INSTALLATION

This manual describes how to install an Eclipse matrix system.

Each product manual in the Eclipse set gives additional installation information.

OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION

The Eclipse Matrix Installation Instruction Manual describes the steps required to install an Eclipse matrix system and customize it. The manual provides information about placing, powering, and wiring components of the Eclipse system.

It is highly recommended that the instruction manual for the matrix to be installed is read before attempting an installation. That manual describes the specific Eclipse system hardware and defines many of the concepts used in the system. An overall understanding of the system is necessary to make maximum use of its vast capabilities.

Caution: Servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only .

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

The information in this manual is presented as follows:

Chapter 1. Installation Overview: Step-By-Step Installation Information

The first chapter provides a step-by-step installation guide for the components of the Eclipse matrix system as received from the factory.

Chapter 2. Placing System Components

The second chapter describes the Eclipse matrix system’s component location requirements, including a summary of component sizes.

Chapter 3. Powering System Components

The third chapter provides guidelines for providing AC power to the system and for planning the powering of interface frames.

Chapter 4. Wiring System Components

The fourth chapter gives an overview of the various wiring systems for connecting panels and interfaces to the matrix. This chapter contains reference information necessary to wire all connectors in the Eclipse system. However, many of the components have internal jumpers and adjustments. Information on internal jumpers, adjustments, and device specifications can be found in the individual manuals for each component.

STEP-BY-S TEP INSTALLATION

To install an Eclipse matrix system:

1. Verify the shipment.

2. Select locations for the components.

3. Determine the wiring requirements.

4. Install components in rack.

5. Install cables.

6. Connect cable and auxiliary wiring.

7. Connect to mains AC Power.

8. Configure the system with the Eclipse Configuration System (ECS)

software.

9. Verify the operation of the system.

1. Verify the Shipment

When the equipment is received inspect the boxes for shipping damage. Report any shipping damage to the carrier. The Eclipse matrix system distributor is not responsible for shipping damage.

Check the packing list and verify that every item on the list has been received. Pay special attention to options that have been installed in intercom panels. Panel options are printed on each p anel’ s rear cove r.

Save all packing materials (boxes, S tyrofoam filler, etc.), since they will be needed if any item must be returned because it was shipped by mistake, because of malfunction, or for warranty service.

2. Select Locations for the Components

Select locations for the central matrix, intercom panels, interface modules, computer , and an y othe r system components. For additional information on limitations imposed on location by the Eclipse matrix system see Chapter 2, “Placing System Components.”

3. Determine the Wiring Requirements

Eclipse requires shielded category-5 (CAT5) cable with RJ-45 connectors on either end; however, there are various methods available to deliver these cables from one place to another. For more information on RJ-45 connectors and their installation, refer to Chapter 4, “Wiring System Components.”

All Eclipse panels have built-in RJ-45 connectors. Shielded CAT5 cables are available with RJ-45 terminations already installed. Bulk RJ-45 connectors can be bought and installed on custom length cables.

4. Install Components in Rack

Install the matrix in a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch wide (48.26 cm) equipment rack. The matrix requires adequate ventilation. Leave at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) of clearance on all sides of the matrix to ensure proper airflow. Do not block ventilation vents.

Check the position of circuit cards, power supplies, and rear-connector panels. Refer to the appropriate manual in the Eclipse set of manuals for detailed information on installing a particular frame in the rack.

• For matrices, refer to the Eclipse Omega Matrix Instruction Manual

(part 810290Z), the Eclipse Median Matrix Instruction Manual (part 810347Z), the Eclipse Pico Matrix Instruction Manual (part 810348Z) or the Eclipse-32 Matrix Instruction Manual (part 810315Z) as appropriate for complete installation requirements.

• For interface frames, refer to the appropriate instruction manual for either the IMF-3, IMF-102, or DIF-102 interface frame (part 810313Z).

5. Install Cables

Install the wiring between the Eclipse matrix and the system components. Usually the connectors are wired to the cables after the cables are routed. For further information refer to Chapter 4, “Wiring System Components.”

Install the DC power cables that connect the power supply or supplies to the IMF-3 interface frame. Connect the mains AC power cables for the matrix frame and each panel. For further information refer to Chapter 3, “Powering System Components.”

6. Connect Cables and Auxiliary Wiring

There are several different types of wiring necessary to connect an Eclipse system. The following is a summary of the subjects.

Analog Panel Wiring - Connect the intercom panels to the matrix using shielded CAT5 4-twisted pair cables with RJ-45 connectors. At each panel there may be other connector wiring necessary depending on the options and accessories installed.

