Eclipse 8/16/32/99 Series - Installation Manual

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The ECLIPSE series Alarm control panels are designed and tested in compliance with electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) standards. The following recommendations need to be observed for the proper performance of the alarm
station:
➢ Ensure the alarm system is properly earthed (grounded).
➢ Insulate the high and low voltage cables and use different input openings on the box.
➢ Avoid any loops of connecting wires within the very box and in their passage over or under the printed circuit
boarding.
➢ Additional relays MUST NOT be placed in the Eclipse Alarm control panel box as these may generate
electromagnetic interference when switched.
- Use only relays with good insulation between contacts and the winding.
- Relays, connected to outputs with an open commutator, must be designed to accommodate a 12 V DC
driving voltage and an impedance at the winding greater than 400Ω.
➢ The cable connecting the control panel and the keyboard is quadruple.
It is strongly recommended not to: use this cable to make other connections - connect to a telephone line, Flash-
lamps control signals, sirens or relays.
➢ Avoid channels or cable forms that contain high voltage cables when placing the connecting shielded cables. This
is very important in cases where such cables are being used to power electric motors, fluorescent lamps or triple-
phase voltage. Where the above is not possible, use only shielded cables, where the shield is grounded only in the
alarm system box.
Technical Features:
* NOTE: The full configuration of 32 zones can be realized with doubling zone connection (16 logical zones on the control PCB) and 1 Zone
expander for 8 zones (16 logical zones) or without zone doubling with connection of 3 zone expanders to the panel.
** NOTE: The configuration up to 99 zones can be realized with doubling zone connection (16 logical zones on the control PCB) and 5 Zone
expanders with 8 zones each (16 logical zones) or without zone doubling with connection of 11 zone expanders to the panel.
