Maintenance
There is generally no requirement for any onsite maintenance on the IRIS-4 product range, except those that
contain batteries, where the battery status should be checked yearly (see below). However, all the
procedures described below are advisable.
10.1
Checking for faults
Check that the SYS LED is steady and not indicating a fault - see chapter 3 “Circuit board layouts” for the SYS
LED status indications. If the SYS LED indicates that there is a fault, then further information can be obtained
from the touchscreen as described in section 9.1. “Trouble Report”. Identify and correct the fault.
Communications tests can be carried out as described in section 9.2 “Test”.
10.2
Checking battery status
The terminal will report battery problems via the fault reporting as above. This will indicate batteries should
be replaced or the charge is low.
10.3
Upgrading software
Upgrade the software in the terminal if there is a later version available. The availability of updated software
can be found by running the Installation Wizard up to “Checking S/W Version”. The software can be updated
at this point if required by clicking on <<Reflash Now>>.
10.4
End to end tests
Carry out end-to-end alarm tests from the alarm panel to the ARC to check that the complete system is
operational.
If the terminal is using multiple paths, check that alarm transmission is still operational when just one path is
connected. Repeat the test for each path. Note that a cellular path fault can be simulated as described in
section 9.2.2 “Disable Cellular”.
