ICS-2003 INTERCOM STATION
2-12
STATION CONNECTION
A cable is supplied with each panel to connect it to a station or to additional
panels. The cable is 6-ft. long (1.8 m) and has a DB-9F connector on one end
and a DB-9M connector on the other end. If custom length cables are to be
made, they should be made with 9 conductor control cable with 22 to 24 AWG
wire. The pins should be wired one-to-one between the male and female
connectors. The maximum distance between the station and the last expansion
panel should be 25 ft. (7.6 m).
To connect an accessory panel to an intercom station:
1. Plug the DB-9M end of the cable supplied into the “Accessory Panel”
connector on the back of the station.
2. Plug the DB-9F end into the “From Intercom Station” connector on the rear
panel of the accessory panel.
To connect an additional accessory panel:
1. Plug the DB-9M end of the additional key panel’s cable into the “To Next
Expansion Panel” connector on the back of the preceding key panel.
2. Plug the DB-9F end of that cable into the “From Intercom Station” connector
on the back of the additional key panel.
More panels can be added by using this “daisy-chaining” method.
The numbering of expansion selectors will be in the order of the daisy chaining.
The first panel will be selectors 1 to 20, the second will be selectors 21 to 40, and
so forth.
CONFIGURATION
After physically placing the key panels and connecting them to a station, the
number of accessory keys installed in the station must be programmed into the
configuration program. Refer to the Eclipse Configuration System Instruction
Manual for more information.
