Clear-Com HX System Frames - Manual (Page 16)

The matrix assembly consists of the following components:
• The metal chassis for the circuit cards and power supplies.
• The removable and replaceable circuit cards.
• The removable and replaceable power supplies.
• The rear panel connectors which link the circuit cards to devices and media such as
intercom panels, interfaces, wireless equipment and optical fiber.
3.2.2 Power supplies
The Eclipse HX-Omega matrix has two Euro Cassette power supply units that can be
easily installed or removed as needed. One power supply unit can power an entire matrix.
The second unit provides a backup in case of failure or damage to the first unit.
In addition, the two supplies have separate IEC connectors to AC mains, and are designed
for completely automatic and transparent changeover between supplies in the event of a
power outage in one of the AC mains circuits.
An over-temperature sensor is connected to both an audible failure alarm and a warning
light, allowing the system operator to diagnose and correct any power anomalies while the
system remains operational.
3.2.3 Main features of the Eclipse HX-Omega
Features of the Eclipse HX-Omega matrix system include:
• Full audio bandwidth throughout the signal chain, producing superior broadcast audio
quality. The system maintains 24-bit sampling and 30 Hz to 22 kHz frequency
response.
• Support for multiple analog port interfaces (MVX-A16), providing 16 analog ports
each. If MVX-A16 cards are fitted to all 15 slots available, the Eclipse HX-Omega can
provide up to 240 analog ports.
• Fail-safe redundancy achieved by two processor cards and two power supplies.
Note:
Power supplies automatically switch to the correct voltage, for compatibility around
the world.
• Eight general purpose inputs and eight relays, located directly on the matrix.
• Full compatibility with V-Series and i-Series user panels.
• Matrices that link across cities, nations, or continents through trunk lines and fiber.
