1. Introduction
The i-on40 is the control unit for a hybrid
wired/wirefree alarm system intended for
domestic and light commercial use.
The control unit comprises an end station
and up to four separate wired keypads.
The end station has an ABS plastic case
which contains the radio transceiver, power
supply and backup battery. The keypad(s)
connect to the end station by standard
alarm cable.
The keypads allow end users to set and
unset the system, and the installer to
configure the control unit. The keypads also
contain integral proximity tag readers,
allowing end users to control the system
without having to remember access codes.
A range of wireless peripherals is available
for operation with the control unit. These
include a door contact/universal
transmitter, a passive infra red detector,
smoke detector, external siren, 4 button
remote control, and remote radio keypad.
The control unit supports up to 16 wired
alarm zones, 24 wirefree alarm zones, up
to 16 hardwired outputs, 50 four-button
remote controls, 50 two-button radio panic
alarms, and 50 users. See page 22.
Communications
The i-on40 provides sockets for an add-on
communication module. The available
modules are:
i-sd02 A speech dialler and public
switched telephone network
(PSTN) module that allows the
control unit to send recorded
speech messages and report
alarm information using standard
protocols such as Fast Format,
SIA and Contact ID. This module
also allows remote maintenance.
i-dig02 A switched telephone network
(PSTN) module that allows the
control unit to report alarm
information using standard
protocols such as Fast Format,
SIA and Contact ID. This module
also allows remote maintenance.
i-gsm02 A GSM module that allows alarm
reporting, speech messaging and
SMS text messaging over the
mobile phone network.
8750 An Ethernet module that allows
alarm reporting and remote
maintenance over the internet.
8844 A GPRS module that allows
internet protocol access over the
mobile phone network.
Level Setting or Partitioned System
The i-on40 offers two basic ways of
behaving as an alarm system:
Part Setting. In a Part Setting system the
i-on40 can set in one of four ways: either
Full set 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 detectors that do
not have the appropriate Part Set attribute
(see page 17 ).
Partitioned System. In a Partitioned
system the i-on40 provides the equivalent
of four, smaller, independent alarm
systems. Each system is a “Partition” of the
i-on40. You can allocate any zone to each
Partition. Each zone can also belong to
more than one Partition. Each Partition can
have a Full Set level and one Part Set
Level. During installation the installer can
allocate keypads, sounders or outputs to
any of the partitions.
This manual shows the simple procedure
required to install the control unit and its
keypad. When you have completed the
physical installation please consult the
Programming section for details of
configuring the system to meet your exact
requirements.
For a detailed description of the Installer’s
programming menu please read i-on40
Programming Reference Guide available
from www.coopersecurity.co.uk.

2. Before You Begin
Preparation
Before installation you should carry out a
survey of the site. You need to know how
many and what kind of detectors will be
transmitting to the control unit. You also
need to assess where the control unit must
be placed in order to receive radio signals
from the detectors successfully.
To do this you should conduct signal
strength tests. Cooper Security produce the
Scantronic 790r hand held signal strength
meter for this purpose. Alternatively, you
can power the control unit from a battery
and use its built-in testing facility to
measure the signal strength from a
detector that you temporarily place at each
planned location.
Siting the Unit
Do site the unit:
Upright (battery at the bottom).
Within a protected zone.
As high as possible. However, do make
sure that the unit is on a similar level to
the other transmitters or receivers.
Do NOT site the unit:
In the entry or exit zones, or outside
the area covered by the alarm system.
Close to or on large metal structures.
Closer than one metre to mains wiring,
metal water or gas pipes, or other metal
surfaces.
Lower than two metres from the floor
(ideally).
Inside metal enclosures.
Next to electronic equipment,
particularly computers, photocopiers or
other radio equipment, CAT 5 data lines
or industrial mains equipment.
Note: Some window glasses, especially
those sold as “insulating” or “energy
conserving” may be coated with thin metal
or conducting films. These glasses are
particularly poor at transmitting radio
waves.
If fitting two or more keypads make sure
that you do not place the keypads within
one metre to each other. (The proximity
tag readers in each keypad will interfere
with each other.) Remember not to place
keypads on opposite sides of the same wall.
Guided Tour
Opening the End Station Case

