EE5000 EchoStream® Wireless Repeater
Installation and Operation Manual
Overview
EE5000 repeaters receive, decode and retransmit signals from Inovonics nodes.
They act as range expanders for any valid Inovonics Wireless transmission,
including signals from other repeaters. Repeaters can be layered as necessary,
allowing Inovonics Wireless systems to scale from small commercial sites to
complete campuses consisting of several buildings.
For applications that require a weatherproof enclosure, the EE5000 may be
placed in the Inovonics weatherproof plastic housing, part number ACC650.
Note: The ACC650 waterproof housing has not been investigated to European
Environmental Standards.

Installation and Startup
Installation Notes
- These products are designed to be maintained by professional security technicians.
- Products are tested for indoor use. · All products should be manually tested weekly.
Connect Power Cabling
Before beginning startup, power must be connected to the repeater. To connect power to the repeater:
- Use a small screwdriver to press the housing release tab on the top of the repeater (Fig. 1).
- Connect power cabling to the power connections (Fig. 1).
• 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 30 meters (98 feet).
Connect Battery Power
The repeater is shipped with a backup battery. You will need to connect the
battery:
3. Plug the connector cable from the backup battery into the battery
connector (Fig. 1).
Connect the Tamper Terminal Block
Note: The external tamper input has not been tested to the EN50131-1
standard.
An external tamper switch can be wired to the tamper terminal block if
desired. When activated, an external tamper switch will send an alarm message
similar to that sent by the housing tamper button.
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; if you are not using any
EchoStream select products, skip to section 2.6, “Register the Repeater”.
To enable compatibility with ES products:
4. Place a selection jumper on the enable EchoStream selection pins (Fig.
1).
5. Press the reset button.
Register the Repeater
Although the repeater is functional upon startup, Inovonics Wireless strongly
recommends you register it using your receiver, network coordinator, or
control panel. Inovonics recommends all repeaters be supervised. Each
Inovonics device has a unique factory-programmed identification number. Refer
to the receiver installation instructions for details on registering a
transmitter.
6. When prompted by the receiver to reset the transmitter, press the
reset button.
Mount the Repeater
Caution: Mount the repeater in a location removed from the metal. Metal
objects (ductwork, wire mesh screens, boxes) will reduce the RF range.
7. Use the provided 6 x 1/4 mounting screws, drywall anchors and/or tape to
mount the repeater in a location accessible for future maintenance.
- In large installations, repeaters should be mounted so that every transmitter has multiple transmission paths to the serial receiver or network coordinator. This kind of redundancy preserves system integrity in the event of temporary interruptions of any transmission path in the system.
- For maximum efficiency, repeaters should be mounted with as few obstacles as possible between it and the receiver, network coordinator, or control panel.
8. Close the housing.
9. Perform a walk test, activating each transmitter assigned to the
repeater and ensuring an appropriate response.