Digital Panel Wiring - The DIF-102 interface frame holds two DIG-2 interface modules. Each DIG-2 interface module connects two digital intercom panels to the matrix. Connect the intercom panels to the DIG-2 interface using double shielded (braid and foil) 24 AWG conductor CAT-6 enhanced STP cable (CAT-6E) with RJ-45 connectors. At each panel there may be other connector wiring necessary depending on the options and accessories installed.

Interface Wiring - Connect the interface modules to the matrix using shielded CAT5 4-twisted pair cables with RJ-45 connectors. Each interface type requires particular wiring schemes on the DB-9

connectors on the rear of the associated IMF-3 frame per the actual application. Special interfaces such as the RLY-6 and GPI-6 are connected directly via an RJ-45 connector on the rear of the matrix to the appropriate interface input connector on an IMF-3 frame.

External Computer - To connect the computer to the Eclipse matrix, use the supplied DB-9 cable or a commercially available shielded RS-232 cable. If an RS-232 cable is used, be sure it provides the connections described in "Wiring for Serial Connection" in Chapter 4.

Note: If the ECS computer does not have a serial port, but only

offers USB, adapters are available from computer parts suppliers.

The matrix can be connected to an Ethernet network through the two standard RJ-45 Ethernet connectors labeled LAN 1 and LAN 2 on the Eclipse matrix. Ethernet connection allows one or more matrices to be controlled from one or more computers on a network. See Chapter 4 for more information.

Note: If these ports are used a ferrite must be added to the socket

end of each cable. A suitable ferrite is Würth Electronik part:

74271132.

Note: Shielded CAT-5 cable should be used.

External Alarm Connection - Eclipse matrices have built-in fault alarm systems. If it is desirable to repeat this alarm with some remote alarm, relay contacts are available on the matrix frame’s rear panel. If some external alarm condition needs to be added to the frame’s alarm system, the same connector on the rear panel

ALARM I/O will allow an

external contact closure to be connected to the frame’s alarm system.

Note: Shielded cables should be used.

7. Connect to Mains AC Power

Each component of the Eclipse system requires AC power except for the IMF-3 and some expansion panels. The IMF-3 requires an externa l power supply. The XP-type expansion panels receive power from the panels to which they are connected.

Matrices

Eclipse matrices have two separate AC power connectors for two separate power supplies in the system. Either power supply will completely power a system, providing 100% power redundancy. If the two power supplies are connected to different AC power sources and one of the power supplies loses power, the other will continue to operate the system.

Clear-Com Communication Systems Eclipse Matrix Installation Instruction Manual

AC voltage for the matrices and the PSU-101 can be 100 to 240 VAC without any switching or fuse changes.

Panels

V -Series Panels

Each V-Series panel (V12LD, V12PD, V24LD, V24PD, V12LDD, V12PDD, V12LDE, V12PDE) has an external power supply. AC voltage for these panels can be 100 to 240 VAC without any switching or fuse changes.

4000 Series II Panels

Each 4000 Series II panel (4212, 4215, 4222, 4224, 4226, 4294, 4203, 4206, 4230, 4230V) has an external power supply. AC voltage for these panels can be 100 to 240 VAC without any switching or fuse changes.

ICS Panels and i-Stations

Each ICS-2003 and ICS-1016 panel has an external power supply. A bracket has been provided to mount this external supply if ne cessary. AC voltage for these panels can be 90 to 260 VAC without any switching or fuse changes.

The ICS-102/92/62/52 panels have wall-mounted transformers for 110 VAC and in-line transformers for 220 VAC. Confirm that the correct ones have been supplied for the installation.

The i-St ations have internal power supplies, with removable AC power cords. The power supplies are “universal,” operating over a voltage range of 90 to 245 VAC and 50 to 60 Hz. The maximum dissipation is 40 W.

Each panel will need to be plugged into an AC source at its location.

8. Configure the System

The Eclipse Configuration System (ECS) programming software allows the system to be configured for the operating environment. With this software a system administrator can assign port or panel names, declare interface port functions, assign “labels” to keys on panels, and perform many other functions. Refer to the Eclipse Configuration System Manual for instructions on using the software.

9. Verify the Operation of the System

Once the system is configured, a detailed check of each panel, interface connection, control function, and other features should be performed. Each audio path, relay output, and control input needs to be exercised to verify proper operation. Each software function, such as Party Lines, ISO, and IFB must be verified. Each installation is different, so it is beyond the scope of this manual to outline in detail this phase.

COMPONENTS

COMPONENT LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

This chapter provides guidelines for placing and arranging the main components of an Eclipse system, including:

• Eclipse matrices

• Interface frame(s) and power supplies

• Intercom panels and accessory panels

• External computer

ECLIPSE MATRICES

The Eclipse matrix is the central connecting point of the system. All panels, interfaces, and external devices must be connected directly to the Eclipse matrix, so it should be centrally located. The system matrix may be an Eclipse Omega, Eclipse Median, Eclipse Pico or an Eclipse-32, depending on site requirements.