Power Availability
Before connecting any external devices to
the control unit, you must make sure that
the control unit can provide sufficient
current to power the system during a mains
failure for the time required to meet Grade
2 PD6662 or EN50131-1. The amount of
current available from the control unit
depends on the battery fitted. The current
taken by the control unit pcb and keypads
is given in Technical Specifications on page
22.
For example: in an alarm system with an i-
on40 control unit, two i-kp01 keypads, and
15 wired PIRs the system takes the
following total current:
Device Current
Control unit PCB 130mA
15 x PIRs at 20mA each 300mA
2 x i-kp01 at 30mA each
(backlights off) 60mA
Total 490mA
A fully charged 7Ah battery can provide
580mA for 12 hours.
In this example a 7Ah battery should
exceed the Grade 2 requirements.

3. Installation
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of this device is
below those levels considered safe by
European exposure limits. Nevertheless,
when fitting the product place it in such a
manner as to minimise the potential for
human contact during normal operation. To
minimise exposure, users should be more
than 200 mm from the device during
normal operation
Step 1. Fit the Control
Unit Box
Caution: Static Electricity
Like many other electronic products, the
control unit contains components that are
sensitive to static electricity. Try not handle
the PCB directly. If you must handle the
PCB, take the standard precautions against
damage by static electricity.

Figure 9 Fixing Holes and Cable Entries
1. Fixing holes.
2. Cable entries.
Cooper Security recommend that you use
at least four fixing holes when mounting
the back of the end station on a wall. Use
No10/M5 countersunk screws at least
36mm long. Figure 9 shows the fixing holes
and cable entries.
Protect the unit from dust and drilling
debris when drilling the fixing holes.
Step 2. Fit and Connect
the Keypad(s)
Siting the Keypad(s)
Do site the keypad(s):
Within the area protected by the alarm
system.
At a convenient height and location for
the user.
Out of sight of potential intruders.
Do NOT site the keypad(s):
Next to electronic equipment,
particularly computers, photocopiers or
other radio equipment, CAT 5 data lines
or industrial mains equipment.
Where the cable run from the end
station will be longer than 100m (see
Cable Configuration and Length).
Note: Do not site two or more keypads
closer than one metre together, otherwise
their prox readers will interfere and be
unable to read tags.
Fitting
Use M4 25mm countersunk screws in at
least three fixing holes when mounting the
back of the keypad on the wall.

Connecting Keypads to End Station
Cable Type
In general, the control unit requires
standard 7/0.2 un-screened four core alarm
cable for wiring to keypads.
For maximum performance in harsh
environments use twisted pair cable with a
characteristic impedance of 100-120ohms
eg: CAT5 or cable designed for RS485.
Use one pair for data bus A & B. Use the
other pair for 12V & 0V.
Screened cable may prove necessary if the
installation site has equipment that
produces high levels of R.F. (Radio
Frequencies), for example welding
equipment. If screened cable is required,
you should keep to the following guidelines:
1. Avoid earth loops by connecting the
screen on the cable to mains earth at
the end station but not at the keypad.
2. The continuity of the cable screen is
most important and screens MUST be
continuous along the full length of the
cable.
3. If the cable enters any metal enclosure,
ensure the screen is isolated from the
case.
Cable Segregation
Segregate the keypad cabling from any
other wiring, such as mains supply cables,
telephone cables, computer network cables
and R.F. cables. Use cable ties to keep
cables separated.
Keep the keypad cable clear of cables
supplying sounders or extension
loudspeakers.
Cable Configuration and Length
You can connect up to four wired keypads
to the end station. You may connect the
keypads either in daisy chain (serially), or
in star (parallel) configuration at the end
station connector.

Figure 11 Keypad Wiring Configurations
For star configurations the cable length
from control unit to the most distant
keypad should not exceed 100m. For a
daisy chain configuration the total cable
length should not exceed 1,000m,
Connection
Figure 12 shows the wiring connections at
the keypad and control unit.
ET B A 12V 0V
Figure 12 Keypad Connection
Temination
The i-on40 data bus uses the RS485
interface. Because of this the ends of the
line in some configurations may be
terminated to improve performance in
electrically noisy environments or where
there are long cable runs. Both control
panel and keypads have a termination link
on their PCBs (see 10 in Fig 3 for the

i-on40
Page 7
control unit and 5 in Fig 8 for the keypad).
Fitting a jumper to the pins adds a
termination to the cable.
In a daisy chain configuration terminate
each end of the chain (see Fig 11 ).
In a star configuration:
If there are only two keypads then this
is the same as a daisy chain
configuration. If required terminate at
each keypad.
If there are more than two keypads
AND two cables are long while the
remaining keypad cables are short (less
than 10m) then it is possible to
terminate at the two keypads with long
cables.
If there are more than two keypads BUT
each keypad cable is more than 10m
then DO NOT terminate.
Keypad Addressing
Each keypad connected to an end station
must have a unique address. See Figure 8
on page 4 for the position of the addressing
jumpers.

