2 Installation and Startup

2.1 Installation Notes
• These products are designed to be maintained by professional security
technicians
• Products are intended for indoor use
• All products should be manually tested weekly (see "Test the Transmitter" on
page 2)

2.2 Battery Installation

1. Remove the rear housing cover to expose the side of the board that holds the
battery.
Caution: Carefully separate the rear housing cover, ensuring the reset button plunger
assembly does not fall out of the housing (Figure 2).
2. Slide the battery under the battery holder, ensuring that it is fully inserted and that
the positive terminal (+) faces up (Figure 2).
2.3 Select the Frequency Band
EchoStream products are able to use a range of radio frequencies, and must be
configured for your geographic area. This product ships with a default frequency range
of 902-928 MHz for use in North America. If you are using the product in North
America, skip to step 6; if you are using the product in Australia or New Zealand, you
will need to configure the transmitter.
To configure the transmitter:
3. Turn the board over to access the side with the frequency band selection pins
(Figure 2).
4. Place the frequency band selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band
selection pins.
• Place the jumper on the left two pins, marked AU, to set the frequency range to
915-928 MHz for Australia.
• Place the jumper on the right two pins, marked NZ, to set the frequency range to
921-928 MHz for New Zealand.
5. Seat the board in the housing with the battery side facing the rear housing cover.
6. Replace the front housing cover.
7. Insert the three housing screws, tightening them to 1.25 inch-pounds torque.
Note: If you do not have a torque driver, tighten to a snug fit, being careful not to
overtighten.
Note: Tighten the housing screws evenly to help ensure a good seal and maintain
water-resistance.
Caution: Over-tightening the housing screws can result in microcracks in the plastic,
gaps in the gasket material, and/or stripping of the bushing. Any of these conditions
can compromise the water-resistance of the device.
2.4 Register the Transmitter
The transmitter must be registered and supervised. When supervised, the transmitter
will send check-in message to the receiver or gateway as follows:
• EN1223S: every three minutes.
• EN1223S-60: every 60 minutes.
Note: In UL 2560 installations, transmitters send a check-in message every 60
minutes.
Each transmitter has a unique factory-programmed identification number. Refer to the
receiver or gateway's installation instructions for details on registering and setting up
supervision.
8. When prompted by the receiver or gateway to reset transmitter, press the reset
button (Figure 1).
Caution: The transmitter should be tested after registration to ensure operation. See
"Test the Transmitter" on page 2.
3 Operate the Transmitter
To send an alarm, press the activation button for at least one second. Alarm signals
are transmitted multiple times and are indicated by the blinking transmission LED.
When the button is released, the transmitter sends an alarm restoral signal as
indicated by another short series of blinking transmission LED lights.
3.1 Wear the Transmitter
The pendant transmitter can be worn in three ways:
• Around the neck with neck chain attachment (included)
• On a belt with the beltclip attachment (included)
• On the arm with optional wristband accessory (ACC623S or ACC623L, sold
separately)
Caution: The neck chain included with the pendant transmitter is designed with a
breakaway feature for user safety. Substitution of a stronger cord or chain may result
in injury to the wearer.
