Overview
In This Module
Inovonics Wireless Corporation is a US-based company that has developed a range of Spread Spectrum RF receivers and transmitters that have applications within the security market, where wireless communications is desired. There are several transmitter models available such as the hand held push button types, wireless PIRs or wired input types, which can be connected to sensors such as PIRs or any other type of input device. The non-hand held transmitters are installed around an area, typically up to 0.5 miles (or further using repeater modules) from the receiver. Each transmitter contains a Lithium battery, with a life under normal conditions stated as being as much as five years (depending on the type of device and frequency of use). There is only one-way communication from the transmitter to the receiver, so no backward commands are supported, and no output control is possible. All the transmitters are input type devices. All Frequency Agile (FA) products operate in the 902-928 MHz band for use in North America. The EchoStream (ES) series has two models, the EE4000 and the EN4000. The EN4000 is used in North America and operates in the 902-928 MHz band. The EE4000 is used in Australia (915-928 MHz), New Zealand (921-928 MHz), and Europe (868-870 MHz). NOTE The EE4000 and the EN4000 are almost identical in terms of configuration. The products will be referred to as EE/ ES/EN4000 when the configuration is identical. A distinction between the two will be made when configuration differs. There are several different receiver types that are used to accept signals from the transmitters. Pacom field controllers currently support the FA400. This is a small self-contained box that processes the RF signalling from the transmitters, and maintains status information and integrity checking to
ensure the transmitters are still operating. Support for the interface will be limited to the Pacom 1057, 1058 and Witness field controllers. The field controller communicates with the FA400 receiver unit via a Pacom 1068 which is connected to the RS485 device line. The 1068 auto-detects the Inovonics receiver and automatically configures itself within in the system (see Section 3.1. FA400 Receiver). The field controller communicates with the EE/ES/EN4000 receiver directly via an RS232 connection. All field controller ports are configurable for this protocol (see Section 3.2. EE/ES/ EN4000 EchoStream Receiver). Further information on Inovonics can be found at www.inovonicswireless.com. The field controller will process status messages from the receiver that are sent as soon as an event occurs. There are several alarm messages that will be received by the field controller from the receiver. The messages of most interest are the status message relating to wireless devices: Alarm status - each Transmitter (Tx) has one alarm input Battery status of the Lithium battery Tamper status - each Tx has one tamper input Offline status if the Receiver (Rx) stops hearing the Tx. The field controller will process these messages internally and, based on the configuration, will report the appropriate alarms. This information is also used to display the status of the transmitters on a 1062 keypad. Transmitter status messages from the receiver will be de-coded as follows, provided the alarm point is configured in the field controller. Each bit is checked for current status and, if changed, will be processed. If the Alarm bit is active, it will report an External Normal alarm for this point If the Tamper bit is active, it will report an Internal Tamper alarm for device type Wireless Tx with the alarm input number for that transmitter. If the Offline bit is set, it will reset the Offline Supervise Window timer for this point. If this timer increments to the Supervise Window time then a Trouble condition alarm will be generated. If the Battery Low bit is set, it will report an Internal Battery Low alarm for device type Wireless Transmitter Tx Number is same as alarm number. The FA400 receiver will send a poll to the Pacom 1068 every 60 seconds. The 1068 will expect a poll from the receiver within 70 seconds of the previous poll and will send an acknowledgement response upon receipt. The 1068 will mark the receiver as offline if a poll has not been received within this time. If the receiver does not receive a response to a poll, it will go into fast poll mode and will poll the 1068 many times a second. If the 1068 detects a rapid succession of polls it will assume that the FA400 is not receiving the poll responses and the receiver will be marked as offline. Polling is, however, available with the EE/ES/EN4000, so the field controller will poll the receiver to determine if it has gone offline. The poll time-out is calculated as five times the poll timer value. If after this time there is no response from the receiver, the field controller will report an Offline Wireless Receiver message to the GMS. When the receiver communications is re-established, an Online Wireless Receiver message will be reported, and the receiver number will match the Logical number that it is configured in the Port Parameters (refer to Section 4.2 EE/ES/EN4000 Receiver Configuration).

Table 1: Supervision Window [Inovonics FA400] This is the amount of time (in minutes) in which a transmitter has to report to the RTU before the RTU declares the transmitter offline. This should be the worst case check in time, as there are no individual timers. All transmitters may have different check in times, so to avoid having any go offline, this time must be set to the value of the longest check in time. The ID of the Inovonics receiver connected to Pacom 1068 device. This ID will be stored in the 1068, and only messages from the device with the specified ID will be accepted.

Table 2: Supervision Window Check-in time (in minutes) between transmitter and receiver. This will be the worst case check-in time as there are no individual timers. All transmitters may have different check-in times, so to avoid having any go offline, this time must be set greater than the value of the longest transmitter check-in time. If this value is set too low, a Trouble Alarm will be generated for all the transmitters. Recommended Value is 25. Time between polls if no messages status messages are received from the Receiver. Recommended Value is 15. The actual logical number that will be reported in the Online and Offline messages to GMS. The amount of time waited without comms before the Serial Communications Chip (SCC) will be reset. Recommended Value is 5. This is the IDH number. The receiver will filter out any transmissions received from transmitters that do not have this IDH programmed (0-255).
