i-on40 is a 40 zone control unit for hybrid wired/wirefree alarm systems intended for domestic and light commercial use.
The control unit comprises an end station with remote keypads. The simple-to-install end station has an ABS plastic case which contains the radio transceiver, power supply and backup battery. Up to four keypads connect to the end station by standard alarm cable, allowing the end user to set and unset the system, and the installer to fully configure the control unit. The keypads also contain integral proximity tag readers, so that end users can control the system without having to remember access codes.
The control unit works with Cooper Security Ltd's 700 series 868MHz narrowband wireless peripherals. These include:
- Door contact/universal transmitter
- Passive infra red detector
- Smoke detector
- External siren
- Four button remote control
- Remote radio keypad
During programming the installer can set up the system as either a part setting system with full set and three part sets, or a partitioned system where each of the four partitions has full set and a single part set.
The i-on40 offers a wide range of communication options. Plug-on modules provide connection to either the telephone system (PSTN), the mobile phone network (GSM) or the internet via Ethernet or GPRS. In addition, the control unit provides a set of output pins which can be used to drive stand-alone communicators.
To make the installation and maintenance simple, the control unit also provides an Ethernet connector for attaching PCs or laptops. The control unit can be programmed using a standard web browser from an Ethernet connected laptop..
