Multiple (independent) iButton
Reader operation
If each device has its own independent iButton Reader, please refer to the below instructions on how to
operate the i4 alarm.
When first powered up the i4 will automatically enable battery backup and attempt to arm the system.
When armed the i4 will be silent and the iButton Reader will flash green intermittently.
Alarm Sounding:
If the i4 is triggered, the alarm will sound, and the iButton Reader for the affected port will flash red. The
blue LED status indicator on any affected port will flash.
To silence an alarm:
Touch the black iButton Key on to any attached iButton Reader. Only the affected port will be
deactivated and the iButton Reader for that port will turn solid green. The i4 will beep intermittently to
signal that it is part set.
To deactivate an armed port (remerchandise):
Touch the black iButton Key on to the iButton Reader for the port to be disarmed. When the port is
disarmed the iButton Reader will show a solid green light and beep intermittently.
While disarmed the status indicator for each port will show the current state of the port:
Off:
On:
Flashing:
No Sensor detected.
Recoiler/Sensor detected, and secured.
Recoiler/Sensor detected, not secured or fault.
Auto Reset:
If a sounding alarm has been silenced, the i4 will auto reset once the product has been re-secured. If
the i4 has been disarmed or if user intervention is required then it will be neccessary to touch the black
iButton Key to the iButton Reader to set the alarm.
To add Recoilers and Sensors to an existing setup:
Plug an iButton Reader into an empty port. The i4 will start to beep 5 times intermittently and the
added iButton Reader will flash orange. Then connect the Recoiler with a Sensor and a product fitted to
the Sensor. The iButton Reader will be solid green on that port and the system will beep intermittently
to signal that it’s part set. Arm the port with the black iButton Key to accept the change and secure the
newly added port.
To remove Recoilers and Sensors from an existing setup:
Disarm the port to be removed by pressing the black iButton Key onto the iButton Reader. Remove the
Recoiler from the i4 alarm, the system will start to signal that an iButton Reader is connected without
a Recoiler by sounding 5 beeps and the iButton Reader will flash orange. Once the iButton Reader
representing the now absent Recoiler port is removed, the i4 will reconfigure with the new number of
secured ports.
