About this Guide

This manual applies to software used in the i-onEX range of control units with

version 4.00 software.

This guide contains a detailed description of programming an i-onEX system

using the Installer Menu.

Other i-onEX Publications

To install, connect and start up an i-onEX control unit please read the

Installation Guide appropriate for the control unit.

If you need to add or administer users (and their remote controls, HUA buttons

and proximity tags) then you must enter the User Menu. This is described in

detail in the i-on40 & i-onEX Administrator’s Guide.

If you wish to program an i-on160EX from a PC or laptop please read i-on

Range Web Server Setup Guide first.

A Note about screen displays

Some of the keypad screen displays in this book show the standby screen,

which shows the type of control unit on the top line. Although the book shows

―i-on160EX‖, the text will be different if you are using another control unit.

Terminology

With the introduction of BS8243 and PD6662:2010, Cooper Security have

changed the name ―panic alarm‖ to ―hold up alarm‖ and ―PA‖ to ―HUA‖.

Conventions

Some i-on control units do not share all the programming feature available in

the Installer Menu. Where necessary the following symbols show which control

unit a feature applies to: 16 30 40 50 160. If there are no symbols then

the feature applies across all i-on control units.

What’s New in Release 4?

This version of the i-on Engineering Guide describes the Installation Menu for

Release 4 software. This section outlines the main changes that have been

introduced since Release 3.

The Engineering Guide now contains programming information for the i-on16,

i-on40 and i-on50EX, as well as for the i-on30EX and i-on160EX. Please note

that certain options do not apply to all control units.

Release 4 software on the i-on16 and i-on40 brings their Installer Menu

structure in line with the Installer Menu of the i-onEX range.

As a result of DD243 being superseded by BS8243, several changes have been

made to the handling of confirmed alarms. (See below for more details.)

Also, to help maintain consistency with the standards, Cooper Security have

changed the name they use for ―Panic Alarm‖. Throughout the manual this is

now known as a Hold Up Alarm (HUA), and a PA device is now a Hold Up

Device (HUD).

Here are the main changes in detail:

This Guide introduces the Installer programming required for the FOB-2W-4B.

Installers can no longer make changes to the system from the web browser

while the system is set.

An installer can now transfer an Installer menu session from one keypad to

another without leaving the Installer Menu.

In Installer Menu – Detectors/Devices:

Three new zone types have been added: Lock Set, Exit Terminate and

Tamper Return.

When Editing a device (for example, using the Wired Expanders – Edit

Expander option) pressing ―*‖ on the keypad starts a continuous tone on

the selected device so that you can locate it. Pressing ―#‖ stops the tone.

In Installer Menu – Outputs:

Seven new output types have been added: Courtesy Light, Installer on

Site, Duress Code, HUA Confirm, Lock Set Unlocked, Burg Confirm timer,

and HUA Confirm timer.

In Installer Menu - Partitions/Setting Options:

Two new setting options have been added: Lock Set and Exit Terminate.

In Installer Menu - System Options:

In the i-on16 and i-on40, the Installer can now set time and date. (The i-

onEX control units could do this since Release 3.)

The Installer can enable/disable the Duress user type from the Installer

Menu (see the changes to the User Menu, below).

The Confirmation menu has been reorganised: The new Confirmation

Mode option allows you to choose between DD243, BS8243 or Basic

types of sequential confirmation.

i-on Range

Page iv

BS8243 Confirmation now supports confirmed Hold Up Alarms and offers

a new option ―HUA confirmation time‖.

European versions of Release 4 do not offer DD243 and BS8243

Confirmation options. (This also means that European versions of

Release 4 do not offer confirmed hold up alarm.)

UK versions of Release 4 do not offer language options or different

country defaults.

In European versions of Release 4 the Country Defaults option no longer

exists. You now choose your country when using the Factory Defaults

option.

There is now a programmable Alarm Abort Delay time.

Jamming and Supervision responses can now be programmed for Fault

or Tamper.

There is a new option: Unset Comms, to allow control of amount of

amount of communications taking place while an alarm system is unset.

The Installer can select either closed circuit or fully supervised loop for

the tamper return on the control unit.

In Installer Menu – Test:

You can now test Fast Format channels individually.

The About option now shows whether the control unit is partitioned or

part setting (does not apply to i-on16).

There are also some changes to the User Menu:

A new user type is available in the User Menu: Duress.

The Master User must now enable remote access for Downloader or web

server.

Other Changes

Release 4 also sees the introduction of the FOB-2W-4B, a two-way key fob.

i-on40 with release 4 can only use WAMs as repeaters, not as radio outputs.

