2 Introduction The Matrix Frame Installation Guide describes the steps required to install and configure an Eclipse HX matrix system. The Eclipse HX system is a digital point-to-point intercom platform, designed to seamlessly integrate your entire intercom infrastructure (digital, wireless, IP-based and analog intercom systems). The system comprises matrix frames, interface cards and modules, user panels and interface frames. The system is configured and managed using the highly intuitive software.
7 Connecting Matrices (Matrix frames) Provides information on connecting different matrices (matrix frames) together. Table 1: Chapters summary 2.2 Further information For more information about any of the Eclipse HX system components (devices) referenced in this guide (including matrix frames, interface cards, interface modules and software), see the specific documentation for that device or software. Eclipse HX documentation is available from: • Your product DVD-ROM.
3 Installation Overview This chapter provides a basic overview of the installation process for an Eclipse HX system. The system described in this chapter comprises: • An Eclipse HX matrix frame (either the 6RU Eclipse HX-Median or Eclipse HXOmega or the 3RU Eclipse HX-Delta matrix frames, or the 1RU Eclipse HX-PiCo matrix frame). • An external computer (PC), which hosts the Eclipse HX (EHX) configuration software.
3.1.2 Select locations for the system components Select locations for the Eclipse HX matrix frame, interface cards, interface modules, user panels, PC, and any other system components. The Eclipse HX (matrix frame) is the central connecting point of the system. All other devices are connected, either directly or indirectly, to the matrix, and this central role must be accounted for in your system topography.
The Eclipse HX-Pico uses a special null modem DB9 to 3.5 TRS. The HX-Median / HX-Omega /HX-Delta CPU card uses a straight serial cable. If the EHX computer does not have a serial port, but only provides USB connectors, adapters are available from computer parts suppliers. However, you will be required to install drivers for USB-toserial port connections. Important note: Because of compatibility issues with some products, Clear-Com does not recommend the use of USB-to-serial port connections.

External alarm Eclipse HX matrix frames have built-in fault alarm systems. If you want to use an additional remote alarm, relay contacts are available on the rear panel of the matrix (matrix frame).
Tip: For detailed information about installing a particular matrix (matrix frame) or interface frame in the rack, see the appropriate guide in the Eclipse HX documentation set. For matrix frames, see the: • Eclipse HX-Omega User Guide. • Eclipse HX-Median User Guide. • Eclipse HX-Delta User Guide. • Eclipse HX-PiCo User Guide. For interface frames, see your IMF-3 or IMF-102 documentation. 3.2.
I-Series panels I-Series panels have internal power supplies, with removable AC power cords. The power supplies are universal, operating over a voltage range of 90 - 245 VAC and 50 - 60 Hz. The maximum dissipation is 40 W. Note: Each panel must be plugged into an AC source at its location. Only connect power supply to earthed supply sockets. Ensure that the power supply is routed to avoid sharp bends, hot surfaces, pinches and abrasion. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

4 Locating System Components This chapter provides help with deploying (locating and arranging) the principal components of your Eclipse HX system, including: • Eclipse HX matrix frames (Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HXDelta and Eclipse HX-PiCo). • An external computer (for the EHX configuration software). • Interface frame(s) (the IMF-3 and IMF-102), which host interface modules. • User panels (either V-Series or I-Series panels). • Power supplies.
4.1.1 Locating the Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median and Eclipse HX-Delta The Eclipse HX-Omega and Eclipse HX-Median matrix frames each require six vertical rack units (6RU) (10.5 inches or 267 mm) in a standard Electronics Industry Association 19inch wide (48.26 cm) rack. The Eclipse HX-Delta matrix frame requires three vertical rack units (3RU) (5.25 inches or 134 mm) in the same 19-inch rack. Cooling the Omega / Median matrix frame Each matrix has two power supplies (one for redundancy).
4.1.2 Locating the Eclipse HX-PiCo The Eclipse HX-PiCo matrix (matrix frame) requires one vertical rack unit (1RU) (1.75 in. or 44.45 mm) in a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack. Cooling the matrix frame A temperature-controlled fan cools the Eclipse HX-PiCo and forces air through the unit horizontally. An alarm LED on the front panel of the Eclipse HX-PiCo alerts the system operator when the temperature-controlled fan activates.
PSU-101 power supply for the IMF-3 The frame uses an external PSU-101 rack-mounted power supply to supply power to the interface modules. A second PSU-101 can be attached for redundancy.

