Check Software Version / Reflash
Go to the settings menu and then select “Latest software?” this will then check with the Chiron Reflash server if
there is a later version available.
If a later version is available the engineer will see the option to press the reflash button.
On first entry to the reflash option which could be during installation or maintenance, the engineer need to change
the password as required for EN50136-2 compliance. Please record the password on the installation documentation.
The reflash will take up to 15 minutes if via GPRS/3G and approximately 2 minutes with the Ethernet connection. Once
completed the dialler will reboot and switch to the new software. All configurations are saved and there is no need to
reconfigure the IRIS Connect dialler.
Communication Paths Checks
The engineers can test the communication paths for both polling and alarm communications using the ‘Connection
Test’ option in the Main Menu. This will direct engineers to connect the IRIS Connect Web browser interface via the
Wi-Fi network if they are not already connected and perform communication path checks for each path configured.
See
Section 8.4 “Test”
for more details.
Test Alarm Panel Alarms and Communication to ARC
Depending on the monitoring centre (ARC) engineers will now be required to perform alarm test and possibly other
tests to the ARC. Before the engineer leaves site get confirmation from the ARC that all is working correctly.
