Chapter 1: Introduction
About this guide
This guide explains how to operate and administer an i-on Next Generation
alarm system as a user. The guide describes the devices you can use to
carry out these tasks, how to perform functions such as setting and
unsetting the system, how to manage alarms and the options available
from the user menu to carry out tasks such as omitting zones, adding users
and viewing the log.
This guide does not describe topics such as system installation,
maintenance and installer menu options; these topics are covered in other
guides that are available to installers.
Part-setting and partitioned modes
Depending on your requirements, your system may have been configured
by the installer as a part-setting system or a partitioned system. These two
modes are explained below.
Part-setting mode
In part-setting mode, the control unit can set in one of four ways: either full
set or one of three part sets (part set B, C or D). Each zone can belong to
one or more part sets.
When the system is full set, the control unit sets all zones, irrespective of
the part set they belong to.
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.
In a part-setting system, the system responds to just one keypad at a time.

Introduction

Partitioned mode
Partitioned mode is useful if the system is installed at a site where it is
necessary for different groups of users to have independent control to set
and unset different areas of the building, such as certain offices in a
building used by several companies. The maximum number of partitions is
dependent on the type of control unit you are using.
The installer can allocate one or more zones to each partition, and users
can set and unset each partition completely independently of all the others.
Individual users can be given access to one or more partitions. If a user
has no access to a partition, he or she cannot set or unset that partition. In
effect, partitions allow the system to be split into separate alarm systems.
A zone is armed only when ALL of the partitions that it belongs to are set. If
you unset any of the partitions that a zone belongs to, the control unit will
unset that zone. This allows, for example, the system to include areas such
as lobbies that are shared by users belonging to different companies.
In addition, each partition can have a full-set level and one part-set level.
Users can choose whether to set a partition to which they have access at
full or part-set level. When the user chooses the part-set level, all zones
that the installer has assigned the "Part Set" attribute are set, and the
others remain unset.
For partitioned systems, you can use more than one keypad at the same
time, provided that they are in separate partitions. Within each partition, the
control unit responds to just one keypad at a time.
The installer can allocate keypads, sirens, sounders or outputs to any of
the partitions.

The control unit
At the heart of an i-on alarm system is the control unit, which is often
installed in a cupboard or elsewhere that is out of sight.

Introduction
Page 4
The control unit contains the main processing unit, the power supply and
stand-by battery. The stand-by battery can keep the alarm system
operational for several hours if the mains supply fails.
Several different control units are available. Each provides a different
number of zones, outputs, users and other features. The control unit
selected should match the requirements of the site.
Alarm communication
When the control unit detects an alarm, it starts an external sounder/strobe
unit and operates sounders (such as the sounder in keypads).
If configured, the control unit can also communicate alarm information to an
Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) across the internet, or (depending on the
hardware fitted) over a fixed-line or mobile telephone network.
Also depending on the hardware fitted and system configuration, the
control unit may send alarm information by email, SMS text message, or to
a specified telephone number using a pre-recorded speech message.
SMS command message control
If the control unit has appropriate hardware fitted, you can change or query
the status of the alarm system using commands contained within SMS text
messages sent from a mobile phone or other messaging device.
You can send SMS command messages to set/unset the system,
activate/deactivate outputs, omit/un-omit zones or query the current status
of the system.
For further information, please refer to the "SMS Command Messaging
User's Guide".
Detectors (zones)
Detectors are the physical devices that detect alarm conditions. They
include devices such as passive infra-red movement detectors, door
contacts and smoke detectors. Each detector may use a wired or radio
connection to the alarm system, depending on the type of detector.
In addition to fixed detectors, the control unit can monitor small portable
Hold-Up Alarm (HUA) transmitters, which users can use to start alarms
remotely. HUA transmitters are also known as Panic Alarms (PAs).
A zone is the lowest-level item within the intrusion system that can be set
or unset, but since there is normally only one detector per zone, the terms
"zone" and "detector" are often used interchangeably.

Introduction
Page 5
Outputs
The system provides "outputs", which can control external equipment such
as lights, locking devices or other equipment, or communicate with an
Alarms Receiving Centre (ARC).
The installer can configure "User Defined" outputs, which you can switch on
or off from a keypad or remote control.
Keypads
Keypads normally provide the main interface between users and the alarm
system. They allow users to perform all functions, such as setting or
unsetting the system and accessing the user menu options. Each alarm
system can have one or more keypads up to a limit depending on the
control unit used.
The i-on Next Generation range of alarm systems supports several different
types and styles of keypad (Figure 2), including wired and radio (wireless)
keypads.
The keypads have keys to operate the system, and a two-line display to
show you status information or options. Keypads also contain a sounder,
which gives warning tones when the system is setting or unsetting, or when
an alarm is detected.
Users identify themselves to the system by entering their unique access
code at the keypad or by presenting a proximity tag (see page 8).
The following sections explain the main features of keypads.

LCD display
("1" on Figure 2.)
The LCD display shows messages and prompts to guide you through
actions such as setting, unsetting, acknowledging alarms and using the
user options.
When the system is idle (either while set or unset), the display shows the
“standby screen”. For example:
