Eclipse Matrix Installation Instruction Manual 2 - 5
DIF-102 Interface Module Frame
The DIF-102 interface frame has slots for two digital DIG-2 interface
modules in one rack unit (1 RU) of a standard Electronics Industry
Association 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack. DIG-2 interface modules allow
the matrix to connect to digital versions of Clear-Com intercom panels.
The DIF-102 frame is powered by one or two (for redundancy) external
AC mains to 24 VDC power supplies via locking DIN connectors on the
DIF-102 rear panel. All other voltages are derived directly or indirectly
from the 24 VDC on the DIG-2 front and rear cards.
The DIF-102 should be located in the same building as the Eclipse
frame. It can be located up to 3000 feet (1000 meters) from an Eclipse
frame.
INTERCOM PANELS AND EXPANSION PANELS
Locate all intercom panels at comfortable heights for operation. Leave
at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) of clearance behind the panel chassis to
allow for cable connectors. In some low-light conditions, the
front-panel display for the ICS-2003 may be too bright. Refer to the
ICS-2003 manual for “display brightness adjustment” (part 810303Z).
Accessory panels such as the XPL, AP, or EXP that are intended to
expand or enhance the operation of panels are usually mounted just
above or below the panel with which they are associated. They can be
located up to 25 ft. (7.62 m) away from the panel. A 6-ft. (1.8 m) cable
is supplied to connect them.
Expansion panels such as the V12LDE, V12PDE, PD4203, PD4206,
PD4230 and PD4230V may be mounted as required.
Panels should not be more than 3,000 ft. (1000 m) from the Eclipse
matrix frame to which they are connected.
EXTERNAL COMPUTER
The Eclipse Configuration System (ECS) runs on an external computer
that connects to the matrix frame via a standard PC serial port to a
DB-9 RS-232 connector. The maximum recommended length of the
cable is approximately 10 feet (3.04 meters).
Note: If the ECS computer does not have a serial port, but only
offers USB, adapters are available from computer parts
suppliers.
ECS can also use an Ethernet network connected to the frame through
the two standard RJ-45 Ethernet connectors labeled LAN 1 and LAN 2.
Ethernet connection allows single or multiple PCs on the network to
control, configure, monitor, and diagnose single or multiple matrices.
