2.2 Jumper Configuration
Some of the basic configuration parameters can be changed by mounting or removing jumpers on the
circuit board inside the unit. A configuration parameter is only affected by jumper settings if the
parameter is configured to “Use jumper(s)” in IOR Programmer.
By default, all parameters that can be configured by setting jumpers have the value “Use jumper(s)”
when the unit is delivered, unless something has been specified when the units were ordered.
The only exception is the power mode, which by default has the value “No/Function off”, in other
words power save mode is disabled by default.

3 Event Handling
3.1 Radio Reception: IOR, REPO and LINK
IOR, REPO and LINK can receive radio messages sent from alarm transmitters such as ATOM or
INKA, or from home care phone NEO or portable transceivers TREX and HOME. The radio messages
are normally alarms, but can also be of other types.
Note that if IOR is configured to be in power save mode, it can not receive any radio messages when
running on the backup battery only, see section 3.5 of this manual.
3.1.1 Radio Codes
All radio messages contain an ID code identifying the transmitter that sent the message. The ID code
in a radio message is also referred to as the radio code of the radio message. If the radio message is
intended for one specific receiver, the fixed input ID code of the receiver is sent instead of the ID code
of the transmitter.
3.1.2 Connecting Alarm Transmitters to IOR, REPO and LINK
There are 8 radio positions in IOR, REPO and LINK. In each position, one transmitter ID code can be
programmed. When the ID code of a received radio message matches the ID code of one of the 8
radio positions, then the relay action and radio transmission configured for that position will be
performed.
ID codes for incoming radio messages are programmed in the text boxes for radio code, position 1-8
under the radio input tab in IOR Programmer.