IMF-3 rear panel The IMF-3 frame has a rear panel for each interface module.
Environmental information: An extra rack unit (1RU) (1.75 in. or 44.45 mm) must be left above and below each external power supply unit. This enables cooling for larger system loads. 4.2.2 IMF-102 interface frame The IMF-102 is a 1RU interface frame, with slots for two interface modules. The IMF-102 has an internal power supply and a connector for a redundant power supply. The rear input/output connector panel has two RJ-45 connectors and DB-9 connectors for each of the two interface modules. Ch.
You can also connect the external computer to the matrix frame using a standard PC serial port to DB-9 RS-232 connector. The maximum recommended length of the cable is approximately 10 feet (3.04 meters). Note: The Eclipse HX-Pico uses a special null-modem DB9 to 3.5 TRS. The Eclipse HX-Median / HX-Omega / HX-Delta CPU card uses a straight serial cable. If the EHX computer does not have a serial port, but only provides USB connectors, adapters are available from computer parts suppliers.
5 Powering System Components This chapter provides guidance for providing power to the following components of the Eclipse HX system: • Eclipse HX matrix frames (Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HXDelta and Eclipse HX-PiCo). • Interface frame(s) (the IMF-3 and IMF-102), which host interface modules. • User panels (either V-Series or I-Series panels). Tip: For an overview of the entire installation process, see 3 Installation Overview. 5.
5.1.1 Eclipse HX-Omega and Eclipse HX-Median The Eclipse HX-Omega and HX-Median matrices (matrix frames) are supplied with two internal Euro Cassette plug-in power supplies. When both power supplies are connected to AC mains power (using the IEC power connectors on the rear panel), the matrix will continue to operate even if one of the AC power sources fails. A fully equipped Eclipse HX-Omega or HX-Median matrix requires 100 - 240 VAC at 50 - 60 Hz with a maximum dissipation of 300 W. 5.1.
5.2 Powering user panels 5.2.1 V-Series panels V-Series panels, including expansion panels, have an external DC power supply. The power supply is universal, operating over a voltage range of 100 - 240 VAC at 50 - 60 Hz. The maximum dissipation is 50W. 5.2.2 I-Series panels I-Series panels have an internal power supply, with a removable AC power cable. The power supply is universal, operating over a voltage range of 90 - 245 VAC and 50 - 60 Hz. The maximum dissipation is 40W. 5.
PSU-101 PSU-101 IMF-3 IMF-3 IMF-3 IMF-3 IMF-3 PSU-101 Figure 7:Example PSU-101 to IMF-3 connections Installing two PSU-101 power supplies for each IMF-3 provides redundancy, because either of the two PSU-101 power supplies can power a complete system. If one fails, it can be removed without interruption of the entire system. Rear panel connectors provide easy parallel connection to the IMF-3 interface frame. A PSU-101 requires 90 - 260 VAC at 45 - 65 Hz with a maximum dissipation of 80W.
5.3.2 IMF-102 The IMF-102 has an internal power supply and a rear panel connector for connecting redundant power. The power supply is universal, operating over a voltage range of 90 - 250 VAC. The maximum dissipation is 20W. Tip: An additional power supply can be added for redundancy by connecting a PSU-101 power supply to the power connector on the rear panel. For more information, see the IMF-102 Interface Module Instruction Manual. 5.3.
6 Wiring System Components This chapter describes how to connect an Eclipse HX matrix frame (Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Delta or Eclipse HX-PiCo) to other system components, including: • The EHX PC. • User panels (V-Series and I-Series). • Interface frames and interface modules. • External alarms. • Four-wire audio devices. • Analog partyline systems (including Clear-Com Encore).
6.1.1 Cabling standards The term category 5 (CAT5) refers to a communications cable standard that calls out transmission characteristics of twisted-pair cables for data communication use. For each increasing category (CAT) number the guaranteed bandwidth for data communication purposes increases. For the 4-pair wiring scheme between the frame panels, Eclipse HX uses the AT&T T568B wiring standard for data cables. Cables for use with Ethernet 10-BASE-T are of this type.
Tip: Test all cables thoroughly before connecting them. 6.1.2 Recommended cables, connectors and wiring tools Ensure that the type of RJ-45 connector matches the wire type. Connectors are available for both stranded and solid wire. Clear-Com intercom panels do not require keyed connectors. See the following table for connector vendor and port numbers.
The detailed procedure is as follows. To facilitate the installation of RJ-45 connectors: 1. Strip off enough of the outside vinyl jacket to be able to grip the wires inside easily (2 in. or 50.8 mm). While holding the four twisted pairs in one hand, slide back the vinyl jacket and clamp it between your thumb and forefinger. Keep the jacket clamped in this retracted position until the fourth step. 2. Pull the twisted pairs to the one side and untwist them back to the edge of the vinyl jacket.
6.2 Connecting the matrix frame to a PC running EHX The Eclipse configuration software (EHX) application is run on a PC. 6.2.1 Ethernet connection to the PC The computer is normally connected to the matrix frame using: • The LAN1 connector (a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connector) on the rear of an Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median or Eclipse HX-Delta matrix frame . Note: LAN1 is the default connector on the Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median and Ecliipse HX-Delta matrix frame .
Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Omega and Eclipse HX-Delta To connect the EHX PC to the matrix frame, run cable from the matrix’s R-232 DB-9M serial connector to the 9-pin serial port of the PC (see Figure 6: PC serial DB-9F to matrix frame R-232 DB-9M connector). The maximum recommended length of the cable is approximately 10 feet (3 meters). Tip: If the EHX computer does not have a serial port, and only offers USB, adaptors are generally available from computer parts suppliers.

