EE5000 EchoStream® Wireless Repeater

Installation and Operation Manual - 05029D

1 Overview

EE5000 repeaters receive, decode and retransmit signals at enhanced power from

Inovonics Wireless nodes. They act as range expanders for any valid Inovonics

Wireless transmission, including signals from other repeaters. Repeaters can be

layered as necessary, allowing Inovonics Wireless systems to scale from small

commercial sites to complete campuses consisting of several buildings.

For applications that require a weatherproof enclosure, the EE5000 may be placed in

the Inovonics weatherproof plastic housing, part number ACC640.

Note: The ACC640 waterproof plastic housing has not been tested to the EN50131-1

standard.

1.1 Inovonics Wireless Contact Information

If you have any problems with this procedure, contact Inovonics Wireless technical

services:

Figure 1 EE5000 Components

2 Connect Power Cabling

Before beginning startup, power must be connected to the repeater. To connect power

to the repeater:

1. Use a small screwdriver to press the housing release tab on the top or bottom of

the repeater (Fig. 1); separate the housing.

2. Connect power cabling to the Vs and GND connections (Fig. 1).

• Wire should be two-conductor 20AWG (or larger) stranded-tinned copper with

PVC insulation rated to 300 volts at 26°C (80°F). Wire length should not exceed

30 meters (98 feet).

3 Connect Battery Power

The repeater is shipped with a fully-charged backup battery. You will need to connect

the battery:

1. Plug the connector cable from the backup battery into the battery connector (Fig.

1).

4 Connect the Tamper Terminal Block

Note: The external tamper input has not been tested to the EN50131-1 standard.

An external tamper switch can be wired to the tamper terminal block if desired. When

activated, an external tamper switch will send an alarm message similar to that sent

by the housing tamper button.

5 Enable EchoStream Select

To meet ETSI requirements, Inovonics has developed a new line of EE 868MHz-only

products. These new 868MHz-only products are compatible with older systems that

include EchoStream select products. If you are using any ES products in your current

system, you will need to enable EchoStream select compatibility on this new 868MHz-

only product.

To enable/disable EchoStream select compatibility:

1. To enable compatibility with ES products, place a selection jumper on the enable

EchoStream selection pins (Fig. 1).

2. If no ES products are used in your system, remove the selection jumper from the

EchoStream selection pins (Fig. 1).

6 Register the Repeater

Although the repeater is functional upon startup, Inovonics Wireless strongly

recommends you register it using your receiver, network coordinator or control panel.

Inovonics Wireless recommends all repeaters be supervised.

7 Grade 2 Requirements

To meet European Grade 2 requirements, the following procedures must be

performed:

7.1 Secure the Housing

There are two screw tabs on the bottom of the housing and one screw tab on the top;

all three must be used to secure the housing.

To secure the housing:

1. Open the housing

2. Drill out the three screw holes on the housing base: two on the bottom of the

housing, one on the top.

3. Use the three 6 x 1/4 screws included in your accessory pack to secure the

housing.

7.2 Cover the Indicator Lights

The indicator lights must be disabled, so that operation cannot be determined

externally.

To cover the indicator lights:

1. Open the housing.

2. Apply black electrical tape over the light-holes on the inside of the housing.

3. Close the housing.

8 Mount the Repeater

Caution: Mount the repeater in a location removed from metal. Metal objects (duct

work, wire mesh screens, boxes) will reduce RF range.

1. Use the provided anchors and screws to mount the repeater in a location

accessible for future maintenance.

• In large installations, repeaters should be mounted so that every transmitter has

multiple transmission paths to the serial receiver or network coordinator. This

kind of redundancy preserves system integrity in the event of temporary

interruptions of any transmission path in the system.

• For maximum efficiency, repeaters should be mounted with as few obstacles as

possible between it and the receiver, netword coordinator or control panel.

2. Perform a walk test, activating each transmitter assigned to the repeater and

ensuring an appropriate response.
