2 Installation and Startup

2.1 Connect Power Cabling

Before beginning startup, you will need to connect power to the receiver. To connect 
power to the receiver:

Caution: 

Graded application must use the cabling knockout on the back of the 

housing. 

1.

Connect power cabling to the Vs and GND connections.

Power source should be 11-14 VDC. Power supply must be unswitched, 
uninterrupted, and regulated.

2.2 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 ES 
selection pins.

Note: 

Selection jumpers are included in the EE4232M hardware packet.

2.

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

3.

Reset the receiver or cycle power.

2.3 Enter Password

There are three levels of EE4232 user. Only the level 2 authorized user and level 3 
authorized installer are able to access the I

NSTALL

 & S

ERVICE

 menu.

Level 2 authorized user access: 

A level 2 authorized user has the ability to view 

system status indicators and enter system test mode in the I

NSTALL

 & S

ERVICE

 menu. 

A level 2 user does not have the ability to change receiver parameters or perform 
receiver functions (signal strength, test, register points, etc.). For more information on 
system test mode, see “System Test Mode” on page 3.

Note: 

The default level 2 authorized user password is 3446.

Level 3 authorized installer access: 

A level 3 authorized installer has the ability to 

access all I

NSTALL

 & S

ERVICE

 menus. A level 3 authorized installer can also view 

receiver system status indicators as well as change receiver system parameters and 
perform all receiver functions.

Note: 

The default level 3 authorized installer password is 1234.

During normal operation there is no visual indication of system status or activity on the 
front display of the EE4232M receiver. Unless the level 2 authorized user or the level 3 
authorized installer enters a valid password, the LCD will remain completely blank.