6.3 Connecting the matrix frame to an Ethernet network To connect a matrix frame to an Ethernet network (WAN / LAN), use: • The LAN1 connector (a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connector) on the rear of an Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median or Eclipse HX-Delta matrix frame. Note: LAN1 is the default connector on the Eclipse HX-Omega / Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-Delta matrix frame .
6.4 Connecting the matrix frame to a PC running Production Maestro Pro Production Maestro Pro is the is a multi-user, multi-matrix PC based software package which provides fast, intuitive audio routing control for Eclipse HX systems. Tip: For more information, see http://www.clearcom.com/product/digital-matrix/software/production-maestro-pro 6.4.1 LMC-64 interface card Access to the audio level metering functionality of Production Maestro Pro is usually achieved using the LMC-64 interface card.

6.6 General Purpose Outputs (GPOs) A general purpose output (GPO) or relay is a switch that is controlled remotely.The relay is programmed in EHX to close a contact whenever a user panel’s key is pressed. When the contact is closed, it completes an electronic circuit’s signal path so that a remote device (such as a light) is powered. A GPO can be programmed to mute a speaker, to turn on an applause light, open a door lock, or perform a variety of other functions.

6.7 General Purpose Inputs (GPIs) You can connect an external logic device (such as an external foot switch, a panel-mounted switch, or the logic output of some other device) to the connector labeled GP IN on the rear of the Eclipse HX matrix frame. When the external logic device is activated, it sends a control signal into the matrix to perform one of several preset functions, such as turning an intercom panel’s microphone on or off, muting a microphone’s output, or turning a panel’s speaker off.

