INSTALLATION
•Mount your Eclipse system, away from areas where liquor spills could fall onto the
Eclipse. The system is protected with silicone but it is not guaranteed to be liquid
proof. Liquid spills can find their way to the connectors causing corrosion and eventually
penetrate the enclosure.
•Mount the activator ring holder to the right of the system (Most people are right handed) where
it is most convenient for bartenders. Soft drink guns should be mounted on the left of the
system.
•Secure the activator ring and extension to the activator ring port on the system.
•If you connect the Eclipse system to a serial port (printer, PC or POS), install the communication
cable and test it before securing the system under the bar.
•Secure your activator ring cable to the ring holder using a cable tie.
•Connect the power supply cord to the 20 VA, 12 volts AC transformer. We recommend using a
battery backup with surge protector if you are in an area where power failures are frequent.

SERIAL CONNECTION
CONNECTING THE ECLIPSE TO A SERIAL PRINTER
To connect a serial printer to the Eclipse , use the RS-232 port. With new
printers, the 9-pin female serial cable supplied with the printer is directly
compatible.
Set the RS-232 port to printer. (See programming)
Printer settings
•Baud rate: 9600
•P a r i t y : n o n e
•Stop bit: 1
•Handshaking: Xon/Xoff
•Print columns: 40
CONNECTING THE ECLIPSE TO A COMPUTER
You can connect your Eclipse to your PC to use the Liquor Manager software
(cable and software purchased separately). Use a RS-232 null modem cable
( P / N: 70-030).
RS-232 Null modem pin-o u t :
Null modem with loop back handshaking
The RS-232 cable cannot exceed 100 ft (30 meters).

CONNECTING THE ECLIPSE TO A POS OR CASH REGISTER
Interfacing an Eclipse to a POS is achieved using the RS-232 serial port. You can connect
your Eclipse to your POS or cash register using a RS-232 null modem cable (P/N: 70-
030). Samsung registers require a gender changer connector.
Set the RS-232 port to POS. (See programming)
USB TO SERIAL CONVERTER
Newer computers may not be equipped with 9-pin serial ports. A USB to serial adapter will
solve the problem. Drivers are provided with the converter and must be installed on the
computer. Windows will assign the serial port automatically. You can find to which port
your converter has been assigned at:
Control panel/system/device manager/ports (Com & LPT)
The defaults Windows serial port settings are:
9600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 2 stop bits and no flux control.
RS-422 SERIAL PORT CONNECTIONS
You will use the RS-422 port for the following reasons:
•You wish to connect your Eclipse system to a computer more than 100 ft (30M) away.
•You have more than one Eclipse that you want to connect to the same computer, POS or printer.
Use straight RS422 twisted pair cables between the Eclipse and the AP421 converter (P/N: 70-042-X).
RS-422 TO RS-232 CONVERSION
When using the RS-422 port, you will need to convert the signal back to RS-232 before you can connect
your cable to a computer, POS or printer. The AP421 converter will
accommodate up to four RS-422 inputs to convert to a single RS-232 port.

RFID POURERS
RFID pourers contain an electronic chip in which you will assign a number between 0
and 255. You can assign as many pourers as you need to the same number. You will use
the Eclipse ID to program the numbers when you install the system.
Use the magnetic pourer tool to open the pourer wh e n pushing the normally closed
pourer into a new bottle. That will prevent pressurizi n g the liquid inside the bottle
forcing it up the breather tube and air vent.
INSERTS
If the insert provided with the pourer is too loose, liquor will leak between the pourer
and bottleneck. Select the bigger size and change the insert. If the insert is too tight,
the pourer will be hard to remove from the bottle. This often leads to the breather
tube being pulled out when you try to remove it from the bottle. Trim the top wing
using a nail clipper or a cutter.
Clean your pourers
immediately after taking
them off the empties.
Do not use soap and do not
clean in a dish washer.

MODE 7: 1-O Z C OEF F ICIEN T
Coefficients have already been assigned to the product names in the database contained in Liquor
Manager ID+ 2010. A coefficient (K) is the value of a timer to serve 1 oz of a product with a given
viscosity. For regular products, K1 is set to 32 with a regular Auper RFID pourer. This value could be
different with a different brand of pourer. The value of a coefficient increases with the viscosity since it
takes more time to serve an equal amount. We have determined 5 coefficients:
•32 for regular products
•35 for half sweetened products
•38 for sweetened products
•45 for creams
•19 for wine using the blue pourer that pours much faster than a regular pourer.
The viscosity coefficients will be used by the software to calculate the pour size timers based on the
pour size values (in oz) entered for each pour size button. If you do not intend to change the factory
default settings of the Eclipse system, skip to the next mode by pressing the M button.
This mode is only used to determine the value of a coefficient by serving liquor into a graduated cylinder
should you want to modify the factory default settings.
•Press the S and R buttons to change the coefficient number (K1 to K-10)

Eclipse ID S3 Quick User guide

2010 Auper Electronic Controls Inc Edition EIDS3E 1.0
•Insert the bottle in the ring and invert over the graduated cylinder.
•Press the R button to delete the current coefficient value.
•Press the S button to open and close the pourer. The coefficient value will move up until you
close the pourer.
•Remove the bottle from the ring. Press the S and L button to change the value manually.
Changing the coefficients in the Eclipse does not change the pour sizes until you read the new
coefficients with the software and have the software re-calculate the timer values.
METRIC MEASUREMENTS
For those who work in Cl (centiliters), use the value of a timer to serve 1 CL.
Conversion: 1 CL = .352 oz (rounded results)
•K1 = 32 * .352 = 11
•K2 = 35 * .352 = 12
•K3 = 38 * .352 = 13
•K4 = 45 * .352 = 16
•K5 = 19 * .352 = 7
If you set a pour size to 3, the timer will be calculated to serve 3 CL (TMR value of 34). All you will need
to do to change the system to use the metric system is change the values of coefficients K1 to K5 in the
software w i t h t h e a b o v e val u e s . The products having already been assigned to a coefficient will
automatically be modified.
