Note 1: The maximum number of wired keypads for i-on10 includes KEY-RKPZ keypads.
A KEY-RKPZ is a radio keypad that uses a KEY-RKBS base station wired to the bus. Up
to two KEY-RKPZ keypads can connect to the same base station, but this feature cannot
be used to increase the total number of keypads beyond the limit shown in Table 1.
System bus
i-on10 has a system bus, which is used to connect wired keypads or KEY-RKBS base
stations to the control unit. The devices can connect to the bus using a "daisy chain" or
star layout, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure
1.
Daisy chain and star connections
Each keypad has a unique bus address, which it obtains from the control unit either during
the commissioning stage of a new installation, or when the installer adds the keypad from
the Installer menu. Each keypad stores its address in non-volatile memory.
Part-setting
The i-on10 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 (using the Part Set attribute).
When the system is full set, the control unit sets all zones, irrespective of the part set they
belong to. When part set, the control unit sets only those zones that belong to the part set.
Grade 2 compliance
The i-on10 is suitable for use in systems that need to conform to security grade 2
requirements. For grade 2, you must fit an appropriate plug-by communicator.
Default configuration settings are applicable to grade 2. Note that if you certain settings,
the system may no longer comply with grade 2.
Peripheral devices
This section gives an overview of each type of additional hardware device supported.
Keypads
Keypads are used by installers to configure the system, and by users to set or unset the
system. Up to four keypads can be used.

The keypads supported by i-on10 are listed in Table 2. Many of these include a built-in
proximity reader, which allows users to set or unset the system using a proximity tag.
Note: i-on10 does not support zones and outputs connected to a keypad.
Note: Do not install a proximity reader closer than one meter to any other type of proximity
reader, otherwise the devices may not work correctly.

*The KEY-RKPZ is a two-way battery-powered radio keypad. This keypad communicates
over a radio link to a base station connected to the bus, which acts as a communications
bridge between the keypad and the control unit. You can use a KEY-RKPZ in the same
way as a wired keypad to configure the system, set or unset the system, etc.
KEY-EP external proximity tag reader
A KEY-EP external proximity tag reader can connect to a KEY-KP01, KEY-KPZ01 or
KEY-FKPZ keypad to enable the system to be to set or unset externally.

Introduction to i-on10
Page 10
Detectors (zones)
Detectors are the physical devices that detect alarm conditions. A zone is the lowest-level
item within the intrusion system that can be set or unset.
Detectors supported by i-on10 include:
XCELW
XCELWPT
DETWDT-G2
DET-WDTPT-G2
DET-RSDC
M12
Note: Although it is possible to connect detectors in series and therefore to have more
than one detector in the same zone, it is not normal practice. Instead, there is normally
only one detector per zone and for this reason, detectors are often referred to as "zones"
within the intrusion system.
Wired detectors connect using standard alarm cable to the i-on10. Please refer to page 14
for details of the different wiring methods you can use.
Note: If 4-wire CC wiring is used, this may reduces the available number of zones to 5,
unless an ADP-10CC board is fitted.
All wired detectors with contacts that open and close are supported, as there is no protocol
involved.
Plug-by (digital communicator)
The i-on10 includes an 8-output plug-by communicator port, which allows the system to
communicate externally to an alarms-receiving site using a separate digital communicator
(purchased separately).
By default, the outputs are switched negative (from 12Vdc to 0V) when active. You can
program these outputs to be switched positive (from 0V to 12Vdc) when active.
Output device
A device such as an indicator, lighting system or third-party item of equipment can be
switched on or off using the transistor (open-collector) output available on the i-on10 PCB.
You can configure the output in the Installer menu to control the external device when, for
example there is an alarm in a specified zone.
By default, the output is switched negative (from 12Vdc to 0V) when active; you can
program it to be switched positive (from 0V to 12Vdc).
Sounders
Sounders indicate alarms, entry tones, exit tones and other conditions. There are various
types of sounder:
Keypad sounders −A sounder is built into each keypad.
External wired siren/strobe unit −The i-on10 provides connections to drive a
standard wired siren/strobe unit in Self-Activating Bell (SAB) or Self-Contained Bell
(SCB) mode. The Scantronic SDR-WEXT-G2 siren/strobe unit is supported, as are
other third-party units that have compatible connections.

