Dual Power Supplies

The Eclipse HX-Delta matrix includes two external power supply units. One power supply unit can power an entire matrix; the second unit provides a backup in case of an equipment failure.

In addition, the two supplies have separate IEC connectors to AC mains power, and are designed for completely automatic and transparent changeover between supplies in the event of a power failure on one of the AC branches.

	To reduce the risk of electric shock, plug each of the power cords to separate branch circuits with different service ground.

The power supplies contain a health sensor that is connected to both an audible alarm and a warning light, giving the system operator the necessary forewarning to diagnose and correct any power anomalies while the system remains operational.

If any individual power supply fails, an alarm can be issued to a remote location to alert operators that part of a power supply has failed. The failure of a single supply will issue an alarm, but the Eclipse HX-Delta system will continue to operate normally, powered by the second supply.

The internal PSU assembly also has dual redundancy as a precaution against failure.
