Please read and follow these
instructions before operating
an ICS-2003 intercom panel.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For your safety, it is important to read and follow these instructions
before operating an ICS-2003 intercom panel:
(1) WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose an ICS-2003 intercom panel to rain or moisture. Do not
operate an ICS-2003 intercom panel near water, or place objects
containing liquid on it. Do not expose an ICS-2003 intercom panel to

as a radiator, heat register, stove, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produces heat. Do not place naked flame sources such
as candles on or near an ICS-2003.
(4) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades, with one blade wider than the
other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
(5) Protect the power plug from being walked on or pinched particularly
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the ICS-2003 chassis.
(6) Only use attachments/accessories specified by Clear-Com
Communication Systems.
(7) Unplug the ICS-2003 panel during lightning storms or when unused
for long periods of time.
(8) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when:
• The ICS-2003 panel has been damaged in any way, such as when
a power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
• Liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the ICS-2003
panel’s chassis.
• The ICS-2003 panel has been exposed to rain or moisture.
• The ICS-2003 panel does not operate normally.
• The ICS-2003 panel has been dropped.
Please familiarize yourself with the safety symbols in Figure 1. When
you see these symbols on an ICS-2003 intercom panel, they warn you
of the potential danger of electric shock if the panel is used improperly.

Talk Window
The talk window is located directly above the selectors, and shows the
currently assigned labels. Assigned labels are accessed when the
selector is pushed or latched in the “talk” position (down). Each
selector can be assigned as many as four labels. Each label can
Clear-Com Communication Systems
ICS-2003 Intercom Panel Instruction Manual
represent a talk path to a panel, interface, fixed group, or party line, or
can activate a programmable control function.
Listen Window
The listen window is located directly above the talk window. It contains
one listen label per selector. Labels refer to the listen paths that are
established when the selector is pushed up.
Answer-Back Window
The answer-back window is located above the “Answer Back” selector.
It displays a list of as many as five incoming calls. The first caller’s
label is closest to the “Answer Back” selector and is highlighted.
Subsequent calls are placed to the right of the first in the window. This
list is called the answer-back stack.
Message Window
The message window displays panel status and error messages.
Symbol Window
The symbol window displays two graphic symbols. The functions of the
two symbols are as follows:
• Ear symbol—indicates when someone is listening to (monitoring) the
panel.
• Window-indication symbol—displays a W (for window) and a Roman
numeral I or II to indicate which talk/listen window is active, as
toggled by the “Swap” button (See “Swap Button (9)” on page 14.).
Non-Displaying Characters
Certain Latin characters that may be present in a label will not be
displayed on the ICS-2003 display screen and will be replaced by
spaces. These characters are:
• ` (grave) is displayed as a space
• | (bar) is displayed as a space
• _ (underscore) is displayed as a space
• ~ (asciitilde) is displayed as a space
• { (braceleft) is displayed as a space
• } (braceright) is displayed as a space
• ¬ (logicalnot) is displayed as a space
Users should avoid the use of these characters in labels that may be
configured on ICS-2003 panels as the replacement of the characters
with spaces could cause operator errors.

