General Information
These instructions provide installation and programming for the Inovonics EchoStream® version North American with a
900MHz frequency and European with a 868MHz frequency wireless receivers.
The North American version can also have its receiver unit and various transmitter protection devices configured to apply
to Australian and New Zealand frequencies.
European transmitter protection devices can be jumper configured to support the older version transmitters alone or the
older versions and the new EchoStream® versions.
The North American/Australia/New Zealand version does not permit mixing old Inovonics equipment with the
EchoStream® version.
For each sensor’s instructions, consult the Inovonic’s instructions packed with each sensor.
The receiver module is used with Chubb/Monitor AFx, ISM and xL security systems and must be connected to their module
bus to enable programming.
Each receiver module supports a maximum of 32 wireless sensors.
Mount the receiver module centrally to the wireless sensors.
Install the receiver module away from large metal objects that can cause interference.
Mounting the receiver module on metal surfaces will impair performance.
This receiver module is intended for indoor use only. Use in outdoor applications may impair performance.
If a wireless sensor reports a ‘low battery’ and the sensor’s battery is replaced, the sensor’s reset button must be pressed
to restore the sensor.

Programming:
Wireless (2) Receiver Module
Compatible with Chubb/Monitor AFx, ISM, xL security
system main panel firmware and Director Software
version 4.1 and greater.
The wireless module learns wireless sensors.
Only Inovonics wireless sensors can be used with the
Inovonics receiver module.
The wireless module does not support wireless keypads
and it is not necessary to reserve input point numbers
for keypad ‘panic’ buttons.
Wireless Receiver Module Programming
The wireless module has a 5-digit module serial
number, which is programmed into the system module
programming. For systems with a Feature Set of 5 or
above, local configuration programming at an LCD
keypad cannot be done. Module enrollment, input point
assigning, must be done using the Director software and
sent to the panel. Wireless transmitter sensors are
learned into the system using the LCD keypad.
If for some reason the serial number sticker is missing,
the wireless module will display its serial number when it
is first powered. Using the yellow and green Diagnostic
LEDs beside the module bus terminal block, the number
of pulses on the yellow LED while the green LED is ON,
gives the digit value. E.g. green on, count 3 pulses on
yellow, green off, first digit is “3”. Green turns on, yellow
pulses 9 times, green off, second digit is “9”. Etc. etc.
until the entire serial number is displayed, one digit at a
time. It takes several seconds to compete the entire
process. NOTE: “0” is indicated by the green on and NO
pulses of the yellow LED.
Receiver Module Programming
Program the wireless module serial # into the module
configurations. Assign the number of input points
required (4 to 32). The wireless module does not have
outputs. Leave the wireless module’s outputs defaulted
or change them to “0” or none so the outputs can be
assigned some where else. After making these
selections, press the button below ‘Save’ in the LCD
keypad’s module enrollment screen, or send the module
info to the panel from the Director Software.
AllSVN:3 Force:2
Save 
The next screen will look
like this. It can only be
programmed through the
system’s LCD keypad. If the module config was sent
to the panel by the Director, go to an LCD keypad
on the system and log on as a service user. Select
‘Config/Advanced’ and the first Module
Configurations screen for this module number: e.g.
M0050. Press the ‘Save’ button from that screen
to get to this one.
AllSVN: Wireless Module Supervision Timeouts. The
time allowed before a supervision signal is transmitted
from the wireless module because it has not received a
trigger or supervisory signal from any of the sensors
assigned to it.
Selections: 1 = 2 Hrs, 15 Min
2 = 6 Hrs, 35 Min
3 = 12 Hrs (default)
4 = 25 Hrs, 15 Min
0 (None) cannot be entered.
Force: The number of times any sensors should be
triggered before the wireless module will Force learn it
into the system. This can be helpful if in a big system
with e.g. wireless PIRs that are being periodically
tripped by people, the force count is increased to avoid
false ‘force’ enrolment of a sensor.
The default is 2 triggers but can be changed from 1 to 9
triggers.
When these selections are acceptable, press the
‘Save’ button. Pressing the button will display the
module type, its input range and its module serial
number.

under Input Configuration, (SV:) and enter the
selection with the cursor under the “0”.
TM represents whether the module’s tamper will be
monitored. With the cursor under the ““, press any

previous screen to Edit the Repeater programming or
press Save to proceed to programming another Repeater.

Input Configuration
Wireless sensor’s circuit types are always “0” – normally
closed.
If the system’s Feature Set is greater than 5, the input
point type and name screens cannot be programmed
through the system’s LCD keypad Configs. That
information must be programmed in the Director
software and sent to the panel.
If the circuit type, sensor type and name have been
programmed into the system with the LCD keypad in the
‘Config/Advanced/P0XX:00’ Input Points programming
section and Save is pressed, the next screen below will
display:
If they were programmed in using the Director because
the Feature set is greater then 5, re-enter input point
programming at the keypad and ignore any warnings
about no programming using the keypad. Wireless

the sensor’s reset button until the screen changes. An
optional enrolment method is the sensor’s tamper
button. Press the keypad button under Tmp (Tamper)
and operate the sensor’s tamper button until the keypad
screen changes. Another optional enrolment method is
pressing the button on the keypad under Fc (Force).
The down arrow next to Force will clear and an F will
appear after the Enroll.R. Trigger the sensor (e.g. open
and close a door sensor) as many times as Force is set
in the previously mentioned AllSVN:/ Force: screen.
NOTE: The sensor cannot be triggered in rapid
successions. Trigger it once, wait a few moments and
then the next trigger and wait a few moments again. As
many times as the Force times are set. To disengage
Force, press the button under Stp (Stop). The keypad
display will return to the ‘No Sensor – Learn’ screen. If a
sensor is not enrolled within 1 minute, the Force button
will need to be pressed again.

transmitted after the following timeout selections.
Selections: 0 = None (default)
1 = 2 Hrs, 15 Min
2 = 6 Hrs, 35 Min
3 = 12 Hrs
4 = 25 Hrs, 15 Min
TM: Whether the sensor’s ‘Tamper’ will be monitored (
default) or not (). With the cursor under the check
