Panel configuration
After physically placing the expansion panels and connecting them to a main
panel, the expansion panels must be programmed in ECS / EHX
For more information, see your ECS / EHX documentation.

Wiring V-Series panels
This section provides detailed wiring diagrams for V-Series panels.
Eclipse / Eclipse HX uses shielded CAT5 cable between the panel and the
matrix, and between panels and expansion panels using the industry standard
RJ-45 connector.
Note: For detailed wiring information concerning Eclipse / Eclipse HX connections, see
the Eclipse / Eclipse HX Installation Guide.
V Series panels also provide a LAN connection using the industry standard RJ-
45 connector. If the connection is directly to a PC, use a CAT5 crossover cable
to connect to the LAN port. If a hub or switch is being used, use a straight
CAT5 cable.
To connect to external devices, use the GPIO connector with the DB-25F
connector, and the auxiliary audio connector with the DB-25M connector.
The external panel power supply is normally held in a mounting bracket on the
rear of the panel. If required, you can place the power supply away from the
panel. This enables you to remove the power supply mounting bracket from
the panel, saving space.
The following sections describe:
Connecting the panel to the matrix.
Connections between panels and local devices.
Connections between panels and expansion panels.
Note: In the V-Series rear panel diagrams in this section, the Matrix Connector (RJ-
45) corresponds to the EXT0 connection that is used when panels have
additional IP channels. See 4.3 IP connection to matrix.
