Introduction i-on RangePage 6Radio Expander The EXP-R10 radio expander provides 10 zones for radio detectors.The EXP-R30 provides 30 zones for radio detectors on an i-on160EXor i-on50EX. When fitted to an i-on30EX the EXP-R30 provides 20zones. In addition each radio expander provides channels for: tworadio keypads, two external radio sounders and two WirelessAccessory Modules (WAMs) (Note that the i-on30EX supports onlyone WAM.). Each radio expander also provides wired connections fora Loudspeaker. The maximum number of expanders, detectors,keypads and WAMs depends on control unit type, see page 9.Note: The total number of radio detectors that can be handled by ani-onEX control unit depends partly on the density of radiotransmitters within a given volume. If there are more than 30transmitters within 10 meters radius of an expander then somemutual jamming may occur. Please read “Guidance Notes ForRadio Alarm System” available from www.coopersecurity.co.uk.Remote PowerSupplyThe EXP-PSU remote power supply provides extra power and morespace for standby batteries for larger alarm systems. The EXP-PSUalso provides connections for either 10 FSL zones, or five 4-wire CCLzones, or ten 2-wire CCL zones, plus a loudspeaker and four wiredprogrammable outputs.The EXP-PSU connects to the system bus, and communicates withthe control unit in the same way as a wired expander.CommunicationsEach of the i-on range of control units provide sockets for a single plug-on communicationmodule. For the i-on40 and i-onEX range the available modules are:i-dig02 A PSTN module that allows the control unit to report alarm information using standardprotocols such as Fast Format, SIA and Contact ID. This module also allows remotemaintenance over the PSTN and sending SMS messages.i-sd02 A speech dialler and public switched telephone network (PSTN) module thatallows the control unit to send recorded speech messages and also reportalarm information using standard protocols such as Fast Format, SIA andContact ID. This module also allows remote maintenance over the PSTN andsending SMS messages.i-gsm02 A GSM module that allows speech messaging, alarm reporting and SMS textmessaging over the GSM mobile phone network.For the i-on16 the i-sd01 provides a speech dialler and public switched telephone network(PSTN) module with the same features as the i-sd02.To ensure that the i-on16, i-on30EX, i-on40, i-on50EX and i-on160EX comply withEN50131 you must fit a suitable communicator to meet the Security Grade required.The i-on30EXD and i-on50EXD also have built-in digital communicators. Note that thecommunicators are disabled if you fit any of the above plug-on modules.Programming the SystemAs an installer you can program the system in any of three separate ways:a) From the keypad.