• It will display the message “WAITING FOR ECLIPSE
CONNECTION.”
• All of the red LEDs will flash slowly.
When data communication is restored, the panel will automatically
return to normal operation.
Speaker/Headset Level Controls
To adjust the speaker or headset volume, use the “Intercom” and
“Program” volume controls. The speaker volume can also be affected
by three software-controlled functions: Page Override, Mute Level, and
Listen Level Adjustment.
Intercom Volume
The “Intercom” volume control sets the overall level of all signals
coming from the matrix frame.
Program Volume
The “Program” volume control adjusts the volume of the signal coming
into the panel through the auxiliary input of the “Miscellaneous”
rear-panel connector.
Page Override
Page override is a special function in the panel in which the intercom
volume defaults to a preset to a value when commanded to by the
central matrix. Any fixed group can be assigned the page-override
function through the configuration program.
The configuration program determines preset value for each panel. If
the preset value is lower than the setting of the front-panel volume
control, the volume will be controlled by the front-panel control.
Mute Level
This turns down the speaker level when any talk is active at the panel.
The amount of muting (measured in dB) is set by the configuration
program for each panel. This function helps prevent possible feedback.
The maximum amount of muting is 15 dB below full volume. If the front
panel control is set below that level, then muting will have no effect.
Listen Level Adjustment
The level of any active listen path can be adjusted individually. Refer to
“Listen-Level Mode” on page 8.
Headset Connector
The headset connector provides a front-panel connection for a
headset. Plugging in a headset will initially cause the panel to switch to
headset-microphone operation and will turn the speaker off.
Unplugging the headset will cause the panel to switch to
panel-microphone operation and will turn the speaker on.

Talk/Listen Selectors and Indicators
The following section describes the operation of the talk/listen
selectors and their associated indicators.
Selector Operation
The selectors operate as both talk and listen selectors; they also work
as volume controls when the panel is in listen-level mode (see
“Listen-Level Mode” on page 8). Pressing a selector down accesses a
talk label; pushing it up accesses a listen label. Pushing the talk
selector down and quickly releasing it will “latch” the selector and the
talk path will stay active until it is pressed again. Pressing and holding
a talk selector causes the talk path to stay active only for as long as it is
held down. Listen selectors operate in the same manner.
To prevent the selector on the panel from latching in the talk position
(local latch disable), or to prevent any panel from latching a talk to the
panel (global latch disable) use the configuration program.
Talk and Listen Indicators
When a talk path is active, the selector’s red LED lights continuously.
When a listen path is active, the selector’s green LED lights
continuously.
Monitoring/Eavesdropping Indicators
If any other panel begins monitoring a panel a beep (the
monitoring-alert tone) will sound at the panel.
To inhibit the monitoring-alert tone, use the configuration program.
Call-Waiting Indicator
If a panel calls another panel with a selector programmed with the
caller’s label, the red LED will flash rapidly. This flashing is a
call-waiting tally. To answer the incoming call, push the indicated talk
selector. The call-waiting tally will be cleared when the call is answered
or after the call is terminated and the answer-back, auto-clear time out
lapses.
Regardless of whether a selection is programmed with a caller’s label,
the label will be placed in the answer-back stack (see “Removing
Labels from the Answer-Back Stack” on page 7).
In-Use Tally Indicator
If a selector is assigned to a label and another panel is currently using
that label, the LED will double-flash once per second to indicate the
label is in use. This tally must be enabled from the configuration
software.
Telephone Off-Hook Tally Indicator
When a telephone interface is assigned to a talk selector, the talk LED
will flash once per second if that telephone is off the hook. This tally
must be enabled from the configuration program.
Clear-Com Communication Systems
ICS-2003 Intercom Panel Instruction Manual
1-5
Radio Receiver Active Tally Indicator
When a two-way radio interface port is assigned to a talk selector, the
LED will flash once per second when that radio’s receiver is active.
This tally must be enabled from the configuration program.
Panel Connected Tally Indicator
This tally is used when a panel is connected to the frame by a
high-speed data line (such as an ISDN or T1 line) that might be
inactive periodically. The red LED of any talk selector associated with
that panel will flash once per second when the panel is on-line. This
tally must be enabled from the configuration program.
Audio Presence Tally Indicator
When a label is assigned to a listen selector, the LED will flash once
per second to indicate someone is talking on that channel. This tally
must be enabled from the configuration program.
Answer-Back Facility
The primary function of answer-back facility is to answer or call other
panels or interfaces not assigned to a panel’s selectors. Panels and
interfaces that are assigned to a panel’s selectors also can be
answered or called with the answer-back facility.
The following sections describe the use of the answer-back facility.
Answer-Back Window
The answer-back window is located above the “Answer Back” selector.
It displays a list of as many as five incoming calls. The first caller’s
label is closest to the “Answer Back” selector and is highlighted.
Subsequent calls are placed to the right of the first in the window. This
list is called the answer-back stack.
Answer-Back Selector
The “Answer Back” selector answers calls from panels and interfaces
that are both assigned and unassigned to the panel.
When a call arrives from a panel or interface:
• The calling panel’s label will be placed in the answer-back stack and
be highlighted in the answer-back window.
• The red LED will flash.
These two conditions will continue until the call is answered, or until
the answer-back time-out period lapses and the caller’s label is
automatically removed. To answer the call, push the “Answer Back”
selector. The LED will stay on steady, indicating an active talk path to
the caller. The talk path is active for as long as the selector is held.
Note: The “Answer Back” selector cannot be latched; it is a
momentary-only function.
1-6
Calls from panels or interfaces assigned to panel selectors will also be
indicated by their associated LEDs.
Clear-Com Communication Systems
ICS-2003 Intercom Panel Instruction Manual
Answer-Back Label Selection
If another call or calls comes in while using the answer-back selector:
• The user will hear the caller’s voice

