Interface Modules

Interface modules convert the four-wire signals of a central matrix port to other types of signals that communicate with devices such as telephones, camera intercoms, two-way radios, and so on. In this way non-four-wire devices can communicate with the central matrix.

Each interface module has hardware connectors to connect to both the central matrix and the external device that communicates with the central matrix.

Most interface modules connect to the central matrix via shielded CAT5 cable terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

Note: The type of cable used to connect the interface module to the non-four-wire device varies with the device. For more information, see the dedicated user guide / manual for that interface module.

The following interface modules are compatible with the Eclipse HX-Delta matrix:

  • TEL-14 telephone interface module.

  • CCI-22 dual party-line interface module.

  • FOR-22 four-wire interface.

  • GPI-6 general purpose inputs interface module.

  • RLY-6 relay (general-purpose outputs) interface module.

  • AES-6 digital interface module used with V-Series panels fitted with the AES-3 option card. It may also be used with AES-3 compliant third-party equipment.

An MVX card (or E-Pico) is required to use the following interface cards:

  • CCI-22

  • FOR-22

  • TEL-14

  • AES-6

Notes: Additional interface modules may be added to the Eclipse HX-Delta, using separate interface module frames such as the IMF-3 and IMF-102. For more information, see the relevant User Guide.
  DIG-2 interface modules are not compatible with the Eclipse HX-Delta.