Introduction to i-on10
Page 11
Loudspeakers −The i-on10 and KEY-FKPZ keypad have connections for a
loudspeaker, which you may want to use to increase the volume or location of
setting and unsetting tones. The loudspeaker must have an impedance of 16 Ohms.
You must not connect two loudspeakers in parallel to the same port.

Page 12
Chapter 2: Installing and Maintaining
i-on10
Planning the installation
Choosing the installation locations
When planning the installation, consider the following recommendations concerning the
locations of where to install the control unit and other devices.
Control unit
The control unit must be located:
Within the protected area (but not in an entry or exit zone).
Upright (battery at the bottom) on a wall or other flat surface to discourage tamper
attempts from the rear.
Out of sight of potential intruders.
Where maximum cable distances will not be exceeded (see page 16).
Keypads and proximity readers
Keypads and proximity readers should be located at a convenient height.
Keypads must be within the area protected by the intrusion system and ideally out of sight
of potential intruders.
Proximity readers or any keypad containing a proximity reader must not be located:
Within 1 metre of another proximity reader (including one located within another
keypad).
Behind a door, coat rack or other covering.
External siren
This must be located out of reach of intruders and vandals, but must be easily visible for
maximum deterrence.
Checking power availability
EN50131-1 or PD6662 Grade 2 requires the backup battery to be able to power the
system for at least 12 hours. The duration must include two 15-minute periods in alarm.
You must make sure that:
a) The control unit's 1.0A power supply has sufficient capacity to power all
connected devices. 180mA is reserved for battery charging.
b) The backup battery can provide sufficient power in the event of a mains failure.
If there is insufficient power available from the control unit or backup battery, consider the
use of additional power supplies.

Installing and Maintaining i-on10
Page 13
When considering the power drawn, include the control unit's PCB and all peripherals
powered by the control unit, including any plug-by communicator, keypads and wired
detectors.
Table 3 gives a summary of the current consumed by the i-on10 PCBs and popular
peripheral devices.
Table 3: Current Consumptions

Quiescent: 35mA
In alarm: 225mA
Worked example
The following shows a simplified example of checking power availability.
Device (quiescent) Current
Control unit PCB 40mA
10 x PIRs at 15mA each 150mA
2 x KEY_FKPZ at 25mA each (backlights off) 50mA
Plug-by digital communicator 25mA
Siren 35mA
Total 300mA
During an alarm, the current consumptions are:
Device (in alarm) Current
Control unit PCB 70mA
10 x PIRs at 15mA each 150mA
2 x KEY_FKPZ at 65mA each 130mA
Plug-by digital communicator 150mA
Siren 225mA
Total 725mA
Since the control unit's power supply can provide 820mA (excluding battery charging), the
above shows that the power supply is able to power the system during an alarm (725mA).
The total amp-hours required for the battery for Grade 2 is:
(0.3A x 11.5h) + (0.725A x 0.5h) = 3.81Ah
A fully-charged, 7Ah battery can provide the charge required by the above example to
meet Grade 2 requirements.

Detector (zone) wiring types
Before installation, you need to choose the wiring type (method) to use for any wired
detectors: Fully-Supervised Loop (FSL), 4-wire Closed Circuit (CC), or 2-wire CC, as
described below. You must use the same wiring type for all wired detectors.
You will need to ensure that all detectors are wired correctly and that you select the default
wiring type during the initial power-up procedure.
Fully Supervised Loop (FSL)
This uses a single pair of wires for each detector, with resistors at the end of the line and
across the alarm contact (Figure 2). The resistors allow the system to monitor for short-
circuit or open-circuit conditions to guard against cable tampering.
The End-of-Line (EOL) and alarm contact resistors can be any of the following values
(respectively): 2k2 and 4k7, 1k and 1k, 2k2 and 2k2, or 4k7 and 4k7. The resistance bands
for FSL are as shown in Table 4.

