CONNECTING THE MATRIX TO REMOTE
DEVICES
The Eclipse PiCo matrix connects to remote devices such as intercom
panels, interfaces, general purpose inputs and outputs, and other
matrices through its rear-panel hardware connectors.
The following sections describe the rear-panel connectors. The
Installation Chapter of this manual gives pin assignments for each
connector.

CONNECTING TO AC POWER
An Eclipse PiCo matrix’s rear panel contains two IEC AC power input
sockets for connecting AC mains power to the two power supplies.
Each IEC socket connects cable to one power supply, operating at an
input voltage of 100 to 240 volts, between 50 and 60 hertz.
CONNECTING TO PANELS AND INTERFACES
An Eclipse PiCo matrix’s rear panel contains 36 RJ-45 sockets for
connecting the matrix to remote intercom panels and interfaces. These
sockets are often called “ports”. Each port socket is given a number on
the rear-panel for easy identification.
All ports contain a voice detection mechanism (“VOX”) that is
programmed from the Eclipse Configuration System software. VOX
