Programming Before Installation

If you prefer, you can program the control unit before installing the system in its final
location. You will need to temporarily connect a keypad to the control unit.
It is possible to operate the control unit from battery power (or a 12Vdc supply) without
connecting the unit to a mains supply. However, in order to start the control unit processor
running you must briefly short the Kick Start pins together after connecting the battery.
When programming the system while it is running on battery only, remember to leave the
Installer Menu before removing power. If you do not do so all your changes will be lost,
see Important! Saving Changes on page 14.

Built-in Web Browser Interface

40 50 160
If you wish to program an i-on40, i-on50EX or i-on160EX control unit from a laptop or PC
you can do this by connecting the control unit to your PC via Ethernet. You will need a
CAT 5 patch cable and a laptop or PC with a standard web browser (preferably IE8 or
above). See the separate publication i-on Range Web Server Set Up Guide for instructions
on how to set up your PC/laptop and the control unit.
Note that the Master User of the system must enable remote access before you can use
this facility. They must enter User Menu – System Options – Facilities On/Off – Remote
Access and set that option to "On". If remote access is denied then the Master User can
still start a call out to Downloader.

Entering and Leaving the Installer Menu

From a Keypad

When you enter the Installer Menu from a keypad, the alarm system is effectively disabled.
While the system is in Installer Menu:
Any other user trying to set the system from a keypad will see the message "Installer
on Site".
All HUAs (including radio HUAs), fire alarm zones, 24 hour zones and tampers are
disabled.
Note that you cannot enter the Installer menu if any partition is set, or if someone has
entered the Installer Menu from the Web Browser Interface.

From a Web Browser

If you are using the web browser interface from a PC to enter the Installer Menu on an i-
on160EX, i-on50EX or i-on40 then the alarm system is disabled in the same way as if you
had entered Installer Menu from a keypad.
The control unit will not allow you to log in if any partition is set, a user has entered the
User menu, or if an installer has already entered the Installer Menu from a keypad. The
web browser will display a message at the top of the screen and you will be unable to
make any changes to the control unit.
Remember that a Master User must enable remote access to the Web Browser from the
User Menu – System Config – Facilities On/Off – Remote Access option.
Note: See "Code Lockout" on page 12.