Removing Labels from the Answer-Back Stack
Any label will be automatically removed from the stack if it is not
answered within a certain time interval, which is set by the
answer-back auto-clear time in the configuration program.
To manually remove the current caller’s label from the answer-back
stack, push up on the “Answer Back” selector.

SA (Studio/Stage Announce) Button (#)
This button functions only if the panel is equipped with the OPT-100
Auxiliary Audio Input/Output option. Pressing and holding the “SA”
button sends the microphone output to the studio announce output on
the Auxiliary Audio I/O connector. All other talk paths from the panel to
the matrix frame are turned off.
REAR-PANEL CONNECTORS
This section describes only those rear-panel functions directly affecting
normal panel operation. These include the functions available through
the “Miscellaneous” connector and those added by the use of the
“OPT-100 Auxiliary Audio” connector. The actual functions these inputs
and outputs perform depend on the installation of the individual panel.
This section only describes the general use of these functions.
Miscellaneous Connector
The Miscellaneous connector includes the following functions:
• Logic input #1
• Logic input #2
• Programmable relay
• Mute relay
Logic Input #1 and #2
Each input can control one of several functions, determined through
the configuration program. Typically, these inputs are connected to an
external foot switch, a panel-mounted switch, or the logic output of
another device.
The following functions are available:
• Mic On/Off—toggles the panel’s microphone on and off.
• Mute Mic Output To Frame—turns off the audio from the panel to the
frame. It does not turn off the Hot Mic output (described in
“OPT-100 Auxiliary Audio Option” on page 17).
• Mic Off —momentarily turns off the panel’s microphone.
• Answer Back Talk/Clear—functions the same as the panel’s “Answer
Back” selector. Holding down the switch activates a talk to a label
in the answer-back stack. To clear the label, quickly press and
release the switch.
• Studio Announce—sends the output of the panel’s selected
microphone (panel or headset) to the panel’s Studio Announce
(SA) audio output, and activates the SA relay. The microphone
output is not sent to the frame. The SA output and relay are only
present if the panel has the OPT-100 Auxiliary Audio I/O Option
installed. (The SA options are described in “OPT-100 Auxiliary
Audio Option” on page 17).

