EN4216MR EchoStream® Receiver
Installation and Operation Manual - 05637D, April 4, 2011
1 Overview
The EN4216MR receiver allows you to add up to 16 transmitters and six outputs to any application. With diversity reception and advanced signal processing, Inovonics EchoStream technology is designed to minimize dead spots in transmission areas.
1.1 Installing an Inovonics Security System
An EchoStream survey kit must be used to establish a UL system. The EchoStream survey kit measures the signal strength of high-power repeater and sensor messages to help optimize your EchoStream system.

Figure 1 Sample EchoStream System
The EchoStream survey kit provides you with two signal strength measurements: signal level and signal margin.
Signal level
The signal level is the measurement of the overall decibel level of the message.
Signal margin
The signal margin is the measurement of the decibel level of the message, minus the decibel level of any interfering signals. Inovonics Wireless equipment should be placed within a facility such that all end-devices produce signal margin readings of at least 4 decibels.
Both the signal level and signal margin are measured in decibels. Because signal strength and signal margin are measured on a logarithmic scale, the difference between a decibel level of 3 (Weak) and a decibel level of 4 (Good) is a much larger difference than it would be on a linear scale.
Note: For more information about the EchoStream survey kit, see the EN/ EE7016SK EchoStream® Survey Kit Installation and Operation Manual.

2 Power Cabling
Before beginning startup, you will need to connect power to the receiver. To connect power to the receiver:
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.
•Use 14 - 22 gauge wire for all cabling, and ensure torque on the screw terminals does not exceed 7 inch-pounds.
•For UL installations, wire lengths must not exceed 300 feet.

3 Select the Frequency Band
EchoStream products use a range of radio frequencies, and must be configured for your geographic area. To configure the receiver:
1.Use a small screwdriver to press the housing release tabs on the top or bottom of the receiver; separate the housing.
2.Place a selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band selection pins.
•Leave the jumper off the pins to set the frequency range to 902-928 MHz for North America.
•Place the jumper on the top two pins, marked NZ, to set the frequency range to 921-928 MHz for New Zealand
•Place the jumper on the bottom two pins, marked AUS, to set the frequency range to 915-928 MHz for Australia.
Note: North American is also selected when the jumper is only attached to one pin. This can prevent the jumper from being lost when selecting North America.
Note: Only devices set for use in North America are configured for UL installations.
3. Cycle power to reset.
4 Connect Input/Output Cabling
1.Connect cabling to the receiver power loss output. Must be configured for UL installations.
•The receiver power loss output is a normally closed (N/C) output that opens when the receiver loses power.
2.Connect cabling to the tamper output. Must be configured for UL installations.
•The tamper output is a normally open (N/O) output that reports receiver case tamper to an external device.
3.Connect cabling to the jam output. Must be configured for UL installations.
•The jam output is a normally closed (N/C) output that opens when noise thresholds on all receive channels remain above a predetermined value for 10 seconds. The jam output is set to the follower output type.
4.Connect a momentary switch to the reset input and ground. Must be configured for UL installations.
•The reset input circuit permits installation of a remote momentary normally open (N/O) switch to clear faults, unlatch outputs, and reset the receiver to a normal state.
5.Connect cabling to the output terminals. Must be configured for UL installations.
•The EN4216MR provides six Form-C relays.
6.Close receiver housing.

5 Mount the Receiver
Caution: Mount the receiver in a location removed from metal. Metal objects (duct work, wire mesh screens, boxes) will reduce RF range.
Note: For UL listed systems containing a UL hold-up switch, the EN4216MR must be located within three feet of a system keypad in a location out of sight from the protected premise.
Note: For UL installations, the EN4216MR must be in the same room as the control panel.
1. Use the provided anchors and screws to mount the receiver in a location accessible for future maintenance.
2.Perform a walk test, activating each transmitter assigned to the receiver and ensuring a good signal.
6 Factory Configuration Defaults
The EN4216MR arrives with the tamper, low battery, and inactive trouble conditions pre-programmed.

7 System Status
System status information displays alarm and fault information on the LCD display by default. Points in alarm are displayed as ALARM, with the point number following. If more than one point is in alarm, the display scrolls through each point. If a point has more than one alarm, the display scrolls through each alarm. Fault conditions are indicated by FAULT in the LCD display if there is no ALARM already displayed; point numbers are not displayed. If no point is in alarm and there are no fault conditions, READY displays.
8 Point Status
