Note 2:
The system-wide maximum number of outputs includes on-board radio outputs,
on-board relay and transistor outputs.
Note 3:
The maximum number of external radio siren/strobe units is in addition to the

About the built-in keypad
The keypad on the front of the control unit can be used by installers to configure the
system, and by users to set or unset the system. The keypad includes:
An illuminated four-
way switch (the “navigation key”), which is used to navigate
through menus.
LEDs behind the navigation key, which show the fault status of the system.
A numeric keypad for entering access codes and keying-in text.
Dedicated Home key, which you can configure to operate an output or set the
system in a specified way (such as to full set partition 1 and part set partition 2).
Dedicated Hot key, which you can configure to generate a "Medical" alarm or
"Social Care" alert.
Keys for “yes”, “no”, set and unset functions.
Hold-Up Alarm (HUA) keys.
Automatic timeout from the user menu.
Backlit display and keys.
Alarm communications
An i-on Style control unit can use three different methods to communicate alarm
information, as described next.
PSTN communications
The control unit includes a built-in PSTN (Public Service Telephone Network)
communicator, which can be used to:
Report alarm information using standard protocols such as Fast Format, SIA and
Contact ID over a fixed telephone network to a external ARC (Alarms Receiving
Centre)
Send recorded speech messages to a phone number. The recipient of a speech
message can speak with a user at the control unit or to listen for activity.
Allow engineers to perform remote maintenance over the PSTN.
Send SMS alarm messages over the PSTN.
IP communications
The control unit also includes a built-in IP communicator, which can be used to send SIP
IP alarm messages to an ARC.
