Inovonics EN1216 — EchoStream Dual Input Transmitter with Wall Tamper Installation Guide

Installation instructions for the Inovonics EN1216 EchoStream® Universal Dual Input Transmitter with Wall Tamper — a wireless dual-input transmitter with an integrated back tamper switch for wall-mounted contacts and sensors (Installation Instructions 05181E).

Overview

The EN1216 is a universal dual-input transmitter with an included wall tamper switch, usable with any NO/NC contact or sensor. It includes two inputs for maximum flexibility, and requires use of a serial receiver or network coordinator along with an application supporting advanced functionality.

EN1216 Components

• A — Housing tamper button
• B — NO/NC selection pins
• C — Input 1 terminal
• D — Ground
• E — Input 2 terminal
• F — Reset button
• G — Wall-mount screw holes
• H — Housing screw hole
• I — Frequency band selection pins

Install / Replace the Battery

1. Insert a small screwdriver to depress the housing release tab on the bottom of the transmitter; pry the housing apart.
2. If replacing a battery, remove the old battery.
3. Install the new battery.
4. Press the Reset button to initialize the transmitter.
5. Test the transmitter and ensure appropriate response.

Contact Wiring

The transmitter has a three-terminal contact block that connects inputs from one or two external contact loops. The middle terminal is a shared ground. Input one can be configured normally open or normally closed; input two is always normally closed.

Select Input Type

The terminal ships set for normally closed, with no jumper on the N/O selection pins.

1. Place a jumper on the selection pins to select normally open; remove the jumper to select normally closed.
2. Press the Reset button to complete configuration.

Select the Frequency Band

EchoStream products use a range of radio frequencies and must be configured for your geographic area:

• Jumper on the left two pins (marked NZ): 921–928 MHz for New Zealand.
• Jumper on the right two pins (marked AU): 915–928 MHz for Australia.
• No jumper on the pins: 902–928 MHz for North America.

Press the Reset button to complete configuration. Caution: Avoid touching the frequency band selection pins while pressing Reset — this can inadvertently set the wrong frequency band.

Register the EN1216

Transmitters must be registered with the system to be monitored and supervised, sending a check-in message every three minutes. Each transmitter has a unique factory-programmed identification number.

The EN1216 includes a back tamper switch. The tamper condition must be defined in the control panel as a trouble condition when the system is disarmed, and as an alarm condition when armed.

1. When prompted by the receiver to reset the transmitter, press the Reset button.
2. Replace the cover.
3. Test the transmitter and ensure appropriate response.

Mount the EN1216

1. Route the external wiring through the wall.
2. Mount the transmitter to the wall using the wall-mount screw holes, ensuring the housing sits flush against the wall and the wall tamper switch is firmly depressed.
3. Close the housing.
4. Secure the housing through the enclosed housing screw hole. Note: accessing this screw on an active transmitter requires opening the housing, causing a tamper condition.
