WIRING THE MATRIX TO INTERFACE
MODULES
Interface modules convert the 4-wire signals of a central matrix port to
some other form of communication, such as telephones, camera
intercoms, two-way radios, and so on. In this way, non-4-wire devices
can communicate with the central matrix.
Each interface module has hardware connectors to connect to both the
central matrix and to the external device that communicates with the
central matrix.
To house these interface modules, Clear-Com offers three types of
interface frames.
• The IMF-3 interface frame holds up to 11 interface modules in 3 RU
of rack space. Modular rear-mounted connector panels hold two
RJ-45 connectors to the matrix ports and two DB-9’s attaching the
connected devices. The frame uses an external PSU-101
rack-mounted power supply to supply power to the interface
modules. A second PSU-101 can be attached for redundancy.
Note: The IMF-3 frame has an individual rear panel for each
interface. All interfaces use the same rear panel, however
the use of the rear-panel connectors will vary with the type
of interface.
• The IMF-102 interface frame has slots for two interface modules in 1
RU of rack space. Its rear input/output connector panel has two
RJ-45 connectors and DB-9 connectors for each of the two interface
modules. It has an internal power supply and a connector for a
redundant power supply.
• The DIF-102 interface frame has slots for two digital DIG-2 interface
modules in 1 RU of rack space. 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 rear panel. All other voltages are derived directly
or indirectly from the 24 VDC on a DIG-2 interface module’s front and
rear cards.
CCI-22 and FOR-22 - The CCI-22 and FOR-22 dual audio interfaces
use each of the RJ-45 connectors on its rear panel for connection to
the matrix port. The top RJ-45 is for the first channel of the interface.
The lower RJ-45 is for the second channel. The DB-9Ms are the
interface’s audio and control inputs and outputs. Refer to the section
on those interfaces later in this chapter for wiring details.
AES-6 - The AES-6 digital interface rear cards provide coax or RJ-45
connectors for wiring to V-Series or 4000 Series II panels and RJ-45
connectors for wiring to the matrix. Refer to the AES-6 manual (part
no. 810365Z) for wiring details.
