Eclipse PiCo Matrix Instruction Manual
4 - 2
A fully equipped Eclipse PiCo matrix requires 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to
60 Hz with a maximum dissipation of 400 watts.
BATTERY BACKUP
The Eclipse PiCo matrix is fitted with a non-rechargeable battery to
maintain the system memory that stores the configuration maps and
other system data in the event of power failure or the unit being
switched off for a period of time.
The Eclipse PiCo battery is normally a 1/2AA 3V VARTA 6127-201-301
and would be fitted on shipment. This has a capacity of 970mAh and a
life of approximately 252 days.
Note: If the matrix is stored for more than three months, or if the
AC power to the matrix is regularly turned off (as in Outside
Broadcast vans), a qualified service person should be
contacted to disconnect the CPU backup battery before
storing the matrix. Only a qualified service person should
attempt to disconnect the battery. To contact a qualified
service person, please see the information in the Warranty
chapter.
WIRING THE MATRIX TO REMOTE DEVICES
The matrix holds the circuitry for connecting to, and communicating
with, the following:
• Thirty-two intercom panels or interfaces
• Eight general purpose outputs (GPOs or relays)
• Eight general purpose inputs (GPIs)
• Up to ten external GPI/RLY interfaces
• An additional Eclipse PiCo matrix to form a 64-port linked system
• A local area network (LAN) connection for Ethernet-based
communication with a network
• An external computer
The following sections describe the wiring for these connections.
Note: The instruction manual “Eclipse Matrix Installation Manual”
(part 810298Z) gives complete details about wiring remote
devices to the matrix. The manual also discusses RJ-45
cables and other types of cable required for system
installation.
