Auxiliary Relay
The auxiliary relay is controlled by the Eclipse Configuration System.
When you attach the programmable relay to any source or
destination’s label in the intercom system through the Eclipse
Configuration System, whenever that label’s key is pressed on any
panel in the system, the relay activates as well.
Typically, a relay is used to activate an external device such as an
applause light in a studio, a cue light, or a security door lock. For
example, you can program a relay so that whenever anyone in the
intercom system presses a key to talk to a specific panel, the relay in
that panel will activate and turn on a visual indicator (such as a light) to
get the panel operator’s attention.
Note: You can activate a relay that is independent of any
talk-or-listen function by creating a “control” label in the
Eclipse Configuration System. When you activate the
control label, only the relay activates. No audio signal
activates in conjunction with the relay.
Studio Announce (SA) Relay
The Studio Announce (SA) relay is controlled by the Eclipse
Configuration System. The SA relay momentarily turns off all “talk”
paths leaving the panel and sends the panel’s microphone audio out
through the SA output. This function overrides external IFB and ISO,
interrupting matrix communications to these external systems.
You can program the relay to activate whenever you press a
designated source or destination’s key at the intercom panel.
External Speaker Input Connector
The 1/8-inch tip/sleeve mini-connector labeled “J6” connects to and
powers an external speaker. Its impedance rating is 4–8 Ohms and its
power rating is 1/2 watt at 4 Ohms.
Note that when you plug an external speaker into this connector, the
front-panel internal speaker is still active. You can deactivate one or
both speakers through the Eclipse Configuration System.
The front-panel’s main-volume knob controls the volume for both the
rear-panel and front-panel speakers. The volume of both speakers is
the same.
Line-Level Output Connector
The 1/8-inch tip/ring/sleeve mini-connector labeled “J7” is a line-level,
transformer-balanced output of all of the audio that comes to the panel
J6
