Note: 

The inside cover of the housing includes a wiring diagram.

1.6 What’s in the Carton

• Two drywall anchors.

• Two mounting screws.

• One selection jumper.

2 Installation and Startup

2.1 Installation Notes

• These products are designed to be maintained by professional 

security technicians.

• Products are tested for indoor use.

• Do not mount wireless smoke detectors, co detectors, initiating device 

transmitters or repeaters to removable surfaces, such as ceiling tiles. 

• All products should be manually tested weekly.

• The EN4232MR must be installed within 30 m (98.5 ft) of control unit.

• Low power transmitters shall be limited to a single initiating device.

2.2 Power Cabling

Caution: 

Incorrect connections may cause damage to the unit.

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

connect power to the receiver:

1.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the housing release screw; open 

the housing.

2.

Connect power cabling to the Vs and GND connections.

• The power source must be 11-14 VDC; 500mA. The power supply 

must be unswitched, uninterrupted, and regulated.

• Use 18 - 22 gauge wire for all cabling, and ensure torque on the screw 

terminals does not exceed 7 inch-pounds.

2.3 Select the Frequency Band

EchoStream products are able to use a range of radio frequencies, and are 

shipped from Inovonics set for your geographic area.

• The jumper will be set on the two pins marked NZ to set the frequency 

range to 921-928 MHz for New Zealand.

• The jumper will be set on the two pins marked AU to set the frequency 

range to 915-928 MHz for Australia.

• The jumper will be removed to set the frequency band to 902-928 

MHz for North America.

1.

Ensure the frequency band is set for your geographic are.

2.

If the frequency band is not set for your geographic area, place a 

selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band selection pins to 

select Australia or New Zealand, or remove it for North America.

Note: 

Only devices set for use in North America are configured for UL 

installations. 

3.

If you have changed the frequency band and the device is powered on, 

press the reset button to complete configuration.

2.4 Input/Output Cabling

Connect the inputs and outputs per your specific application:

4.

Connect cabling to the power loss output. Must be configured for UL 

installations.

• The power loss output is a normally closed (N/C) open collector output 

that opens when the receiver loses power. The receiver operation 

output is set to the follower output type. 

5.

Connect cabling to the tamper output. Must be configured for UL 

installations. 

• The optional tamper output is a relay output that reports receiver case 

tamper to an external device.

6.

Connect cabling to the jam output. Must be configured for UL 

installations.

• The optional jam output is a relay output that is active when noise 

thresholds on all transmission channels remain above a 

predetermined value for 10 seconds.

7.

Connect a momentary switch to the reset input and ground. Must be 

configured for UL installations.

• The optional reset input circuit permits installation of a remote 

momentary normally open (N/O) switch to clear faults, unlatch 

outputs, and reset the receiver to a normal state.

8.

Connect cabling to the output terminals. Must be configured for UL 

installations.

2.5 Mount the Receiver

Caution: 

Mount the receiver in a location removed from metal. Metal 

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

Note: 

For UL listed systems containing a UL hold-up switch, the 

EN4232MR must be located within three feet of a system keypad in a 

location out of sight from the protected premise.

9.

Use the provided anchors and screws to mount the receiver in a 

location accessible for future maintenance, making sure the housing is 

flush with the wall and the back tamper switch is actuated.

10.

After all transmitters have been registered, perform a walk test, 

activating each transmitter assigned to the receiver and ensuring a 

good signal.