6.7.1 Modes for General Purpose Inputs (GPIs) General-purpose inputs (GPIs) operate in either of two modes: • Opto-isolated mode, which requires the externally connected equipment to provide the current to power the general-purpose input. • Non-isolated mode, which means that the externally connected equipment is not required to power the general-purpose input. A voltage output on the GP IN connector supplies the current.
Non-isolated mode Note: The non-isolated mode is the default mode, when the matrix frame leaves the factory. Figure 14: Non-isolated connection to Eclipse GPI connector To cause an input to detect an active signal, current must flow 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.
6.8 E & M signalling with an E-QUE E1 / T1 interface card When you enable E & M signaling on an E1 / T1 direct E-QUE card, you associate a GPI and a GPO in EHX with each configured port. You can use the: • GPI (General Purpose Input) to trigger an action / control on an incoming signalization. • GPO (General Purpose Output) to trigger an outgoing signalization from a control. 6.8.
In Figure 15: Ship-to-Shore E & M signaling, E & M signaling is carried with audio channels on the direct T1 connection and then split into logic functions in the matrix frame: 1. The direct E1 / T1 connection ( (the incoming E & M signal ( system. ) carries audio and E & M signaling )) from the on-shore communications 2. The E & M signal is received by the E-QUE card in the system frame (matrix), and treated as a GPI by the matrix. 3.
4. Click Card Properties (to the right of the ports screen). 5. In Card Properties > Clock Recovery, ensure that Line recovery is selected. 6. In Card Properties > Codec, select the appropriate Top Half and Bottom Half Codec. Note: Top Half (T1 direct = ports 1 – 24 / E1 direct = ports 1 – 30) and Bottom Half (T1 direct = ports 25 – 48 / E1 direct = ports 31– 60) correspond to the two physical T1 / E1 connections with the E-QUE card.
6.8.3 Using the GPIs / GPOs to trigger actions After enabling E & M signaling on the E1 / T1 E-QUE cards, you can use the GPIs / GPOs associated with the configured ports to trigger actions. For example, in 1.1.1 Example: Ship-to-shore satellite system: 1. The E & M signal from the shore-based communications system ( ) is forwarded by the matrix to the FOR-22 interface module. The FOR-22 module then generates relay closure for radio PTT (Push-to-Transmit). 2.
d. Label the second control REC1. e. Add the Radio In route to REC1. f. Add the E & M relay / GPO (the relay associated with the first configured port on the E1 / T1 direct E-QUE card) to REC1. Note: This relay receives the E & M signal from the ship’s radio into the matrix. 4. In Configuration > Cards and Ports > Frame and Module GPIs: a. Select the appropriate E & M enabled GPI (the GPI associated with the first configured port on the E1 / T1 direct E-QUE card). b.
6.9 Connecting the matrix frame to an external alarm You can connect the Eclipse HX-Omega / Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-Delta matrix frame to an external alarm device using the Alarm I/O DB-9F connector. Pins are also available for connecting an external alarm source to the matrix frame’s internal Alarm System. Tip: For details on the functions that are monitored by the Alarm System, see the Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median or Eclipse HX-Delta User Guides.
6.10 Connecting to a four-wire audio device An external four-wire audio device can be directly connected to a port connector through the four audio pins. If there is excessive noise on the lines between the device and the matrix, the device may be electronically unbalanced with the rest of the system. The device must be isolated with external isolation transformers. The CALL SEND output can be connected to the CALL REC input to tell the system software that this is a directly connected port.
The following figure shows the pin assignments of RJ-45 connectors when used to connect to interface frames (such as an IMF-3 frame): Figure 19: Matrix to IMF-3 interface frame connection For Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median and Eclipse HX-Pico, if the GPI/RLY port is used a ferrite core must be added to the socket end of the cable. A suitable ferrite core is Würth Electronik part: 74271132. Note: Shielded cable should be used, where possible.
6.11.
A FOR-22 interface connects to an Eclipse HX matrix frame through the two RJ-45 connectors on its rear panel. The top RJ-45 is for the first channel of the interface module. The lower RJ-45 is for the second channel. The user side of the FOR-22 for each channel appears on a DB-9M connector on the rear of the IMF-3 or IMF-102 frame. Each channel is identical. The following sections describe how to wire for the various types of inputs and outputs available on the DB-9M connector: • External audio devices.
6.11.2 Wiring schemes for the CCI-22 interface module The CCI-22 interface module connects two 2-wire full-duplex partyline circuits to the matrix frame . In the same way as the FOR-22, the CCI-22 dual audio interface module uses both the RJ-45 connectors on its rear panel for connection to the matrix frame (See also 6.11.1 Wiring schemes for the FOR-22 interface module ). The top RJ-45 is for the first channel of the interface. The lower RJ-45 is for the second channel.

6.11.4 Wiring schemes for TEL-14 interface modules The TEL-14 telephone interface module connects two telephone lines to the matrix frame (matrix0. The interface can be used to: • Establish IFB connections between the main intercom and remote production trucks. • Link intercom communication between remote systems. • Enable telephone calls directly to or from any intercom panel in an Eclipse system. The TEL-14 uses each of the RJ-45 connectors on its rear panel for connection to a matrix port.

6.11.5 Wiring scheme for the RLY-6 interface module The RLY-6 interface module provides six fully programmable SPDT (single pole, double throw) relay outputs, to support dedicated switching functions external to the matrix frame . RLY-6 interfaces can be: • Daisy chained to provide connection of up to 60 relays to the matrix. • Mixed with GPI-6 modules up to the total limit of 60 items. Five RLY-6 and five GPI-6 modules would provide 30 relays and 30 inputs for a total of 60 inputs and outputs.

Wiring external devices to an RLY-6 interface module To connect external devices to an RLY-6 interface module, use the two DB-9M connectors on the rear cable assembly panel for the interface module. For the pin assignment of these connectors as viewed from the frame side of the connector, see Figure 23: RLY-6 DB-9M connector pinout. If a DB-9F is plugged into the connector labeled CH. A I/O, relays 1 to 3 are available on that connector. The connector labeled CH. B I/O has the contacts for relays 4 to 6.

