1. Introduction
The i-on30EXL/EXDL is a control unit for a hybrid
wired/wirefree alarm system intended for
commercial or large domestic use.
The control unit comprises a steel case containing
the control unit PCB (printed circuit board), power
supply and space for a 17Ah backup battery.
The control unit PCB provides terminals for a
single bus. The bus allows you to connect up to
10 devices using standard four wire alarm cable.
The bus devices can be any mixture of keypads,
zone expanders (for wireless or wired detectors)
or remote power supplies. Note that only two of
the 10-zone expanders connected to the system
can have detectors associated with them.
Similarly, only one 30-zone expander can have up
to 20 zones allocated to it.
The control unit PCB also provides a range of
connectors for outputs, communicators, and up to
10 Fully Supervised Loop (FSL), or 10 two-wire
Closed Circuit Loop (CCL) or five four-wire CCL
zones.
The i-on30EXL/EXDL at release 4.04 uses
keypads with software revision 2.0 and above.
The keypads allow end users to set and unset the
system, and the installer to configure the control
unit.
Note that to work correctly the i-on30EXL or i-
on30EXDL must be fitted with at least one wired
keypad.
The following types of keypad available for
connection to the i-on30EXL/EXDL:
i-kp01
This keypad contains an integral
proximity tag reader, allowing end
users to control the system without
having to remember access codes.
KEY-K01
This keypad has no internal prox
reader, and is supplied in a square
format case.
KEY-KP01
This keypad contains an internal
prox reader, and has the same
square format case as the KEY-
K01.
KEY-KPZ01 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 wireless expanders. The range
includes a door contact/universal transmitter, a
passive infra red detector, smoke detector,
external siren, 4 button remote control, and
remote radio keypad.
This control unit is designed and approved to be
used as part of a Security Grade 2 system.
Communications
The i-on30EXDL version of the control unit
contains a built-in ATS2 communicator, allowing it
to comply with EN50131 at Security Grade 2.
The i-on30EXL/EXDL also provides sockets for an
add-on communication module. The available
modules are:
i-dig02
(ATS2)
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.
i-sd02
(ATS2)
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.
i-gsm02
(ATS2)
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.
Note: Fitting a plug on module disables the
internal communicator in the i-on30EXDL.
The control unit also provides outputs that can be
used to fit a “plug by” communicator.
Part Setting or Partitioned
System
The i-on30EXL/EXDL offers two basic ways of
behaving as an alarm system:
Part Setting
. In a Part Setting system the i-
on30EXL/EXDL 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-
on30EXL/EXDL provides the equivalent of 4,
