i-on Range IntroductionPage 7b) 30 40 50 160 Using Downloader software on a PC or laptop connected to thecontrol unit either over the PSTN, or via the USB port, or via the Ethernet port. (Thisoption is not available on i-on16.)c) 40 50 160 From a PC or laptop connected to the control unit via Ethernet cable,and using a web browser (IE 8 recommended). This option is not available on the i-on16 or the i-on30EX.This manual describes programming the control unit from a wired keypad. The settingsand options provided through the web server or Downloader have the same functionalityas those provided through the keypad.Part Setting or Partitioned SystemAn i-on control unit offers two basic ways of behaving as an alarm system:Part Set Mode. In Part Set Mode the control unit can set in one of four ways: either Fullset or three varieties of Part Set. In Full Set the control unit pays attention to all detectors.In each of the three Part Sets, the control unit ignores all detectors that do not have theappropriate Part Set attribute enabled (see page 51 ).Partition Mode. 30 40 50 160 In Partition Mode the control unit provides theequivalent of a set of smaller, independent alarm systems. Each system is a “Partition” ofthe whole. You can allocate any set of zones to each Partition. Each Partition can have aFull Set level and one Part Set level. During programming the installer can allocatekeypads, sounders or outputs to any of the partitions.The fact that each zone can belong to more than one Partition may produce un-anticipatedresults for the users of the system. When designing a system remember that a zone willonly be armed when ALL of the partitions that it belongs to are set. If a user unsets any ofthe partitions that a zone belongs to, then the control unit will disarm the zone. If a user isnot aware of all the partitions that use the zone they may not realise that a zone isdisarmed when they believe it should be armed.The i-on160EX supports 20 partitions, the i-on50EX supports five, and the i-on30EX andi-on40 support four partitions.System Security GradeAll i-on control units are suitable for use in systems conforming to Security Grade 2requirements.The i-on50EX/i-on50EXD and i-on160EX can be used in either Security Grade 2 or 3alarm systems.50 160 During initial power up (and if you reset a system to factory defaults) the i-on50EX/i-on50EXD and i-on160EX control units provide an opportunity for you to setvarious system options in one step in order to program the system for either SecurityGrade 2 or Security Grade 3.Grade 2 The system uses four digit user codes, turns Masking OFF, defaults UserReset – Zone Tampers to “Yes”, and ensures that “Tampers” arecommunicated as “Alarms”.Grade 3 The system uses six digit user codes, turns Masking ON, defaults User Reset– Zone Tampers and User Reset – Zone Alarms to “No” (Installer). Thesystem communicates tampers as tampers.You can override any of the settings by selecting individual options in other parts of theInstaller Menu. Note that if you do so then the system may no longer comply with theselected Grade.
