio samples and data between systems. These connections can be configured in various ways to provide protection against the loss of a link or a node. Each fiber card link consists of a front card with various status indicators and a rear card with two Duplex LC Terminated fiber optic connectors (TXVRA and TXVRB).
Front Card LED When lit indicates that the front card in functioning normally. Rear Card LED When lit indicates that the rear card is functioning normally.

3 Primary Link Status LEDs These LEDs indicate the status and functioning of the primary (A) fiber optic link. Link LED This LED indicates whether a link has been established on the primary fiber optic circuit (transceiver A). When illuminated a link is present. TXVR LED This LED indicates when data is being transmitted on the primary circuit. It is illuminated when data is present on the circuit. ACT LED This LED is lit if the primary fiber optic circuit is active.
6 Frame Data LED The red “status” light illuminates to indicate a failure in communication between the fiber card and the CPU card. FIBER CARD REAR PANEL LIGHTS AND CONNECTIONS The fiber card rear card contains a single power supply indicator LED and two fiber connectors. Class 1 Laser Product +3.3V When lit, +3.3 V power supply is on TXVRB NOTE Secondary Fiber Port Transceiver Lasers Primary and Secondary Fiber ports are reversed with respect to the front panel indicators.
The fiber optic cable for the primary and secondary circuits are plugged into the appropriate ports. Eye Safety This laser based single mode transceiver is a Class 1 product. It complies with IEC 60825-1/A2:2001 and FDA performance standards for laser products (21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11) except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice 50, dated July 26, 2001. Note: The order of the fiber optic cable connections is reversed between the front and rear panels.
Figure 3-3: Ring Topology Single Card Set Redundancy Loss of Single Fiber Connection If a single fiber connection is lost on one ring and the other ring is intact then the active ring always attempts to heal itself by reversing the direction of data flow to bypass the failed connection. If the extent of the failure is such that the active ring is unable to heal itself then the system will switch to the secondary ring.
Loss of a Single Node If a node is lost on the ring the nodes adjacent to the failed node will loop-back their connections to the failed node healing the ring using the working remains of the ring. The configuration software (ECS) will report the failure. This applies to the situation where the fiber card itself has failed rather than the matrix.
The self healing mechanism is performed automatically by the fiber linking card whereas the switch-over between redundant cards and rings requires software or operator intervention. Loss of a Single Node If a node is lost on one ring due to a single fiber-optic linking card set failure and the fiber-optic linking card set for the other ring is healthy and the other ring is intact then the active ring always attempts to heal itself.
Note that in this instance the two sub-rings will be dependent on their Ethernet connections for configuration and data transmission but there will be no audio path between them. Figure 3-4: Ring Topology Dual Card Set Redundancy Loss of Two Nodes If two adjacent nodes are lost on the ring this will be handled as for the loss of a single node where the nodes adjacent to the failed node will loop-back their connections to the failed nodes healing the ring.
If two adjacent nodes are lost on one ring and the other ring has a similar fault this will be handled as for the loss of a single node where the nodes adjacent to the failed node will loop-back their connections to the failed nodes healing the ring. The configuration software will report the failure correctly as two failed nodes.
available to nodes within the same sub-ring but data may still be available to all nodes that are still functioning if there is an intact, independent Ethernet connection to those nodes. If a Matrix frame, connected as a node of the fiber-optic link is reset, powered down or failed this will constitute a lost or failed node on the ring and this node will experience audio breaks or disturbances and loss of crosspoint information or data for up to 5 seconds after the fault condition is cleared or repaired.
4 ECLIPSE E-QUE CARD E-QUE CARD DESCRIPTION The E-QUE card allows the Eclipse matrix connectivity to FreeSpeak/CellCom antennas and FreeSpeak/CellCom antenna splitters. The connection options supported are: • 8 x FreeSpeak/CellCom antenna direct connections • 2 x FreeSpeak/CellCom splitter connections (up to 5 antennas each) Up to 40 antennas and 200 beltpacks can be connected to a matrix using E-Que cards.
The matrix’s +3.3-volt power supply provides electric current to this green light. When lit, the light indicates that the +3.3-volt supply is present and supplying power to the card.

The system is designed such that the leftmost card (seen from the front) is always the one which generates this signal.
Where multiple connected matrices are used containing E-Que cards the DECT reference ports are connected as a daisy chain between the matrices to ensure that the DECT signals are synchronised through all the E-Que cards present in the matrices. The LAN port is used for diagnostic purposes. E-QUE CARD APPLICATIONS The E-Que card may be used to connect FreeSpeak/CellCom antennas and splitters to an Eclipse matrix system.

