Introduction Note 1: Each partition has one part set within it. Note 2: A 2-way radio keypad (KEY-RKPZ) requires a KEY-RKBS base station wired to the control unit. Up to two radio keypads can connect to the same base station, but this feature cannot be used to increase the total number of wired and 2-way radio keypads beyond the limit shown in Table 1.
Introduction Each device on the bus has a unique address. A device obtains its address from the control unit either during the commissioning stage of a new installation, or when the installer adds the device from the Installer menu. Each device stores its address in non- volatile memory.
Page 15
Introduction Features The keypads feature: A two-line by 20-character backlit LCD display (not available on i-RK01). An illuminated four-way switch (the “navigation key”), which is used to navigate through menus (not available on i-RK01). LEDs behind the navigation key, which show the fault status of the system. ...
Introduction You cannot exit the Installer menu from an engineer keypad, so after you have finished, you will need to disconnect the engineer keypad and exit the Installer menu from a standard keypad. KEY-EP external proximity tag reader Many keypads include a proximity tag reader. The KEY-EP is an external proximity tag reader, which can connect to a keypad and allows the system to be to set or unset externally.
Introduction Detectors (zones) Detectors are the physical devices that detect alarm conditions. A zone is the lowest-level item within the intrusion system that can be set or unset. Note: Although it is possible to connect detectors in series and therefore to have more than one detector in the same zone, it is not normal practice.

Planning the Installation Bus termination In some cases, the ends of the bus may need to be terminated to improve performance in electrically noisy environments or where there are long cable runs. The control unit and bus devices have a termination link on their PCB. Fitting a jumper to the link adds a termination to the cable.
Chapter 3: Getting Started Once all wiring is complete, the system is ready to be programmed. This section provides an overview of how to carry out this task. Later sections of this guide explain the configuration options in more detail. About the user interface The control unit displays configuration options in menus.
Getting Started Initial power-up procedure WARNING: During initial power-up, keypad sounders, internal loudspeakers and wired sirens may give an alarm tone. If you are working at the top of a ladder, make sure that the sudden noise does not startle you and cause a fall. Note: ...
Page 31
Getting Started Select the wiring type you intend to use for wired zones (page 7): This determines the default wiring type for the control unit and any attached bus devices, such as wired expanders. You can change the control unit's wiring type through Installer menu –...
Getting Started Entering the Installer menu Entering the Installer menu allows you to configure the system using the options provided. While you are logged in: The system will not generate alarms. You are, for example, able to open the lid of the control unit without generating an alarm.
Getting Started Transferring to another keypad While in the Installer menu, you can transfer to any other keypad without leaving the Installer menu. To do this, simply go to any other keypad and enter the Installer access code. The new keypad will pick up your position in the Installer menu. The keypad you have left will exit the Installer menu.
Getting Started Resetting (defaulting) the system Restoring control unit factory defaults You can remove all configuration from the control unit using System Options – Restore Defaults – Factory Defaults (see page 92). You must restore defaults from a keypad; you cannot do this from a PC.
Chapter 4: Addressing and Zone Numbering This chapter explains how the control unit assigns addresses, such as to bus devices, outputs, detectors. It also explains how the control unit maps zone numbers to detectors. Bus device addresses The control unit keeps a record of the address it allocates to each device on the bus. Each device also stores its address locally in non-volatile memory.
Addressing and Zone Numbering When reporting alarms to an alarms-receiving centre using CID or SIA protocols, the control unit reports each device as a number (not as an address). For example: Radio Siren Ext.01 to Ext.20 WAMs WAM01 to WAM20 Note that the highest number will depend on the control unit.
Addressing and Zone Numbering Figure 8. Example of Detector Addressing and Zone Numbering (i-on40H) On-board wired detectors Wired detectors attached directly to the control unit (if applicable) use the following address: On-Board Wired Zone Number Detector Address FSL* and 2-wire CC wiring PAN<Z00 to PAN<Z09 000 to 009 4-wire CC wiring...
Addressing and Zone Numbering Detectors attached to an expander Detectors attached to an expander take the address An<dd<ii (e.g. W1<04<00), where: One or more letters showing the device type: W=Wired Expander, R=Radio Expander. Bus number (always 1). dd = Bus device number (see page 25). ii = Input number.

