To install the battery:
1. Release the housing screw and gently raise the cover.

 Figure 2  Open the cover
2. Install the battery in the holder.
3. Press the reset button to initialize the transmitter.

Note: You must press the reset button each time the battery is changed.

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 section 2.4, “Select 
Automatic/Pulse Count”; if you are using the product in Australia or New 
Zealand, you will need to configure the transmitter.
4. Place a selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band selection 

pins.

• Place the jumper on the right two pins, marked NZ, to set the 

frequency range to 921-928 MHz for New Zealand.

• Place the jumper on the left two pins, marked AU, to set the frequency 

range to 915-928 MHz for Australia.

5. Press the reset button to complete configuration.

Caution: When pressing the reset button, make sure you don’t also touch 
the frequency band selection pins. Touching the frequency band selection 
pins while pressing the reset button can inadvertently set the EN1240-60 to 
the wrong frequency band.

The pulse count jumper setting provides control for normal or difficult 
operating environments. Automatic pulse count is recommended for 
reliable operation in environments subject to temperature fluctuations that 
may cause false alarms. The single pulse count mode is more sensitive to 
minor temperature variations, and should be used in sites where variant 
heat sources will not cause false alarms.
6. Place a selection jumper on the appropriate pulse count selection pins.

• Place the jumper on the left two pins, marked AUTO, to select 

automatic pulse count.

• Place the jumper on the right two pins, marked 1 PULSE, to select 

single pulse count.

The EN1240-60 activity sensor is shipped from the factory set for a fixed 
sleep time. The fixed/variable sleep time setting should not be changed 
without specific instruction from Inovonics technical services.

The EN1240-60 activity sensor is shipped from the factory set for a 
minimum sleep duration. The sleep duration setting should not be changed 
without specific instruction from Inovonics technical services.

The EN1240-60 sends two types of message: alarm and check-in. Alarm 
messages are sent when the EN1240-60 first detects motion. Immediately 
upon sending an alarm message, the EN1240-60 enters the selected sleep 
cycle, during which no more alarm messages are sent. Check-in messages 
are sent by the EN1240-60 every 60 minutes, even during the sleep cycle, 
to ensure the EN1240-60 is still functional. Check-in messages also include 
the alarm status as part of the check-in information.

Typically, activity monitoring in senior living environments is performed 
using a daily time window to confirm resident activity. The EN1240-60 sleep 
interval can be set to two, four, or six hours. If you require multiple alarms 
during your daily time window you should select a sleep time shorter than 
your daily time window.

To set sleep cycle duration:
7. Place a selection jumper on the appropriate sleep cycle duration 

selection pins.

• Place the jumper on the left two pins, marked 2H, to set the sleep 

cycle duration to two hours.

• Place the jumper on the middle two pins, marked 4H, to set the sleep 

cycle duration to four hours.

• Place the jumper on the right two pins, marked 6H, to set the sleep 

cycle duration to six hours.

Note: Selection jumpers are included in the hardware bag.

Pet immunity allows the EN1240-60 to ignore the movement of small 
animals.
8. Place a selection jumper on the appropriate pet immunity selection 

pins.

• Place the jumper on the left two pins, marked 55lb/25kg to select pet 

immunity for animals up to 55 pounds (25 kilograms) in weight.

• Place the jumper on the right two pins, marked 33lb/15kg to select pet 

immunity for animals up to 33 pounds (15 kilograms).

Note: If neither option is selected, the EN1240-60 will default to the 55lb/
25kg selection.

The sensitivity of the activity sensor can be adjusted to fit your specific 
application. To adjust sensitivity:
9. Use a philip’s head screwdriver to turn the sensitivity adjustment dial.

• Turn the dial to the left, towards the minus sign, to decrease the 

activity sensor’s sensitivity.

• Turn the dial to the right, towards the plus sign, to increase the activity 

sensor’s sensitivity.

The EN1240-60 must be registered with the system receiver in order to be 
monitored and supervised. Each EN1240-60 has a unique factory-
programmed identification number.

Note: The transmitter’s unique identification number is the eight digit serial 
number found on the serial number label.

Refer to the receiver installation instructions for details about registering 
the transmitter.
10. When prompted, press the reset button.
11. Replace the EN1240-60 cover.
12. Replace the housing screw.

Caution: The EN1240-60 should be tested after registration to ensure 
operation. To test the EN1240-60, activate each of the conditions and 
ensure an appropriate response.

Note: The EN1240-60 retains programming data in non-volatile memory. It 
does not require re-programming after loss of power.

Mount the transmitter.
13. Remove the EN1240-60 printed circuit board from the housing.
14. Use the included hardware to mount the EN1240-60 housing back plate 

to the mounting surface.
