i-on30R Control Unit

Installation Instructions

The i-on30R control unit provides on-board support for up to 30 
radio zones. An additional 30 zones can be connected using radio 
or wired expanders.

When used in conjunction with compatible radio detectors, radio 
sirens and 2-way radio keypads, the i-on30R provides a reliable, 
easy-to-install, wire-free solution for domestic and commercial 
applications.

Key features

 

• Provides up to 30 “on-board” radio zones, and supports a total 

of 60 zones.

 

• Compatible with a wide variety of wire-free detectors including 

PIR sensors, smoke detectors, hold-up devices, perimeter 
sensors and door contacts.

 

• Supports up to 20 bus devices (keypads, expanders, etc.).

 

• Configurable through a keypad, web interface or Downloader.

 

• Ethernet port for optional use of email, network cameras, web 

interface, IP alarm communications and other features.

 

• Micro-SD card slot to enable storage of camera images and 

firmware/language upgrades.

 

• On-board connections for wired siren/strobe unit.

 

• Compatible with Eaton radio siren/strobe units.

 

• On-board outputs: one open-collector and 10 radio. System 

maximum of 30 outputs.

 

• Grade 2 compliant.

 

• Built-in IP communicator.

 

• Optional plug-on communicators available.

 

• Built-in radio transmitter, with a range of up to 500m.

 

• Engineer keypad port and mini-USB port for engineer access.

Safety Information

This product must be installed by qualified service personnel. 

WARNING: BEFORE INSTALLING THIS EQUIPMENT, ENSURE THAT 
THE MAINS SUPPLY FOR THE CONTROL UNIT IS DISCONNECTED 
AND ISOLATED. All electrical connections must be carried out by a 
qualified electrician and comply with current local regulations.

WARNING: When connected to the mains with power applied, 
mains voltages are present on the shrouded heads of the terminal 
screws of the mains connector (Figure 5).

WARNING: The mains cable to the control unit must use a double-
pole isolation device in accordance with EN 62368-1.

Caution: If you need to handle the PCB in the control unit, take 
standard precautions to prevent damage by static electricity.

Exposure to radio-frequency radiation: The radiated output power 
of this device is within those levels considered safe by European 
exposure limits. Nevertheless, when fitting the product, place it 
in such a manner as to minimise the potential for human contact 
during normal operation. To minimise exposure, users should be 
more than 200mm from the device during normal operation.

Installing the control unit

Step 1: Choose a location for the control unit

The control unit must be located:

 

• Within the protected area (but not in an entry or exit zone).

 

• Ideally, more than 2 metres from the floor.

 

• Out of sight of potential intruders.

 

• Upright (battery at the bottom) on a wall or other flat surface (to 

discourage tamper attempts from the rear).

Do not locate the control unit:

 

• In a metal enclosure or close to large metal structures.

 

• Near to any source of electromagnetic or radio interference.

 

• Within 1 metre of high-voltage cables, metal pipes, computers, 

photocopiers, or other electrical or electronic equipment.

 

• In a location where maximum radio range or cable distances 

will be exceeded. (Refer to Steps 2 and 4 below.)

Step 2: Carry out a radio survey

Carry out a radio survey using the DET-RSURV01 Radio Survey Tool 
to confirm that there will be sufficient signal strength between the 
planned location of the control unit and any radio devices.

Step 3: Check power availability

Check that the battery is able to power the system for at least 12 
hours during a mains failure, including two periods of 15 minutes 
in alarm. This is the minimum period for grade 2 compliance.

To do this, you will need to calculate the total current drawn from 
the battery during a mains failure. Please refer to the Engineering 
Guide for a worked example.

Step 4: Install cabling

Note the following (refer to the Engineering Guide for guidance):

 

• Normally, standard 7/0.2 un-screened alarm cable is suitable 

for wiring to bus devices (e.g. keypads) and wired siren/strobe 
units.

 

• Screened cable may be needed if the cable runs near to sources 

of electromagnetic interference. 

 

• Keep cables to bus devices separate from any other wiring.

 

• You can connect bus devices using a daisy-chain (serial) or star 

(parallel) configuration.

 

• Mains cable must be kept separate and routed away from the 

aerials (Figure 1).

 

• Cables must enter the control unit using the dedicated cable-

entry holes (Figure 4).

 

• The maximum length of the bus cable depends on a number of 

factors, including the number of devices powered by the bus 
and whether daisy-chain or star connections are used. Remote 
power supplies may be required.