Chapter 6: Detectors/Devices Menu This chapter explains the options in the Detector/Device menu. Detectors Add/Del Detectors This option allows you to add and delete radio detectors (zones). Adding radio detectors To add a radio detector: Select Panel (if applicable) or a radio expander to assign that detector to. Select a zone.
Page 52
Detectors/Devices Menu If you program a radio zone but the control unit does not have a detector learned for that zone, the keypad displays “Zone programmed but not learned” when you leave the Installer menu. Name You can give each zone a 12-character name. The control unit displays this name when, for example, you select the zone or the zone generates an alarm.
Page 53
Detectors/Devices Menu Normal Alarm - NA (03) When triggered, a zone of type Normal Alarm will start an alarm provided the system is set. When the control unit first learns a radio detector, the zone type defaults to Normal Alarm. 24 Hour Alarm - 24 (04) Activating this zone while the system (or partition) is unset causes an internal alarm (internal sounders and speakers only).
Page 54
Detectors/Devices Menu In a part-setting system, the keyswitch can full set or unset. As with momentary keyswitches, you can allocate the zone to one or more partitions (see above). When the user opens the keyswitch contacts, the control unit sets the allocated partition.
Page 55
Detectors/Devices Menu the control unit activates any output of type External PSU Fault and causes an alert that displays “External power fault” on the keypad. If the alarm system is set, the control unit logs the event, starts any programmed communication, but does not start an alert until the system is unset.
Page 56
Detectors/Devices Menu If a shunted detector is active at the time a user restores the Shunt Key Latching zone, the control unit ignores the state of the Shunt Key Latching zone. When all active shunted zones are restored, the control unit will recognise the Shunt Key Latching zone and un-shunt zones when the key is restored.
Page 57
Detectors/Devices Menu When triggered in the unset condition, only internal sounders operate. When triggered in the set condition, the alarm response determines whether external sounders, strobe and communications also respond to the alarm. This zone type is not available for radio zones.

Detectors/Devices Menu An All Partitions option is available to assign or de-assign the expander to or from all partitions. Wired Zone Type You can change the zone wiring method for each wired expander individually. The available options can depend on the expander type. Please refer to page 14 for details of the wiring types.
Detectors/Devices Menu keypad displays the same alert message again, but will continue to set the system if the user presses . The system omits all zones belonging to the disabled device. Replace Expander Use this option if you wish to replace an expander with a new expander, but leave the expander’s configuration intact in the control unit.
Page 65
Detectors/Devices Menu Partitions In a partitioned system, a keypad must belong to at least one partition. You can use this option to assign each keypad to one or more partitions. By default, a keypad belongs only to partition 1. Note: If you do not assign a keypad to a partition (and there is no loudspeaker assigned to the partition), users of that partition will not be able to hear entry/exit tones and alerts for the partition.
Detectors/Devices Menu Zones This option applies to keypads that have zone connections. You can use this option to enable or disable the zones. You can use Detectors/Devices – Detectors – Program Zones to give keypad zones the required properties (see page 41). Please refer to page 28 for details of zone addressing for keypads.

Page 68
Detectors/Devices Menu In a partitioned system, you can assign a radio keypad to any combination of partitions, just as you can for the wired keypads. When delivered from the factory, or if you restore the control unit to factory settings, all radio keypads belong to partition 1.
Detectors/Devices Menu If the jumper is fitted, the radio keypad transmits an unset command two seconds after the user presents a recognised proximity tag. This feature is designed for use when the keypad is working with BS8243/DD243 compliant systems. (Note that this delay does not apply to the setting procedure.) If the Jumper is not fitted, the keypad transmits a command after a user has presented their proximity tag, and then pressed another key (A, B, or unset).
Detectors/Devices Menu The navigation LEDs at keypads other than 2-way radio keypads glow red when a radio keypad is disabled. If a user tries to set the system, the keypad displays “Tick to continue Disabled”, together with the address of the disabled keypad, but will continue to set the system if the user presses .
Detectors/Devices Menu Internal Sounders This menu allows you to add, delete and edit internal radio sirens. See Table 1 on page 2 for the maximum number of internal sounders per control unit. Add/Del Sounder To add or remove an internal radio sounder, select Add/Del Sounder, select the expander (if applicable), then choose one of the sounder numbers (names).

Outputs Menu Exit zone will also cause an alarm if the Entry Time runs out before the user unsets the system. The zone must be set, unless it is a Fire Alarm zone. In a part-setting system, either the system must be full set, or the zone must belong to the part set that the user has selected.
Page 78
Outputs Menu Courtesy Light (45) Active when the entry or exit timer is running. The control unit activates this output when the entry or exit time starts, and deactivates the output 10 seconds after the entry or exit time stops. Installer on Site (46) The control unit activates the output when an installer enters the Installer menu, and deactivates the output once the installer has exited the Installer menu.
Page 79
Outputs Menu Note that the Normal Alarms (and tampers) must both be in the same partitions as the output. The control unit deactivates the output when a user or engineer resets the system. Remote Self-Test (54) This output type is not currently used. The output type is used for the remote self-test feature on certain Grade 3 external wired sirens.
Outputs Menu and On Time below. If Pulsed is set to No, the output changes state when the zone changes state. Note: This option is not available for output types that already have built-in pulse behaviour, including ATS test, PIR Set Latch, Shock/Smoke sensor reset, setting/unset complete, user-defined and courtesy light.
Outputs Menu Plug-by outputs on an EXP-PSU The plug by outputs on the EXP-PSU mirror those on the control unit. You cannot program the plug-by outputs on the EXP-PSU to behave independently from those on the control unit. Custom Outputs A custom output is a virtual logic gate within the control unit.
Chapter 8: Setting Options and Partitions Menus About these menus If you are using a part-setting system, the Installer menu contains a Setting Options menu, which contains all the options to program entry, exit and alarm response for a single alarm system with a full-set and three part-set levels.

