Introduction to i-on10
Page 8
Note 1:
The maximum number of wired keypads for i-on10 includes KEY-RKPZ keypads.
A KEY-RKPZ is a radio keypad that uses a KEY-RKBS base station wired to the bus. Up
to two KEY-RKPZ keypads can connect to the same base station, but this feature cannot
be used to increase the total number of keypads beyond the limit shown in Table 1.
System bus
i-on10 has a system bus, which is used to connect wired keypads or KEY-RKBS base
stations to the control unit. The devices can connect to the bus using a "daisy chain" or
star layout, as shown in Figure 1.

Each keypad has a unique bus address, which it obtains from the control unit either during
the commissioning stage of a new installation, or when the installer adds the keypad from
the Installer menu. Each keypad stores its address in non-volatile memory.
Part-setting
The i-on10 can set in one of four ways: either full set or one of three part sets (part set B,
C or D). Each zone can belong to one or more part sets (using the Part Set attribute).
When the system is full set, the control unit sets all zones, irrespective of the part set they
belong to. When part set, the control unit sets only those zones that belong to the part set.
Grade 2 compliance
The i-on10 is suitable for use in systems that need to conform to security grade 2
requirements. For grade 2, you must fit an appropriate plug-by communicator.
Default configuration settings are applicable to grade 2. Note that if you certain settings,
the system may no longer comply with grade 2.
Peripheral devices
This section gives an overview of each type of additional hardware device supported.
Keypads
Keypads are used by installers to configure the system, and by users to set or unset the
system. Up to four keypads can be used.
