EC-EX10
5. Engineer’s Keypad
An engineer’s keypad can be plugged onto this connector to
allow programming and testing of the system.
Eclipse Zone & Output Expander
Installation Instructions
1. Introduction
The EC-EX10 is supplied in a stylish plastic enclosure and is
connected to the 4-wire control panel network to provide an
additional 10 zones and 10 outputs. A set of connections for a
loudspeaker is also provided.
2. PCB Layout & Connections

6. Programmable Outputs
These terminals provide programmable switched -ve driven
outputs. OP1 to OP8 are low current 100mA and suitable for
driving light load like relays and LED’s. OP9 and OP10 are high
current 1Amp and can used for driving heavier loads.
An additional power supply maybe required in order to
supply adequate power to drive the devices connected
to the Programmable Outputs.
7. Auxiliary 12V
These terminals provide auxiliary power for powering detection
device and device connected to the programmable outputs.
8. Loudspeaker Output
These terminals provide a set of connections for a 16Ω
loudspeaker for generation of exit, entry and alarm tones.
9. Onboard Piezo Sounder
The piezo sounder generates low level alarm, fault and system
tones. The engineer can also make the sounder “Beep” the
address from “View Zone Status” menu.
10. Address Selector
Each expander must be assigned a different address using the
address selector. Move the jumper to the required position 1, 2,
3 or 4.
11. Zone Inputs
These terminals provide the zone inputs for detection devices.
Both the zone type and the wiring configuration are
programmable by the control panel. Please refer to the control
panel installation manual. The power for detection devices
should be taken from the auxiliary 12V terminals.

1. Network In
These four connections must be connected to the control panel
network, or the “Network Out” of another EC-EX10.
2. Lid Tamper
The lid tamper detection switch. The tamper protection can be
disabled at the control panel, please refer to the control panel
installation manual.
3. Status Indicator
This LED indicates the status of the system. When lit red it
indicates an alarm, green indicates it is healthy. The indicator
will also flash the expander address when the system is in
engineer’s mode.
4. Network Out
These four connections should be used to connect other devices
that are down stream from the expander.

Please follow the installation sequence below:
1. Remove the screw cap by using a large flat blade screw
driver, then undo the cover screw using a suitable pozi-drive
screwdriver and remove the cover.
2. Position the expander in the require position and mark the
four securing holes in each corner.
3. Drill and plug the holes then secure the expander with
suitable fixings.
4. Route the network, zone and output cables into the housing
through the cable entries provided.
5. Connect the detection devices to the Zone Inputs and
Auxiliary 12V.
6. Connect the network cable to the Network In terminals and
Network Out (if you connecting other devices from the
expander).
7. If required, connect the switched output loads between the
Programmable Outputs and Auxiliary 12V (+).
8. If required, connect a 16Ω loudspeaker to the Loudspeaker
Output terminals.
9. Set the Address Selector to the required position.
10. Apply power to system and confirm the new expander is
being recognised by the control panel. See “Confirm
Devices” in the control panel installation manual.
11. Test the operation of the zones, outputs and loudspeaker,
and then finally replace cover.

Remote keypads and expanders are all connected to the same

control panel and may be connected serially (daisy chain), in
parallel (star) or any combination of the two.
Network Voltage Drop
When devices are on long cable runs or the current being drawn
from the network is high, the voltage at the expander or keypad
will drop due to the impedance of the cable. There are several
ways to reduce the level of voltage drop in a network:
f Use thicker lower resistance cable. Standard 7/0.2 alarm
cable has a resistance of 8Ω per 100m
f Double up on the power connections – this will require
using a 6 or 8-core cable rather than a 4-core cable
f Install a power supply to power the device locally