Introduction

System Design

The i-on range of control units for hybrid wired/wirefree alarm systems are

intended for, domestic, commercial or industrial use. The range is designed to

support a wide spread of alarm system sizes. To increase the size of the alarm

system the i-onEX control units allow the Installer to connect expanders and

keypads to a single ―data bus‖ which carries all the data between the control

unit and its peripherals.

The control unit PCB provides connections for wired zones and a number of

outputs. The Expanders provide connections to either extra wired zones and

outputs, or radio detectors and radio outputs. Both wired and radio devices can

exist in the same alarm system. The single bus cable also allows the installer

to connect keypads, output modules or extra power supplies wherever they are

needed.

The Control Unit

Case

All i-on control units are housed in an individual case that provides space for

the control unit‘s PCB, power supply and one or more backup batteries. The

cases are designed for vertical mounting on a wall, and provide three or more

fixing points.

The i-on160EX and i-on50EX cases are made of coated steel and can be butted

up to side walls or a ceiling without blocking the opening or closing of its lid.

The case lid is fixed by a single screw, and can be hung from the case back

when open. The back of the case provides pre-cut holes for cable access, and

stands off from the mounting surface to allow cables to pass behind.

The i-on30EX case is also made of coated steel, and has an ―all-over‖ lid fixed

on by a two screws.

The i-on16 and i-on40 cases are made from ABS plastic.

Battery Backup

The i-on160EX case provides space for two 17Ah backup batteries. Each

battery has its own connector on the control unit PCB, and is charged by the

control unit while mains power is present.

It is possible to run the system with a single backup battery (although the

resulting standby time may not meet the Grade 2 or Grade 3 requirements). If

you chose to use a single battery, then you should connect the battery to

connector ―BATT1‖ and program the control unit to suppress alerts that Battery

2 is missing, see page 95.

The i-on50EX provides space and a connector for one 17Ah battery.

The i-on16, i-on30EX and i-on40 provide space and connectors for one 7Ah

battery.

Introduction i-on Range

Page 2

Back tamper/Lid tamper. In the i-on160EX, i-on50EX i-on40 and i-on16 the

back of the case provides a plastic shrouded slot through which the Installer

can fit the combined back tamper/lid tamper switch. This switch is mounted on

a metal blade that slides through the slot and touches the mounting surface.

Once fitted and connected to the PCB, removing the lid or prising the case

from the wall activates the switch.

In the i-on16 and i-on30EX the lid tamper is a switch mounted on the main

PCB.

Printed Circuit Board

All of the control unit functions and connectors are provided by a single PCB. In

the i-on160EX a plastic PCB carrier holds the PCB within the case.

Bus Connections

30 50 160.

The i-on EX range of control units provide connectors for one four-wire bus

cable. All keypads, expanders and other equipment connect to the same bus.

The cable can be run as one single line, or as a three or four armed star

branched at the control unit. See the relevant Installation Guide for details of

bus configuration, maximum bus length and cabling type.

Zone Connections

The control unit itself provides the following connections for wired zones:

Control Unit

CC Zones

FSL Zones

i-on40

8

16

i-onEX

5

10

These zones can be either all Closed Circuit (CC) or all Fully Supervised Loop

(FSL). The Installer can select the zone wiring type during initial

commissioning, or at any time after. Note that the Installer can make the

wiring type of expanders either CC or FSL, independent of the wiring type of

the zones on an i-onEX control unit. Note that there are no wired zones on the

i-on16 control unit.

Output Connections

Transistor Outputs

The control unit provides connectors for programmable transistor outputs

which can be used to control external equipment. The outputs are normally

switched negative, from 12V to 0V on activation. In this mode each output can

sink up to 500mA from a dc source.

The installer can program these outputs to be switched positive (from 0V to

12V on activation). In this mode the outputs can deliver up to 500mA to an

external load.

See page 8 for the number of transistor outputs available on each control unit.

i-on Range Introduction

Page 3

Relay Outputs

40 50 160.

The i-on40, i-on50EX and i-on160EX control unit also provide sets of

connectors for relay outputs, providing voltage free changeover contacts. Relay

outputs are programmable by the Installer.

See page 8 for the number of relay outputs available on each control unit.

Digital Communicator Outputs (Plug-by Outputs)

30 40 50 160.

A set of pins on the control unit PCB provide programmable outputs designed

to control a separate digital communicator.

By default each output is switched negative (switched from +12V to 0V when

active). When at 0V each communicator output can sink up to 100mA.

The installer can program these outputs to be switched positive when active

(switched from 0V to +12V). When at +12V each output can provide up to

50mA to an external load.

See page 8 for the number of relay outputs available on each control unit.

USB Port

30 40 50 160.

