1. Introduction
The i-on50EX and i-on50EXD are control units for
hybrid wired/wirefree alarm systems intended for
commercial or large domestic use.
Each control unit comprises a steel case
containing the control unit PCB (printed circuit
board), power supply and space for backup
batteries.
The control unit PCB provides terminals for a
single bus. The bus allows you to connect up to
20 peripheral devices using standard four wire
alarm cable. The peripheral devices can be any
mixture of keypads, zone expanders (for wireless
or wired detectors) or remote power supplies.
The control unit PCB also provides a range of
connectors for outputs, communicators, and up to
10 Fully Supervised Loop (FSL) detectors, or 10
two-wire Closed Circuit Loop (CCL) detectors, or
five four-wire CCL detectors.
The i-on50EX/EXD at release 4 uses i-kp01
keypads with software revision 2.0 and above
above. The keypads allow end users to set and
unset the system, and the installer to configure
the control unit. The i-kp01 keypad also contains
an integral proximity tag reader, allowing end
users to control the system without having to
remember access codes.
Note that to work correctly the i-on50EX/EXD
must be fitted with at least one wired keypad.
The following types of keypad are also available
for connection to the i-on50EX/EXD:
KEY-K01
This keypad has no internal prox
reader, and is supplied in a square
format case.
KEY-KP01
This product, supplied in the same
case as the KEY-K01, has an
internal prox reader and also
provides terminals for an external
prox reader KEY-EP
KEY-KPZ01 This product, supplied in the same
case as the KEY-K01, has an
internal prox reader and also
provides terminals for up to two
zones, a programmable output, and
an external prox reader KEY-EP
A range of wireless peripherals is available for
operation with the wireless expanders. These
include a door contact/universal transmitter, a
passive infra-red detector, smoke detector,
external siren, 4 button remote control, and
remote radio keypad.
This control unit is designed and approved to be
used as part of a Security Grade 3 system. The
control unit is also approved to operate as part of
a Security Grade 2 system. If you install any radio
devices this will limit approval to Security Grade 2
in the partition in which they are used.
Communications
The i-on50EXD version of the control unit contains
a built-in ATS2 communicator, allowing it to
comply with EN50131 at Security Grade 2.
The i-on50EX and i-on50EXD also provide
sockets for an add-on communication module.
The available modules are:
i-dig02
(ATS2)
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, and can also send
text messages over the Public
Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN). The i-dig02 also allows
remote maintenance using
Eaton’s
Security Business Downloader
software.
i-sd02
(ATS2)
A speech dialler and 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. The
module can also send text
messages over the PSTN. The i-
sd02 also allows remote
maintenance using
Eaton’s Security
Business Downloader software.
i-gsm02
(ATS2)
A GSM module that allows alarm
reporting, speech messaging and
SMS text messaging over the
mobile phone network. Note that a
SIM card is not included with the
module.
Note: Fitting a plug on module disables the
internal communicator on the i-on50EXD.
For the i-on50EX to comply with EN50131 at
Security Grade 2 you must fit an ATS2
communicator (for example the i-sd02).
To be approved at Security Grade 3 use the plug-
by communicator outputs to connect the control
unit to an ATS4 communicator.
Level Setting or Partitioned System
The i-on50EX/EXD offers two basic ways of
behaving as an alarm system:
Part Setting. In a Part Setting system the i-
on50EX 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.
