1. Introduction
The i-on40 is the control unit for a hybrid
wired/wirefree alarm system intended for domestic
and light commercial use.
The control unit comprises an ABS plastic case
which contains the radio transceiver, power
supply and backup battery. Up to four separate
wired keypad(s) can connect to the control unit by
standard alarm cable.
The i-on40 at release 4 uses i-kp01 keypads with
software version 2.0 and above. The keypads
allow end users to set and unset the system, and
the installer to configure the control unit. The i-
kp01 keypad also contains an integral proximity
tag reader, allowing end users to control the
system without having to remember access
codes.
Note that to work correctly the i-on40 must be
fitted with at least one wired keypad.
The following types of keypad are also available
for connection to the i-on40:
This keypad has no internal prox
reader, and is supplied in a square
format case.
This product, supplied in the same
case as the KEY-K01, has an
internal prox reader and also
provides terminals for an external
prox reader KEY-EP
This product, supplied in the same
case as the KEY-K01, has an
internal prox reader and also
provides terminals for up to two
zones, a programmable output, and
an external prox reader KEY-EP
A range of wireless peripherals is available for
operation with the control unit. These include a
door contact/universal transmitter, a passive infra
red detector, smoke detector, external siren, 4
button remote control, and remote radio keypad.
The control unit supports up to 16 wired alarm
zones, 24 wirefree alarm zones, up to 16
hardwired outputs, 50 four-button remote controls,
50 two-button radio panic alarms, and 50 users.
See page 26.
This control unit is designed and approved to be
used as part of a Security Grade 2 system.
Communications
The i-on40 provides sockets for an add-on
communication module. The available modules
are:
A switched telephone network
(PSTN) module that allows the
control unit to report alarm
information using standard
protocols such as Fast Format, SIA
and Contact ID, and can also send
text messages over the Public
Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN). The i-dig02 also allows
remote maintenance using Eaton’s
Security Business Downloader
software.
A speech dialler and PSTN module
that allows the control unit to send
recorded speech messages and
report alarm information using
standard protocols such as Fast
Format, SIA and Contact ID. The
module can also send text
messages over the PSTN. The i-
sd02 also allows remote
maintenance using Eaton’s Security
Business Downloader software.
A GSM module that allows alarm
reporting, speech messaging and
SMS text messaging over the
mobile phone network. Note that a
SIM card is not included with the
module.
The control unit also provides outputs that can be
used to fit a “plug by” communicator.
To comply with EN50131 you must fit an ATS2
communicator.
Level Setting or Partitioned System
The i-on40 offers two basic ways of behaving as
an alarm system:
Part Setting. In a Part Setting system the i-on40
can set in one of four ways: either Full set or three
varieties of Part Set. In Full set the control unit
pays attention to all detectors. In each of the three
Part Sets the control unit ignores detectors that do
not have the appropriate Part Set attribute.
Partitioned System. In a Partitioned system the i-
on40 provides the equivalent of four, smaller,
independent alarm systems. Each system is a
“Partition” of the i-on40. You can allocate any
zone to each Partition. Each zone can also belong
to more than one Partition. Each Partition can
have a Full Set level and one Part Set Level.
During installation the installer can allocate
keypads, sounders or outputs to any of the
partitions.
This manual shows the simple procedure required
to install the control unit and its keypad. When you
have completed the physical installation please
consult the Programming section for details of
configuring the system to meet your exact
requirements.
