Eclipse2 Technical Manual, 3-Aug-12 Page 5 of 17

Although there are no dangerous mains voltages present within the equipment,

the following general safety precautions as would normally apply, should be

observed during all phases of operation, service and repair of this equipment.

AROUND THE EQUIPMENT

To minimise any possible shock hazard from an external power supply or

lightning strike, the chassis or equipment cabinet must be connected to an

electrical ground. Provide adequate ventilation around the rear of the

equipment.

DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE

Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a

definite safety hazard.

DO NOT ATTEMPT INTERNAL SERVICE HILE TRANSMITTING

Thermal or R burns may result from touching certain components within the

power amplifier module while transmitting or operating the transmitter.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY THE EQUIPMENT

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install

substitute or lower voltage parts to the equipment. Return to your authorised

distributor.

EXERCISE CAUTION AND CORRECT DISPOSAL OF RF PO ER DEVICES

Most R power transistors and some R power hybrids contain Beryllium Oxide.

Although they are normally safe, if physically damaged toxic dust may be

released. Consult your local authority for correct disposal thereof.

Introduction

The Eclipse2 series is a Base Station designed for Conventional Analogue M and Conventional

APCO P25 modes of operation. Internally, it is driven by software, allowing future firmware

releases to track the development of radio standards and add new modes.

Based on a DSP and RISC platform, the base station has a modular design, which provides

extensive flexibility for users. or example, it may act as a standalone transmitter/receiver, cross-

band repeater, and more. The built-in Ethernet port allows remote monitoring and control of all

operating parameters. Under software control, the centre-frequency can be arbitrarily tuned

across a band, within the limits of the installed receiver and transmitter submodules. A range of

available submodules allows The Eclipse2 system to cover most of the band from 66MHz to

941MHz.

A typical base station or repeater system includes a Reciter (Receiver & Exciter); an R power

amplifier; and a switch mode or linear power supply. All the modules can be plugged into an R

Technology standard 19 inch wide, 4U high, rackframe.

The Reciter can deliver enough R output power to be useful as a point-to-point link, meaning an

external power amplifier may not be required in some configurations. This allows up to six Reciters

to be mounted into a single 19 inch rack.

Ethernet:

The RJ45 Ethernet connector is used for networking the base station via IP protocol, a PC can use

this connector to monitor and control the base station locally or remotely.

The Reciter supports the 10/100Mbs specification (defined by IEEE802.3u) and the MDI/MDI-X

auto crossover function which means either a straight though or crossover cable can be used to

connect the base station.

There are two LEDs embedded in the RJ45 Ethernet connector, the green LED indicates that the

Ethernet link is active; the yellow LED indicates TX/RX status between the base station and the

network.

RF input:

The receiver R input connector: 50ohm female, N type.

RF output:

The exciter R output connector: 50ohm female SMA or Optional N type.

RS232 and external reference clock (optional)

The female D shell, 9-pin connector is an optional interface to the transceiver. RS232 and external

reference clock (EXT_RE ) signals share this connector. The pins of the connector are described in

table 3.

Programming and monitoring

Programming and monitoring is accomplished using the IP Commander Software. This software is

based on the Java platform and can be run under various operation systems on the host computer,

it provides a number of useful facilities for the configuration and monitoring of the base station.

The IP Commander software allows configuring of the base station (e.g. the channel frequency,

output power, signal path, etc.) without hardware alignment, it also provides a simple means of

calibrating the R power, RSSI level, audio line levels. or more details of IP Commander software,

please refer the document: RFT Doc No. 0305917801 (IP Commander User Man al).

There are two interfaces which can be used for connecting a computer and the Reciter:
