2 Installation and Startup

2.1 Install/Replace the Battery

1. Insert a small screwdriver to depress the housing release tab

on the bottom of the transmitter; pry the housing apart.

Figure 2 Open the EN1216 Housing

2. If replacing a battery, remove the old battery.

3. Install the new battery.

4. Press the Reset button to initialize the transmitter.

5. Test the transmitter and ensure appropriate response.

2.2 Contact Wiring

The transmitter has a three-terminal contact block that can
connect inputs from one or two external contact loops. The
middle terminal is a ground, which is shared by both contact
loops. Input one can be configured for either a normally open or
a normally closed contact loop; input two is always normally
closed.

3 Select Input Type

The N/O-N/C selection pins allow the choice of a normally open
or normally closed state for the contact circuit wired to the input
one terminal.
The terminal is shipped set for normally closed, with no selection
jumper on the N/O selections pins.

1. Place a selection jumper on the selection pins to select
normally open; remove the selection jumper from the
selection pins to select normally closed.

2. Press the Reset button to complete configuration.

3.1 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 transmitter:

1. Place a selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band
selection pins.

• Place the jumper on the left two pins, marked NZ, to set the
frequency range to 921-928 MHz for New Zealand.

• Place the jumper on the right two pins, marked AU, to set
the frequency range to 915-928 MHz for Australia.

• Leave the jumper off the pins to set the frequency range to
902-928 MHz for North America.

2. Press the Reset button to complete configuration.
Caution: When pressing the Reset button, make sure you don’t

also touch the frequency band selection pins. Touching the
frequency band selection pins while pressing the Reset button
can inadvertently set the EN1216 to the wrong frequency band.

3.2 Register the EN1216

Transmitters must be registered with the system in order to be
monitored and supervised. When supervised, the transmitter will
send a check-in message to the receiver every three minutes.
Each transmitter has a unique factory-programmed identification
number.
The EN1216 includes a back tamper switch. The tamper
condition must be defined within the control panel as a trouble
condition when the system is disarmed, and as an alarm
condition when the system is armed.
Refer to the receiver installation instructions for details on
registering a transmitter.

1. When prompted by the receiver to reset transmitter, press
the Reset button (Figure 1).

2. Replace the cover.

3. Test the transmitter and ensure appropriate response.

3.3 Mount the EN1216

1. Route the external wiring through the wall, as shown in

Figure 3.

2. Mount the transmitter to the wall using the the wall-mount
screw holes (Figure 1), ensuring the housing is flush against
the wall and the wall tamper switch is firmly depressed.

Figure 3 Mount the Transmitter to the Wall

3. Close the housing.

4. Secure the housing through the enclosed housing screw hole

(Figure 1). Accessing this screw on an active transmitter
requires opening the housing, causing a tamper condition.
