The EchoView wirelessly receives the data shown on an FMC2000 controller in a MeshGuard network and displays them on its screen and delivers audible and visible alerts. The EchoView contains no sensors. Its built-in radio board operates on a frequency of 2.4GHz and complies with IEEE 802.15.4 standard.

The EchoView only operates in RTR (Router) mode. Therefore, when it is turned on, it is always operational. Whenever you start EchoView, it tries to rejoin the last network it was part of. Therefore, if the network is within range and if the channel and Pan ID have not changed, the EchoView should be able to rejoin the network without action on your part.
EchoView User’s Guide 5.2. Turning The EchoView On Hold down the [MODE] key and release it when the EchoView display and LED lights light up. The display indicates that the unit is now on: During startup, the display shows the firmware version: Next, it shows the firmware’s build date and time:...
Important! Each name on a network must be unique. The automatically assigned radio ID is unique by default. Note: If no monitors are within the EchoView's range, its display will only show the radio-on indicator, battery charge, and buzzer on/off icon.
The EchoView’s internal battery is designed to provide power for up to 10 days. When the battery gets low, the EchoView beeps once per minute and the battery icon is empty. See page 35 for the replacement procedure. It is recommended that the battery be changed immediately, to minimize potential downtime.
FMC2000 is operational and in communication with all monitors on the network, as well as with the EchoView. Before deploying an EchoView, it is important to have the Pan ID and Channel number on which the rest of the network is operating. Without these numbers to program into your EchoView, you cannot make it...

Press [Y/+]. The Echoview broadcasts a ping signal to its network. All devices in the network that receive the ping signal respond with a beep if they are within the range. (The Echoview does not beep or flash its LED lights.) You can also ping from an instrument in the network. If it is within range, the EchoView responds with a beep and an LED light flash.
EchoView User’s Guide The screen shows the PAN ID, with the cursor blinking on the first digit. Step through the digits from left to right by pressing [MODE]. Change a digit’s value by pressing [Y/+] to increase and [N/-] to decrease.

One Monitor In Alarm Whenever a monitor on the network goes into alarm the EchoView also receives it and displays it. When monitoring the network and when no alarms are present, the EchoView’s display looks like this: All monitors are represented with a unique identifier and a circle.
EchoView User’s Guide 8.3. Multiple Monitors In Alarm If any other monitors on the network go into alarm while one is already in alarm, the circle accompanying second monitor in alarm also changes to a star.

3. Insert the new battery with its positive (“+”) pole towards the inside of the instrument. 4. Replace the battery cover by turning it clockwise with the 3-pin end of the tool. Note: After changing the battery, wait at least 60 seconds before turning the EchoView on. WARNING! Only change the internal battery in non-hazardous locations and use the battery Honeywell RAE Systems provides (P/N: 500-0111-000, EVE ER34615 or XENO XL-205F).

EchoView User’s Guide 11. Year Of Manufacture To identify the year of manufacture, refer to the serial number of the instrument. The letter in the serial number indicates the year of manufacture. For example, “M” indicates the manufacturing year is 2010.
12.1. External Battery Usage An external battery unit, the RAE Systems RAE PowerPak, is used to power an EchoView in fixed installations or in situations where extended battery life is necessary. The connector from the external battery screws into the EchoView’s battery compartment. Bottom views of the EchoView in its steel enclosure are shown in the procedure below.
Page 41
EchoView User’s Guide The EchoView is permanently mounted to a solid surface by first securing it in its steel enclosure (a screw through the back mates with the EchoView) and then securing the enclosure to a solid surface such as a wall or the metal mounting plate that holds both the EchoView and the RAE PowerPak.
External Battery Replacement Process PowerPak External battery replacement Unplug the battery connector. Loosen the safety screw holding the battery. Mount a new battery on the mounting bracket. Tighten the safety screw. Connect the EchoView to the battery. Switch on the EchoView.
Mesh Router Mounting MeshGuard This magnet is powerful enough to support the EchoView when it is placed against a flat steel or iron surface. Important! Keep the magnet away from computer hard drives. The strong magnet can corrupt or erase data on these.
EchoView User’s Guide 13.2. Fixed Installation Four reinforced holes in the rear of the enclosure allow for a screw to pass through to the mounting brackets. Mounting Holes Side Front View View The enclosure can be mounted to a vertical or horizontal pole.
Page 45
EchoView User’s Guide Slip the screws through the two holes that are side by side in order to mount the enclosure to a vertical pole. Otherwise slip the screws through the two vertically aligned holes to attach the enclosure to a horizontal pole.
Page 46
Note: The sensor cover on the bottom of the enclosure can be removed so that the filter and sensor can be inspected without removing the EchoView from the enclosure. Simply pull off the cover and follow the maintenance procedures in this guide.
EchoView User’s Guide 13.3. Magnetic Mount Alternative Installation The magnet-mount disc can be attached to the steel enclosure instead of the clamps. This approach provides the protection of the enclosure with the ease of installation afforded by the magnetic mounting.
