Installation Instructions
1 Overview
The Inovonics EN6080 area control gateway bridges the proprietary
Inovonics commercial mesh network to a standard TCP-IP over Ethernet
LAN. Featuring a PSIA 0.8 compliant set of RESTful web services, the
EN6080 area control gateway is designed to ensure interoperability with
other IP-enabled devices across the security industry.
1.1 Installing an Inovonics Security System
An EchoStream survey kit should be used to establish an EchoStream
system. The EchoStream survey kit measures the signal strength of highpower repeater and sensor messages to help optimize your EchoStream
system.
1.2 Maximum Number of Repeaters for a UL 2560
Installation
To achieve the 99.99% alarm message reliability required for UL 2560
compliance, system installations must operate within the following limits for
end device and repeater counts.
End Devices Maximum
150 397
250 386
350 375
500 360
1000 313
2000 238
3000 184

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 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
Manual.

Diagnostic LEDs
Static LED: Yellow indicates the EN6080 is using a static IP address; green
indicates the EN6080 is using a dynamic IP address obtained from the
network; no illumination indicates the EN6080 has been configured to use
a dynamic IP address but has not obtained one from the network, or there
is no Ethernet connection.
Alarm LED: Red indicates an alarm in the wireless network.
Fault LED: Yellow indicates a tamper, low battery or repeater line power
loss fault in the wireless network.
1.6 What’s in the Carton
• One CR1220 backup battery
• Five drywall anchors
• Five mounting screws
• One frequency band selection jumper
2 Installation and Startup
2.1 Installation Notes
• These products are designed to be maintained by professional
security technicians.
• Products are tested for indoor use.
• All products should be manually tested weekly.
2.2 Connect Power Cabling and Install Backup Battery
Note: The EN6080 area control gateway is Power over Ethernet (PoE)
capable on any network supporting the IEEE 802.3at-2009 PoE+ standard.
Power over Ethernet will only function when line power is not present.
To use line power, you will need to connect a power source to the EN6080
area control gateway. To do so:
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the housing cover release screw
2. Lift the cover off the hinges on the top of the housing.
(Figure 3).
3. Route the power cabling through the cabling ports on the bottom of the
housing (Figure 3).
• If not using the included ACC610 14 VAC/20VA transformer, use 1422 guage wire for all cabling.
Note: For UL 2560 installations, all cabling must be UL Listed or
Recognized, Class 2 wire suitable for the application. If connecting cabling
to a DC power source, such as the included transformer, use twoconductor 14-22 AWG stranded-tinned copper, rated 300 volts, 60°C
minimum.
4. Connect to the power connection terminal block.
• If connecting cabling to a DC power source, ensure polarity
corresponds to the + and - connections; an AC power source does not
require specific polarity and can use either connection.
• Ensure torque on the screw terminals does not exceed 0.35 - 0.4 Nm
(3.1 - 3.5 inch-pounds).
5. Insert the backup battery in the battery holder (Figure 3).
Note: It is a best practice to install the backup battery just prior to powering
on the EN6080 area control gateway.
6. Connect the power cabling to your power source.
• The power source must be 12-24 VAC or VDC. The power supply
must be unswitched, uninterrupted and regulated.
Note: For UL 2560 installations, a Class 2 plug-in transformer, rated
14VAC/120VAC-20VA, must be used with the EN6080 area control
gateway if Power over Ethernet is not provided. Approved Class 2
transformers include the MPI-NEO Co., Ltd., Model W48A-K1429-2T
transformer availabe from Inovonics as part number ACC610, as well as
the Good Power Electronics, Ltd., Model T48141428V010G or
T48141428V020G transformers.
2.3 Select the Frequency Band
EchoStream devices are able to use a range of radio frequencies, and must
be configured for your geographic area. This device ships with a default
frequency range of 902-928 MHz for use in North America. If you are using
the device in North America, skip to 2.4, “Connect Ethernet Cabling”; if you
are using the device in Australia or New Zealand, you will need to configure
it.
7. Place a selection jumper on the frequency band selection pins
appropriate to your geographic area (Figure 3).
• 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.
8. Press the reset button to complete configuration (Figure 3).
2.4 Connect Ethernet Cabling
Note: For UL 2560 installations, a UL Certified PoE switch or injector must
be used if the EN6080 area control gateway is to be powered with PoE.
The EN6080 area control gateway connects to network components in a
wired local area network (LAN) using the RJ45 Ethernet jack. T o connect to
a LAN:
9. Connect one end of a RJ45 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 Ethernet jack on
the EN6080 area control gateway (Figure 3).
10. Route the Ethernet cable through the cabling ports on the bottom of the
housing (Figure 3).
11. Connect the other end of the RJ45 Ethernet cable to an RJ45 Ethernet
jack connected to your LAN.
12. To relieve stress on the Ethernet and power cabling, secure it to the
cabling tie loop with a tie (Figure 3).
2.5 Mount the EN6080 Area Control Gateway
Caution: Mount the EN6080 area control gateway in a location removed
from metal. Metal objects (duct work, wire mesh screens, boxes) will
reduce RF range.
Caution: Per FCC RF exposure requirements, the EN6080 should be
mounted in a location where it will be no closer than 100cm from nearby
persons.
Note: To meet UL 2560 requirements, the EN6080 area control gateway
must be mounted in a manner that allows the cable openings to face
downward.
