End Node Setup (EN-5424)
The End Nodes, model number EN-5424, are mounted to terminal boards as shown in Figure
2-8. A terminal board provides easy access to I/O connections and the power switch. The
terminal board also contains a battery holder and battery for supplying power to the End Node.
The label on top of the End Node contains the device and group IDs assigned to the End Node.

To provide power to the End Node, a 3 VDC lithium coin cell (CR2450 type) is provided and
already installed in the battery holder on the back of the terminal board.
To activate an end node:
• Turn the terminal board's power switch ON (refer to Figure 2-8). The End Node is ready to
communicate directly or indirectly (through an Mesh Node) with the MeshGate. Repeat
this step for each End Node.