Each input can be wired to be isolated from each other as a further variation. Wiring the GPI-6 to an IMF-102 interface frame The wiring of a GPI-6 interface that is placed in an IMF-102 interface frame is the same as the wiring for a GPI-6 interface placed in an IMF-3 interface frame.
7 Connecting Matrix Frames You can connect your Eclipse HX matrix frames together, to expand the geographical range or the port density of a system. You can connect: • Up to 64 Eclipse HX matrix frames (Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Delta and Eclipse HX-PiCo) using trunk lines and an Ethernet network. • Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median and Eclipse HX-Delta matrix frames using E-FIB fiber interface cards and fiber-optic cable.
7.1.1 Intelligent linking with trunk lines As many as 15 separate Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Delta and Eclipse HX-PiCo matrix frames can be intelligently linked, using dedicated audio trunk lines and an Ethernet network. Audio travels between the matrices on the dedicated trunk lines, while control data travels on the Ethernet network.
The matrix is connected to an Ethernet network with the RJ-45 sockets labeled: • LAN 1 and LAN 2 on the rear of the Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median or Eclipse HX-Delta. • The RJ-45 socket labeled LAN on the rear of the Eclipse HX-PiCo. Note: Also applies to the E-32 matrix, the immediate predecessor of the Eclipse HX-PiCo. The connectors have standard Ethernet pin assignments (see Figure 31: LAN 1 and LAN 2 Ethernet connectors and Table 20: LAN 1 and LAN2 Ethernet connectors pinout).

Tip: The matrices are configured for linking using EHX. For more information, see your EHX documentation (including EHX Help). 7.3 Tie-line (audio only) linking You can directly connect two Eclipse HX matrix frames through tie-line linking. The tie lines between the matrices are wired as in Figure 27: Dedicated serial port audio trunk wiring. By configuring each of the linked ports in each system as a partyline, the two systems can talk and listen to anyone on that partyline in either system.
7.4.1 E1 trunk connections You can use the E-QUE interface card to make E1 connections between Eclipse systems or between Eclipse systems and compatible third-party equipment. E1 mode provides 30 channels of G.722 encoded audio available on each of ports 1 and 5, giving 60 channels per card. The E1 specifications are: • HDB3 Encoding. • Long Haul Receive Signal Level. • E1 120 Ohm Transmit Pulse Amplitude. • Balanced. • 120 Ohm Line Impedance. • No Signaling. • G.722 64 kbit/s Audio Encoding.
Figure 32: Matrix to Matrix direct E1 Trunking E1 trunking between matrices can also be achieved over an E1 network, as shown Figure 30: E1 Trunking with an E1 Network. In this case E1 ports 1 and 5 of the E-QUE interface are connected using standard straightthrough CAT5 cables rather than crossover CAT5 cables.
Figure 33: E1 Trunking with an E1 Network The E-QUE interface can also be used to connect the matrix to third party equipment using E1 port 1 or 5.
The CAT5 cable connecting the E1 port on the E-QUE rear card may be a crossover cable or a straight-through cable depending on the requirements of the third party equipment.The E-Que interface should be set to Direct in EHX. 7.4.2 T1 trunking The E-QUE interface card can provide T1 trunking between Eclipse HX systems and between Eclipse HX systems and compatible third-party equipment. T1 mode provides 24 channels of G.722 encoded audio are available on each of ports 1 and 5, giving 48 channels per card.
Figure 35: Matrix to Matrix T1 Trunking T1 trunking between matrices can also be achieved over a E1 network as shown in Figure 33: T1 Trunking using a E1 Network . In this case T1 ports 1 and 5 of the E-QUE rear card are connected using standard straightthrough CAT5 cables rather than crossover CAT5 cables.
Figure 36: T1 Trunking using a E1 Network E1/T1 trunking failover Where the E1/T1 trunking has been configured with redundant trunks audio will be switched from the primary trunk to the backup trunk when a failure is detected. When failover occurs from primary to backup there will be a three second audio break on any route running over the trunk. If the trunk routing is later switched back from the backup trunk to the primary trunk there will be no loss of audio. 7.
Each fiber card link comprises: • A front card with status indicators. • A rear card with two Duplex LC terminated fiber optic connectors (TXVRA and TXVRB). E-FIB cards use 9/125µ single mode fiber optic cables. On the rear card, the TX1/RX1 connector is used for the main ring and the TX2/RX2 connector is used for the secondary ring. Single mode 9/125µ fiber optic cable should be used for connections and the matrices should be wired up with the system, with the lowest IP address being system 1.
