© 2006C Inovonics Wireless - www.inovonicswireless.comEN5000 EchoStream® High-Power RepeaterInstallation and Operation Manual - 04062C1 OverviewEN5000 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.For applications that require a weatherproof enclosure, the EN5000 may be placed in the Inovonics weatherproof plastic housing, part number ACC640.1.1 Inovonics Wireless Contact InformationIf you have any problems with this procedure, contact Inovonics Wireless technical services:• E-mail: support@inovonics.com• Phone: (800) 782-2709; (303) 939-93361.2 EN5000 LEDsDecode LED: Flashes when any recognizable RF transmission is received. (Fig. 1).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. Figure 1 EN5000 LEDs2 Installation and Startup2.1 Connect Power CablingBefore 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 bottom of the high-power repeater (Fig. 2); separate the housing.2. Connect power cabling to the Vs and GND connections (Fig. 2).• Wire should be two-conductor 20AWG (or larger) stranded-tinned copper with PVC insulation rated to 300 volts at 26°C (80°F). Wire length should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).2.2 Connect Battery PowerThe 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).2.3 Select the Frequency BandEchoStream 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 bottom of the receiver (Fig. 2); separate the housing.2. Place a selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band selection pins (Fig. 2).• Place the jumper on the top two pins, marked AUS, to set the frequency range to 915-928 MHz for Australia.• Place the jumper on the bottom 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.3. Cycle power source to reset.2.4 Register the High-Power RepeaterAlthough the high-power repeater is functional upon startup, Inovonics Wireless strongly recommends you register it using your receiver, network coordinator or control panel. Inovonics Wireless recommends all high-power repeaters be supervised. Figure 2 EN5000 Components 2.5 Mount the High-Power RepeaterCaution: Mount the high-power repeater in a location removed from metal. 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.2. Perform a walk test, activating each transmitter assigned to the high-power repeater and ensuring an appropriate response.3 SpecificationsHousing: 165 mm x 89 mm x 25 mm (6.5" x 3.5" x 1")Weight: 204 g (7.14 oz)Operating environment: 0°- 60°C (32°- 140°F), 90% relative humidity, non-condensingPower requirement: 14 VACBattery capacity: 1800 mAH @ 3.7 typicalTypical back-up battery life: 24 hoursOperating frequency: 915-928 MHz (Australia), 921-928 MHz (New Zealand) 902-928 MHz (USA)Battery charger operating environment: 0°- 40°C (32°- 104°F) Accessories: ACC640: weatherproof plastic enclosure for outdoor installations; BAT850: replacement lithium-ion battery assembly4 Warranty/DisclaimerCaution: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by Inovonics Wireless Corporation may void the installer's authority to operate the equipment as well as the product warranty.
