Contains FCC ID:MCQ-XB900HP The enc osed device comp ies with Part 15 of the FCC Ru es.
Operation is subject to the fo owing two conditions: (i.) this device may not cause harmfu
interference and (ii.) this device must accept any interference received, inc uding interference that
may cause undesired operation.
If the device is used with any antenna other than the one supp ied, the system may not comp y
with the FCC regu ation Part 15.247, Operation within the icense-free band 902 – 928 MHz.
Contact the manufacturer regarding use of optiona high-gain antennas.
WARNING: To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobi e transmitting devices, a separation
distance of 20 cm or more shou d be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons
during device operation. To ensure comp iance, operations at c oser than this distance are not
recommended. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co- ocated in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.

2. Overview
2. Overview
The Buckeye Cam X80 Series inc udes wire ess cameras, sensors, repeaters, and actuators. A
of the avai ab e devices work seam ess y together and may be contro ed and monitored with the
X-Series Network Manager software app ication. Before using the X80 Echo, it is important to be
fami iar with X-Series Network Manager. User's manua s and video tutoria s may be found at
www.buckeyecam.com/site/support.htm .
The X80 Echo combines a passive infrared motion detector (PIR), a contact c osure input, and an
RF repeater in a sing e device. When added to an X80 wire ess network, it can be used for any of
the fo owing functions:
● Extending the transmission range of wire ess cameras
● Extending the motion detection range of wire ess cameras
● Triggering mu tip e wire ess cameras from one motion sensor
● Triggering a sing e wire ess camera from mu tip e motion sensors
● Interfacing with other sensor types (i.e. seismic, magnetometer, pressure pad, etc.)

3. Specifications
The X80 Echo and battery pack are housed in watertight, weatherproof enc osures for re iab e
outdoor operation. The standard co or is matte b ack. Optiona camo finishes are avai ab e in both
wood and and desert patterns.
A bracket and spring buck e strap attach to the back of the enc osures to a ow for easy mounting.
The 12V SLA battery pack (if used) may be p aced on the ground or attached using the spring
buck e strap.
There are two battery power options avai ab e :
1. 5 interna AA batteries.
2. Externa battery pack with UB1270 12V battery.
If the repeater function is not used, either the interna AA batteries, externa battery pack, or both
may be used.
X80 Echo User's Manua v1.2 4
NOT : When using the repeater function, the 12V externa
battery pack is required for the Echo (see “Specifications).
