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 (ES) products. If you are not using any
ES products in your current system, skip to section 2.4, “Select
Automatic/Pulse Count”; 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 EchoStream Select compatibility:
4. Place a selection jumper on the ES selection pins.
Note: The selection jumper is included in the EE1261 hardware packet.
5. Press the reset button.
Select Automatic/Pulse Count
The pulse count jumper setting provides a control for normal or difficult
operating environments. An automatic pulse count is recommended for reliable
operation in environments subject to temperature fluctuations that may cause
false alarms. The single pulse count mode is more sensitive to minor
temperature variations and should be used in sites where variant heat sources
will not cause false alarms. The EE1261 is configured for a single pulse count
by default. If you are planning to use the EE1261 in single pulse count, skip
to section 2.5, “Select Fixed/Variable Sleep Time”; if you are planning to use
the EE1261 in automatic pulse count, you will need to configure it.
To configure the EE1261 for automatic pulse count:
6. Move the selection jumper on the pulse count selection pins to the left
two pins, marked AUTO, to select automatic pulse count.
7. Press the reset button.
Select Fixed/Variable Sleep Time
When set to variable, if the EE1261 senses motion, it will transmit an alarm,
then enter sleep mode for the sleep time duration; if motion is sensed before
the sleep time duration has expired, the EE1261 will restart the sleep time
duration. Variable sleep time is the recommended, default setting for high-
traffic commercial environments.
When set to fixed, if the EE1261 senses motion, it will transmit an alarm,
then enter sleep mode until the sleep time duration expires; if motion is
sensed when the sleep time duration has expired, the EE1261 will transmit
another alarm. Fixed sleep time is only recommended for low-traffic,
residential operating environments.
The EE1261 is configured for variable sleep time by default. If you are
planning to use the EE1261 in variable sleep time, skip to section 2.6,
“Select Sleep Duration”; if you are planning to use the EE1261 in fixed sleep
time, you will need to configure it. To configure the EE1261 for fixed sleep
time:
8. Move the selection jumper on the sleep time selection pins to the left
two pins, marked FIX, to select fixed sleep time.
9. Press the reset button.
Select Sleep Duration
If the sleep duration is set to maximum, the sleep duration will be 180
seconds. Maximum is the recommended, default setting for most environments.
If the sleep duration is set to a minimum and the sleep time is set to fix,
the EE1261 will have a sleep time of 15 seconds for the first six
transmissions while motion is still sensed, followed by one extended sleep
period of 180 seconds. If the sleep duration is set to a minimum and the sleep
time is set to variable, the EE1261 will have a sleep time of 15 seconds.
Caution: EE1261 motion detectors set in the minimum mode will have a
decreased battery life.
The EE1261 is configured for maximum sleep duration by default. If you are
planning to use the EE1261 set for maximum sleep duration, skip to section
2.7, “Using Sleep Time and Sleep Duration”; if you are planning to use the
EE1261 set for minimum sleep duration, you will need to configure it.
To configure the EE1261 for minimum sleep duration:
10. Move the selection jumper on sleep duration selection pins to the right
two pins, marked MIN, to select a minimum sleep duration.
11. Press the reset button.
Using Sleep Time and Sleep Duration
Maximizing battery life
To prolong the battery life of the EE1261, select MAX on the sleep duration
pins, and VAR on the sleep time selection pins. With the variable sleep timer
active and the sleep duration set to maximum, the detector first sends an
alarm and then sleeps for 180 seconds. If the detector sees movement during
this time, it restarts the sleep timer and doesn’t send an alarm. This mode is
recommended for high-traffic environments with frequent activity during
disarmed periods.
Increasing catch rate (and UK DD243 installations)
To maintain optimum detection immediately following system arming, select MIN
on the sleep duration pins, and FIX on the sleep time selection pins.
When the detector sees motion it goes to sleep for 15 seconds. If the detector
sees movement during this time and is still active, it sends a new activation
at the end of the 15-second window. The detector continues to do this for five
more cycles. After six consecutive cycles, the detector goes to sleep for an
extended 180 second period to conserve batteries. This mode may be used for
DD243 installations in the UK. Battery life may be significantly shortened by
use of this setting.
Adjust sensitivity
The sensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted to fit your specific
application, as needed. To adjust sensitivity:
12. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to turn the sensitivity adjustment dial.
- Turn the dial to the left, towards the minus sign, to decrease the motion detector’s sensitivity.
- Turn the dial to the right, towards the plus sign, to increase the motion detector’s sensitivity.
Note: Only the mid to high setting of the sensitivity adjustment dial is
EN 50131-2-2 compliant.
13. Press the reset button.
Register the Transmitter
The EE1261 must be registered with the system receiver in order to be
monitored and supervised. Each EE1261 has a unique factory-programmed
identification number. Refer to the receiver, network coordinator, or control
panel installation instructions for details on registering a transmitter.
14. When prompted, press the reset button.
Caution: The EE1261 should be tested after registration to ensure
operation. To test the EE1261, activate each of the conditions and ensure an
appropriate response.
Caution: When pressing the reset button, make sure you don’t also touch the
EchoStream Select pins. Touching the EchoStream Select pins while pressing the
reset button can inadvertently set the EE1261 to the wrong frequency band.
Note: The EE1261 retains programming data in non-volatile memory. It does
not require re-programming after the loss of power.
Mount the Transmitter
Mount the transmitter.
15. Loosen the pcb mounting screw enough to slide the board back over the
keyhole slot.
16. Lift and remove the EE1261 pcb from the housing.
17. Use the included hardware to mount the EE1261 housing backplate to the
mounting surface.
- If using the wall tamper function for increased security, mount the housing backplate per Figure 3, ensuring the tamper switch is depressed.

- Loosen the pcb mounting screw enough to slide the board back over the keyhole slot.
- Lift and remove the EE1261 pcb from the housing.
- Attach the housing to the bracket.
- Replace the pcb and slide it into position so that the pcb mounting screw is holding the board in place.
- Tighten the pcb mounting screw.
Note: Any obstruction to the detector’s field of view will degrade its performance and reliability. Make sure the detector is mounted with a clear line of sight.
Test the EE1261
Caution: The EE1261 should be tested after registration to ensure operation. To test the EE1261, activate each of the conditions and ensure an appropriate response.
Perform a Walk Test
The walk test is performed to ensure motion is sensed and an RF transmission results. To perform a walk test:
- Swipe the magnet past the reed switch. The five-minute walk test will begin; every time motion is sensed, the LED will light and the EE1261 will transmit a signal.
- Walk-in front of the motion detector to test the sensor.
- After five minutes the walk test will automatically end.
Note: The EE1261 will remain in a tamper condition during the walk test.
Operation
The EE1261 transmitter signals an alarm condition when motion is detected by the sensor.