5 INSTALLATION RECONNECTING THE CPU CARD’S BACKUP BATTERY MPORTANT: Before you install the Omega you must reconnect the CPU backup battery. The CPU card has a lithium backup battery that powers the CPU memory if the AC electricity fails. This backup battery is shipped disconnected to preserve battery life. When you receive the matrix, you must reconnect the battery. The matrix will operate if you do not reconnect the battery.
Before performing any service on the CPU card, you must disconnect the card’s battery. To do so, place the CON9 jumpers in the OFF position as described in the previous procedure. PIN STATUS 1 On 2 Common 3 Off Table 5-1: CON9 Pin Configuration If you are going to store the matrix for more than 3 months, or if you regularly turn off the power to the matrix, you need to temporarily deactivate the CPU backup battery while the matrix is stored.
• Shielded category-5 cables to connect to panels and interfaces. INSTALLING THE ECLIPSE OMEGA MATRIX The following overview gives you a summary of the steps required to install an Eclipse Omega matrix. More detailed information on each step is provided in the sections that follow. To install an Eclipse Omega matrix: 1. Remove the Eclipse Omega matrix chassis from its shipping carton. 2. Leave at least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance on all sides of the matrix chassis to ensure proper airflow.
1. Remove the desired blank rear panel by loosening the screws and pulling the panel out. The screws are attached and cannot be removed. 2. Install the new rear panel by sliding the card into the card’s guides at the top and bottom of the Eclipse Omega chassis. 3. Tighten all of the screws on the rear panel. To remove a rear panel from the matrix: 1. Detach any devices connected to the rear panel’s connectors. 2. Loosen the screws that hold the rear panel to the matrix.
VERIFYING THE CPU CARD INSTALLATION You can check the CPU card’s operating status by looking at the lights on the front of the card. The following lights indicate that the card has been properly installed in the matrix: • The two power-supply lights, labeled “+5V” and “+3.3V,” illuminate green steadily to indicate that the power supplies are present. • The dot-matrix array of lights displays a number to indicate which of the four stored configurations in the card’s memory is currently operating.
powered, having no effect on any part of the system operation, except to the card’s assigned sixteen ports. Communication to a card’s connected devices will be interrupted when that card is removed from the matrix. When the card is replaced, communication is restored. SLOT NUMBERING Each port and expansion card has circuitry to support 16 ports. A grid printed on the matrix’s rear panel gives the numbering scheme for the ports.
connect each AC input to a different mains AC branch, one power supply will continue to operate if the other supply’s mains AC branch opens. WIRING PANELS TO THE MATRIX Eclipse uses a 4-pair (analog) or single-pair (digital) wiring scheme between the matrix and panels. All Eclipse panels 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 panel.
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 and the panel. Note: Ensure that the “select” switch on the rear of the panel is in the correct position for the intended use.

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-matrix side of the DB-25 connector.) • For opto-isolated mode, fit the J1 jumper across pins 1 and 2. • For non-isolated mode, fit the J1 jumper across pins 2 and 3. Note: It is recommended that you set the connector to the fully opto-isolated mode. Opto-Isolated Mode Figure 5-10 shows the opto-isolated connection.
To cause an input to detect an active signal, you must send current from the relevant input pin. 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.
LOCAL AREA NETWORK CONNECTORS (LAN1 AND LAN2) The “LAN1” and “LAN2” connectors have standard Ethernet pin assignments.
6 MAINTENANCE INTRODUCTION The Eclipse Omega matrix system connects a complex network of microprocessor controlled devices. Due to the complexity of the system, you should limit field service to isolating a problem to the specific circuit board that may be causing the problem. Once the circuit board has been identified, it can be either repaired or replaced.
DUAL, INDEPENDENT POWER SUPPLIES The Eclipse Omega matrix includes two Euro Cassette power supply units. One power supply unit can power an entire matrix; the second unit provides a backup in case of an equipment failure. In addition, the two supplies have separate IEC connectors to AC mains power, and are designed for completely automatic and transparent changeover between supplies in the event of a power failure on one of the AC branches.
• The flow of data between the program software, the circuit cards, and the attached audio devices. The following sections discuss troubleshooting these two basic categories of problems. TROUBLESHOOTING POWER-SUPPLY PROBLEMS General Principles Electric current in the matrix starts at the power supplies, travels through the matrix’s backplane connectors, and then travels to the circuit cards themselves.
Specific Troubleshooting Examples Troubleshooting more specific problems becomes easier when keeping these general principles in mind. The following examples describe specific problems and suggested solutions. Problem: All of the power supply lights do not illuminate on one port card. Before repairing or replacing card, try to determine where the problem is occurring.
be substituted for the damaged one. Clear-Com will send you a matrix to use while the damaged one is being repaired. Problem: The power supply lights do not illuminate on one of the two CPU cards. When the system is functioning properly, the power-supply lights on both CPU cards illuminate. If the power-supply lights on a CPU card fail to illuminate, the problem may be with the card itself, or with the backplane connectors that carry the electric current from the power supplies to the cards.
TROUBLESHOOTING DATA PROBLEMS General Principles The other type of problem that can occur in the system is when data is not flowing properly between the program software, the circuit cards, and the attached panels and interfaces. A troubleshooting sequence in this situation would be to first check cabling, then reset the card or panel, then reset the entire system.
Note: Under normal operating conditions it is not necessary to perform a full reset. Technical personnel might perform a full restart if they believe that the CPU card is operating incorrectly as a result of corruption of the microproccessor’s internal data or instruction sequence. Specific Troubleshooting Examples The following examples describe specific problems and suggested solutions. Problem: A port light on a port card does not illuminate, although there is a panel attached to that port. 1.
