2 Installation and Startup
2.1 Connect Power Cabling
Before beginning startup, you will need to connect power to the receiver. To connect
power to the receiver:
Caution: Graded application must use the cabling knockout on the back of the
housing.
1. Connect power cabling to the Vs and GND connections.
• Power source should be 11-14 VDC. Power supply must be unswitched,
uninterrupted, and regulated.
2.2 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 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 EE4216MR hardware packet.
