EE1260 EchoStream® Passive Infrared Motion 
Detector

Installation and Operation Manual - 05375B

1 Overview

The EE1260 is a low-current motion detector highly sensitive to moving heat (infrared 
radiation) sources. It features increased immunity to radio frequency interference, 
vibration, static, lightning, ambient temperature changes, and other common causes 
of false alarms. 
The EE1260 includes a range of features, including a wall tamper capability for 
increased security, and a fixed or variable sleep time option for normal or high-traffic 
applications.

Caution: 

The EE1260 needs one minute for stabilization after power up. During the 

stabilization period, the LED will blink twice per second, and the EE1260 will not be 
operational.

2 Installation and Startup

2.1 Install/Replace Battery

To install the battery:

1.

Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw at the bottom of the EE1260 
housing; separate the housing.

2.

Install/replace the battery.

3.

Press the 

Reset

 button to initialize the transmitter.

2.3 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: 

The selection jumper is included in the EE1260 hardware packet.

2.

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

3.

Press the 

Reset

 button to initialize the transmitter.

Caution: 

When pressing the 

Reset

 button, make sure you don’t also touch the ES 

selection pins. Touching the ES selection pins while pressing the 

Reset

 button can 

inadvertently set the EE1260 to the wrong frequency band.

2.4 Select Automatic/Pulse Count

The pulse count jumper setting provides control for normal or difficult operating 
environments. Automatic pulse count is recommended for reliable operation in 
environments subject to temperature fluctuations that may cause false alarms. The 
single pulse count mode is more sensitive to minor temperature variations, and should 
be used in sites where variant heat sources will not cause false alarms.

1.

Place a selection jumper on the appropriate pulse count selection pins.

Place the jumper on the left two pins to select automatic pulse count.

Place the jumper on the right two pins to select single pulse count.

2.

Press the 

Reset

 button to complete configuration.

2.5 Select Fixed/Variable Sleep Time

The sleep time jumper setting provides control for normal or high-traffic operating 
environments. When set to fixed, if the EE1260 senses motion, it will transmit an 
alarm, then enter sleep mode for 180 seconds; if motion is sensed when the sleep 
time has expired, the EE1260 will transmit another alarm. Fixed sleep time is 
recommended for normal operating environments. When set to variable, if the EE1260 
senses motion, it will transmit an alarm, then enter sleep mode for 180 seconds; if 
motion is sensed before the sleep time has expired, the EE1260 will restart the 180 
second interval. Variable sleep time is recommended for high-traffic operating 
environments.

1.

Place a selection jumper on the appropriate sleep time selection pins.

Place the jumper on the left two pins to select fixed sleep time.

Place the jumper on the right two pins to select variable sleep time.

2.

Install the battery.

3.

Press the 

Reset

 button.

2.6 Register the Transmitter

The EE1260 must be registered with the system receiver in order to be monitored and 
supervised. Each EE1260 has a unique factory-programmed identification number. 
Refer to the receiver, network coordinator or control panel installation instructions for 
details on registering a transmitter.

1.

When prompted reset the EE1260, press the EE1260 

Reset

 button.

2.

Replace the EE1260 cover.

Caution: 

The EE1260 should be tested after registration to ensure operation. To test 

the EE1260, activate each of the conditions and ensure an appropriate response.

Note: 

The EE1260 retains programming data in non-volatile memory. It does not 

require re-programming after loss of power.

2.7 Mount the Transmitter

Mount the transmitter.

1.

Remove the EE1260 printed circuit board from the housing.

2.

Use the included hardware to mount the EE1260 housing back plate to the 
mounting surface.

a. If using the wall tamper function for increased security, mount the housing back 
plate per Figure 2, ensuring the tamper switch is depressed..

b. If not using the wall tamper, mount the housing back plate using all appropriate 
hardware.

3 Test the EE1260
