2 Installation and Startup
2.1 Installation Notes
• These products are designed to be maintained by professional
security technicians
• Products are intended for indoor use
• All products should be manually tested weekly (see “Test the
Transmitter” on page 2)
2.2 Initial Setup
Battery Installation
1. Remove the rear housing cover to expose the side of the board that
holds the battery.
Caution: Carefully separate the rear housing cover, ensuring the reset
button plunger assembly does not fall out of the housing (Figure 2).
2. Slide the battery under the battery holder, ensuring that it is fully
inserted and that the positive terminal (+) faces up (Figure 2).
Select the Frequency Band
EchoStream products are able to use a range of radio frequencies, and
must be configured for your geographic area. This product ships with a
default frequency range of 902-928 MHz for use in North America. If you
are using the product in North America, skip to step 6; if you are using the
product in Australia or New Zealand, you will need to configure the
transmitter.
To configure the transmitter:
3. Turn the board over to access the side with the frequency band
selection pins (Figure 2).
4. Place the frequency band selection jumper on the appropriate
frequency band selection pins.
• Place the jumper on the left two pins, marked AU, to set the frequency
range to 915-928 MHz for Australia.
• Place the jumper on the right two pins, marked NZ, to set the
frequency range to 921-928 MHz for New Zealand.
5. Seat the board in the housing with the battery side facing the rear
housing cover.
6. Replace the front housing cover.
7. Insert the three housing screws, tightening them to 1.25 inch-pounds
torque.
Note: If you do not have a torque driver, tighten to a snug fit, being careful
not to overtighten.
Note: Tighten the housing screws evenly to help ensure a good seal and
maintain water-resistance.
Caution: Over-tightening the housing screws can result in microcracks in
the plastic, gaps in the gasket material, and/or stripping of the bushing. Any
of these conditions can compromise the water-resistance of the device.
Register the Transmitter
The transmitter must be registered and supervised. When supervised, the
transmitter will send check-in message every 15 minutes to the receiver or
gateway.
Each transmitter has a unique factory-programmed identification number.
Refer to the receiver or gateway's installation instructions for details on
registering and setting up supervision.
8. When prompted by the receiver or gateway to reset transmitter, press
the reset button (Figure 1).
Caution: The transmitter should be tested after registration to ensure
operation. See “Test the Transmitter” on page 2.
3 Operate the Transmitter
To send an alarm, press both activation buttons simultaneously for at least
one second. Alarm signals are transmitted multiple times and are indicated
by the blinking transmission LED. When the buttons are released, the
transmitter sends an alarm restoral signal as indicated by another short
series of blinking transmission LED lights.
3.1 Wear the Transmitter
The pendant transmitter can be worn in three ways:
• Around the neck with neck chain attachment (included)
• On a belt with the beltclip attachment (included)
• On the arm with optional wristband accessory (ACC623S or
ACC623L, sold separately)
Caution: The neck chain included with the pendant transmitter is designed
with a breakaway feature for user safety. Substitution of a stronger cord or
chain may result in injury to the wearer.
3.2 Water Exposure
All EchoStream water-resistant pendants meet IP54 certification standards
for dust and water ingress protection, ensuring that:
• Ingress of dust particles does not interfere with the satisfactory
operation of the device
• There is no harmful effect to the device caused by:
- Vertically dripping water (when device is tilted up to 15° from normal
position)
- Spraying water (falling at angles up to 60° from vertical)
- Splashing water (from any direction)

End User Recommendations
IP54 certification is classified as water-resistant, but not waterproof. The
products are not designed for submersion in water. As such, we offer the
following recommendations for end users:
3.3 Battery Replacement
The transmit LED on the EN1223D-15 pendant transmitter will flash every
10 seconds as long as the battery is operational. If the transmit LED
ceases to flash, the battery is in need of replacement.
Replacement batteries can be purchased from Inovonics using the
following part numbers
• BAT609 for a single battery
• BAT609-25 for a 25-count bulk pack
To replace the batteries:
1. Remove the three housing screws on the back of the transmitter.
2. Remove the rear cover to expose the side of the board which holds the
battery.
Caution: Carefully separate the rear housing cover, ensuring the reset
button plunger assembly does not fall out of the housing (Figure 2).
3. Remove the depleted battery.
4. Slide the new battery under the battery holder, ensuring that it is fully
inserted and that the positive terminal (+) faces up (Figure 2).
5. Replace the rear housing cover.
6. Replace the three housing screws, tightening them to 1.25 inch-pounds
torque.
7. Once the unit has been sealed, press the reset button located on the
rear housing to complete the configuration (Figure 1).
Note: If you do not have a torque driver, tighten to a snug fit, being careful
not to strip the housing.
Note: Tighten the housing screws evenly to help ensure a good seal and
maintain water-resistance.
Caution: Over-tightening the housing screws can result in microcracks in
the plastic, gaps in the gasket material, and/or stripping of the bushing. Any
of these conditions can compromise the water-resistance of the device.
4 Test the Transmitter
The transmitter should be tested weekly and after registration to ensure
operation.
To test the transmitter:
1. Press both activation buttons simultaneously for at least one second
and ensure the transmit LED lights and the alarm is received by the
receiver or gateway.
2. Press the reset button and ensure the transmit LED lights.
