Introduction
System Overview
i-on160EX is the control unit for a hybrid wired/wirefree alarm system intended
for commercial use. One i-on160EX control unit can operate up to 160 zones
by using expanders communicating over a single bus cable. Different types of
expander allow either wired or wirefree detectors in the same system. The
single bus cable also allows the installer to connect keypads, output modules
or extra power supplies wherever they are needed.
System Design
The i-on160EX is designed to support a wide range of alarm system sizes. The
control unit printed circuit board (pcb) itself provides ten zones and four
outputs. To increase the size of the alarm system the Installer can connect
expanders and keypads to a single “bus” which carries all the data between the
control unit and its peripherals.
The control unit pcb provides connections only for wired zones and outputs.
Expanders provide connections to either extra wired zones and outputs, or
radio detectors and radio outputs. Both wired and radio devices can exist in
the same alarm system.
The Control Unit
Case
A coated steel case houses the control unit’s pcb, power supply and backup
batteries. The case is designed for vertical mounting on a wall, and provides
three fixing points. The case can be butted up to side walls or a ceiling without
blocking the opening or closing of its lid. The case lid is fixed by a single screw,
and can be hung from the case back when open. The back of the case provides
pre-cut holes for cable access, and stands 14mm off from the mounting
surface to allow trunking to pass behind.
As well as the pcb, the case provides room for two 17Ah backup batteries.
Cooper Security provide securing clamps for each battery with the case.
Back tamper/Lid tamper. The back of the case provides a plastic shrouded
slot through which the Installer can fit the combined back tamper/lid tamper
switch. This switch is mounted on a metal blade that slides through the slot
and touches the mounting surface. Once fitted and connected to the pcb,
removing the lid or prising the case from the wall activates the switch.
Printed Circuit Board
All of the control unit functions and connectors are provided by a single pcb. A
plastic pcb carrier holds the pcb within the case.
Bus Connections
The control unit provides connectors for one four-wire bus cable. All keypads,
expanders and other equipment connect to the same bus. The cable can be run
as one single line, or as a three or four armed star branched at the control
unit. See i-on160EX Installation Guide for details of bus configuration,
maximum bus length and cabling type.
