Eclipse HX-PiCo
DESCRIPTION
The Eclipse HX-PiCo frame is a one
rack unit (1RU) digital matrix intercom
frame. The front panel of the Eclipse
HX-PiCo provides controls (pushbut-
tons), indicator lights, and a display for
operating the system. The back panel
holds the RJ-45 connectors (ports)
for connecting user panels, interface
modules, interface frames, and other
matrix frames to the system.
INTERFACE MODULES
External to the HX-PiCo matrix frame,
interface modules are supported in
optional 1RU and 3RU IMF frames.
Interface modules convert the HX-PiCo
ports to other types of signals that
communicate with devices such as
telephones, two-way radios, camera
intercoms, partylines, and other forms
of external communication.
Interface modules include: TEL-14 (tele-
phone interface), CCI-22 (dual partyline
interface), FOR-22 (4-wire interface),
GPI-6 (general-purpose inputs), RLY-6
(relay outputs), and AES-6 (digital inter-
face used with V-Series panels with the
AES-3 option card and AES equipment).
LINKING ECLIPSE HX-PICO’S
Two 36-port Eclipse HX-PiCo matrix
frames can be intelligently linked using
the high capacity PiCo-Link (CAT-5)
connector on each device to create
a 72-port non-blocking system.

LINKING WITH ECLIPSE
HX MATRIX FRAMES
An Eclipse HX-PiCo can intelligently
link to Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-
Median or Eclipse HX-Delta matrices
using dedicated trunk lines between
ports on the linked systems. Up to 64
matrix ports may be connected together
for a networked system. Any port may
be used as a trunk line, creating one full-
duplex communications path between
other matrices within the system. Typi-
cally, the number of trunk lines equals
the anticipated maximum simultaneous
communications between matrices. The
system intelligently uses and releases
these lines to route the communications
trafc between panels connected with
the various matrices, routing the calls
through available open trunks.
POWER AND REDUNDAN
CY
The system offers dual redundant inter-
nal power supplies to ensure no system
failur
e at any point during critical use.
One power supply unit can power an
entire matrix, while the second unit
provides a backup in case of failure or
damage to the rst unit. Built-in sensors
are connected to a warning light, allow-
ing the system operator to diagnose a
potential problem and take action.
HIGH SPEED SOFTWARE
The EHX Software provides congura-
tion for all Eclipse HX matrices and
networked systems.
The Eclipse HX-PiCo is a small to mid-size solution for
a high-quality, cost-effective digital matrix system that
can have up to 36 audio ports in a 1RU rack space.
