2 Installation and Startup

2.1 Install/Replace the Battery

1.

Pry the top lip of the mounting bracket up, and lift the bracket 
off of the transmitter.

2.

Use your thumb to depress the housing release tab on the 
bottom of the transmitter; separate the housing.

3.

If replacing a battery, use the hole in the back of the housing 
to push the old battery out of the battery holder.

4.

Install the new battery.

5.

Press the 

Reset

 button to initialize the transmitter.

2.2 Select the Frequency Band

EchoStream products are able to use a range of radio 
frequencies, and must be configured for your geographic area. 
To configure the transmitter:

1.

Place a selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band 
selection pins.

• Place the jumper on the right two pins, marked NZ, to set 

the frequency range to 921-928 MHz for New Zealand.

• Place the jumper on the left two pins, marked AU, to set the 

frequency range to 915-928 MHz for Australia.

• Leave the jumper off the pins to set the frequency range to 

902-928 MHz for North America.

2.

Press the 

Reset

 button to complete configuration.

Caution: 

When pressing the 

Reset

 button, make sure you don’t 

also touch the frequency band selection pins. Touching the 
frequency band selection pins while pressing the 

Reset

 button 

can inadvertently set the EN1210 to the wrong frequency band.

3 Select Input Type

The N/O-N/C selection pins allow the choice of a normally open 
or normally closed state for the contact circuit wired to the input 
terminal.
The transmitter is shipped set for normally closed, with no 
selection jumper on the N/O selections pins.

1.

Place a selection jumper on the selection pins to select 
normally open; remove the selection jumper from the 
selection pins to select normally closed.

2.

Press the 

Reset

 button to complete configuration.

4 Register the EN1210

Transmitters must be registered with the system in order to be 
monitored and supervised. Transmitters send a check-in 
message every three minutes. Each transmitter has a unique 
factory-programmed identification number.
Refer to the receiver installation instructions for details on 
registering a transmitter.

1.

When prompted by the receiver to reset transmitter, press 
the 

Reset

 button.

2.

Replace the cover.

3.

Test the EN1210 by activating each of the conditions and 
ensuring an appropriate response.

4.1 Mount the EN1210

1.

Mount the bracket on the wall with the screws provided.

2.

Clip the transmitter onto the bracket. Hook the bottom catch 
first, then press the top into place.

3.

The housing may be secured with a third mounting screw, 
located beneath the battery.

Note: 

Accessing this screw on an active transmitter requires 

opening the housing and removing the battery, causing a tamper 
condition.

4.

To dismount the EN1210, pull the transmitter housing 
carefully out of the mounting bracket from the top.
