INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the installation of the ICS-2003/ICS-2003T
display panel, including:
• Panel placement
• Wiring
• Mains AC power
• Adjustments
• Configuration
• Accessory panels
MOUNTING PANELS
Locate all intercom panels at comfortable heights for operation and
leave at least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance behind the rear of the
panel’s chassis to allow for cable connectors.
Accessory panels, that are intended to expand or enhance panel
operation are usually mounted next to or near the panel with which
they are associated. Leave at least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance
behind the rear of the panel to allow for cable connectors.
Accessory panels can be located as far as 25 ft. (7.6 m) away from the
panel. A 6-ft. (1.8 m) cable is supplied to connect them.
WIRING
This section provides detailed wiring diagrams for all panels’ wiring
systems.
Eclipse uses either a twisted, 4-pair transmission, a single-pair twisted,
or a coax scheme between the panel and the frame using the industry
standard RJ-45 connector. Refer to Installing an Eclipse Matrix
System: An Overview
for RJ-45 connector installation and use, and the
type of cable needed for connection between panels and frames.
Most panels have a DB-15M and an RJ-45 connector to connect them
to the frame. Panels with only a DB-15M connector include a kit
containing one DB-15F/RJ-45 adapter. The adapter allows the use of
RJ-45 connectors on both ends of the connection between the frame
and the panel.
Connections to external devices via the Miscellaneous connector, use
the included DB-15M connector to construct one or more cables to
connect external devices to the panel.
The following sections describe connecting the panel to the matrix
frame, and all the connections between the panel and local devices.
Leave at least 2 inches
(51mm) of clearance
behind the panel for
connecting cables.
