About the i-on range of control units
The i-on range of control units have been designed to satisfy the most demanding
requirements of alarm-systems professionals for domestic, commercial and industrial
applications. The control units are flexible, easy to install and robust. The i-on range
supports wired, wirefree or hybrid applications.
The modular approach of i-on alarm systems allows the design to match site requirements
and maximise cost-efficiency.
Five different models of control unit are available for different sizes and types of
application:
i-on Compact
.
This is a radio (wire-free) solution for domestic applications. The i-on
Compact has a built-in keypad and supports up to 20 radio zones (detectors).
i-on30R+
. This provides on-board support for 30 radio zones, and supports a system
maximum of 60 zones. Any combination of radio and wired zones can be used. The
i-on30R+ uses a plastic enclosure.
i-on40H+
. This provides on-board support for 30 radio zones and 10 wired zones, and
supports a system maximum of 80 zones. The i-on40H+ uses a plastic enclosure.
i-onG2SM
. This provides on-board support for 10 wired zones, and supports a system
maximum of 50 zones. The i-onG2SM is compliant with grade 2 (as are all control
units in the range), and uses a Small Metal (SM) enclosure.
i-onG3MM
. This provides on-board support for 10 wired zones, and supports a
system maximum of 200 zones. The i-onG3MM is grade compliant, and uses a
Medium Metal (MM) enclosure.
Summary of features
The i-on range of control units feature:
Grade 2 compliance for all control units; grade 3 compliance for the i-onG3MM.
A bus for connection to devices such as wired keypads and expanders (not i-on
Compact). Expanders provide additional zones up to the system maximum shown in
Table 1.
An on-board radio transceiver (not i-onG2SM and i-onG3MM), which has a range of
up to 500m and supports devices such as radio detectors, Scantronic radio
siren/strobe units and radio outputs.
Sockets for an optional plug-on communicator (required for grade 2/3).
Terminals for a plug-by communicator (depending on the control unit).
Cloud access using the freely-
available SecureConnect™ application. SecureConnect
provides web access for installers to configure the system, allows users to operate the
system remotely from a mobile app, and carries out background tasks such as to send
alarm notifications by email or over the internet to an ARC.
