If you are new to i-on alarm systems, you should read one of the following guides first: i-on Compact User Guide. i-on Series User Guide (for i-on30R+, i-on40H+, i-onG2SM and i-onG3MM). These provide an introduction to the key concepts and components of the alarm system, and how to carry out the most common day-to-day tasks.
Introduction About Users A user is a person who is able to enter an access code at a keypad to perform an action such as to: Set or unset the system. Acknowledge and stop alarms. Raise duress alarms. ...
Page 7
Introduction users can assign other users to any of the partitions that the admin user belongs to. Normal user – A normal user can set and unset the system, but has access to a limited number of user options. A normal user can, for example, omit zones, change their own access code, add their own proximity tag, view the log and operate outputs, but cannot add or delete users.
Introduction 29). When the user's access code or proximity tag is used, all zones in the shunt group assigned to this user are shunted. Easy Set (not available for i-on Compact) – This type of user unsets or sets the whole system (for a part-setting system) or all partitions allocated to the user (in a partitioned system).
Introduction Code lockouts If a user has problems remembering their code, or has acquired an unrecognised proximity tag, they may try keying in their code or presenting the tag several times. If this happens four times in a row, the control unit locks all keypads for 90 seconds and starts an "Excess Keys"...
Introduction Partitioned mode Partitioned mode is useful if the system is installed at a site where it is necessary for different groups of users to have independent control to set and unset different areas of the building, such as certain offices in a building used by several companies.
Chapter 2: Setting and Unsetting Introduction Readying the system to start an alarm when someone moves into a protected area is called “setting” the system. Disarming the system so that people can move freely is called “unsetting” the system. You can set and unset your system using a variety of different methods, depending on how the installer has configured your system.
Page 12
Setting and Unsetting Depending on how the system is configured, the bottom line may show the first of several setting options: ↕ Press or followed by to select the option you require: Full Set (part-setting system only) To set the whole system.
Page 13
Setting and Unsetting Note: A zone is armed only when ALL of the partitions that it belongs to are set. Repeat steps b) and c) as required. Press . If you see a fault warning such as: Press to override the warning and continue setting (if your installer has allowed this).
Setting and Unsetting How do I know that the system is set? When the system sets the keypad briefly shows: After a short period, the standby screen is displayed. For example: In a part-setting system, one of the four ABCD keys (or one of the set/unset LEDs on a i-KP01) may glow to show which part of the system is set (Figure 1), unless disabled by the installer to meet appropriate standards.
Setting and Unsetting To quick set (if enabled): Press: A – To set the system fully (part-setting system) or to set partition 1. B – To set part set B (part-setting system) or to set partition 2. C – To set part set C (part-setting system) or to set partition 3. D –...
Setting and Unsetting “S>U” = change set to unset “PB/C/D>U” = change part set B/C/D to unset Repeat steps b) and c) as required. Press . The system unsets. If you see a fault warning such as: Press to acknowledge the warning. Contact your installer for assistance.
Setting and Unsetting The installer can use a 2W Set Instant option to choose whether the remote control should set instantly or follow the configured exit mode (such as a timed set). Operating the buttons To ensure that the remote control does not accidentally operate while it is in your pocket, the buttons are deliberately slow to respond to pressure.
Setting and Unsetting Querying the set/unset status from a two-way remote control Press and hold the Query button. The Query LED flashes red three times. The Full Set, Part Set or Unset LED glows to show the current status of the system. Starting a Hold Up Alarm (HUA) from a two-way remote control A two-way remote control can be used to start a Hold Up Alarm if enabled...
Setting and Unsetting 1. Full Set. 2. Part Set (part-setting system). 3. (Programmable, see page 52.) 4. Unset. 5. Transmit LED. Figure 3. One-way remote control buttons Each remote control has a unique electronic identity. You can assign (see page 31) only one remote control to each user. Setting from a one-way remote control Make sure the system is in standby.
Setting and Unsetting Unsetting from a one-way remote control Note: The ability for remote controls to unset the system can be disabled (see page 56). Enter through the entry route designated by the installer. Depending on how the system is configured, you may hear an entry tone.
Setting and Unsetting C – To set part set C (part-setting system) or to set partition 3. D – To set part set D (part-setting system) or to set partition 4. You will hear a continuous exit tone (unless the system is configured for silent or instant setting).
Setting and Unsetting Press the appropriate ABCD key, as configured by your installer. The keys are normally configured as follows: A − Sets the system fully. (For a partitioned system, only the partition the KEY-RAS is assigned to is set). ...
Chapter 3: Managing Alarms Alarm types and sounds An alarm may occur for several different reasons. For example: A zone is triggered when the system is set (intruder alarm). The lid of the control unit or other device has been opened without the installer being logged in (tamper alarm).
Managing Alarms Hold Up Loud warbling tone HUA zone or radio Hold Up Alarm from sirens and transmitter activated at any time. internal sounders. Pressed on keypad. The installer must enable this feature. Tamper Loud warbling tone Some part of the alarm system has from sirens and been opened (tampered with).
Managing Alarms Send a pre-recorded speech message to specified phone numbers, as described next. Speech messages Note: This facility requires the control unit to have an appropriate communications module fitted. As well as making an audible signal, the installer can configure the control unit to send a pre-recorded voice message to specified phone numbers when an alarm occurs.
Page 26
Managing Alarms If an alarm occurs when the system is unset, the navigation key glows red. To silence, acknowledge and reset an alarm: Make sure that it is safe to enter the premises. Enter your access code or present your proximity tag in the normal way.
Managing Alarms In a partitioned system, some tamper alarms may need to be silenced in more than one partition. The control unit saves alarm information in the log. See page 36 for details of how to view the log. Installer resets If the alarm requires an installer reset, there are several ways that this can be accomplished:...
Managing Alarms Viewing alerts An alert is an event that is not directly related to an intrusion event, such as a low battery, a communications fault or an active "Technical Alarm" zone (which is often used to monitor equipment such as freezers). An alert does not cause the external siren/strobe unit to operate or internal sounders to give a continuous alarm sound.
