i-on10 Control Unit

Installation Instructions

The i-on10 is a 10-zone grade-2-compliant control unit. The i-on10 
provides a reliable, easy-to-install, wired solution for domestic and 
small commercial applications.

Key features

 

• Supports up to 10 wired zones, all provided on-board.

 

• Compatible with a range of wired detectors, including PIR sensors 

and door contacts.

 

• Supports up to four keypads connected to the system bus. 

 

• Grade 2 compliant.

 

• Support for one full-set level and up to three part-set levels.

 

• Configurable through a keypad.

 

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

 

• On-board open-collector output to operate an external auxiliary 

device.

 

• Plug-by communicator port with 8 outputs to communicate with 

an alarms-receiving centre (requires MISC-COMPACK12 and a 
suitable standalone communicator, such as 0840UK-21). 

 

• Metal case, fitted with a 1A power supply and space for a 12Vdc 

7Ah backup battery.

 

• Back and lid tamper switches.

 

• Support for up to 10 users.

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 4).

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

WARNING: Good practice requires that documentation is not stored 
within the enclosure.

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

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).

 

• 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).

Step 2: Check standby battery capacity

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 

i-on10 

Configuration Guide for worked examples.

Step 3: Install cabling

Note the following (refer to the 

i-on10 Configuration Guide for 

guidance):

 

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

wiring to keypads and wired siren/strobe units.

 

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

of electromagnetic interference. 

 

• Keep cables to keypads separate from any other wiring.

 

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

(parallel) configuration.

 

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

holes (Figure 1).

 

• The maximum length of the cable to keypads depends on a 

number of factors, including the number of keypads and whether 
daisy-chain or star connections are used.

Step 4: Remove the lid of the control unit

Release the two screws on the front of the lid, then lift it off.

Step 5: Mount the control unit

Mount the control unit in the orientation shown in Figure 1 using the 
three fixing holes and minimum 40mm long No8 (4mm) screws. Use 
only the designated cable-entry holes.
