About this Guide
The i-on Engineering Guide describes:
The general architecture of systems based on i-on control units.
The options provided by the Installation Menu.
This guide applies to the i-on range of control units using version 4.04 software.
Other i-onEX Publications
To install, connect and start up an i-onEX control unit please read the Installation Guide
appropriate for the control unit.
If you need to add or administer users (and their remote controls, HUA buttons and
proximity tags) then you must enter the User Menu. This is described in detail in the i-on40
& i-onEX Administrator’s Guide and the i-on16 Administrator’s Guide.
If you wish to program an i-on40, i-on50EX/i-on50EXD, or the i-on160EX from a PC or
laptop please read i-on Range Web Server Setup Guide first.
If you wish to use Downloader then please read the Downloader Quick Guide.
A Note about screen displays
Some of the keypad screen displays in this book show the standby screen, which shows
the type of control unit on the top line. Although the book shows “i-on160EX”, the text will
be different if you are using another control unit.
Conventions
Some i-on control units do not share all the programming features available in the Installer
Menu. Where necessary the following symbols show which control unit a feature applies
to: 16 30 40 50 160. If there are no symbols then the feature applies across all i-on
control units.
Changes Since Release 4.00
This section outlines the main changes that have been introduced since Release 4.00.
(Version 4.01 was not released for i-on products, version 4.02 was not released for sale in
the UK.) Changes made since issue 6 are highlighted by a black box.
New in Issue 6 (S/W Version 4.03)
New hardware:
1. 705r now supported as a single channel HUD. The control unit ignores the top button.
2. There is a new Appendix VI showing how the i-on control units support the 703r
transmitter.
For Users
1. Users can edit their own partition assignments for FOB-2W-4B.

i-on Range
Page iii
2. A user can now make only four attempts (instead of 10) before code lockout. After four
attempts the system generates a tamper condition.
3. A Duress Code user is blocked from all menus. A Duress code can only set/unset
system. A Duress code cannot have a prox tag or any remotes or HUDs.
4. Using a Duress code does not prevent other HUDs from starting an alarm.
5. A user can now set other partitions when the calendar set warning timer is running.
They do this by pressing the menu key, and the system shows them the normal setting
options.
6. An External Warning Device fault now prevents setting and cannot be overridden when
configured for EN50131 Grade 3. This fault can only be overridden for Grade 2.
7. For the Master User, Calendar Set now has two new warning timer options, see
“Partitions/Setting Options Menu” below.
8. A Master User can now make a test call to the ARC. This new feature helps installers
to clear PSTN alarm fail and line fail conditions without attending the site.
For Installers:
1. The i-kp01 ABCD LEDs now show the set status in partitioned systems with four
partitions or less (i-on40 and i-on30).
Detectors/Devices Menu:
1. There is a new HUD fault zone type.
2. The Ext PSU AC fail, Ext PSU battery fault, Ext PSU fault, WD fault and HUD fault
zone types are not available on radio devices.
3. There is a new Reset attribute for zones connected to shock and vibration sensors.
4. Tampers on Fire or Technical Alarm zones now cause an internal alarm instead of an
alert.
Partitions/Setting Options Menu:
1. Calendar Set now has two warning timer options: “Warning Time" and "Warning Tone".
Outputs Menu:
1. Output type "HUA confirm" now triggers on any two qualifying events. (two HUAs or
HUA plus tamper in any order).
2. There is a new output type: “Burg confirmed”. This output triggers on any two qualifying
events (two Normal Alarms or Normal Alarm plus tamper in any order).
(These modifications are to help ARCs which cannot correctly differentiate between
confirmed Burgs/HUA using existing outputs and messages.)
3. A Failed soak test no longer contributes to a General Fault.
4. The A/C Fail output type now restores as soon as the fault clears, and does not wait for
the user to acknowledge/clear the fault.
System Options Menu:
1. There is a new option “2-way Set Instant” in User Access.
2. There is a new option “Remote needs entry” for a part set.
3. The entry alarm delay has changed from 45s to 30s.
Communications Menu:
1. Fast Format now has three new channels to provide separate signals for Duress, HUA
confirm and Burg confirm.
2. The HUD/HUA SIA/CID report codes have been corrected:

