Introduction
The Echo
®
Receiver is a one-way communication wireless receiver operating in the 902-
928 MHz ISM Band used for the condition monitoring of plant equipment. The receiver
continuously awaits the receipt of intermittent transmissions from Echo
®
Wireless
Vibration Sensors and EchoPlus
®
Wireless Junction Boxes. The Echo
®
Receiver is
connected to a computer or network running Microsoft
®
SQL database and Echo
®
Data
Server Software. Information received by the receiver is placed into the Microsoft
®
SQL
Database where it can be manipulated by the Echo
®
Data Server software. For
information on the setup and installation of the Echo
®
Wireless Vibration Sensors,
EchoPlus
®
Wireless Vibration Junction Boxes, or the Echo
®
Data Server please consult
their respective manuals.
Proper Handling
Proper handling of the Echo
®
Receiver is critical to preventing damage.
The following should be avoided:
• Removing the cover of the receiver.
• Dropping the receiver.
• Submersing or spraying the receiver with fluids of any kind.
• Using excessive torque when mounting the unit.
• Placing the unit in strong magnetic fields.
• Exposing the unit to temperatures above 158° F or below -4° F.
Do not attempt to remove the cover of the Echo
®
Wireless Receiver.
There are no customer serviceable components inside.
Removing the cover will void the warranty.

Receiver Connections
The Echo
®
Wireless Receiver is equipped with 4 connectors including 2 MIL, 1 industrial
Ethernet, and 1 N antenna connector. Labels for these connector are found on the bottom
of the receiver.
Both MIL connectors can be used interchangeably for power or data
transmission.
Location Connector Type Function Quantity
A MIL Power Cable or
Programming Cable 2
B Industrial Ethernet Network Cable 1
C N Antenna 1
Connection A – MIL Connector
The MIL connections are completely interchangeable. These connections are used for
two purposes. The first is the power for the Receiver unit. A supplied power adaptor has
a mating MIL connector and powers the unit with 110-220VAC line power. If power is
connected to the receiver the blue LED will light indicating the unit is on.

DO NOT USE ANY POWER SUPPLY OTHER THAN THE ONE
INCLUDED WITH THE RECEIVER! DO NOT SUPPLY POWER
OTHER THAN 110-220 VAC OR DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
The MIL connector is also used for programming and updating the Echo
®
Receiver. A
special RS232 to MIL connector cable (optional) connects a computer to the receiver.
For specific information on how to program or update the receiver, consult the
“Programming the Receiver” section of this manual.
Connection B – Industrial Ethernet
The Ethernet connector is used to connect the receiver to your network or stand alone
computer. An industrial Ethernet connector is optional but might be ideal for dirty
industrial environments because the boot will provide some additional protection.
If a standalone computer is used a crossover cable is NOT needed. When
connecting the computer to your network, the MAC address is
conveniently located on the top of the unit.
Connection C – N Antenna Connection
The receiver’s N connection is used for the antenna input. The antenna may either be
directly mounted to the receiver or connected with low loss antenna cable. For specific
instructions on locating and mounting a remote antenna, please consult the Echo
®
System
Installation Manual.
Locating and Installing the Receiver
The receiver must be located near a source of 110-220VAC power and an Ethernet
network connection. The antenna should be located centrally to the area of interest. A
good strategy is to map out your facility and mark possible locations of the receivers.
Based on location and survey testing choose the optimal location. For specific
information on this process, please consult the “Echo
®
Wireless System Manual”.
The receiver is included with mounting hardware which may be useful for installing it at
your location. The receiver should be physically located where it can be accessed with
the programming cable should settings need to be adjusted.
You may use the short antenna provided with the receiver for testing, setup, and in cases
were the sensors are close to the receiver. To improve the performance, a 6 dBi gain
antenna is recommended and mounted in an elevated location. In some cases a higher
gain antenna, generally not to exceed 8 dBi, can be used. The antenna should be
connected to the receiver using low loss antenna (add spec) cable. For specific
information consult the “Echo
®
Wireless System Manual”.
Proper planning and locating the receiver in the best location can cause
drastic performance enhancement. Remember – you will need to access
the box with the programming cable.

Programming the Receiver
The receiver can be programmed to a static or dynamic IP address and one of 12
independent RF frequency bands. Firmware updates can also be installed. The following
equipment is required for programming the receiver:
• Echo
®
Wireless Receiver
• Power supply
• Receiver programming cable
• Computer with the Echo
®
Wireless Data Server software installed
Setting a static or dynamic IP
To check the status of the IP configuration, open the Echo
®
Wireless Data Server
Software and click the Configure IP address button.
Select the COM port the receiver programming cable is connected to.

To check the current status of the receiver, click the “Query Receiver” button.
To set a Dynamic IP, click the Dynamic IP button and hit Apply Update.
Page 9 of 9
To set a static IP, click the Static IP button and enter the desired IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway. Hit apply update to program the receiver.
After the receiver has been programmed hit Quit to close the programming menu.