A matrix should be placed in the center portion of a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch wide (48.26 cm) rack, allowing easy access to the matrix’s port connectors. Some planning is also necessary for the dressing of cables in the rack because of the large number of cables.

Note: A “rack unit” refers to a standardized unit of space in an

Electronics Industry Association equipment rack. One rack unit is 1.75 inches high and 19 inches wide (or 482.6 mm by

44.45 mm). Each increasing “rack unit” adds 1.75 inches to the area vertically, while staying at 19 inches horizontally.

Eclipse Omega Matrix

The Eclipse Omega matrix requires six vertical rack units (10.5 inches or 267 mm) in a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch wide (48.26 cm) rack. There are two power supplies in each matrix. A modular removable alarm module fitted beneath the two power supplies has two fans that deliver forced air cooling. The primary fan runs continuously. If the temperature in the matrix exceeds a set threshold and extra cooling is required, a secondary fan switches on to increase the air flow in the matrix.

Clear-Com Communication Systems Eclipse Matrix Installation Instruction Manual

2-1

lights allow the system operator to identify and correct the alarm conditions. See the Eclipse Omega Matrix Instruction Manual (part 810290Z) for more details.

Caution: It is mandatory that the air flow through an Eclipse Omega

matrix from the bottom to the top is unimpeded. If other equipment is mounted above and below the matrix that impedes the air flow through the matrix, it will be necessary to leave 1 RU of empty space above and below the Eclipse Omega matrix as over-heating will occur if this is not done. If the matrix is mounted in a portable case th is air flow must not be impeded.

Eclipse Median Matrix

The Eclipse Median matrix requires six vertical rack units (10.5 inches or 267 mm) in a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch wide (48.26 cm) rack. There are two power supplies in each matrix. A modular removable alarm module fitted beneath the two power supplies has two fans that deliver forced air cooling. The primary fan runs continuously. If the temperature in the matrix exceeds a set threshold and extra cooling is required, a secondary fan switches on to increase the air flow in the matrix.

The “fan-on” alarm light on the front of the alarm module illuminates red to indicate that the secondary fan is on. The red “fan-fail” alarm light illuminates when either fan stops rotating correctly. These alarm lights allow the system operator to identify and correct the alarm conditions. See the Eclipse Median Matrix Instruction Manual (part 810347Z) for more details.

Caution: It is mandatory that the air flow through an Eclipse Median

matrix from the bottom to the top is unimpeded. If other equipment is mounted above and below the matrix that impedes the air flow through the matrix, it will be necessary to leave 1 RU of empty space above and below the Eclipse Median matrix as over-heating will occur if this is not done. If the matrix is mounted in a portable case th is air flow must not be impeded.

Eclipse Pico Matrix

The Eclipse Pico matrix requires one vertical rack unit (1.75 in. or

44.45 mm) in a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch

(48.26 cm) rack. A temperature-controlled fan cools the Eclipse Pico and forces air through the unit horizontally. An alarm light on the front panel of the Eclipse Pico alerts the system operator when the temperature-controlled fan activates.

2-2

Clear-Com Communication Systems

Eclipse Matrix Installation Instruction Manual

Caution: It is mandatory that the air flow across an Eclipse Pico

matrix is unimpeded. The air flow in a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack should be sufficient. If the matrix is mounted in a portable case, be sure the air flow is not impeded.

Eclipse-32 Matrix

The Eclipse-32 matrix requires one vertical rack unit (1.75 in. or 44.45 mm) in a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack. A temperature-controlled fan cools the Eclipse-32 and forces air through the unit horizontally. An alarm light on the front panel of the Eclipse-32 alerts the system operator when the temperature-con trolled fan activates.

Caution: It is mandatory that the air flow across an Eclipse-32 matrix

is unimpeded. The air flow in a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack should be sufficient. If the matrix is mounted in a portable case, be sure the air flow is not impeded.

INTERFACE FRAME(S) AND POWER SUPPLIES

Interface modules convert the 4-wire signals of a central matrix port to some other form of communication, such as for telephones, camera intercoms, two-way radios, and so on. In this way, non-4-wire devices can communicate with the central matrix.

Each interface module connects to both the central matrix and to the non-4-wire device through cable attached to hardware connectors on the rear of the interface module. To house these interface modules, Clear-Com offers three types of interface frames, which are described in the following sections.

IMF-3 Interface Module Frame

The IMF-3 interface frame holds up to 11 interface modules in three rack units (3 RU) of a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch wide (48.26 cm) rack. The frame holds a modular, rear-mounted connector panel for each interface, containing two RJ-45 connectors for connecting cable to matrix ports, and two DB-9 connectors for connecting cable to non-4-wire devices. Figure 2-1illustrates the rear panel of an IMF-3 interface frame, with 11 rear-panel assemblies installed.

