External alarm
Eclipse HX matrix frames have built-in fault alarm systems.
If you want to use an additional remote alarm, relay contacts are
available on the rear panel of the matrix (matrix frame).
If you want to add an external alarm condition to the frame’s alarm
system, the same connector on the rear panel alarm I/O will permit
an external contact closure to be connected to the frame’s alarm
system.
Shielded cable is recommended for Electro Magnetic Compliance in
EC countries.

3.2 Installing the Eclipse HX system
3.2.1 Installing the matrix frame in a 19” rack
Install the matrix frame in a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch wide
(48.26 cm) equipment rack. Clear-Com recommends installing the matrix frame to the
center portion of the rack, allowing easy access to the connectors on the rear of the matrix
frame.
Because of the large number of cables connected to the matrix frame, you should also plan
for the dressing of cables.
Environmental information
The matrix requires adequate ventilation. Leave at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) of clearance on
all sides of the matrix to ensure proper airflow. Do not block ventilation vents.
Check the position of the circuit cards (CPU cards and interface cards), power supplies, and
rear connector panels.
