7 Connecting to an Eclipse Matrix, to AC Power, and
to Audio Options
7.1 Rear-Panel Modules
• You connect an I-series intercom panel to the central matrix, to audio options, and to
an expansion panel through the connectors located on the panel’s rear panel. The
connectors are organized into the following two modules:
• The communications module, which is standard on all I-series intercom panels. This
module connects an i-Series panel to the central matrix and, if required, to an
expansion panel.
• The auxiliary options module, which as its name implies, is optional. This module
connects an i-Series panel to a variety of audio and control functions. The functions
available from this module are described later in this chapter.
The panel’s rear panel also contains an AC power connector to the panel’s internal
universal AC power supply.

intercom panel.

7.2 AC Power
The leftmost connector in the illustration, labeled “AC Power Connector,” connects the
panel to the internal universal AC power supply. The power supply operates over a
voltage range of 90 to 245 VAC and a frequency range of 45 to 65 Hz. The maximum
power input is 60 watts, with 30 watts typical and 30 A (amps) peak inrush.
7.3 Communications Module
The communications module connects an i-Series panel to the central matrix and to an
expansion panel. There are three connectors on the communications module, labeled J1
through J3, as shown in Figure 7-2 Communications Module Connectors.
