EH4104R Single Zone Fire RF Receiver with
Relays
Installation Instructions
1 Overview
The EH4104R single zone fire RF receiver with relays is designed for use
with the Inovonics EH1115EOL EchoStream single input fire RF transmitter
to monitor water flow and pressure in piping and post indicator valves to
send an alert when a fire protection system has been activated.
The EH4104R single zone fire RF receiver with relays allows you to add a
transmitter to any application. With diversity reception and advanced signal
processing, Inovonics EchoStream technology is designed to minimize
dead spots in transmission areas.
1.1 Installing an Inovonics System
An EchoStream survey kit should be used to establish an EchoStream
system. The EchoStream survey kit measures the signal strength of high-
power repeater and sensor messages to help optimize your EchoStream
system.
Note: For more information about the EchoStream survey kit, see the
EN7017 Survey Kit and App Installation and Site Survey Instructions.
Caution: The EchoStream system should be tested regularly to ensure
operation. To test: place the system in test mode, activate an end device,
and ensure an appropriate response.
1.2 RF Signal Propagation
While wood, drywall and glass usually let the RF signals pass, some
materials may inhibit or attenuate radio frequency (RF) signal propagation
by blocking, reflecting, deflecting or absorbing RF signals.
Consider anything between transmitter and the receiver. Is there concrete
and steel construction? Are there earthen berms or hills? Are there a lot of
trees? The device should be mounted such that it is least affected by these
elements.
For best results, the transmitter should be mounted at the optimal height to
achieve line of sight to the receiver. Usually this means it will be mounted
as high as possible.
Following are some typical obstacles to RF signal propagation:

2 Installation and Startup
2.1 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.
2.2 Connect Cabling
EH4104R Receiver Wiring
Connect Power Cabling
Caution: Incorrect connections may cause damage to the unit.
Note: All wiring shall be installed in accordance with the requirements of
the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72.
Before beginning startup, you will have to connect power to the receiver. To
connect power to the receiver:
1. Use a small screwdriver to press the housing release tab on the top or
bottom of the receiver; separate the housing.
2. Connect power cabling to the Power and GND connections.
• Power source shall be 11-14 VDC. Power supply must be listed UL
1481, regulated, power limited power supply.
• Use 18 - 22 gauge wire for all cabling, and ensure torque on the screw
terminals does not exceed 7 inch-pounds.
• Wire lengths must not exceed three feet.
Connect Input/Output Cabling
1. Optionally, connect a momentary switch to the reset input and ground
(Figure 3, “EH4104R terminals”).
• The reset input circuit permits installation of a remote momentary
normally open (N/O) switch to clear faults, unlatch outputs, and reset
the receiver to a normal state.
2. Connect cabling to the output terminals.
• The EH4104R provides five Form-C relays, described below.

1. Listed UL 1481, regulated, power limited power supply.
2. Relay 3 is kept activated to monitor power. Note that the NO and NC
terminal positions are reversed.
3. Optional remote reset can be activated by a momentary short between
ground and reset terminals.
4. The zone type (point function) shall be set at fire alarm or supervisory,
depending on application.
3 Registering the Transmitter
3.1 Quick Setup
1. Press the advance button one time to select the first initiating device.
2. Press the program button once to select the default programming
options.
3. The first initiating device number will be flashing, indicating it is awaiting
the transmitter’s reset message; press the transmitter’s reset button.
Note: After registering the transmitter, there is no need to exit programming
mode. The receiver is normal operation once the transmitter’s reset button
has been pressed.
Note: The registration is not complete until all LEDs turn off and the
initiating device number lights.
All of the alert LEDs will turn off when the receiver has received the
transmitter’s registration message, and the initiating device number LED
will light for two seconds. This indicates the receiver has received the
transmitter’s registration message. If this does not occur, press reset on the
transmitter again.
3.2 Mount the Receiver
Caution: Mount the receiver in a location removed from metal. Metal
objects (duct work, wire mesh screens, boxes) will reduce RF range.
Note: The EH4104R must be in the same room as the control panel.
1. Use the provided anchors and screws to mount the receiver in a
location accessible for future maintenance, making sure the housing is
flush with the wall and the back tamper switch is actuated.
2. After the transmitter has been registered, perform a walk test, activating
each transmitter assigned to the receiver and ensuring a good signal.
4 Return to Factory Configuration
The EH4104R can be returned to factory defaults using the following .
Caution: The factory config will erase all programmed initiating device,
output, and language information.
To restore the factory configuration defaults to the receiver:
1. Hold down the reset and advance buttons.
2. With the buttons held down, cycle power.
3. Wait for the switch LED to light, then release buttons.
