Introduction
i-on160EX
Page 2
Partitioned System
. In a Partitioned system the i-
on160EX provides the equivalent of 20, smaller,
independent alarm systems. Each system is a
“Partition” of the i-on160EX. You can allocate
zones freely to each Partition (although
Eaton’s
Security Business recommends that each zone
belongs to one partition only, simply to make the
resulting system easier to program). Each zone
can also belong to more than one Partition. Each
Partition can have a Full Set level and one Part
Set level. During installation the installer can
allocate keypads, sounders or outputs to any of
the partitions.
For a detailed description of the Installer’s
programming menu please read

Engineering Guide
available from

.
Installer Programming Interface
Once fitted and powered up, you can program the
control unit through any wired keypad connected
to the bus cable. The Installer Menu allows you to
specify all the operating parameters for an
individual installation.
If you wish, you can also program the system from
a PC or laptop connected to the Ethernet port on
the control unit PCB. The control unit contains a
web page server, and you can use any web
browser to see a complete version of the Installer
menu. Please see the
i-on Web Server Setup
Guide
for more instructions.
Note that
Eaton’s Security Business recommend
using Internet Explorer. Other browsers may not
be fully compatible with the built-in web browser
interface.
In addition, it is possible to connect a PC or laptop
to the mini USB port on the control unit PCB and
use
Eaton’s Security Business Downloader
software to program the control unit.
Note: Some programming options can make the
installation non-compliant with EN50131. The
relevant options are noted in
the “Installer Menu”
section of the
i-on Range Engineering Guide
.