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.

Figure 2-1: IMF-3 Interface Frame Rear Panel

Note: The IMF-3 frame has an individual rear panel for each

interface. All interfaces use the same rear panel; however the use of the rear-panel connectors will vary with the type of interface.

Each interface features indicators and controls that must be accessible to system operators, so put the interface module frame(s) in a convenient location. Usually interface module frames are located near the matrix frame, but they can be located farther away. The maximum distance between the matrix frame and the interface frame is 500 feet (150 meters).

Each Eclipse frame contains its own power supplies and does not supply any power for interfaces. A separate power supply (PSU-101) is only necessary for interfaces mounted in IMF-3 frames. If redundant power supply pairs are used for interfaces, mount them together. For detailed information on power supply requirements, refer to Chapter 3, “Powering System Components”.

It is required that an extra rack unit (1.75 in. or 44.45 mm) is left above and below each external power supply unit. This allows for needed cooling for larger system loads.

IMF-102 Interface Module Frame

The IMF-102 interface frame has slots for two interface modules in one rack unit (1 RU) of a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch wide (48.26 cm) rack.

It has an internal power supply and a connector for a redundant power supply . It s rear input/output connector panel has two RJ-45 connectors and DB-9 connectors for each of the two interface modules. Figure 2-2 illustrates the rear panel of an IMF-102 interface frame, with two installed rear-panel assemblies.

DIF-102 Interface Module Frame

The DIF-102 interface frame has slots for two digital DIG-2 interface modules in one rack unit (1 RU) of a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack. DIG-2 interface modules allow the matrix to connect to digital versions of Clear-Com intercom p anels.

The DIF-102 frame is powered by one or two (for redundancy) external AC mains to 24 VDC power supplies via locking DIN connectors on the DIF-102 rear panel. All other voltages are derived directly or indirectly from the 24 VDC on the DIG-2 front and rear cards.

The DIF-102 should be located in the same building as the Eclipse frame. It can be located up to 3000 feet (1000 meters) from an Eclipse frame.

INTERCOM PANELS AND EXPANSION PANELS

Locate all intercom panels at comfortable heights for operation. Leave at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) of clearance behind the panel chassis to allow for cable connectors. In some low-light conditions, the front-panel display for the ICS-2003 may be too bright. Refer to the ICS-2003 manual for “display brightness adjustment” (part 810303Z).

Accessory panels such as the XPL, AP, or EXP that are intended to expand or enhance the operation of panels are usually mounted just above or below the panel with which they are associated. They can be located up to 25 ft. (7.62 m) away from the panel. A 6-ft. (1.8 m) cable is supplied to connect them.

Expansion panels such as the V12LDE, V12PDE, PD4203, PD4206, PD4230 and PD4230V may be mounted as required.

Panels should not be more than 3,000 ft. (1000 m) from the Eclipse matrix frame to which they are connected.

EXTERNAL COMPUTER

The Eclipse Configuration System (ECS) runs on an external computer that connects to the matrix frame via a standard PC serial port to a DB-9 RS-232 connector. The maximum recommended length of the cable is approximately 10 feet (3.04 meters).

Note: If the ECS computer does not have a serial port, but only

offers USB, adapters are available from computer parts suppliers.

ECS can also use an Ethernet network connected to the frame through the two standard RJ-45 Ethernet connectors labeled LAN 1 and LAN 2. Ethernet connection allows single or multiple PCs on the network to control, configure, monitor, and diagnose single or multiple matrices.

Each matrix is equipped with two power supplies that can be connected to separate branches of AC mains, providing redundancy for the power supplies and the power sources.

COMPONENTS

POWER REQUIREMENTS

Power requirements differ for each component of an Eclipse system. This chapter gives guidelines for providing power to the following components:

• Matrices

• V-Series panels

• 4000 Series II panels

• i-Series intercom panels

• ICS-2003 intercom panels

• ICS-1008/ICS-1016 intercom panels

• ICS-52/62/92/102 intercom panels

• XPL-12/22 display expansion panels and AP-22 assignment panels

• Interface frames

MATRICES

Electrical power for an Eclipse Omega, Median or Pico matrix or for an Eclipse-32 matrix originates from AC mains line current, which in turn provides power to the matrix’s internal DC power supplies. Each matrix is equipped with two power supplies that can be connected to separate branches of AC mains, providing redundancy for the power supplies and the power sources.

If an AC power source shuts off for any reason, a matrix can continue to operate from the second AC power source. If one power supply fails, a matrix can continue to operate from the second supply.

If one of the two DC power supplies fails, an “alarm” failure condition will activate to provide the system operator with an opportunity to repair or replace the supply while the second supply powers the system.
