VIGIL ECLIPSE4(BVECASE4)
The VIGIL Eclipse4 is a wall mountable, public address and / or voice evacuation system.
The unit houses one BVRD2M4 (with termination PCB), one BVMBC battery charger, Network
Interface modules (if required), suitable batteries and a choice of up to four amplifier mainframes.
If more than two amplifier mainframes are installed then an external Battery Box (BVECASE4BATT) is
supplied that is designed to be floor mounted, with the BVECASE4 installed directly above it.

This equipment must not be installed in an area that is subject to a corrosive
atmosphere, excessive moisture or may allow water or other liquids to come into
contact with the unit or its external connections.
In the close proximity of some radio frequency transmitting devices, the signal to
noise ratio of this product may be reduced. If this occurs, re-location of the
equipment or the signal cables is recommended.

General Safety Precautions
CA U T I O N
These Safety Precautions apply to assembled systems, however
they may not all be applicable to every item within that system.
Failure to follow these instructions and guidelines may cause
personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
WA R N I N G
This equipment is intended for continuous operation and as such
should be permanently connected to the mains supply.
This unit does not contain an external mains switch.
For servicing, an all-pole Switch / Circuit Breaker with a
separation of 3 mm in each pole should be incorporated in the
electrical supply spur feeding the unit, and this must be suitably
marked to prevent inadvertent or accidental usage.
WA R N I N G
Always ensure that this equipment is correctly earthed by
connection to an AC mains supply with a protective earth
connection.
WA R N I N G
Voltages in excess of 35V RMS AC are considered Hazardous
and in certain circumstances can be lethal.
This product contains wiring and terminations that are energised
to 230V RMS AC mains & 100V RMS AC audio signals.
WA R N I N G
If Functional Testing, Maintenance, or Repair is to be completed
with the Mains Power (and/or battery backup) connected then
this should only be undertaken by personnel who are fully aware
of the danger involved and who have taken adequate precautions
and training.
Terminals marked with the "High Voltage" symbol are
considered hazardous and the external wiring connected to
these terminals requires installation by suitably trained
personnel.

General Safety Precautions (cont.)
WA R N I N G
Note that this equipment uses battery backup, and if the Mains
Supply is disconnected Hazardous voltages will still be accessible
on the terminals marked with the "High Voltage" symbol.
WA R N I N G
The 24V DC batteries used within this system can deliver
extremely high currents that can cause fire or burns.
Care should be taken to ensure tools or jewelry etc. are
prevented from causing a Short Circuit.
WA R N I N G
Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like.
WA R N I N G
If battery isolation / disconnection is required then the 0V cable
to the chassis should be disconnected first.
WA R N I N G
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Dispose of battery carefully to avoid environmental damage.
Do not dispose of battery in a fire.
WA R N I N G
Always replace blown fuses with the correct type and rating.
If a fuse continues to blow further investigation is required.

BVECASE4 Mounting Holes and Knockout Positions
Note: The BVECASE4 has been designed to allow cable entry from the top (via knockouts) or via the
removable access plate in the rear panel.
There is no requirement for ventilation or space either side of the installed position as all terminations can
be accessed and maintenance operations can be performed from the front of the unit.

BVECASE4BATT Mounting Holes
Note: The Adjustable feet should be set to ensure the BVECASE4BATT is flat and level to allow the
BVECASE4 to be installed directly above it.
