3.3 Register End-Devices
Before beginning the site survey, you must register all survey transmitters
and/or any other end-devices you will use to conduct the survey. To register
end-devices:
17.
Highlight Register Point on the main menu.
Figure 14
The Main Menu, Register Point highlighted
18.
Press Enter to select. The Register Point menu displays.

Note:
The survey receiver can register end-devices to up to 16 points. Only
points that do not already have an end-device registered to them will
display. If all points have an end-device registered to them, the All points
are registered message displays. If this is the case, use the Delete Point
option to delete a point, and return to the Register Point screen to register
an end-device.
19.
Use the up/down buttons to highlight a point, and press enter to select.
The Press Reset Button message displays.

20.
Press the reset button on the end-devices to be registered.
21.
If registering the EN1210SK, the registration complete message
displays.
Note:
If there are no repeaters present in the site under survey an
EN1210SK may also be used to simulate the transmit power output of a
repeater.

If you are registering an EN1223SK, the simulate menu displays with
the following options.

23.
Choose Pendant if the EN1223SK will be used to simulate a pendant
transmitter; choose Two-Way if the transmitter will be used to simulate
a two-way end-device.
24.
Repeat steps 17 through 23 for each end-device you want to register.
3.4 Register High-Power Repeaters
If no high-power repeaters are registered to a point, the EN4016SK will use
every high-power repeater in your EchoStream system to determine the
end-device RF signal strength for the first hop and last hop, displaying the
results on the point status signal strength screen.
If you would like to see the first hop results from specific high-power
repeaters, you will need to register the high-power repeaters to be
monitored. (Last hop information from an end-device, however, will
continue to be influenced by all repeaters in the system.) High-power
repeaters are registered in the same way as end-devices. Refer to section
3.3, “Register End-Devices” to register a high-power repeater, pressing the
high-power repeater reset button to complete registration.
If you want to monitor signal strength from just a registered high-power
repeater (as opposed to an end-device), refer to section 4, “Perform a Site
Survey using Survey Transmitters”, and choose the point to which you
registered the high-power repeater. Messages the high-power repeater is
repeating are not included in the signal strength information; only
supervision, reset/restoral and tamper messages count towards signal
strength information.
4 Perform a Site Survey using Survey Transmitters
The survey receiver provides continuous monitoring of the signal strength
of end devices and high-power repeaters using the end-device and
repeater transmission received symbols (* and +) on the display screen
and the sounder or headphones. If receiving a good signal, the
transmission symbols will beat once a second and the survey receiver will
beep accordingly.
1.
Prepare a site map, indicating where you plan to mount all end-devices
and the receiver.
2.
Place the survey transmitters where you are planning to mount your
network coordinator or receiver.
Note:
Place the survey transmitters as close as possible to the point where
you will place the receiver. Pay attention to height; if you are planning to
mount the receiver at a six-foot height, position the transmitter at the same
height.
3.
Press the EN1223SK on/off button to begin test transmissions (5).
Note:
Test transmission will continue for four hours, unless stopped. Press
the on/off button again to stop test transmission. Each time the on/off
button is toggled, a new four-hour time-out will begin.
4.
Open the EN1210SK housing and press the on/off button to begin test
transmissions (6).
Note:
Test transmission will continue for four hours, unless stopped. Press
the on/off button again to stop test transmission. Each time the on/off
button is toggled, a new four-hour time-out will begin.
5.
Walk the receiver to the first point of coverage and place the receiver
where you will locate the first end-device.
Note:
To ensure an accurate signal reading, place the receiver as close as
possible to the point where you will mount the end-device. If mobile end-
devices will be used, check signals from the most difficult locations from
which users may activate alarms.