i-on Range
Page iv
Zone PA = SIA "PA", CID "120"
User RF PA = SIA "PA", CID "120"
Keypad PA (dual keys) = SIA "PA", CID "120"
Duress Code = SIA "HA", CID "121"
3. Automatic Remote Diagnostics is now available the for i-on30EX/D, i-on40, i-on50EX/D
and i-on160EX. (Please note that this must be activated within Downloader by a
Eaton’s Security Business External Support Manager.)
Changes to Defaults:
1. Unset Comms now defaults to Enabled.
2. Fast Format channels 6 and 8 now default to Tamper and General Fault respectively.
3. Selected plug by outputs now default as follows:
4. Output 6 –Tamper, Output 8 –General Fault, Output 11 –Technical Alarm, Output 12
–Alarm Abort.
For –EUR panels Output 5 now defaults to Zone Omit (setting).
5. Default settle time is now 15 seconds.
New In Issue 7 (S/W version 4.03 with new keypads)
New Hardware
1. Control units now support KEY-KPZ01, KEY-KP01 and KEY-K01. The keypads have
new enclosures.
2. KEY-KPZ01 has an internal prox reader and connections for and external prox reader
(KEY-EP), two zones and one output.
3. KEY-KP01 has an internal prox reader and connections for an external prox reader
only.
4. KEY-K01 has no internal prox reader, no zones or outputs.
For Installers
Detectors/Devices Menu
1. The Wired Keypads menu allows you to enable/disable the zones and external prox
reader provided by the KEY-KPZ01, or external prox reader on the KEY-KP01. In
addition, you can also enable/disable the LEDs and set the display brightness for the
KEY-KPZ01, KEY-KP01 and KEY-K01.

Introduction
System Design
The i-on range of control units for hybrid wired/wirefree alarm systems are intended for,
domestic, commercial or industrial use. The range is designed to support a wide spread of
alarm system sizes. To increase the size of the alarm system the i-onEX control units
allow the Installer to connect expanders and keypads to a single “data bus” which carries
all the data between the control unit and its peripherals.
The control unit PCB provides connections for wired zones and a number of outputs. The
Expanders provide connections to either extra wired zones and outputs, or radio detectors
and radio outputs. Both wired and radio devices can exist in the same alarm system. The
single bus cable also allows the installer to connect keypads, output modules or extra
power supplies wherever they are needed.
The Control Unit
Case
All i-on control units are housed in an individual case that provides space for the control
unit’s PCB, power supply and one or more backup batteries. The cases are designed for
vertical mounting on a wall, and provide three or more fixing points.
The i-on160EX, i-on50EX and i-on30EXL cases are made of coated steel and can be
butted up to side walls or a ceiling without blocking the opening or closing of its lid. The
case lid is fixed by a single screw, and can be hung from the case back when open. The
back of the case provides pre-cut holes for cable access, and stands off from the mounting
surface to allow cables to pass behind.
The i-on30EX case is also made of coated steel, and has an “all-over” lid fixed on by a two
screws.
The i-on16 and i-on40 cases are made from ABS plastic.
Battery Backup
The i-on160EX case provides space for two 17Ah backup batteries. Each battery has its
own connector on the control unit PCB, and is charged by the control unit while mains
power is present.
It is possible to run the system with a single backup battery (although the resulting standby
time may not meet the Grade 2 or Grade 3 requirements). If you chose to use a single
battery, then you should connect the battery to connector “BATT1” and program the
control unit to suppress alerts that Battery 2 is missing, see page 104.
The i-on50EX and i-on30EXL provide space and a connector for one 17Ah battery.
The i-on16, i-on30EX and i-on40 provide space and connectors for one 7Ah battery.
Back tamper/Lid tamper. In the i-on160EX, i-on50EX i-on40 and i-on16 the back of the
case provides a plastic shrouded slot through which the Installer can fit the combined back
tamper/lid tamper switch. This switch is mounted on a metal blade that slides through the
slot and touches the mounting surface. Once fitted and connected to the PCB, removing
the lid or prising the case from the wall activates the switch.
In the i-on16 and i-on30EX the lid tamper is a switch mounted on the main PCB.

