EN5040-T EchoStream High-Power Repeater Installation and Operation Manual - 05066J, May 18, 2011 1 Overview EN5040-T high-power repeaters receive, decode and retransmit signals at enhanced power from Inovonics Wireless nodes. They act as range expanders for any valid Inovonics Wireless transmission, including signals from other high-power repeaters. Repeaters can be layered as necessary, allowing Inovonics Wireless systems to scale from small commercial sites to complete campuses consisting of several buildings. The EN5040-T features jam detection, as well as case and wall tamper detection. Input power is provided by listed class 2 transformer, Ault Inc. T48141428V010G. Note: For UL installations, refer to the EN4216MR Installation and Operation Manual, the EN4232MR Installation and Operation Manual, or the EN7285 Installation Instructions. 1.1 Inovonics Wireless Contact Information If you have any problems with this procedure, contact Inovonics Wireless technical services:

Transmit LED Lit when transmitting an RF transmission (Fig. 1). Low Battery Fault LED: Lit when the high-power repeaterhas a low battery (Fig. 1). Power LED: Lit when receiving power (Fig. 1). The LED lights green when the unit is receiving line power; red when receiving battery power. Note: If mapped to an output, the high-power repeater will send the AC loss message to the receiver or network coordinator when receiving power from the backup battery.

Products are intended for indoor use. Manually test all products weekly. 2.2 Connect Power Cabling Before beginning startup, power must be connected to the high-power repeater. To connect power to the high-power repeater:
1. Use a small screwdriver to press the housing release tab on the top or 2. Connect power cabling (Fig. 2). bottom of the high-power repeater (Fig. 2); separate the housing. Wire should be two-conductor 20AWG (or larger) stranded-tinned copper with PVC insulation rated to 300 volts at 26C (80F). Wire length should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Uses class 2 plug-in transformer 14VAC/120VAC-20VA, Ault Inc. T48141428V010G. Note: Do not secure transformer for Canadian installations. Inovonics, 2011 - www.inovonics.com 2.3 Connect Battery Power The high-power repeater is shipped with a fully-charged backup battery. You will need to connect the battery:
1. Plug the connector cable from the backup battery into the battery connector (Fig. 2). 2.4 Select the Frequency Band EchoStream products are able to use a range of radio frequencies, and must be configured for your geographic area. To configure the high-power repeater:
1. Use a small screwdriver to press the housing release tab on the top or 2. Place a selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band selection pins (Fig. 2). Place the jumper on the left two pins, marked AU, to set the frequency bottom of the receiver (Fig. 2); separate the housing. range to 915-928 MHz for Australia. Place the jumper on the right two pins, marked NZ, to set the frequency range to 921-928 MHz for New Zealand. Leave the jumper off the pins to set the frequency range to 902-928 MHz for North America. Note: North American is also selected when the jumper is only attached to one pin. This can prevent the jumper from being lost when selecting North America. Note: Only devices set for use in North America are configured for UL installations. 3. Press the Reset button. 2.5 Register the High-Power Repeater Although the high-power repeater is functional upon startup, Inovonics Wireless strongly recommends you register it using your receiver, network coordinator or control panel. Registration is required for UL installations. Inovonics Wireless recommends all high-power repeaters be supervised. Supervision is required for UL installations. Note: For registration information, refer to the receivers installation instructions. Caution: The reset bit will not be sent when the repeater has a low battery. Before registering the repeater, ensure the battery is fully charged.

Inovonics Wireless Corporation ("Inovonics") warrants its products
("Product" or "Products") to conform to its own specifications and to be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of thirty-six (36) months from the date of manufacture. Within the warranty period, Inovonics will repair or replace, at its option, all or any part of the warranted Product. Inovonics will not be responsible for dismantling and/or reinstallation charges. To exercise the warranty, the User ("User", "Installer"
or "Consumer") must work directly through their authorized distributor who will be given a Return Material Authorization ("RMA") number by Inovonics. Details of shipment will be arranged directly through the authorized distributor. This warranty is void in cases of improper installation, misuse, failure to follow installation and operating instructions, alteration, accident or tampering, and repair by anyone other than Inovonics. This warranty is exclusive and expressly in lieu of all other warranties, obligations or liabilities, whether written, oral, express, or implied.

Metal objects (duct work, wire mesh screens, boxes) will reduce RF range. 1. Use the provided anchors and screws to mount the high-power repeater in a location accessible for future maintenance. In large installations, high-power repeaters should be mounted so that every transmitter has multiple transmission paths to the serial receiver or network coordinator. This kind of redundancy preserves system integrity in the event of temporary interruptions of any transmission path in the system. For maximum efficiency, high-power repeaters should be mounted with as few obstacles as possible between it and the receiver, network coordinator or control panel. Always perform a walk test after mounting, activating each transmitter assigned to the high-power repeater and ensuring an appropriate response. 2.7 Enable the Wall Tamper The wall tamper must be enabled. To enable the wall tamper. 1. Attach the included screw to the wall through the tamper mounting hole
(Fig. 2). If the EN5040-T is removed from the wall, the cutout on the back of the housing will detach from the EN5040-T, activating a tamper alarm. 2.8 Close the Housing The housing must be closed and the tamper spring in place to ensure the security of your system. 1. Check that the tamper spring is in place and makes contact with the repeater housing. 2. Close the housing. 3 Specifications Housing: 165 mm x 89 mm x 25 mm (6.5" x 3.5" x 1") Weight: 204 g (7.14 oz) Operating environment: UL installations: 0- 60C (32- 140F), 90%
