Inovonics EN4216MR Installation And Operation Manual

EN4216MR 16 Zone Multi-Condition
Receiver with Relay Outputs
Installation and Operation Manual

1 Overview

The EN4216MR receiver allows you to add up to 16 transmitters and six
outputs to any application, and includes a housing tamper for increased
tamper security.
The following add-on receivers are available from Inovonics:
Alarm Output
Receiver
Relays
EN4204R 4
EN4216MR 5
EN4232MR 11
* At least one relay must be used for faults to ensure the system is
supervised. More than one relay may be used, but that will deduct from the
number of alarm output relays.

1.1 Installing an Inovonics Security System

An EchoStream survey kit must be used to establish a UL 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 Wireless
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.
