Part Setting Or Partitioned System; System Security Grade - Eaton i-on series Engineering Manual

i-on Range
b) 30 40 50 160 Using Downloader software on a PC or laptop connected to the
control unit either over the PSTN, or via the USB port, or via the Ethernet port. (This
option is not available on i-on16.)
c) 40 50 160 From a PC or laptop connected to the control unit via Ethernet cable,
and using a web browser (IE 8 recommended). This option is not available on the i-
on16 or the i-on30EX.
This manual describes programming the control unit from a wired keypad. The settings
and options provided through the web server or Downloader have the same functionality
as those provided through the keypad.

Part Setting or Partitioned System

An i-on control unit offers two basic ways of behaving as an alarm system:
Part Set Mode. In Part Set Mode the control unit 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 all detectors that do not have the
appropriate Part Set attribute enabled (see page 51 ).
Partition Mode.
equivalent of a set of smaller, independent alarm systems. Each system is a "Partition" of
the whole. You can allocate any set of zones to each Partition. Each Partition can have a
Full Set level and one Part Set level. During programming the installer can allocate
keypads, sounders or outputs to any of the partitions.
The fact that each zone can belong to more than one Partition may produce un-anticipated
results for the users of the system. When designing a system remember that a zone will
only be armed when ALL of the partitions that it belongs to are set. If a user unsets any of
the partitions that a zone belongs to, then the control unit will disarm the zone. If a user is
not aware of all the partitions that use the zone they may not realise that a zone is
disarmed when they believe it should be armed.
The i-on160EX supports 20 partitions, the i-on50EX supports five, and the i-on30EX and
i-on40 support four partitions.

System Security Grade

All i-on control units are suitable for use in systems conforming to Security Grade 2
requirements.
The i-on50EX/i-on50EXD and i-on160EX can be used in either Security Grade 2 or 3
alarm systems.
50 160 During initial power up (and if you reset a system to factory defaults) the i-
on50EX/i-on50EXD and i-on160EX control units provide an opportunity for you to set
various system options in one step in order to program the system for either Security
Grade 2 or Security Grade 3.
Grade 2 The system uses four digit user codes, turns Masking OFF, defaults User
Reset – Zone Tampers to "Yes", and ensures that "Tampers" are
communicated as "Alarms".
Grade 3 The system uses six digit user codes, turns Masking ON, defaults User Reset
– Zone Tampers and User Reset – Zone Alarms to "No" (Installer). The
system communicates tampers as tampers.
You can override any of the settings by selecting individual options in other parts of the
Installer Menu. Note that if you do so then the system may no longer comply with the
selected Grade.
