1 Overview
The EN7286NX serial receiver interface converts Inovonics EchoStream
wireless messages for compatibility with GE security systems. The
EN7286NX supports 48 wireless points.

3.2 Connect the EN7286NX to the NX Panel
Caution: Long cable runs should not be adjacent to high current power
feeds. Keep cable lengths as short as possible to minimize noise pickup.
Measure voltage at the serial receiver interface on long cable runs.
1. Connect the serial receiver interface data terminal block (Figure 1, G) to
the NX Panel. Cabling should meet the following specifications:
Cable requirements 4-conductor 20AWG (or larger) stranded-tinned
copper with PVC insulation rated to 300 volts at 26°C (80°F). (Belden
#8205, for example.)
Maximum cable length 30.5 meters (100 feet).
• Connect POS on the power/data terminal block (Figure 1, G) to POS
on the GE NetworX Panel.
• Connect COM on the power/data terminal block (Figure 1, G) to COM
on the GE NetworX Panel.
• Connect DATA on the power/data terminal block (Figure 1, G) to DAT A
on the GE NetworX Panel.
2. Connect the relay 1 (Figure 1, E) and 2 (Figure 1, F) terminal blocks to
external devices as desired.
3.3 Set the Serial Receiver Interface Address
Dipswitches 1 and 2 (Figure 1, H) are used to set the serial receiver
interface address. Use the following table to choose settings appropriate
for your installation:
1234

Once you have made your selection, you will need to cycle power to
complete the interface address change.

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. By default, the EN7286NX is
set for the United States. If you want to configure the EN7286NX for a
different geographic area:
1. Use a small screwdriver to press the housing release tab (Figure 1, A);
separate the housing.
2. Place a selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band selection
pins (Figure 1, L).
• 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 AUS, to set the
frequency range to 915-928 MHz for Australia.
• Place the jumper on the bottom two pins, marked NZ, to set the
frequency range to 921-928 MHz for New Zealand.
3. Remove the power source to reset.

4 Programming Location Descriptions
This section describes the programming locations specific to the
EN7286NX serial receiver interface and Inovonics transmitters. For more
information about programming, see the control panel’s installation manual.
4.1 Transmitter Enrollment Location
Location 0
Location 0 is used to initiate the enrollment of transmitters. To enroll
transmitters:
1. Enter the number of the zone to which you wish to enroll the transmitter.
2. Press * to save.
3. Within 150 seconds, press the Reset button on the transmitter you wish
to enroll.
Caution: Make sure the transmitter has not already been registered with
the receiver.
The keypad will sound a chime indicating successful enrollment of the
transmitter; if the zone number does not exist, or if a transmitter has
already enrolled to it, the keypad will sound a triple beep.
Enrollment can be stopped at any point by entering a value of 0.
If auto-increment is enabled in location 193, the next zone value will be
automatically entered into the location, and subsequent transmitters can be
enrolled without returning to the keypad. If there is no successful
enrollment within 150 seconds, the keypad will sound a triple beep.
Enrollment can be stopped at any point by entering a value of 0.
4.2 Transmitter Options Location
Locations 1-192
Up to 48 of these locations can be accessed, depending on the value of the
bank offset value in location 194. Each transmitter has three options that
can be configured.
Standard Transmitter
Option 1-5 Not used
Option 6 Supervision: off = use burg supervision; on = supervised
Option 7 Off = not supervised; on = supervised
Option 8 Off = transmitter disabled; on = transmitter enabled
4.4 Serial Receiver Interface Zone Bank Offset Location
Location 194
Normally this location is set to 0, and the corresponding zones for the serial
receiver interface are 1 through 48. If a panel that supports more than 48
zones is used, this location can be changed to allow the available zones to
start at a higher number in order to reach the highest zones of the panel. As
shown in the following table, each count of 1 in this location increases the
starting zone by 8 up to a maximum 192 zones.
0 Zones 1 - 48
1 Zones 9 - 56
2 Zones 17 - 64
3 Zones 25 - 72
4 Zones 33 - 80
5 Zones 41 - 88
. . . .
18 Zones 145 - 192
4.5 Supervision Window Location
Location 195
Range settings are from 0 - 255, in 10 minute increments. For example, a
setting of 6 will set the supervision window to 60 minutes. The first segment
is used to store the supervision window for a burg/intrusion transmitter and
the second segment is used to store the supervision window for smoke/fire
transmitter. The typical check in time for EchoStream transmitters is 3
minutes.
