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 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).
2.3 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.
2.4 Register the Transmitter
The transmitter must be registered and supervised. When supervised, the transmitter
will send check-in message every 15 seconds 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 the activation button for at least one second. Alarm signals
are transmitted multiple times and are indicated by the blinking transmission LED.
When the button is 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
The pendant transmitter is water-resistant, but not waterproof. The product is not
designed for submersion in water. As such, we offer the following recommendations to
the end user:
3.3 Battery Replacement
The transmit LED on the EN1223S-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 the activation button 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.