Introduction i-on Range
Page 2
Printed Circuit Board
All of the control unit functions and connectors are provided by a single PCB. In the i-
on30EX/i-on30EXD, i-on30EXL/i-on30EXDL, i-on50EX/i-on50EXD and i-on160EX a
plastic PCB carrier holds the PCB within the case.
Bus Connections
30 50 160.
The i-on EX range of control units provide connectors for one four-wire bus cable. All
keypads, expanders and other equipment connect to the same bus. The cable can be run
as one single line, or as a three or four armed star branched at the control unit. See the
relevant Installation Guide for details of bus configuration, maximum bus length and
cabling type.
Zone Connections
The control unit itself provides the following connections for wired zones:
Control Unit
CC Zones
FSL Zones
i-on40
8 x 4-wire
16 x 2-wire
16
i-onEX
5 x 4-wire
10 x 2-wire
10
These zones can be either all Closed Circuit (CC) or all Fully Supervised Loop (FSL). The
Installer can select the zone wiring type during initial commissioning, or at any time after.
The Installer can make the wiring type of expanders either CC or FSL, independent of the
wiring type of the zones on an i-onEX control unit. Note that there are no wired zones on
the i-on16 control unit.
Output Connections
Transistor Outputs
The control unit provides connectors for programmable transistor outputs which can be
used to control external equipment. The outputs are normally switched negative, from 12V
to 0V on activation. In this mode each output can sink up to 500mA from a dc source.
The installer can program these outputs to be switched positive (from 0V to 12V on
activation). In this mode the outputs can deliver up to 500mA to an external load.
See page 9 for the number of transistor outputs available on each control unit.
Relay Outputs
40 50 160.
The i-on40, i-on50EX and i-on160EX control unit also provide sets of connectors for relay
outputs, providing voltage free changeover contacts. Relay outputs are programmable by
the Installer.
See page 9 for the number of relay outputs available on each control unit.
Digital Communicator Outputs (Plug-by Outputs)
30 40 50 160.
A set of pins on the control unit PCB provide programmable outputs designed to control a
separate digital communicator.
By default each output is switched negative (switched from +12V to 0V when active).
When at 0V each communicator output can sink up to 100mA.
The installer can program these outputs to be switched positive when active (switched
from 0V to +12V). When at +12V each output can provide up to 50mA to an external load.

i-on Range Introduction
Page 3
See page 9 for the number of relay outputs available on each control unit.
USB Port
30 40 50 160.
The mini-USB port allows an Installer to program the control unit through a USB cable
from a PC to the control unit. The PC must be running Eaton Security Business’s
Downloader.
The USB port also allows an Installer to apply software updates to the control unit or, in
European versions, install alternate language text files for the keypad display. To do this
the Installer must run Eaton Security Business’s i-on Updater software on the connected
PC.
The Downloader and i-on Updater software is available to registered users from the
Touchpoint Product Support/Downloads pages on www.coopersecurity.co.uk.
Ethernet Port
40 50 160.
The Ethernet port also allows a local connection to a PC. The Ethernet connection is
designed to allow an Installer to program the control unit through a series of web pages
presented by a built-in web browser interface running on the control unit. Eaton’s Security
Business recommends that you use Internet Explorer 8 or higher to browse the pages.
With software release 4.04 and higher Downloader can also use the Ethernet port to
program control units from a PC.
External Bell/Strobe Outputs
30 50 160.
The control unit has one external bell output to drive standard Self-Activating Bell (SAB) or
Self-Contained Bell (SCB) modules, and one output to activate a strobe. Expanders also
provide connectors for additional external sounders. See the Installation Guide for each
product for details of maximum current available for external bells.
Auxilliary Tamper
50 160.
The i-on50EX and i-on160EX control units also provide “Aux Tamper” terminals for
connecting the tamper wiring of any external device (other than keypads and expanders)
that needs tamper protection.
Extension Loudspeaker Connectors
If required the Installer can connect 16 Ohm extension loudspeakers to increase the
audibility of setting and unsetting tones. Each expander also provides connectors for one
16 Ohm extension loudspeaker. Note that you must not connect another loudspeaker in
parallel to the same connectors.
Keypads
In alarm systems built around i-on control units all the keypads connect directly to the
system bus.
The i-on control units with Release 4 software can use a range of keypads, including the i-
kp01, KEY-K01, KEY-KP01 and KEY-KPZ01.
Users can set and unset the system or partitions from the keypad, either by keying-in
access codes or presenting a prox tag (if the keypad has a prox tag reader).