The USB port allows an Installer to program the control unit through a USB

cable from a PC to the control unit. The PC must be running Cooper Security‘s

i-on Downloader.

The USB port also allows an Installer to apply software updates to the control

unit or, in European versions, install alternate language text files for the

keypad display. To do this the Installer must run Cooper Security‘s i-on

Updater software on the connected PC.

The Downloader and i-on Updater software is available to registered users

from the Touchpoint pages on www.coopersecurity.co.uk.

Ethernet Port

40 50 160.

The Ethernet port also allows a local connection to a PC. The Ethernet

connection is designed to allow an Installer to program the control unit through

a series of web pages presented by a built-in web server running on the

control unit. Cooper Security recommend that you use Internet Explorer 8 or

higher to browse the pages.

External Bell/Strobe Outputs

30 50 160.

The control unit has one external bell output to drive standard Self-Activating

Bell (SAB) or Self-Contained Bell (SCB) modules, and one output to activate a

strobe. Expanders also provide connectors for additional external sounders.

See the Installation Guide for each product for details of maximum current

available for external bells.

Introduction i-on Range

Page 4

Auxilliary Tamper

50 160.

The i-on50EX and i-on160EX control units also provide ―Aux Tamper‖ terminals

for connecting the tamper wiring of any external device (other than keypads

and expanders) that needs tamper protection.

Extension Loudspeaker Connectors

If required the Installer can connect 16 Ohm extension loudspeakers to

increase the audibility of setting and unsetting tones. Each expander also

provides connectors for one 16 Ohm extension loudspeaker. Note that you

must not connect another loudspeaker in parallel to the same connectors.

Keypads

The i-on control units with Release 4 software can use i-kp01 keypads with

keypad firmware version 2.00 and above.

The keypad has a two line by 20 character backlit LCD display and a built in

proximity tag (prox tag) reader. All keypads connect directly to the system

bus.

Users can set and unset the system or partitions from the keypad, either by

keying-in access codes or presenting a prox tag (providing the keypad has a

prox tag reader).

Provided that they are in separate partitions, the control unit can respond to

several keypads in use at the same time. Within a partition, the control unit

responds to just one keypad at a time. The number of simultaneous keypad

sessions each control unit can handle at any one time is:

i-on160EX five

i-on50EX five

i-on30EX two

i-on40 four

1-on16 one

In a part setting system (one not using partitions) the control unit responds to

just one keypad at a time.

The Installer can also program the system from any keypad.

Engineering Keypad

30 50 160

An Engineering Keypad is a modified i-kp01 that can be plugged into a

dedicated connector on the control unit PCB or any of the expanders. An

Engineering Keypad does not need to be addressed, and will always be

recognised by the control unit as an Engineering Keypad.

You can use an Engineering Keypad to program the system without being tied

to any of the installed keypads. If you wish to move an Engineering keypad

from one connection point to another then you can do so without removing

power from the system.

The EXP-R10 radio expander provides 10 channels for radio

detectors. The EXP-R30 provides 30 channels for radio

on30EX the EXP-R30 provides 20 channels. In addition each

radio expander provides channels for: two radio keypads,

two external radio sounders and two Wireless Accessory

Modules (WAMs) (Note that the i-on30EX supports only one

WAM.). Each radio expander also provides wired connections

for a Loudspeaker. The maximum number of expanders,

detectors, keypads and WAMs depends on control unit type,

see page 8.

Note: The total number of radio detectors that can be

handled by an i-onEX control unit depends partly on

the density of radio transmitters within a given volume.

If there are more than 30 transmitters within 10

meters radius of an expander then some mutual

jamming may occur. Please read “Guidance Notes For

Radio Alarm System” available from

www.coopersecurity.co.uk.

Remote Power

Supply

The EXP-PSU remote power supply provides extra power and

more space for standby batteries for larger alarm systems.

The EXP-PSU also provides connections for either 10 FSL

zones or five CCL zones, a loudspeaker and four wired

programmable outputs.

The EXP-PSU connects to the system bus, and

communicates with the control unit in the same way as a

wired expander.

Communications

Each of the i-on range of control units provide sockets for a single plug-on

communication module. The available modules are:

i-dig02

A PSTN module that allows the control unit to report alarm information

using standard protocols such as Fast Format and Contact ID. This

module also allows remote maintenance over the PSTN and sending SMS

messages.

i-sd02

A speech dialler and public switched telephone network (PSTN)

module that allows the control unit to send recorded speech

messages and also report alarm information using standard protocols

such as Fast Format and Contact ID. This module also allows remote

maintenance over the PSTN and sending SMS messages.

Introduction i-on Range

Page 6

i-gsm02

A GSM module that allows speech messaging, alarm reporting and

SMS text messaging over the mobile phone network.