Two detectors per zone (Double Doors)
4-wire CC
This uses a separate pair of wires for the alarm and tamper contacts. No end-of-line
resistors are used. Selecting 4-wire CC normally halves the maximum number of wired
zones that can connect to the i-on10. However, an ADP-10CC board can be fitted to
convert the ten FSL zones to ten 4-wire CC zones. Without the board fitted, the control unit
supports five 4-wire CC zones. If you are using an ADP-10CC board, select 2-wire FSL
2k2/4k7 as the wiring type.
2-wire CC
This uses a single pair of wires for each detector. No end-of-line resistors are used.
Checking cable requirements
Standard cable type
Normally, the control unit requires standard 7/0.2 un-screened 4-core alarm cable for
wiring to keypads and wired siren/strobe units.
Screened cable
For maximum performance in environments where there is electromagnetic noise, use
twisted-pair screened cable with a characteristic impedance of 100-120 Ohms, such as
Belden 8132 or cable designed for RS485.
If screened cable is required:
1. Avoid earth loops by connecting the screen on the cable to mains earth at the
control unit 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. Where the cable enters any metal enclosure, ensure the screen is isolated from
the case.
Cable segregation
Segregate bus cabling to keypads from any other wiring, such as mains cables, telephone
cables, computer network cables and R.F. cables.
Keep cables to keypads clear of cables supplying extension loudspeakers or any high-
current devices.
Mains cable routing
Use separate cable-entry holes in the enclosure for mains and signal cables. Please refer
to the i-on10 Installation Instructions for details of the holes to use for each type of cable.

Cable length and configuration (star or daisy chain)
You can connect devices either in daisy chain (serially), or in star (parallel) configuration at
the control unit connector (Figure 5). For star configurations, the cable length from control
unit to the most distant keypad should be kept short, and should not exceed 100m.
For a daisy-chain configuration, the total cable length should not exceed 1,000m.
Note that if there are only two arms in a star configuration, this is equivalent to a daisy-
chain configuration.
Bus termination
In some cases, the ends of the bus may need to be terminated to improve performance in
electrically noisy environments or where there are long cable runs. The control unit and
keypads have a termination link on their PCB. Fitting a jumper to the link adds a
termination to the cable.
In a daisy-chain configuration, fit the termination jumpers in the devices at each end of the
chain. In a star configuration, terminate at the two devices on the ends of the longest
cables (Figure 5).

Installing the hardware
Details of how to install an i-on10 control unit are given in the separate i-on10 Installation
Instructions. Instructions are also provided in the packaging of each peripheral device
purchased.
After installing the hardware, you need to configure the system as described in the
remaining chapters of this guide.

Maintaining the system
After installation, the system should be inspected once or twice per year as follows:
Check the control unit for obvious signs of damage to the case or its lid.
Check the action of the tamper switch.
Check, and if necessary, replace the standby battery.
Check keypads and other devices for obvious signs of damage.
Test the action of all buttons on all keypads.
Clean the surface and display of each keypad using a clean, soft, dry cloth. Do not
use water, solvents or any proprietary cleaning materials.
Where applicable, check cabling for signs of damage or wear.
Gently clean the lenses of any PIRs with a clean, soft dry cloth. Do not use water,
solvents or any proprietary cleaning materials.
Walk test all detectors.
Test any external sounders and strobes.

Chapter 3: Configuring the System −
Getting Started
This chapter explains how to:
Use the initial power-up procedure to configure the basic settings of the control unit.
Enter and exit the Installer menu.
Select options and change settings in the Installer menu.
Reset the control unit.
Note: This chapter assumes that all wiring is complete, as described in the i-on10
Installation Instructions.
Initial Power-up Procedure
WARNING: During initial power-up, sounders and the siren may 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.
Note: The following assumes that the control unit has not been previously configured and
that all keypads have a "null" address (no address previously allocated). If required, please
refer to page 23 for details of how to reset an existing system.
To configure the system for the first time:
1. Connect the control unit's battery.
2. Close the lid of the control unit if there is no need to keep it open.
3. Switch on the mains supply.
Note: Ordinarily, the control unit starts only after the mains supply is switched on,
even if a battery is connected. If you want to operate the control unit temporarily
using only the battery (or a 12VDC supply), start it by briefly shorting the kick-start
link on the PCB.
4. Wait until you see:


This message indicates that the keypad has a "null" address.
5. Go to the keypad you want to use for initial configuration. Obtain an address for this
keypad by pressing and holding A and keys simultaneously for at least three
seconds until you hear a sound. The display shows the address allocated by the
control unit, such as “b1-d01”(bus 1, device 01).
The address is now stored in the keypad.
