1 Overview
Inovonics EchoStream technology is designed to minimize dead spots in
transmission areas using diversity reception and advanced signal
processing. The EN4232MR receiver allows you to add up to 32
transmitters and 12 outputs to any application, and includes a back tamper
for increased tamper security.
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
Caution: Incorrect connections may cause damage to the unit.
Before beginning startup, you will need to connect power to the receiver. T o
connect power to the receiver:
1. Connect power cabling to the Vs and GND connections.
• The power source must be 11-14 VDC. The 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.

Default Trouble Condition Programming
4 Input/Output Cabling
Connect the inputs and outputs per your specific application:
1. Connect cabling to the power loss output. Must be configured for UL
installations.
• The power loss output is a normally closed (N/C) output that opens
when the receiver loses power. The receiver operation output is set to
the follower output type.
2. Connect cabling to the tamper output. Must be configured for UL
installations.
• The optional tamper output is a relay output that reports receiver case
tamper to an external device.
3. Connect cabling to the jam output. Must be configured for UL
installations.
• The optional jam output is a relay output that is active when noise
thresholds on all transmission channels remain above a
predetermined value for 10 seconds.
4. Connect a momentary switch to the reset input and ground. Must be
configured for UL installations.
• The optional 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.
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 EN423 2MR 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 EN4232MR 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, making sure the housing is
flush with the wall and the back tamper switch is actuated.
2. After all transmitters have been registered, perform a walk test,
activating each transmitter assigned to the receiver and ensuring a
good signal.
6 Factory Configuration Defaults
The EN4232MR arrives with the outputs pre-programmed. If the default

through each alarm. Fault conditions are indicated by F
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, R
displays.

12 Television and Radio Interference
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.
