Serial Receiver
Installation Instructions - 05633A
1 Overview
The EE4000 serial receiver is a gateway that uses reliable frequency-
hopping, spread-spectrum technology to decode radio frequency (RF)
transmissions from end devices and high-power repeaters, and then output
the decoded data to the application controller in a common serial data
format. The EE4000 is used for all one way Inovonics applications.

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 (ES) 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 EE4000 hardware packet.
2. If no ES products are used in your system, remove the selection jumper
from the ES selection pins.
3. Cycle power.
3 Connect the Serial Cable
Caution: Long cable runs should not be adjacent to high current power
feeds. Keep cable lengths as short as possible to minimize noise pickup.
Measure voltage at the serial receiver on long cable runs.
1. Connect a serial cable to either the serial data port (Fig. 1C) or the
serial data terminal (Fig. 1D). Cabling should meet the following
specifications:
Cable requirements 4-conductor 20AWG (or larger) stranded-tinned
copper with PVC insulation rated to 300 volts at 26°C (80°F). (Belden
#8205, for example.)
Maximum cable length 15.25 meters (50 feet).
2. Route the cabling through either the bottom cabling knockout (Fig. 1E)
or the side cabling knockout (Fig. 1F).
4 Mount the Serial Receiver
Caution: Mount the serial receiver in a location removed from metal. Metal
objects (duct work, wire mesh screens, boxes) will reduce RF range.
1. Use the provided anchors and screws to mount the serial receiver in a
location accessible for future maintenance.
2. Close the serial receiver housing.
5 Serial Receiver Operation
Caution: The EchoStream system should be tested regularly to ensure
operation. To test, place the system in test mode, activate an end device,
and ensure an appropriate response.
The following LEDs are used to monitor serial receiver operation.
Transmit LED Lit when the serial receiver is transmitting data to the
application controller (Fig. 1G).
Receive LED Lit when the serial receiver is receiving data from the
application controller (Fig. 1H).
Decode LED Lit when the serial receiver is decoding an RF transmission
from another Inovonics Wireless device (Fig. 1I).
