Chapter 3: Configuring the System −
Getting Started
This chapter explains how to:
Use the initial power-up procedure to configure the basic settings of the control unit.
Enter and exit the Installer menu.
Select options and change settings in the Installer menu.
Reset the control unit.
Note: This chapter assumes that all wiring is complete, as described in the i-on10
Installation Instructions.
Initial Power-up Procedure
WARNING: During initial power-up, sounders and the siren may give an alarm tone. If you
are working at the top of a ladder, make sure that the sudden noise does not startle you
and cause a fall.
Note: The following assumes that the control unit has not been previously configured and
that all keypads have a "null" address (no address previously allocated). If required, please
refer to page 23 for details of how to reset an existing system.
To configure the system for the first time:
1. Connect the control unit's battery.
2. Close the lid of the control unit if there is no need to keep it open.
3. Switch on the mains supply.
Note: Ordinarily, the control unit starts only after the mains supply is switched on,
even if a battery is connected. If you want to operate the control unit temporarily
using only the battery (or a 12VDC supply), start it by briefly shorting the kick-start
link on the PCB.
4. Wait until you see:
This message indicates that the keypad has a "null" address.
5. Go to the keypad you want to use for initial configuration. Obtain an address for this
keypad by pressing and holding A and keys simultaneously for at least three
seconds until you hear a sound. The display shows the address allocated by the
control unit, such as “b1-d01”(bus 1, device 01).
The address is now stored in the keypad.
