3. To set the high power repeater to directed messaging, remove the
selection jumper installed on the messaging mode selection pins.
2.4 Connect Power Cabling
Power must be connected to the high power repeater. To connect power to
the high power repeater:
4. Use a small screwdriver to press the housing release tab on the top or
bottom of the high power repeater (Figure 2); separate the housing.
5. Connect power cabling (Figure 2).
• Wire should be two-conductor 20AWG (or larger) stranded-tinned
copper with PVC insulation rated to 300 volts at 26°C (80°F). Wire
length should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Note: For all UL installations, cabling must be UL Listed or Recognized,
Class 2 wire suitable for the application. Use two-conductor 20 AWG (or
larger) stranded-tinned copper, rated 300 volts, 60°C minimum. Wire length
should not exceed 100 meters.
• See section 1, “Overview” on page 1 for approved Class 2
transformers.
• Route the cable from the transformer to the unit through the left side of
the repeater, or through the oval knock-out section in the rear.
• Torque screw terminal to 0.25 N-m (2.18 lb-in).
Note: Do not secure transformer for Canadian installations.
2.5 Connect Battery Power
The high power repeater is shipped with a fully-charged backup battery.
You will need to connect the battery:
6. Plug the connector cable from the backup battery into the battery
connector (Figure 2).
2.6 Register the High Power Repeater
Although the high power repeater is functional upon startup, Inovonics
strongly recommends you register it using the EN6080 area control
gateway. Inovonics recommends all high power repeaters be supervised.
When supervised, the EN5040 and EN5040-T will send a check-in
message to the receiver every three minutes; the EN5040-20T will send a
check-in message every 20 minutes.
Note: In UL 2560 installations, the repeater sends a check-in message
every 20 minutes.
Note: Registration and supervision is required for UL installations.
Note: In UL 2560 installations, refer to the EN6080 Area Control Gateway
User Manual for registration information; in other UL installations, refer to
the EN4216MR Installation and Operation Manual, the EN4232MR
Installation and Operation Manual, or the EN7285 Installation Instructions.
Caution: The reset bit will not be sent when the high power repeater has a
low battery. Before registering the high power repeater, ensure the battery
is fully charged.
2.7 Mount the High Power Repeater
For best results, you will want to mount the high power repeater vertically,
so that the antennae are oriented as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 High power repeater antenna orientation
Caution: Mount the high power repeater in a location removed from metal.
Metal objects (duct work, wire mesh screens, boxes) will reduce RF range.
Caution: In UL 2560 installations, the unit must be mounted with the cable
opening facing downward as shown in Figure 3.
7. Use the provided anchors and screws to mount the high power repeater
in a location accessible for future maintenance.
• In large installations, high power repeaters should be mounted so that
every transmitter has multiple transmission paths to the EN6080 area
control gateway. This kind of redundancy preserves system integrity in
the event of temporary interruptions of any transmission path in the
system.
• For maximum efficiency, high power repeaters should be mounted
with as few obstacles as possible between them and the EN6080 area
control gateway.
• Always perform a walk test after mounting, activating each transmitter
assigned to the high power repeater and ensuring an appropriate
response.
2.8 Enable the Wall Tamper
The wall tamper must be enabled. If the high power repeater is removed
from the wall, the cutout on the back of the housing will detach, activating a
tamper alarm. To enable the wall tamper.
8. Attach one of the mounting screws to the wall through the tamper
mounting hole (Figure 2).
2.9 Close the Housing
The housing must be closed and the tamper spring in place to ensure the
security of your system.
9. Check that the tamper spring is in place and makes contact with the
high power repeater housing.
10. Close the housing.