Settings Options and Partitions Menus a PIR may still be in lockout, during which it cannot send a signal to complete the setting process. Instant Set The system sets immediately and without any setting tone. The keypad(s) give confirmation tone when the system is set. Note: This option does not comply with BS8243:2010.
Settings Options and Partitions Menus c) By activating a Final Exit zone allocated to the partition (to start an entry timer) and then entering an access code or presenting a proximity tag to a keypad. Note: This method does not comply with BS8243 clause 6.4. As Partition 1 This option appears for all partitions except partition 1.
Settings Options and Partitions Menus Displayed All keypads display a HUA alert message immediately (a user does not have to enter an access code to see the message). If more than one HUA is active, the keypad display scrolls through the alert messages at approximately one-second intervals. The control unit also starts HUA alarm tones from loudspeakers and keypads allocated to partitions in which the HUA occurred, activates siren and HUA outputs assigned to the partition.
Settings Options and Partitions Menus Outputs of type Perimeter Timer deactivate on expiry of PZ Reset Time (see below) or code entry. Communications restored by user code entry. PZ Set Response Specifies the system response for activations of zones of type Perimeter in the set state. In a partitioned system, each partition can have different response.
Settings Options and Partitions Menus The reset time can be set from 0-999 seconds. Setting the time to 0 requires a code at a keypad to deactivate outputs of type Perimeter. Note: For a part-setting system, this option appears in System Options. Siren Delay When the system (or partition) is set and (for example) a zone is activated, the system waits for the programmed Siren Delay before operating the siren and sounders.

Settings Options and Partitions Menus enables you to configure the system so that the common area sets automatically when the last occupant leaves the premises. Zones in partition 1 are always in the common area. You can link partition 1 to any of the other partitions.
Settings Options and Partitions Menus The control unit adjusts its clock in Spring and Autumn to allow for Summer Daylight Saving Time. At the Autumn change-over, avoid configuring any unset events to take place during the changeover time on the Sunday morning. For UK systems, this time is 01:00 to 02:00.
Settings Options and Partitions Menus Warning Tone Press or to choose between Audible or Silent. When Silent, the control unit will NOT sound a warning tone for the event (although the warning timer will still operate). If a warning tone for a partition is due from more than one event at the same time, and any of the tones is set to "Audible", the tone will be audible.
Settings Options and Partitions Menus Press the Menu key to gain access to the setting menu to set another partition that is not involved in the current setting event. Note that if the user is allocated to a single partition, that partition may start setting immediately. If the calendar set warning timer has been deferred by a user, the control unit halts the warning timer, and defers any consequent setting event for 30 minutes.
Chapter 9: System Options Menu This menu contains options that affect the working of the alarm system as a whole. Note: The default settings for these options are compliant with EN50131, see page 31. Changes to some of the defaults may render the system non-compliant. Wired Zone Type The control unit prompts you to select the zone wiring type when you power up a control unit for the first time, or when you restore the control unit to factory defaults (see page 92).
System Options Menu Quick Omit Yes – Allows users to omit a zone that is active while the user is setting the system. The zone must have the Omittable attribute (see page 47). No – Users must use the Omit menu to omit a zone that is active before they can set the system.

Disabled When an unconfirmed Tamper occurs the control unit sends “Tamper”, “General...
System Options Menu When masking is enabled, the alarm response depends on whether the system is set or unset, and which resistance range the detector is signalling with. The system hides the Masking zone attribute, and the Mask Override option (see below).
System Options Menu Mask Override (The control unit hides this menu option if Masking is set to Off.) This option controls how the user can respond to a masking event once it is reported by the control unit. A User can override a masking fault to set the system A User cannot override a masking fault to set the system.
System Options Menu Restore Defaults Staged Defaults This menu option allows you to default parts of the control unit’s configuration without affecting the whole system. You can choose to default the following: User Defaults all user access codes, their HUAs, proximity reader tags, and remote controls.
System Options Menu Note: You will see PSTN Line Fault if the control unit uses PSTN communications. You will need to re-enter the appropriate telephone numbers (or disable communications using Communications – ARC Reporting – Call Mode). If you are using the web interface, re-enable the web browser interface and re-enter the control unit’s own IP address (page 116).
System Options Menu Disabled The user can unset a part-set system or partition using a remote control without first starting the entry timer. RKP Needs Entry This option relates to the use of one-way radio keypads when unsetting a full-set system or full-set partition.
System Options Menu Auto Rearm This option is available when System Options – Confirmation Mode is set to Basic (page 86). Use this option to specify the number of times that the system will re-arm when the siren time expires. Select NEVER to make the system never re-arm (the system will go into alarm once only).
System Options Menu Supervision If a radio detector loses contact for more than 20 minutes, the control unit generates an “RF Warning” event when the system is set. The event can be overridden during the setting process. If a radio detector loses contact for more than two hours, the control unit may raise an alarm, depending on the setting you select: The control unit takes no action, irrespective of whether the system is set or unset.
System Options Menu Force Set You may wish to allow a user with a remote control to set the alarm system when one or more of the detectors are not working or are active.
