5. Operation
The EchoView only operates in RTR (Router) mode. Therefore, when it is turned on, it is always
operational.
Whenever you start EchoView, it tries to rejoin the last network it was part of. Therefore, if the
network is within range and if the channel and Pan ID have not changed, the EchoView should be
able to rejoin the network without action on your part.
Make sure the battery with sufficient charge is installed before operating the EchoView. Refer to
page 35 for information on battery installation and replacement.
5.1. Enable The FMC2000 Controller’s EchoView
Function
The EchoView can only receive data from an FMC2000 Controller if the controller is configured to
broadcast data to it by enabling its EchoView Function. Therefore, you should perform this simple
configuration before adding one or more EchoViews to a network.
To enable the Pager function on the FMC2000 Controller:
1. Press the “MENU” key from Normal Operation Mode to enter the Configuration menu.
2. Provide a 4-digit password (the default value is 1234).
3. Press “Enter.”
4. The “General Settings” icon is highlighted. Press “Enter.”
5. Scroll to “Advanced Settings.”
6. Press “Enter.”
7. Input the advanced (6-digit) password.
8. Press Enter.
9. Input the 6-digit advanced password (the default is 123456).
10. Press Enter.
11. Scroll through the options until “EchoView” is highlighted.
12. Press “Enter.”
13. Select “All Alm” (all alarms) or “SNS Alarm” (sensor alarms, including High, Low, etc.) by using
the up and down arrows. (There is also a “Disable” option that shuts off EchoView functionality.)
14. Press “Enter” to lock in your selection and exit the EchoView Function menu.
The FMC2000 Controller is now broadcasting its data for EchoViews.

5.2. Turning The EchoView On
Hold down the [MODE] key and release it when the EchoView display and LED lights light up. The
display indicates that the unit is now on:
During startup, the display shows the firmware version:
Next, it shows the firmware’s build date and time:
This is followed by the Unit Mode and Modem Type:
Note: Modem type relates to its permanently set operating frequency. For further information, refer
to page 23.

EchoView User’s Guide
14
Then the EchoView initializes the wireless network. When the network is found and communication
is established, the main reading screen is shown. It includes signal strength, battery charge, and
the identification numbers of all monitors on the network:
The monitor name shown on the EchoView screen is either the ID of the monitor’s radio.
Important! Each name on a network must be unique. The automatically assigned radio ID is unique by
default.
Note: If no monitors are within the EchoView's range, its display will only show the radio-on indicator,
battery charge, and buzzer on/off icon.
If you see this screen, check the following:
• Is the antenna attached?
• Does the Pan ID match the network you want to join?
• Does the Channel match the channel on which the other instruments are operating?
• Are the other instruments turned on and within range?
• Did you change the Pan ID or Channel? If so, restart the instrument.
• Is the FMC2000 Controller’s Pager Function enabled? If not, enable it.
5.3. Turning The EchoView Off
Hold down the [MODE] key through the “5…4…3… 2… 1… Power Off” sequence. The EchoView is
off when the display is blank. Release the [MODE] key.
The EchoView is now off.

EchoView User’s Guide

5.4. Battery Indicator
The EchoView’s internal battery is designed to provide power for up to 10 days. When the battery
gets low, the EchoView beeps once per minute and the battery icon is empty. See page 35 for the
replacement procedure. It is recommended that the battery be changed immediately, to minimize
potential downtime. When the battery is almost completely depleted, the LCD displays “Power off,”
and the LED and buzzer alarms activate once per second. The battery icon also blinks on and off.
The low battery alarm continues until the battery runs out. Then the unit shuts down automatically.
Battery power is indicated with an icon in the lower right corner of the screen, below the wireless
communication indicator and buzzer icon:
Battery charge is shown from empty to full:
Note: For a fixed-system application, an external power source, the RAE PowerPak, can be used
as a substitute for the internal battery. Only remove the external battery adapter in non-hazardous
locations.
5.5. Buzzer (Audible Alarm) Off Indicator
The EchoView’s buzzer (audible alarm) can be turned off, so the LED visible alarms flash but there
is no sound when in alarm. The icon on the main screen indicates its state.

5.6. Wireless Communication Indicator
The display employs an antenna icon to show that the radio is on. A letter “H” indicates that the
EchoView is operating in the Host mode. It is located in the upper right corner of the display:
Signal strength is represented by vertical bars to the right of the antenna icon. The greater the
number of bars to the right of the antenna icon, the better the connection quality.
Note: An “X” indicates no signal is detected.
6. Deploying The EchoView
When deploying a MeshGuard network that utilizes EchoViews, make sure the rest of the network has
been set up before using an EchoView. The EchoView gets its information about the monitors on a
network from the FMC2000 controller. It does not aggregate network data from all its nodes. Therefore,
make sure the FMC2000 is operational and in communication with all monitors on the network, as well as
with the EchoView.
Before deploying an EchoView, it is important to have the Pan ID and Channel number on which the rest
of the network is operating. Without these numbers to program into your EchoView, you cannot make it
communicate with the network.
