u Easy installation; no wires or programming required
u Supervision for low battery, loss of line power,
tamper, and jams
u Expanded coverage by utilizing multiple repeaters
The line-powered 900 MHz EN5040‑T High‑power
Repeater receives, decodes, and re-transmits signals
from Inovonics EchoStream platform transmitters. This
technology uses diversity reception and advanced
signal processing to reduce dead spots in transmission
areas. Each repeater acts as a range expander for any
transmission, allowing the installation to scale from
smaller commercial sites to large campuses with
several buildings. Each repeater includes an on-board,
state-of-the-art lithium-ion back-up battery. The
EN5040‑T High‑power Repeater includes a
transformer.
System overview
Powered by Inovonics
The Inovonics EchoStream platform, powered by
Inovonics wireless mesh network technology, ensures
superior range, reliability, and scalability for
commercial applications. Using a wide range of
transmitters and repeaters, this proven technology
provides flexibility and performance to meet the most
stringent requirements. This exclusive protocol is
available only on Inovonics EchoStream products.
Wireless 900 MHz Band
The Inovonics EchoStream platform sends redundant
information on several multi-frequency channels within
the FCC Part 15 900 MHz band, providing superior
u Self-configuring
u Sophisticated signal management
range and reliability. In comparison, systems that use a
single frequency technology can only send information
on one narrow band channel. Any interference within
the band can cause missed signals. With wireless
registration, it is easy to add this technology to any
application.
Repeater Network
Use multiple repeaters to create a mesh network.

1.The transmitter sends a signal.
2.Repeaters receive the signal and re-broadcast it, allowing the user
to extend the range of the RF system to cover large areas such as
installations in campuses, sites with detached buildings, or
multiple story complexes.
3.The receiver hears the signal from the repeaters and processes
accordingly.
Functions
Installation
The installation is as easy as mounting the repeater
and plugging it in. No wires or programming are
required, although registration is recommended for a
fully supervised system.
Supervision and Expansion
The repeater supervises for low battery, loss of line
power, case tamper, and jam detection. An on-board
lithium-ion battery:
• Provides backup without additional expense
• Offers up to 24 hours of continuous operation when
line power is unavailable
• Reports power loss when programmed or supervised
to a slave receiver
Installers can employ multiple repeaters in a microcellular network, providing coverage for applications
including large campuses with multiple-story buildings.
Signal Management
The repeater incorporates sophisticated signal
management, preventing ping-pong messages and
maximizing reliability.
