Eclipse-32 Matrix Instruction Manual

A fully equipped Eclipse-32 matrix requires 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60
Hz with a maximum dissipation of 400 watts.
BATTERY BACKUP
The Eclipse-32 matrix is fitted with a non-rechargeable battery to
maintain the system memory that stores the configuration maps and
other system data in the event of power failure or the unit being
switched off for a period of time.
The Eclipse-32 battery is normally a 1/2AA 3V VARTA 6127-201-301
and would be fitted on shipment. This has a capacity of 970mAh and a
life of approximately 252 days.
Note: If the matrix is stored for more than three months, or if the
AC power to the matrix is regularly turned off (as in Outside
Broadcast vans), a qualified service person should be
contacted to disconnect the CPU backup battery before
storing the matrix. Disconnecting the backup battery
preserves battery life. Only a qualified service person
should attempt to disconnect the battery. To contact a
qualified service person, please see the information in the
Warranty chapter.
WIRING THE MATRIX TO REMOTE DEVICES
The matrix holds the circuitry for connecting to, and communicating
with, the following:
• Thirty-two intercom panels or interfaces
• Eight general purpose outputs (GPOs or relays)
• Eight general purpose inputs (GPIs)
• Up to ten external GPI/RLY interfaces
• An additional Eclipse-32 matrix to form a 64-port linked system
• A local area network (LAN) connection for Ethernet-based
communication with a network
• An external computer
The following sections describe the wiring for these connections.
Note: The instruction manual “Installing an Eclipse Matrix
Installation Manual” (part 810298Z) gives complete details
about wiring remote devices to the matrix. The manual also
discusses RJ-45 cables and other types of cable required
for system installation.