Introduction i-on Range
Page 4
Provided that they are in separate partitions, the control unit can respond to several
keypads in use at the same time. Within each partition, the control unit responds to just
one keypad at a time. The number of simultaneous keypad sessions each control unit can
handle at any one time is:
i-on160EX five
i-on50EX five
i-on30EX two
i-on40 four
1-on16 one
In a part setting system (one not using partitions) the control unit responds to just one
keypad at a time.
The Installer can also program the system from any keypad. When the Installer is logged
into the system all other keypads are locked out and their displays show the message
“Installer on site” if a user tries to access the system.
User Interface
All keypads have:
A two line by 20 character backlit LCD display
Four LEDs that can be programmed to show the setting status of the system. To
comply with EN50131 the installer can disable these LEDs in order to hide the state of
the system.
An illuminated four way switch (the “navigation key”) that is used to navigate through
menus
LEDs behind the navigation key that show the fault status of the system.
A numeric keypad for entering access codes and keying in text.
Dedicated A, B, C and D keys that can be programmed to set individual partitions, part
sets, or allocated to control outputs.
Keys for “yes”, “no”, menu and unset functions.
HUA keys that can be used to start a hold up alarm.
The keys are backlit by LEDs within the keypad. The backlighting for both the display and
keys can be programmed to different intensities and timing.
The i-kp01
i-on control units can use i-kp01 keypads with keypad firmware version 2.00 and above.
The installer can disable the ABCD LEDs by removing the appropriate jumpers in each
keypad (see the Installation Guide for each control unit).
Separate jumpers allow the installer to adjust the brightness and timing of the backlighting.
The KEY-K01/KP01/KPZ01
From control unit software version 4.03 onwards the i-on range control units can also use
the KEY-K01, KEY-KP01 and KEY-KPZ01 keypads. All of these keypads provide similar
functions to the i-kp01 and can be substituted freely for i-kp01’s on any i-on control unit
running software version 4.03.09 or higher.
The KEY keypads have slight changes in their user interface compared to the i-kp01:
The KEY- keypads do not have separate ABCD LEDs. The ABCD keys themselves
now glow whenever the setting state of the system corresponds the action
programmed for the key (see page 58).

i-on Range Introduction
Page 5
The navigation key has been redesigned so that the key itself glows red or green to
show system status.
The LCD display is slightly smaller in order to provide space for a customisable label.
This label can be printed with installer details (for example logo or telephone number).
Please contact the Eaton’s Security Business marketing department for more details.
All the KEY- keypads allow the installer to program the behaviour of the backlight, the
illuminated ABCD keys and the LEDs in the navigation key. Instead of using jumpers (as
on the i-kp01) the new keypads now have their own local programming menu, see page 19
for details.
In the i-on EX panels the keypad backlights, ABCD/Navigation key LEDs can be
programmed from the Installer menu, (see page 59). The i-on16 and i-on40 can also
program the keypad backlights from the control unit, but to change the behaviour of the
ABCD/Navigation key LEDs you must use the keypad’s local programming menu.
The differences between the KEY-K01, KEY-KP01 and KEY-KPZ01 are as follows:
The KEY-K01 does not have an internal prox reader.
The KEY-KP01 has an internal prox reader and terminals for connecting and external
prox reader (the KEY-EP).
The KEY-KPZ01:
Has an internal prox reader and terminals for connecting an external prox reader
(the KEY-EP).
Provides terminals for two zones.
Provides terminals for a single output.
Note: Do not fit any keypad with an internal prox reader closer than one meter to any other
type of prox reader. This includes other keypads with prox readers, external prox
readers such as the KEY-EP, or prox readers used by other systems (for example
access control systems). If you mount prox readers closer together than one meter
(including on the other side of walls) then the two prox readers will interfere and may
not work correctly.
Engineering Keypad
30 50 160
An Engineering Keypad is a modified i-kp01 that can be plugged into a dedicated
connector on the control unit PCB or any of the expanders. An Engineering Keypad does
not need to be addressed, and will always be recognised by the control unit as an
Engineering Keypad.
You can use an Engineering Keypad to program the system without being tied to any of
the installed keypads. If you wish to move an Engineering keypad from one connection
point to another then you can do so without removing power from the system.
Expanders
30 50 160
Wired Expander
The EXP-W10 wired expander provides connections for:
Either ten FSL zones, or five 4-wire CCL zones, or ten 2-wire
CCL zones.
One loudspeaker
Four wired programmable outputs
The EXP-WCC wired expander in general provides the same number
of connections as the EXP-W10, but in addition also provides
terminals for ten 4-wire CCL zones instead of five.

