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.

1.2 EN5040-T LEDs
Decode 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.

2 Installation and Startup
2.1 Installation Notes
• These products are designed to be installed and maintained by
professional security technicians.
• 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
bottom of the high-power repeater (Fig. 2); separate the housing.
2. Connect power cabling (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).
• Uses class 2 plug-in transformer 14VAC/120VAC-20VA, Ault Inc.
T48141428V010G.
Note: Do not secure transformer for Canadian installations.
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
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 left two pins, marked AU, to set the frequency
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 receiver’s 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.

2.6 Mount the High-Power Repeater
Caution: 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.
• 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.
