1. Introduction
The i-on160EX is a control unit for a hybrid
wired/wirefree alarm system intended for
domestic, commercial or industrial use.
The control unit comprises a steel case containing
the control unit PCB (printed circuit board), power
supply and space for up to two backup batteries.
The control unit PCB provides terminals for a
single bus. The bus allows you to connect up to
45 peripheral devices using standard 7/0.2mm
four wire alarm cable. The peripheral devices can
be any mixture of keypads or zone expanders (for
wireless or wired detectors).
The control unit PCB also provides a range of
connectors for outputs, communicators, and up to
10 Fully Supervised Loop (FSL), 10 2-wire Closed
Circuit Loop (CCL) or five 4-wire CCL zones.
The i-on160EX at release 4 uses i-kp01 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. The i-kp01 keypad also contains an integral
proximity tag reader, allowing end users to control
the system without having to remember access
codes.
Note that to work the i-on160EX must be fitted
with at least one wired keypad.
There are three other types of keypad available
for connection to the i-on160EX:
KEY-K01
This keypad has no internal prox
reader, and is supplied in a square
format case.
KEY-KP01
This product, supplied in the same
case as the KEY-K01, has an
internal prox reader and also
provides terminals for an external
prox reader KEY-EP
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. These
include a door contact/universal transmitter, a
passive infra red detector, smoke detector,
external siren, 4 button remote control, radio Hold
Up Device and remote radio keypad.
This control unit is designed and approved to be
used as part of a Security Grade 3 system. The
control unit is also approved to operate as part of
a Security Grade 2 system.
If you install any radio devices this will limit
approval to Security Grade 2 in the partition in
which they are used. (For a part setting system
the whole system will be limited to Grade 2).
Note: If the system uses radio HUDs, and no
other radio transmitters, then the system can be
approved as Grade 3, provided the rest of the
system meets Grade 3 standards.
Communications
The i-on160EX 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.
The control unit also provides outputs that can be
used to fit an external
“plug by” communicator.
To comply with EN50131 at Security Grade 2 you
must fit at least an ATS2 communicator (for
example the i-sd02).
To be approved at Security Grade 3 use the plug-
by communicator outputs to connect the control
unit to an ATS4 communicator.
Level Setting or Partitioned System
The i-on160EX offers two basic ways of behaving
as an alarm system:
Part Setting
. In a Part Setting system the i-
on160EX 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.
