Chapter 1: Introduction About this manual This manual provides full details of how to operate and administer an i-on alarm system as a user. The manual describes: The user types. The meaning of part-setting and partitioned modes. Detailed information about how to perform functions such as setting and unsetting the system.
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 32). 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 Users can also use a remote control to set or unset the system, or to operate outputs (depending on how the system is configured). The access code of the first master user is defined by the installer during installation. It is recommended that you change this user code as soon as possible after system installation (see page 37).
Introduction When the system is part set, the control unit sets only those zones that belong to the part set you have chosen to set. The installer defines which zones are in each part set. A part set may, for example, set all areas of the building except the delivery area, which would allow people to occupy the delivery area while the main part of the building is protected.
Introduction About the web interface This guide describes how to administer the control unit from a keypad. However, if the control unit is connected to the LAN, master users can also monitor and configure certain settings from the web interface (Figure 1), as the control unit has a built-in web server.
The new user can change the password using User Menu – Users – Edit User (if available to the user). The virtual keypad can also be accessed through Eaton SecureConnect, as described in the SecureConnect Installer’s Guide. Page 8...
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 14
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 15
Setting and Unsetting Note: A zone is armed only when ALL of the partitions that it belongs to are set (unless the zone has the One Partition attribute set). Repeat steps b) and c) as required. Press . If you see a fault warning such as: ...
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 from a two-way remote control A two-way remote control can be used to start a hold-up alarm if enabled by an installer and in the user menu (see page 59).
Setting and Unsetting 1. Full Set. 2. Part Set (part-setting system). 3. (Programmable, see page 55.) 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 34) 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 59). 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 device 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 Save recorded camera images. Send an alarm message to an Alarms Receiving Centre (ARC), who may decide to call the police or other security service to investigate the alarm. Depending on the hardware fitted, communication may be via a fixed-line telephone network, or over a mobile phone network, or across the internet (using the SecureConnect™...
Managing Alarms Silencing, acknowledging and resetting alarms If there is an alarm, you will need to silence the sirens and sounders (if they are still running), acknowledge the cause of the alarm and reset the system. Note: By default, sirens run for a maximum of 15 minutes. If this period has expired, the system may be silent, but you will still need to acknowledge and reset the alarm.
Managing Alarms If the alarm message included "Press tick to reset" (see above), acknowledging the alarm also resets the system and the navigation key returns to its normal (green) state. If the alarm message included "Call Installer" (see above) or "Call ARC", you will need to call the installer or ARC to reset the system (as described in the next section), although you will still be able to set and unset the system normally.
Managing Alarms Accidental alarms Your installer may have configured your system so that if you set off an alarm accidentally, you have an "Abort Time" (by default 120 seconds) in which to cancel the alarm. Go immediately to a keypad and enter your access code.
Page 31
Managing Alarms If you see a message similar to the following, it indicates that the alert has been caused by a Technical Alarm and the detector is still active: If you can, rectify the problem and repeat the procedure to reset the alert.
