 1 OPERATING THE
FOR-22 INTERFACE
This chapter describes how to use the FOR-22 dual 4-wire interface.
System operators can use this manual once the Eclipse System is
correctly installed and configured with the Eclipse Configuration
System (ECS) software, and after the FOR-22's internal jumpers are
set.
For information on configuring the FOR-22 interface, see the separate
manual for the Eclipse Configuration System.

DESCRIPTION
The FOR-22 dual 4-wire/radio unit forms an interface between an
Eclipse matrix and two external 4-wire devices, allowing the matrix and
the 4-wire devices to communicate with each other.
The external 4-wire devices that you can connect to the matrix with the
FOR-22 interface include camera intercoms, two-way radios,
microwave and satellite links, IFBs, and program audio.
Each of the two channels of the FOR-22 unit provides the following
functions for a port in the Eclipse System:

• Transformer isolation between an external 4-wire audio device or

system and the port.
• A set of relay contacts which are activated by a call signal from
the matrix.
• An LED indicator that lights when the relay is active.
• An optically isolated call signal input (from the external device to
the matrix).
• Separate "send" (to external device) and "receive" (from external
device) level controls on front panel.
• Send levels adjustable for line level, IFB feed level, and
microphone level (set by internal jumpers).
• A 2-color LED indicates correct signal level to external device.
The FOR-22 occupies one slot in an IMF-3 or IMF-102 interface
module frame or in an Eclipse Median frame. The two FOR-22
channels connect to the matrix frame via two 8-pin RJ-45 connectors,
and connect to external devices via two DB-9 9-pin connectors.

Vitec Group Communications 1-1

FOR-22 Dual 4-Wire Interface Instruction Manual
 The installation chapter of this manual gives more information on
interface frames and on wiring the FOR-22 unit to the matrix and to
external devices.

OPERATION
In normal use, the FOR-22 interface does not require operator
interaction. Each channel features the same set of front panel
controls:

• A "send" level control

• A "receive" level control
• A "send level" LED
• A "relay active" LED

"SEND" CONTROLS
The "send" controls affect the level of the signals from the matrix to the
external devices. This control should be adjusted so that the "send
level" LED (see below) lights green when a signal is present.
Occasional red flashes due to peaks in the audio signal are
acceptable. The "send" controls have a range of ± 10 dB.

"SEND LEVEL" LEDS

The 2-color "send level" LED lights green when the audio signal is
being sent to the external device at a typical acceptable level. The LED
lights red when the audio output signal level is too high.

"RECV" CONTROLS
The "recv" ("receive") level controls affect the level of the signals sent
from the external devices to the matrix. The "recv" controls have a
range of ± 10 dB.

RELAY ACTIVE LED

The amber "relay" LED lights whenever the relay is activated.

 2 INSTALLING THE
FOR-22 INTERFACE
This chapter includes the following topics about installing the FOR-22
interface:

• Overview of interface frames and power supplies.

• Installing the interface in an interface frame.
• Wiring the interface to the matrix and to external devices.
• Adjusting the interface’s front-panel controls after installation.

INTERFACE FRAMES AND POWER

SUPPLIES
Interface modules convert the 4-wire signals of a central matrix port to
some other form of communication, such as for telephones, camera
intercoms, two-way radios, and so on.
Each interface module connects to both the central matrix and to the
external device through cable attached to hardware connectors on the
rear of the interface module. To house these interface modules,
Clear-Com offers various types of interface frames. The two interface
frames which can house the FOR-22 dual 4-wire/radio interface are
the IMF-3 and the IMF-102 frames, which are described below.

IMF-3 Interface Module Frame

The IMF-3 interface frame holds up to 11 interface modules in three
rack units (3 RU) of a standard Electronics Industry Association
19-inch wide (48.26 cm) rack. The frame holds a modular,
rear-mounted connector panel for each interface, containing two RJ-45
connectors for connecting cable to matrix ports, and two DB-9
connectors for connecting cable to external devices. Figure 2-1
illustrates the rear panel of an IMF-3 interface frame, with 11
rear-panel assemblies installed.
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.
As a rule-of-thumb, one PSU-101 power supply unit is required for
every two IMF-3 frames. A PSU-101 power supply unit requires 90 to
260 VAC at 45 to 65 Hz with a maximum dissipation of 80 watts. A
PSU-101 connected for redundancy requires very little current unless
used.

Figure 2-1: IMF-3 Interface Frame Rear Panel

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.

Each interface features indicators and controls that must be accessible

to operators, so put the interface module frame(s) in a convenient
location. Usually interface module frames are located near the matrix
frame, but they can be located farther away. The maximum distance
between the matrix frame and the interface frame is 500 feet (150
meters).
Each Eclipse frame contains its own power supplies and does not
supply any power for interfaces. A separate power supply (PSU-101) is
only necessary for interfaces mounted in IMF-3 frames. If redundant
power supply pairs are used for interfaces, mount them together.
It is required that you leave an extra rack unit (1.75 in. or 44.45 mm)
above and below each external power supply unit. This allows for
needed cooling for larger system loads.

IMF-102 Interface Module Frame

The IMF-102 interface frame has slots for two interface modules in one
rack unit (1 RU) of a standard Electronics Industry Association 19-inch
wide (48.26 cm) rack.
It has an internal power supply and a connector for a redundant power
supply. The IMF-102 requires 90 to 250 VAC with a maximum
dissipation of 20 watts.
Its rear input/output connector panel has two RJ-45 connectors and
two DB-9 connectors for the two interface modules. Figure 2-2
illustrates the rear panel of an IMF-102 interface frame, with two
installed rear-panel assemblies.

