3. Installation
3.1. Cable Specification
The Eclipse system is supplied with two cables, both of which are terminated at one
end with a Teledyne Impulse MHDG 3#16 5#20 connector. The 5m cable has bare
ends for termination/splicing into the vehicle wiring. The 10m cable is terminated
with a Souriau connector which mates to the bench PSU and can be used for testing
the Eclipse independent of the vehicle wiring and power supply.
Note
The network signal cables inside the supplied cable are Shielded Twisted
Pairs (STP). If splicing to a connector whip that is not provided with
twisted pairs, it is important to keep the untwisted length to a minimum
(no more than 20cm). Long lengths might result in network losses or
communication failure.

Caution
Never try to make the Eclipse work down a long cable by increasing the
PSU output voltage above 28V DC.
