EN5040-T high-power repeaters receive, decode and retransmit signals at 
enhanced power from Inovonics Wireless nodes. They act as range 
expanders for any valid Inovonics Wireless transmission, including signals 
from other high-power repeaters. Repeaters can be layered as necessary, 
allowing Inovonics Wireless systems to scale from small commercial sites 
to complete campuses consisting of several buildings. The EN5040-T 
features jam detection, as well as case and wall tamper detection. Input 
power is provided by listed class 2 transformer, Ault Inc. T48141428V010G.

Note: For UL installations, refer to the EN4216MR Installation and 
Operation Manual, the EN4232MR Installation and Operation Manual, or 
the EN7285 Installation Instructions.

Decode LED: Flashes when any recognizable RF transmission is 
received. (Fig. 1).
Transmit LED Lit when transmitting an RF transmission (Fig. 1).
Low Battery Fault LED: Lit when the high-power repeaterhas a low 
battery (Fig. 1).
Power LED: Lit when receiving power (Fig. 1). The LED lights green when 
the unit is receiving line power; red when receiving battery power.

Note: If mapped to an output, the high-power repeater will send the AC 
loss message to the receiver or network coordinator when receiving power 
from the backup battery.

• These products are designed to be installed and maintained by 

professional security technicians.

• Products are intended for indoor use.
• Manually test all products weekly.

Before beginning startup, power must be connected to the high-power 
repeater. To connect power to the high-power repeater:
1. Use a small screwdriver to press the housing release tab on the top or 

bottom of the high-power repeater (Fig. 2); separate the housing.

2. Connect power cabling (Fig. 2).

• Wire should be two-conductor 20AWG (or larger) stranded-tinned 

copper with PVC insulation rated to 300 volts at 26°C (80°F). Wire 
length should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

• Uses class 2 plug-in transformer 14VAC/120VAC-20VA, Ault Inc. 

T48141428V010G.

Note: Do not secure transformer for Canadian installations.

The high-power repeater is shipped with a fully-charged backup battery. 
You will need to connect the battery:
1. Plug the connector cable from the backup battery into the battery 

connector (Fig. 2).

EchoStream products are able to use a range of radio frequencies, and 
must be configured for your geographic area. To configure the high-power 
repeater:
1. Use a small screwdriver to press the housing release tab on the top or 

bottom of the receiver (Fig. 2); separate the housing.

2. Place a selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band selection 

pins (Fig. 2).

• 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.

• Leave the jumper off the pins to set the frequency range to 902-928 

MHz for North America.

Note: North American is also selected when the jumper is only attached to 
one pin. This can prevent the jumper from being lost when selecting North 
America.

Note: Only devices set for use in North America are configured for UL 
installations. 

3. Press the Reset button.

Although the high-power repeater is functional upon startup, Inovonics 
Wireless strongly recommends you register it using your receiver, network 
coordinator or control panel. Registration is required for UL installations. 
Inovonics Wireless recommends all high-power repeaters be supervised. 
Supervision is required for UL installations.

Note: For registration information, refer to the receiver’s installation 
instructions.

Caution: The reset bit will not be sent when the repeater has a low battery. 
Before registering the repeater, ensure the battery is fully charged.
