Eclipse Matrix Installation Instruction Manual 1 - 3
STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
To install an Eclipse matrix system:
1. Verify the shipment.
2. Select locations for the components.
3. Determine the wiring requirements.
4. Install components in rack.
5. Install cables.
6. Connect cable and auxiliary wiring.
7. Connect to mains AC Power.
8. Configure the system with the Eclipse Configuration System (ECS)
software.
9. Verify the operation of the system.
1. Verify the Shipment
When the equipment is received inspect the boxes for shipping
damage. Report any shipping damage to the carrier. The Eclipse
matrix system distributor is not responsible for shipping damage.
Check the packing list and verify that every item on the list has been
received. Pay special attention to options that have been installed in
intercom panels. Panel options are printed on each panel’s rear cover.
Save all packing materials (boxes, Styrofoam filler, etc.), since they will
be needed if any item must be returned because it was shipped by
mistake, because of malfunction, or for warranty service.
2. Select Locations for the Components
Select locations for the central matrix, intercom panels, interface
modules, computer, and any other system components. For additional
information on limitations imposed on location by the Eclipse matrix
system see Chapter 2, “Placing System Components.”
3. Determine the Wiring Requirements
Eclipse requires shielded category-5 (CAT5) cable with RJ-45
connectors on either end; however, there are various methods
available to deliver these cables from one place to another. For more
information on RJ-45 connectors and their installation, refer to Chapter
4, “Wiring System Components.”
All Eclipse panels have built-in RJ-45 connectors. Shielded CAT5
cables are available with RJ-45 terminations already installed. Bulk
RJ-45 connectors can be bought and installed on custom length
cables.
