2 Installation and Startup

2.1 Installation Notes

• These products are designed to be maintained by professional security
technicians

• Products are intended for indoor use

• All products should be manually tested weekly (see “Test the Transmitter” on
page 2)

2.2 Battery Installation

1. Remove the rear housing cover to expose the side of the board that holds the

battery.

Caution: Carefully separate the rear hou sing cover, ensuring the reset button pl unger
assembly does not fall out of the housing (Figure 2).

2. Slide the battery under the battery holder, ensuring t hat it is f ully inse rte d an d that
the positive terminal (+) faces up (Figure 2).

2.3 Select the Frequency Band

EchoStream products are able to use a range of radio frequencies, and must be
configured for your geographic area. This product ships with a de fault frequency range
of 902-928 MHz for use in North America. If you are using the product in North
America, skip to step 6; if you are using the product in Australia or New Zealand, you
will need to configure the transmitter.

To configure the transmitter:

3. Turn the board over to access the side with the frequency band selection pins
(Figure 2).

4. Place the frequency band selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band
selection pins.

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

• Place the jumper on the right two pins, mar ked NZ, to set t he frequency range to
921-928 MHz for New Zealand.

5. Seat the board in the housing with the battery side facing the rear housing cover.

6. Replace the front housing cover.

7. Insert the three housing screws, tightening them to 1.25 inch-pounds torque.
Note: If you do not have a torque driver, tighten to a snug fit, being careful not to

overtighten.
Note: Tighten the housing screws evenly to help ensure a good seal and maintain

water-resistance.

1.5 What’s In The Carton

Individually-packaged products include the following it ems:

• One EchoStream single-button water-resistant pendant transmitter

• One breakaway neck cord

• One beltclip attachment

• Three housing screws

• One frequency band selection jumper

• One CR2450 coin cell battery

Note: Bulk-packaged products are shi pped with mult iples of th e ab ove items, with th e
exception of batteries.

Caution: Over-tightening the housing screws can result in microcracks in the plastic,
gaps in the gasket material, and/or stripping of the bushing. Any of these condit ions
can compromise the water-resistance of the device.

2.4 Register the Transmitter

The transmitter must be registered and supervised. When supervised, the transmitter
will send check-in message to the receiver or gateway as follows:

• EN1223S: every three minutes.

• EN1223S-60: every 60 minutes.

Note: In UL 2560 installations, transmitters send a check-in message every 60
minutes.

Each transmitter has a unique factory-programmed identif ication nu mber. Refer to the
receiver or gateway's installation instructions for details on registering and setting up
supervision.

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

Caution: The transmitter should be tested after registration to ensure operation. See
“Test the Transmitter” on page 2.

3 Operate the Transmitter

To send an alarm, press the activation button for at least one second. Alarm signals
are transmitted multiple times and are indicated by the blinking transmission LED.
When the button is released, the transmitter sends an alarm resto ral signal as
indicated by another short series of blinking transmission LED lights.

3.1 Wear the Transmitter

The pendant transmitter can be worn in three ways:

• Around the neck with neck chain attachment (included)

• On a belt with the beltclip attachment (included)

• On the arm with optional wristband accessory (ACC623S or ACC623L, sold
separately)

Caution: The neck chain included with the pendant transmitter is designed with a
breakaway feature for user safety. Substitution of a stronger cord or chain may result
in injury to the wearer.

3.2 Water Exposure

UL has evaluated the single-button pendant transmitter to meet the water spray test
required under UL 2560, section 38.1. Because the single-button pendant transmitter
was not designed for submersion in water, it was not subjected to submersion tests
under that standard.

All EchoStream water-resi stant pendants also meet IP54 certificatio n standards for
dust and water ingress protection, ensuring that:

• Ingress of dust particles does not interfere with the satisfactory opera tion of the
device

• There is no harmful effect to the device caused by:

- Vertically dripping water (when device is ti lted up to 15° from normal position)

- Spraying water (falling at angles up to 60° from vertical)

- Splashing water (from any direction)

Note: IP54 certification was performe d by an independent labo ratory not af filiated with
UL.

End User Recommendations

The pendant transmitter is water-resistant, but not waterproof. The product is not
designed for submersion in water . As such, we offe r the following recommenda tions to
the end user:

Usage Situation OK to Use? Cautions

Shower Yes Do not spray water directly on the

Bath Ye s Do not submerge the device
Rain Yes Avoid extended exposure; wear the

Water Exercise No Do not use the device during these

activities

3.3 Battery Replacement

Replacement batteries can be purchased from Inovonics using the following part
numbers

• BAT609 for a single battery

• BAT609-25 for a 25-count bulk pack

To replace the batteries:

1. Remove the three housing screws on the back of the transmitter.

2. Remove the rear cover to expose the side of the board which holds the battery.
Caution: Carefully separate the rear housing cover, ensuring the reset button plunger

assembly does not fall out of the housing (Figure 2).

3. Remove the depleted battery.

4. Slide the new battery under the battery holder, ensuring that it is fully inserted and

that the positive terminal (+) faces up (Figure 2).

5. Replace the rear housing cover.

6. Replace the three housing screws, tightening them to 1.25 inch-pounds torque.

7. Once the unit has been sealed, press the reset button located on the rear hou sing

to complete the configuration (Figure 1).

Note: If you do not have a torque driver, tighten to a snug fit, being careful not to strip
the housing.

Note: Tighten the housing screws evenly to help ensure a good seal and maintain
water-resistance.

Caution: Over-tightening the housing screws can result in microcracks in the plastic,
gaps in the gasket material, and/or stripping of the bushing. Any of these conditions
can compromise the water-resistance of the device.

4 Test the Transmitter

The transmitter should be tested weekly and after registration to ensure operation.
To test the transmitter:

1. Press the activation button for at least one second and ensure the transmit LED
lights and the alarm is received by the receiver or gateway.
