1. Introduction The i-on16 is a wireless intruder alarm system intended mainly for use in domestic and small commercial properties. The heart of the i-on16 system is the control unit and its keypad. The control unit contains the main wireless receiver, the power supply and stand-by battery. The stand-by battery can keep the alarm system going for up to 12 hours if the mains supply fails. Connected to the control unit by cable is a keypad.

Introduction To draw your attention to special events the rim of the navigation key glows red. The four LEDs on the right of the programming keys show you that the system is set or unset. The left hand LED glows when the system is full set, the second from left glows when the system is part set. Note that the installer can disable these LEDs in order to hide the state of the system. (The two right hand LEDs are never used.) Controls: A Full sets the system. (All detectors in use.
2. Everyday Operation Everyday operation involves setting and unsetting the alarm system and occasionally dealing with alarms. If you need to know how to set up new users, or change the way the system operates then please read the “Administration” section. Access to the System To operate the system a user must identify themselves, either by entering an access code on the keypad or by presenting a proximity tag to the front of the keypad.
Everyday Operation Setting Note: Whenever you set the system you should first make sure that all doors and windows are secure. Full Set When the system is full set, all the detectors intended to detect intruders are primed, ready to raise an alarm. (If you want to protect just part of your premises use “part set”, see page 8 .) Make sure the system is idle. 1. EITHER: Key in your access code. OR Present a proximity tag to the keypad.
Everyday Operation At the end of the exit time the exit warning tone stops and you should hear a double “beep” confirmation tone to let you know that the system is set. The display shows the message "System Set" for a few seconds, followed by the standby screen. The LED marked “A” glows to show that the system is full set. System Set Notes: a) If you decide you want to stop setting then press . b) Your system may be programmed to set silently. If so, there will be no exit warning tone as the system sets.
Everyday Operation Quick Set Quick Setting does not require the use of an access code or tag. (The Installer must enable this facility for you.) Make sure the system is idle. 1. Press A. The keypad gives the exit warning tone. 2. Setting:Full Set 10 to set Leave by the exit door and make sure it is closed properly. At the end of the exit time the display shows the message "System Set" for a few seconds. System set While the system is set the display shows the standby screen.
Everyday Operation If the System Will Not Set Normally, the system will set only when all the detectors are “quiet”, that is: not reporting any activity. (This does not apply to those detectors on your exit door or exit/entry route. The system expects these detectors to be active as you leave the protected area.) If you try to set when one or more detectors are still active then the display shows the words “SETTING FAULTS” and which zones are active.
Everyday Operation Setting With a Remote control Note: You must program the control unit to recognise ("learn") a remote control, see page 23. Secure all your windows and doors. Make sure the system is idle, and that you can hear the warning tones from the keypad. 1. On the remote control, either press A (full set) or B (part set), see page 20. The keypad sounds the exit warning tone. 2. Leave by the exit door and make sure it is closed properly (if you have not already done so).
Everyday Operation Unsetting When unsetting the system do not stray from the entry route designated by the installer. If you do then you will cause an alarm. 1. Enter by the designated entry door. The control unit starts the entry tone. 2. EITHER Key in your access code. OR Present a prox tag to the keypad. The system unsets. The display shows: System Unset Followed by the standby screen. Unsetting With a Remote control 1. Enter by the designated entry door. 2. Press on your remote control.
3. Alarms Types of Alarm The i-on16 normally starts an alarm when it receives an alarm signal from one of its detectors. In addition, you can start a panic alarm from the keypad. The table below shows the different kinds of alarms possible. Type of Alarm Intruder Signal (see note) Started by: Loud warbling tone from siren. Normal alarm or entry route zone activated when system is set. Fire Repeated “Dee Dah” from siren. Fire zone activated at any time.
Alarms Silencing an Alarm In an alarm the i-on16 operates the siren. The siren runs for a limited time set by the installer (a maximum 15 minutes for intruder and PA alarms). If you return to the control unit after the siren has stopped and key in your access code then the red LEDs around the navigation keys glow to tell you that an alarm has occurred. Press > to see information about the alarm. (Press u or n to see the name of the zone.) Press Y to restore the display to normal.
4. Alerts (or Why is it Beeping?) From time to time the control unit may detect that there is a problem with the system. It will try to inform you of this by starting an alert. During an alert the rim of the navigation pad glows red, and the keypad will give an short “beep” every few seconds. To see the cause of the alert: 1. Make sure the system is unset and that the keypad display shows the standby screen. 2. Press Y . The display asks you to key in an access code. 3. Key in a user access code.
5. Administration To make changes to the way your system works you must enter the Menu. Your degree of access to the Menu depends on what type of user you are: Admin User or Normal User. An Admin User has access to all the options of the Menu. A Normal User: Can change their own access code. Cannot add or delete other users. Can turn the Chime feature on or off. Entering the Menu 1. Make sure the display shows the standby screen. 2. Press 3. Key in an access code. .
Administration Omit Zones You may wish to prevent a zone causing an alarm. For example, if your garage door is protected by a detector, but you wish to leave it unlocked for the delivery of a parcel, you may wish to omit that detector when you set the rest of the alarm system. To do this the control unit allows you to "Omit" a zone. 1. Enter the Menu and select Omit Zones. The bottom line of the display shows the first of a list of zones. 2. Press u or n to display the zone you wish to omit. 3.
