2 Installation and Startup
2.1 Connect Power Cabling
Before beginning startup, you will need to connect power to the receiver. To connect
power to the receiver:
Caution: Graded application must use the cabling knockout on the back of the
housing.
1. Connect power cabling to the Vs and GND connections.
• Power source should be 11-14 VDC. Power supply must be unswitched,
uninterrupted, and regulated.
2.2 Enable EchoStream Select
To meet ETSI requirements, Inovonics has developed a new line of EE 868MHz-only
products. These new 868MHz-only products are compatible with older systems that
include EchoStream Select product s. If y ou are using any ES product s in your cu rrent
system, you will need to enable EchoStre am Select comp atibi lity on this new 868MHzonly product.
To enable/disable EchoStream Select compatibility:
1. To enable compatibility with ES products, place a selection jumper on the ES
selection pins.
Note: Selection jumpers are included in the EE4216MR hardware packet .
2. If no ES products are used in your system, remove the selection jumper from the
ES selection pins.
3. Reset the receiver or cycle power.
2.3 Enter Password
There are three levels of EE4216MR user. Only the level 2 author ized user and level 3
authorized installer are able to access the I
Level 2 authorized user access: A level 2 authorized user has the ability to view
system status indicators and enter system test mode in the I
A level 2 user does not have the ability to change receiver parameters or perform
receiver functions (signal strength, test, register points, etc.). For more information on
system test mode, see “System Test Mode” on page3.
Note: The default level 2 authorized user password is 3446.
Level 3 authorized installer access: A level 3 authorized installer has the ability to
access all I
receiver system status indicators as well as change receiver system parameters and
perform all receiver functions.
Note: The default level 3 authorized installer password is 1234.
During normal operation there is no visual indication of syst em statu s or activity on t he
front display of the EE4216MR receiver . Unless the level 2 aut horized user or the level
3 authorized installer enters a valid password, the LCD will remain completely blank.

points for any of the programmed points.
Note: If changing programming for a point that already has a transmitter registered to
it, there is no need to re-register the transmitter. Changes to point programming are
automatically assigned to the transmitter registered to that point.
