EN6040 Network Coordinator
Installation Instructions
1 Overview
The EN6040 network coordinator is a gateway that uses reliable frequency-
hopping, spread-spectrum technology to coordinate signals between end
devices, high-power repeaters and the application controller in a common
serial data format.
1.1 Installing an Inovonics Security System
An EchoStream survey kit should be used to establish an EchoStream
system. The EchoStream survey kit measures the signal strength of high-
power repeater and sensor messages to help optimize your EchoStream
system.
Figure 1 Sample EchoStream system
The EchoStream survey kit provides you with two signal strength
measurements: signal level and signal margin.
Signal level
The signal level is the measurement of the overall decibel level of the
message.
Signal margin
The signal margin is the measurement of the decibel level of the message,
minus the decibel level of any interfering signals. Inovonics equipment
should be placed within a facility such that all end-devices produce signal
margin readings of at least 4 decibels.
Both the signal level and signal margin are measured in decibels. Because
signal strength and signal margin are measured on a logarithmic scale, the
difference between a decibel level of 3 (Weak) and a decibel level of 4
(Good) is a much larger difference than it would be on a linear scale.
