REMOTE INTERFACES
Interface modules convert the 4-wire signals of a central matrix port to
other types of signals that communicate with devices such as
telephones, camera intercoms, two-way radios, and so on. In this way
non-4-wire devices can communicate with the central matrix.
Each interface module has hardware connectors to connect to both the
central matrix and to the external device that communicates with the
central matrix. Most interface modules connect to the central matrix via
shielded category-5 cable terminated with RJ-45 connectors. The
DIG-2 digital interface module, however, connects to the central matrix
via double-shielded 24 AWG conductor category-6 enhanced
(CAT-6E) STP cable.
The type of cable used to connect the interface module to the
non-4-wire device varies with the device. Each of these connections is
described more fully in the individual manual for each interface.
The following interface modules are compatible with the Eclipse PiCo
matrix:
• TEL-14 telephone interface module
• CCI-22 dual party-line interface module
• FOR-22 four-wire interface module
• GPI-6 general purpose inputs interface module
• RLY-6 relay (general-purpose outputs) interface module
• AES-6 digital interface module
• DIG-2 digital interface module (transparent to the system,
configured in ECS as the type of panel it is connected to)
Each of these interfaces is described in its own manual. For a full
description of the operation, installation, and maintenance of an
interface, refer to the individual manual for that interface.
