Proper Product Disposal At End Of Life
EU Directive 2012/19/EU: Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
This symbol indicates that the product must not be disposed of as general industrial or domestic
waste. This product should be disposed of through suitable WEEE disposal facilities. For more
information about disposal of this product, contact your local authority, distributor, or the
manufacturer.
Wireless Security Warning
Wireless data transmission can extend beyond your walls and can be received by anyone with a compatible
adapter. Without proper protection, data can be compromised. Use the security features of all wireless
equipment in your network.
• Bluetooth communication should always be set to OFF unless the functionality is required.
• If possible, pair devices ONLY when in a physically secure area.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules / Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditionssuivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2)
l'utilisateur del'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage estsusceptible d'en
compromettre le fonctionnement.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum
(or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users,
the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peutfonctionner avec une antenne
d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire
les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain
de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à
l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

EchoView User’s Guide
5. Operation
The EchoView only operates in RTR (Router) mode. Therefore, when it is turned on, it is always
operational.
Whenever you start EchoView, it tries to rejoin the last network it was part of. Therefore, if the
network is within range and if the channel and Pan ID have not changed, the EchoView should be
able to rejoin the network without action on your part.
Make sure the battery with sufficient charge is installed before operating the EchoView. Refer to
page 35 for information on battery installation and replacement.
5.1. Enable The FMC2000 Controller’s EchoView
Function
The EchoView can only receive data from an FMC2000 Controller if the controller is configured to
broadcast data to it by enabling its EchoView Function. Therefore, you should perform this simple
configuration before adding one or more EchoViews to a network.
To enable the Pager function on the FMC2000 Controller:
1. Press the “MENU” key from Normal Operation Mode to enter the Configuration menu.
2. Provide a 4-digit password (the default value is 1234).
3. Press “Enter.”
4. The “General Settings” icon is highlighted. Press “Enter.”
5. Scroll to “Advanced Settings.”
6. Press “Enter.”
7. Input the advanced (6-digit) password.
8. Press Enter.
9. Input the 6-digit advanced password (the default is 123456).
10. Press Enter.
11. Scroll through the options until “EchoView” is highlighted.
12. Press “Enter.”
13. Select “All Alm” (all alarms) or “SNS Alarm” (sensor alarms, including High, Low, etc.) by using
the up and down arrows. (There is also a “Disable” option that shuts off EchoView functionality.)
14. Press “Enter” to lock in your selection and exit the EchoView Function menu.
The FMC2000 Controller is now broadcasting its data for EchoViews.

5.2. Turning The EchoView On
Hold down the [MODE] key and release it when the EchoView display and LED lights light up. The
display indicates that the unit is now on:
During startup, the display shows the firmware version:
Next, it shows the firmware’s build date and time:
This is followed by the Unit Mode and Modem Type:
Note: Modem type relates to its permanently set operating frequency. For further information, refer
to page 23.
13
EchoView User’s Guide
Then the EchoView initializes the wireless network. When the network is found and communication
is established, the main reading screen is shown. It includes signal strength, battery charge, and
the identification numbers of all monitors on the network:
The monitor name shown on the EchoView screen is either the ID of the monitor’s radio.
Important! Each name on a network must be unique. The automatically assigned radio ID is unique by
default.
Note: If no monitors are within the EchoView's range, its display will only show the radio-on indicator,
battery charge, and buzzer on/off icon.
If you see this screen, check the following:
• Is the antenna attached?
• Does the Pan ID match the network you want to join?
• Does the Channel match the channel on which the other instruments are operating?
• Are the other instruments turned on and within range?
• Did you change the Pan ID or Channel? If so, restart the instrument.
• Is the FMC2000 Controller’s Pager Function enabled? If not, enable it.
5.3. Turning The EchoView Off
Hold down the [MODE] key through the “5…4…3… 2… 1… Power Off” sequence. The EchoView is
off when the display is blank. Release the [MODE] key.
The EchoView is now off.

5.4. Battery Indicator
The EchoView’s internal battery is designed to provide power for up to 10 days. When the battery
gets low, the EchoView beeps once per minute and the battery icon is empty. See page 35 for the
replacement procedure. It is recommended that the battery be changed immediately, to minimize
potential downtime. When the battery is almost completely depleted, the LCD displays “Power off,”
and the LED and buzzer alarms activate once per second. The battery icon also blinks on and off.
The low battery alarm continues until the battery runs out. Then the unit shuts down automatically.
Battery power is indicated with an icon in the lower right corner of the screen, below the wireless
communication indicator and buzzer icon:
Charge
Battery charge is shown from empty to full:
Indicator
Note: For a fixed-system application, an external power source, the RAE PowerPak, can be used
as a substitute for the internal battery. Only remove the external battery adapter in non-hazardous
locations.
5.5. Buzzer (Audible Alarm) Off Indicator
The EchoView’s buzzer (audible alarm) can be turned off, so the LED visible alarms flash but there
is no sound when in alarm. The icon on the main screen indicates its state.