• Speaker OFF—turns off the panel speaker, disabling all audible
output from the panel.
• PTT: Activate All Talk Keys—implements a push-to-talk function for all
talk selectors. When the logic input is active, the panel operates
normally. When the logic input is deactivated, all active talk
selectors are disabled. Any controls (relays, etc.) assigned to the
labels are activated or deactivated along with their assigned labels.
The LED indicators associated with the active talk selectors
operate normally regardless of the PTT status. This input only
controls latched talks.
• Activate Talk Switch #1— equivalent to pressing the panel’s first
(leftmost) talk selector; a momentary and latching activation.
• Activate Talk Switch #2—equivalent to pressing the panel’s second
talk selector; a momentary and latching activation.
• Activate Listen Labels Button—equivalent to pressing the “Listen
Labels” button to display listen labels on any display expansion
panel (XPL-12 or XPL-22) connected to the panel.
• PTT: Activate Two-Way Radio Keys—implements a push-to-talk
function for all two-way radio talk selectors. When the logic input is
active, the panel operates normally. When the logic input is
deactivated, all active two-way radio talk selectors are disabled.
Any controls (relays, etc.) assigned to the labels are activated or
deactivated along with their assigned labels. The LED indicators
associated with the active two-way radio talk selectors operate
normally regardless of the PTT status. This input only controls
latched talks.
Programmable Relay
Each ICS-2003 panel includes a relay controlled by the system
program and independent of the local panel function. This relay can be
assigned to any label(s) in the system, which will activate whenever a
talk or listen is set to that label(s). If activating the relay is the only
action desired, assign the relay to a Control label. See the Eclipse
Configuration System Manual for more details.
The relay can activate an external device, such as an applause light in
a studio, a cue light, or a security door lock. Any programmable relay in
the system can be activated from any panel in the system, including a
direct-inward-access caller.
Mute Relay
The mute relay is activated whenever any talk selector is activated at
the panel. The mute relay is commonly wired such that whenever it is
activated, the volume of the monitor speaker in that room is decreased
(muted).

Clear-Com Communication Systems
ICS-2003 Intercom Panel Instruction Manual
OPT-100 Auxiliary Audio Option
The OPT-100 Auxiliary Audio option provides the following features:
• Hot Mic output
• SA audio and relay outputs
• Auxiliary audio line level output
Hot Mic Output
The Hot Mic output is a balanced, line-level, transformer-isolated feed
of the signal from the currently selected microphone (panel or
headset). The Hot Mic output is active regardless of whether the panel
has talk paths set and regardless of the front-panel’s control settings.
Studio/Stage Announce Audio and Relay Outputs
The SA output is a balanced, line-level, transformer-isolated feed with
the same signal sent to the Hot Mic output, except it is only active
when the SA button on the panel’s front panel is pressed or when
activated by Logic Input #1 or #2, which is configured for the Studio
Announce Function.
Auxiliary Audio Line Level Output
The Auxiliary Audio Line Level output is a balanced, line-level,
transformer-isolated feed of the input to the panel’s internal speaker.
For example, this output could be used to feed an external amplifier
connected to loudspeakers.
EXPANSION PANEL OPERATION
Optional expansion panels provide additional selectors that operate
the same as a panel’s selectors, including talk, listen, tally, and error
indication.
The XPL-12 expansion panel provides 10 additional keys, while the
XPL-22 provides 20 additional keys. Each expansion panel offers
illuminated 5-character labels for every key.
Only one rack unit (1RU) of a standard Electronics Industry
Association equipment rack is required for each expansion panel. The
panels’ compact size makes them ideal for use in TV control rooms,
edit suites, mobile OB vans, and any other location where many
talk/listen keys are necessary but space it at a premium.
Although the center button (5) on the panel’s keypad is not marked for
a function, it has the function of displaying “listen” labels on any display
expansion panel (XPL-12 or XPL-22) connected to the panel.
Momentarily pressing and quickly releasing the “5” button will cause all
XPL panels to display the listen label assigned to the key. If the listen
and talk labels are the same, then there will be no change. The
function will time-out after 5 seconds.

INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the installation of the ICS-2003/ICS-2003T
display panel, including:
• Panel placement
• Wiring
• Mains AC power
• Adjustments
Leave at least 2 inches
(51mm) of clearance
behind the panel for
connecting cables.
• Configuration
• Accessory panels
MOUNTING PANELS
Locate all intercom panels at comfortable heights for operation and
leave at least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance behind the rear of the
panel’s chassis to allow for cable connectors.
Accessory panels, that are intended to expand or enhance panel
operation are usually mounted next to or near the panel with which
they are associated. Leave at least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance
behind the rear of the panel to allow for cable connectors.
Accessory panels can be located as far as 25 ft. (7.6 m) away from the
panel. A 6-ft. (1.8 m) cable is supplied to connect them.
WIRING
This section provides detailed wiring diagrams for all panels’ wiring
systems.
Eclipse uses either a twisted, 4-pair transmission, a single-pair twisted,
or a coax scheme between the panel and the frame using the industry
standard RJ-45 connector. Refer to Installing an Eclipse Matrix
System: An Overview for RJ-45 connector installation and use, and the
type of cable needed for connection between panels and frames.
Most panels have a DB-15M and an RJ-45 connector to connect them
to the frame. Panels with only a DB-15M connector include a kit
containing one DB-15F/RJ-45 adapter. The adapter allows the use of
RJ-45 connectors on both ends of the connection between the frame
and the panel.
Connections to external devices via the Miscellaneous connector, use
the included DB-15M connector to construct one or more cables to
connect external devices to the panel.
The following sections describe connecting the panel to the matrix
frame, and all the connections between the panel and local devices.
Clear-Com Communication Systems
ICS-2003 Intercom Panel Instruction Manual
2-1
Each of the following sections describes cable and panel connector
wiring:
• Analog matrix frame to panel wiring
• Digital matrix frame to panel wiring
• Matrix panel Miscellaneous connector wiring
• OPT-100 Auxiliary Audio I/O option
• Binaural headset wiring
ANALOG MATRIX FRAME TO PANEL WIRING
The analog audio RS-422 data communications module (COM-10)
uses a 4-pair wiring scheme between the frame and panels. This
module requires an MVX-A16 card in the frame.
Although some Matrix Panels have a DB-15M (male) connector for
connection to the Matrix frame, most have a built-in RJ-45 connector.
For those panels with a DB-15 male connector, Vitec Group
Communications provides a properly wired DB-15F (female) to RJ-45
adapter for direct connection with RJ-45 terminated cables.
Additionally, panels configured for digital communication are equipped
with a BNC.
Four-pair analog wiring is typically wired with shielded CAT5 RJ-45
cable.
• Pair 1 transmits analog audio from the matrix port to the panel.
• Pair 2 transmits RS-422 data from the panel back to the matrix card
port.
• Pair 3 transmits analog audio from the panel to the matrix card port.
• Pair 4 transmits RS-422 data from the matrix port back to the panel.

DIGITAL MATRIX FRAME TO PANEL WIRING
The ICS-2003T differs from the ICS-2003 because it contains an
internal digital audio/data communications module (COM-20) that
works in conjunction with the DIG-2 digital interface module to connect
digital panels to the matrix.
The DIG-2 digital interface module offers two options for wiring the
frame to intercom panels. One option is a single pair of double
shielded (braid and foil) 24 AWG conductor CAT-6 Enhanced STP
cable with RJ-45 connectors.
In addition, each panel may require other connector wiring, depending
on what options and accessories are installed.
Single-Pair Digital
Single-pair digital wiring requires double-shielded 24 AWG conductor
CAT-6E enhanced STP cable with RJ-45 connectors. Pair 1 transmits
and receives multiplexed audio or data between the matrix port and
the panel.
Note: Ensure that the Select switch on the panel’s re ar panel is in
the correct position for the intended use.

External Program Feed Input
The external program feed input allows the panel operator to
simultaneously monitor audio from an external source and intercom
audio.
The input is designed to accept a balanced, line-level audio feed at a
nominal level of 0 dB. The program feed input passes through the
2-4
panel’s “Program” volume control before being mixed with the audio at