To ensure that the i-on16, i-on30EX, i-on40, i-on50EX and i-on160EX comply

with EN50131 you must fit a suitable communicator.

The i-on30EXD also has a built-in digital communicator. Note that this

communicator is disabled if you fit a plug-on module.

Programming the System

As an installer you can program the system in any of three separate ways:

a) From the keypad.

b) 30 40 50 160 From a PC or laptop connected to the control unit either

over the PSTN or via the USB port, using i-on Downloader software.

c) 40 50 160 From a PC or laptop connected to the control unit via

Ethernet cable, and using a web browser (IE 8 recommended). This option

is not available on the i-on30EX.

This manual describes programming the control unit from the keypad. The

settings and options provided through the web server or i-on Downloader have

the same functionality as those provided through the keypad.

Part Setting or Partitioned System

An i-on control unit offers two basic ways of behaving as an alarm system:

Part Set Mode. In Part Set Mode the control unit 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 all detectors that do not have the appropriate Part Set attribute

enabled (see page 47 ).

Partition Mode. 30 40 50 160 In Partition Mode the control unit

provides the equivalent of a set of smaller, independent alarm systems. Each

system is a ―Partition‖ of the whole. You can allocate any set of zones 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 programming the

installer can allocate keypads, sounders or outputs to any of the partitions.

The i-on160EX supports 20 partitions, the i-on50EX supports five, and the i-

on30EX and i-on40 support four partitions.

System Security Grade

All i-on control units are suitable for use in systems conforming to Security

Grade 2 requirements.

The i-on50EX and i-on160EX can be used in either Security Grade 2 or 3 alarm

systems.

50 160 During initial power up (and if you reset a system to factory

defaults) the i-on50EX and i-on160EX control units provide an opportunity for

you to set various system options in one step in order to program the system

for either Security Grade 2 or Security Grade 3.

i-on Range Introduction

Page 7

Grade 2

The system uses four digit user codes, turns Masking OFF, defaults

User Reset – Tampers to ―yes‖, and ensures that ―Tampers‖ are

communicated as ―Alarms‖.

Grade 3

The system uses six digit user codes, turns Masking ON, defaults

User Reset – Zone Tampers and User Reset – Zone Alarms to

Installer. The system communicates tampers as tampers, and also

defaults the Omittable zone attribute to ―No‖.

You can override any of the settings by selecting individual options in other

parts of the Installer Menu. Note that if you do so then the system may no

longer comply with the selected Grade.

User Codes

When using four digit access codes, the default Installer code is ―7890‖ and the

default User 001 (User 01) code is ―1234‖.

When using six digit access codes the default Installer code is ―567890‖, and

the default User 001 (User 01) code is ―123456‖.

Basic Programming Procedures

Programming Before Installation

If you prefer, you can program the control unit before installing the system in

its final location. You will need to temporarily connect a keypad to the control

unit.

It is possible to operate the control unit from battery power (or a 12Vdc

supply) without connecting the unit to a mains supply. However, in order to

start the control unit processor running you must briefly short the Kick Start

pins together after connecting the battery.

When programming the system while it is running on battery only, remember

to leave the Installer Menu before removing power. If you do not do so all your

changes will be lost, see Important! Saving Changes on page 13.

Built-in Web Server

40 50 160

If you wish to program an i-on40, i-on50EX or i-on160EX control unit from a

laptop or PC you can do this by connecting the control unit to your PC via

Ethernet. You will need a CAT 5 patch cable and a laptop or PC with a standard

web browser (preferably IE8 or above). See the separate publication i-on

Range Web Server Set Up Guide for instructions on how to set up your

PC/laptop and the control unit.

Note that the Master User of the system must enable remote access before you

can use this facility. They must enter User Menu – System Options – Facilities

On/Off – Remote Access and set that option to ―On‖. If remote access is denied

the Master User can still start a call out to i-on Downloader.

Entering and Leaving the Installer Menu

From a Keypad

When you enter the Installer Menu from a keypad, the alarm system is

effectively disabled. While the system is in Installer Menu:

Any other user trying to set the system from a keypad will see the message

―Installer on Site‖.

All HUAs (including radio HUAs), fire alarm zones, 24 hour zones and

tampers are disabled.

Note that you cannot enter the Installer menu if any partition is set.

From a Web Browser

If you are using the web browser interface from a PC to enter the Installer

Menu on an i-on160EX, i-on50EX or i-on40 then the alarm system is still

active. If a user sets the system while you are logged in then the web browser

will display a message at the top of the screen and you will be unable to make

any changes to the control unit. The control unit will not allow you to log in if a