Introduction i-on Range
Page 6
Radio Expander
The EXP-R10 radio expander provides 10 zones for radio detectors.
The EXP-R30 provides 30 zones for radio detectors on an i-on160EX
or i-on50EX. When fitted to an i-on30EX the EXP-R30 provides 20
zones. In addition each radio expander provides channels for: two
radio keypads, two external radio sounders and two Wireless
Accessory Modules (WAMs) (Note that the i-on30EX supports only
one WAM.). Each radio expander also provides wired connections for
a 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 an
i-onEX control unit depends partly on the density of radio
transmitters within a given volume. If there are more than 30
transmitters within 10 meters radius of an expander then some
mutual jamming may occur. Please read “Guidance Notes For
Radio Alarm System” available from www.coopersecurity.co.uk.
Remote Power
Supply
The EXP-PSU remote power supply provides extra power and more
space for standby batteries for larger alarm systems. The EXP-PSU
also provides connections for either 10 FSL zones, or five 4-wire CCL
zones, or ten 2-wire CCL zones, plus a loudspeaker and four wired
programmable outputs.
The EXP-PSU connects to the system bus, and communicates with
the control unit in the same way as a wired expander.
Communications
Each of the i-on range of control units provide sockets for a single plug-on communication
module. For the i-on40 and i-onEX range the available modules are:
i-dig02
A PSTNmodule thatallows the control unitto reportalarm information using standard
protocols such as Fast Format, SIA and Contact ID. This module also allows remote
maintenance over the PSTN and sending SMS messages.
i-sd02
A speech dialler and public switched telephone network (PSTN) module that
allows the control unit to send recorded speech messages and also report
alarm information using standard protocols such as Fast Format, SIA and
Contact ID. This module also allows remote maintenance over the PSTN and
sending SMS messages.
i-gsm02
A GSM module that allows speech messaging, alarm reporting and SMS text
messaging 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 with
EN50131 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 the
communicators are disabled if you fit any of the above plug-on modules.
Programming the System
As an installer you can program the system in any of three separate ways:
a) From the keypad.

i-on Range Introduction
Page 7
b) 30 40 50 160 Using Downloader software on a PC or laptop connected to the
control unit either over the PSTN, or via the USB port, or via the Ethernet port. (This
option 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 settings
and options provided through the web server or Downloader have the same functionality
as those provided through the keypad.
Part Setting or Partitioned System
An 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 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 all detectors that do not have the
appropriate Part Set attribute enabled (see page 51 ).
Partition Mode. 30 40 50 160 In Partition Mode the control unit provides the
equivalent of a set of smaller, independent alarm systems. Each system is a “Partition” of
the whole. You can allocate any set of zones to each Partition. Each Partition can have a
Full Set level and one Part Set level. During programming the installer can allocate
keypads, sounders or outputs to any of the partitions.
The fact that each zone can belong to more than one Partition may produce un-anticipated
results for the users of the system. When designing a system remember that a zone will
only be armed when ALL of the partitions that it belongs to are set. If a user unsets any of
the partitions that a zone belongs to, then the control unit will disarm the zone. If a user is
not aware of all the partitions that use the zone they may not realise that a zone is
disarmed when they believe it should be armed.
The i-on160EX supports 20 partitions, the i-on50EX supports five, and the i-on30EX and
i-on40 support four partitions.
System Security Grade
All i-on control units are suitable for use in systems conforming to Security Grade 2
requirements.
The i-on50EX/i-on50EXD and i-on160EX can be used in either Security Grade 2 or 3
alarm 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 set
various system options in one step in order to program the system for either Security
Grade 2 or Security Grade 3.
Grade 2
The system uses four digit user codes, turns Masking OFF, defaults User
Reset –Zone Tampers to “Yes”, and ensures that “Tampers”are
communicated 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). The
system communicates tampers as tampers.
You can override any of the settings by selecting individual options in other parts of the
Installer Menu. Note that if you do so then the system may no longer comply with the
selected Grade.

User Codes
When using four digit access codes, the default Installer code is “7890” and the default
User 001 (User 01) code is “1234”.
When using six digit access codes the default Installer code is “567890”, and the default
User 001 (User 01) code is “123456”.