connections must be carried out by a
qualified electrician and must comply with
the current local regulations (e.g. IEE).

i-on40
Page 8
Mains Cabling
Make sure that the mains supply cable does
not run vertically behind the aerials within
the end station case.
If you wish run mains cable through the
side of the case, make sure that they are
horizontal for the last metre before entering
the case.
>1m >1m
Figure 14 Mains Cabling Clearance
Note: To avoid mains interference, the
mains cable must enter the control unit
through its own cable entry hole ( 9 in Fig
2) and must not be mixed with other
cables.
Mains Connection
Figure 15 shows the mains connection.
Connect to a suitable supply using a
double pole disconnect device in
accordance with EN60950-1.
Caution: Do not apply power at this point.
Anchor the mains cable with a strain-relief
tie. There is a eye located near the mains
cable entry hole for this purpose.

Figure 19 Connecting Wired Peripherals
The end station pcb provides four
connectors for wired outputs. Outputs 1
and 2 are voltage free relay outputs.
Outputs 3 and 4 are driven by transistors,
and are capable of sinking a maximum
500mA when active. By default outputs 3
and 4 are 0V when active, +12V when
inactive. If you wish to reverse the polarity
of these two outputs use Installer Menu -
Outputs - Wired Outputs – Output 3(4) - Polarity.
Remote Loudspeaker (Optional)
If you wish to add a wired Loudspeaker
unit, then connect it as shown in Figure 19.
Wired External Sounders (Optional)
Wired external sounders differ in their
methods of connection. Figure 19 shows an
example of a general method of using the
outputs to connect a wired sounder.
Note: If you do not wish to connect a wired
external sounder then make sure you link
TR to 0V. This prevents the control unit
reporting Bell Tamper unnecessarily.
Wired Outputs (Optional)
Figure 19 shows an example of using the
wired outputs to drive an indicator LED.

Figure 20 Plug-By Communicator Wiring
Note: Comms O/P4 will be active when the
system is unset. This is normal.
To fit a communicator, follow the
instructions below.
Caution: Follow the instructions in the order
shown, or you may damage the
control unit and/or communicator.
1. Disconnect mains and battery power
from the control unit and remove the
case lid, if the system has already been
installed.
2. Make any necessary connections from
the communicator to the communication
wiring harness. The default is a 12V
positive voltage when the output is
inactive.
Refer to the next section if you are
using a dual-path communicator.
3. Plug the Communication Wiring Harness
onto the communications connector on
the main PCB.
If the system has already been installed:
4. Re-connect the battery.
5. Fit the case lid.
6. Apply mains power.
7. Test communicator operation.
Line Monitoring for a Dual-Path
Communicator
If a standalone dual-path (landline and
mobile) communication device, such as a
RedCARE STU, is connected to the plug-by
connector, you need to do the following to
obtain correct line fault reporting (this is
not necessary if you are using a plug-on
module):
1. Wire a panel output programmed as
type "ATS Test" to the ATS Test input of
the communicator.
2. Wire the Line Fault output of the
communicator to the Line Fault input of
the plug-by connector. The
communicator must provide +12Vdc to
indicate a line fault (for example, if the
Line Fault output at the communicator
uses a relay, connect the common
terminal of the relay to +12Vdc and the
normally-open terminal to the Line Fault
input of the plug-by connector).
The panel will generate an "ATE L.F. Single"
alert if only one of the networks is not
available, or "ATE L.F. All" if both networks
are not available.
Step 7. Fit and Connect
Battery
Fit a 7Ah Lead Acid battery into the battery
compartment in the bottom of the control
unit, see Figure 21.
Make sure that you secure the battery to
the case with the strap provided. Connect
the battery leads, red to the positive, black
to the negative terminals of the battery.
Figure 21 Fitting the Battery