INSTALLING THE FOR-22 IN AN INTERFACE

FRAME
IMF-3 INTERFACE FRAME
This section describes how to install an FOR-22 unit in an IMF-3
frame. There are certain options available on the FOR-22 that can be
changed before installation. The audio output level can be set to
different ranges depending on the type of input is being driven. The
input of a channel can have a bridged pad added to allow higher input
levels.
To install the FOR-22 interface module in the IMF-3 interface frame:
1. Select a slot to install the interface in.
2. Remove the blank plate covering the slot.
3. Set any necessary Audio Output Level Jumpers.
4. Set any necessary Audio Input Level modifications.
5. Slide the FOR-22 in the slot and ensure that the card is fully seated.
6. Tighten the FOR-22's front panel mounting screws.

IMF-102 INTERFACE FRAME

The IMF-102 interface frame contains two slots for installing interfaces.
Interfaces are installed horizontally in one rack unit (1 RU) of a
standard Electronics Industry Association equipment rack.
You install the FOR-22 interface in an IMF-102 interface frame as you
would install an interface in an IMF-3 interface frame.

AUDIO OUTPUT LEVEL JUMPER

The audio output is transformer isolated. There is a jumper field for
each channel that allows three basic operating levels depending on
what type of external input is being driven. The following levels can be
produced by each channel:

• Line level ------------------------- 0.0 dBu at 600 ohms

• Clear-Com IFB level ------------ -15 dBu at 200 ohms

Vitec Group Communications 2-3

FOR-22 Dual 4-Wire Interface Instruction Manual
 • Microphone level ----------------- -55.0 dBu at 20 ohms

To set channel 1 for the desired level:

1. Find jumper block JP100 on the circuit board.
2. Move the jumper so that it connects the pair of jumper pins labeled
with the desired level (Line, IFB, or Mic).
To set channel 2, repeat the above procedure using JP200.
Each FOR-22 channel can also be adjusted using its "Send" front
panel control.
See Figure 3-1 in Chapter 3 for a diagram of the FOR-22 main PCB
showing the location of the jumpers.

AUDIO INPUT LEVEL GREATER THAN +10 DBU

To accommodate input levels greater than +10 dBu on either channel,
the FOR-22 circuit board can be modified to build bridging pads on the
primary side of each channel's input transformer. To build a bridging
pad:
1. Find the jumpers labeled R111 and R112 (for channel 1) or R211
and R212 (for channel 2). These jumpers are located under the
"Level Detect" daughterboard; it may be necessary to disassemble
the FOR-22 module to access them. The jumpers look like 1/4 watt
resistors with a single black band (indicating "0 ohms").
2. Replace the jumpers with resistors according to the values shown in
Table 2-1.
3. Install R113 (for channel 1) or R213 (for channel 2) according to the
values shown in Table 2-1.

 WIRING
The FOR-22 interface connects to an Eclipse matrix through the two
RJ-45 connectors on the IMF-3 or IMF-102 rear-panel assembly to
which the FOR-22 unit is connected. One RJ-45 connector is for the
first channel of the interface. The second RJ-45 connector is for the
second channel. Figure 2-3 shows pin assignments of the RJ-45
connectors used to connect the interface to an Eclipse matrix.

EXTERNAL AUDIO DEVICES

Connect external audio devices to the FOR-22 ports through the two
DB-9M connectors labeled "I/O" on the rear panel assembly panel.
Both audio input and output are transformer isolated. Refer to Figure
2-4 for pinouts.

CALL SIGNAL INPUT

The Call Signal input is used to receive a "call signal" or logic input
from an external device and send it to the matrix. The voltage across
the pins required to receive a call signal ranges from 4 Volts to 50
volts; it can be either positive or negative polarity or AC. The input will
draw between 4 and 8 milliamps. Refer to Figure 2-4 for pinouts.

RELAY CONTACTS
Each FOR-22 channel features a relay that is associated with the
logical "call signal" output of a port. A relay's function depends on the
function assigned to the FOR-22 port in the configuration software. A
relay can be assigned to operate with any label in the system: when
that label is activated (either by a talk, listen, or both as set from the
configuration program), the relay will be activated. Or it can be
assigned to be activated by a call signal, for example to operate a
2-way radio transmitter.
You can use the relay to activate an external device, such as an
applause light in a studio, a cue light, or a security door lock. The
relays feature both "normally open" and "normally closed" contacts.
The contacts are rated at 1 Amp at 24 volts DC; they are not designed
for switching mains AC line voltage. Refer to Figure 2-4 for pinouts.

 ADJUSTMENTS
After installation the front-panel controls should be set to
accommodate the normal range of input and output levels
encountered. The following is a discussion of the controls and
indicators on the front of the interface.

"Send Level" Control

The "send level" control allows adjustment of the output level of the
channel from the matrix to the external device/system.

"Send Level" LED

The 2-color "send level" LED lights green when an audio signal is
being sent to the external device or system at a typical acceptable
level. The LED lights red when the audio output signal level is too high.

"Recv" Control
The "recv" ("receive") level controls affect the level of signals sent from
external devices or system to the matrix. The "recv" controls have a
range of ± 10 dB.

Relay Active LED

The yellow "relay" LED lights whenever the relay is activated.
Intermittent fast blinking on this LED is normal.

CONFIGURATION
You configure a central matrix port to work with the FOR-22 interface
by setting parameters in the Eclipse Configuration System (ECS)
programming software. Refer to the Eclipse Configuration System
Instruction Manual for more information.