i-on40
Page 11
Note: Connecting the battery without mains
power will not start the system. (See
“Programming A Control Unit Before
Installation” below if you wish to start the
system on battery power.)
Programming Before Installation
If you prefer, you can make the control unit
learn the detectors and other peripherals
before installing the system in its final
location. You will need to temporarily
connect a keypad to the end station.
It is possible to operate the end station
from battery power (or a 12Vdc supply)
without connecting the unit to a mains
supply. However, in order to start the end
station processor running you must briefly
short the Kick Start pins together after
connecting the battery.
When programming the system while it is
running on battery only, remember to leave
the Installer Menu before removing power.
If you do not do so all your changes will be
lost, see Important! Saving Changes on
page 13
If you wish to program the control unit
from a laptop or PC you can do this by
connecting the control unit to your PC via
Ethernet. You will need a CAT 5 patch cable
and a laptop or PC with a standard web
browser. See the separate publication i-
on40 Web Server Set Up Guide for
instructions on how to set up your
PC/laptop and the control unit.
Step 8. Initial Power-Up
WARNING: During initial power-up all the
keypad sounders and any internal
loudspeaker will 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.

Zone Types & Attributes
(Hint: You can select a zone type quickly by
keying the number shown in brackets after
the type’s name, for example:“05” to select
Alarm Abort, “02” to select Panic Alarm,
“11” to select External PSU A/C Fail. The
number does not appear on the keypad
display.)
Not Used (00)
The alarm system will not respond
when an event triggers this detector.
Panic Alarm (01).
Operating a device programmed as
‘Panic Alarm’ (PA) will start an audible
alarm. If a communications module is
fitted there may also be an alarm
transmission to the Alarm Receiving
Centre (ARC), depending on how you
have programmed the ARC Reporting
option. PA alarms operate whether
the system is set or unset.
Fire Alarm (02).
Smoke or heat detectors connected to
Fire Alarm zones cause the sirens to
give a pulsing fire signal. Fire alarms
operate whether the system is set or
unset, and will always trigger
communications, if a communications
module is fitted and enabled.
Normal Alarm (03).
A zone programmed as ‘Normal
Alarm’ will start an alarm when the
system is set. (See “Zone Attributes”
on page 17.)
24 Hour Alarm (04).
Activating this zone causes an alarm
whether the system is set or unset.
Final Exit (05).
Zones of this type must be the last
detector to be activated on exit, or
the first to be activated on entry. You
can use zones of this type to finally
set the system, or to start the entry
procedure.
Note: If you give a Final Exit zone any of
the Part Set attributes then you can
program that zone to behave like a Normal
Alarm zone if the user part sets the system.
Entry Route (06).
Use this zone type for detectors sited
between the Final Exit door/detector
and the keypad. If an ‘Entry Route’
zone is triggered when the system is
set, an alarm will occur. If the
entry/exit timer is running when an
Entry Route zone is triggered then no
alarm occurs until the entry/exit timer
expires.
Note: If you give an Entry Route zone one
of the Part Set attributes then you can
program that zone to behave like a Final
Exit zone if the user part sets the system.
Technical Alarm (07).
Use this zone type when you want to
monitor equipment, for example a
freezer, without raising a full alarm. If
a technical alarm zone is activated
(and the control unit correctly
programmed) then the control unit
starts communication and logs the
event.
If the technical alarm occurs while the
system is set, then system makes no
audible alarm. When a user unsets
the system the keypad shows an
alert.
If a technical alarm zone is activated
while the system is unset then the
system starts an alert immediately
and gives a brief tone from the
keypad every few seconds. When a
user enters a valid access code the
keypad stops the tone and displays
the zone causing the alarm.
When the user acknowledges the alert
by pressing Ythe control unit resets
the technical alarm ready for the next
event.
Key Switch Momentary (08).
Use this zone type to connect a
momentary keyswitch to a single
zone.
In a Part Setting system the
keyswitch can Full Set or unset.
In a Partitioned system you can
allocate the keyswitch to one or more
partitions.
Each time a user operates the
keyswitch the control unit changes
the current set state.
Key Switch Latched (09).
Use this zone type to connect a fixed
position keyswitch to a single zone.
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 closes the keyswitch
contacts the control unit sets the
allocated Partition. When the user
opens the contacts the control unit
unsets the allocated Partition.
