6.1. Mounting
Choose a suitable location, taking into consideration
the routing of both power and dialler interface cables .
To remove the cover push the two release prongs on
the underside of the plastic case as indicated on the
back of the case .
Once released, lift the lid slightly and push up until
lid comes off, remove the dialler PCB (retained by
two clips to left and right off the board) . Position the
housing on the wall and drill three holes . Feed the ca-
bles through the opening at the base of the plate, or
via the ‘knockouts’, and secure the plate to the wall
with the three screws supplied .
Slide the PCB back into the top retainers and within
the side pillar and then gently secure the dialler back
in place using the release clips .
Now secure the bottom part of the PCB using the 2
screws and washers supplied as shown in the image
below, to comply with EN 50131-1:2006+A2:2017:

6.2. Power
Power using a 9-17V DC power supply specified to
deliver a minimum of 1A current, and can use either
screw terminals or TTL header indicated in Section 4
“Board Configuration” .
Note: For Radio Equipment Directive compliance,
the power cable must be no longer than 3 meters
in length.
Fit the power cable . DO NOT APPLY POWER TO
THE DIALLER UNTIL INDICATED .
6.3. Backup Batteries (optional)
Designed to continue reporting to the IRIS Secure
Apps System at the Monitoring Centre to maintain
confidence of link status in the case of a main power
source failure . The design provides over 15 hours
battery support with 15 minute polling across either
Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 4G/3G/2G .
Note: Battery support could be shorter than the 15
hours if the polling period is shortened or other
activities such as alarm alerting by the panel at
regular intervals.
If batteries are required, DO NOT FIT until indicated
in Section 6 .9 “Configuration” .
Use Batteries approved to IEC61951-2 (EN 61951-2) .
The IRIS-4 160 requires 4 x 1 .5V NiMh AA size
rechargeable batteries (not included) .
Recommended manufacturers/types are:
• GP ReCyko 210AAHCB
• Annsman maxE 2100
Note: Do not use other battery types – including
non-rechargeable batteries.
The required battery capacity is 2000mAH minimum
and ideally they should feature low self-discharge .
Maximum time to recharge to 80% = 32 Hours .
Overvoltage protection triggered at 6 .5V DC, with a
deep discharge protection of 4V DC .
Note: Reduced system standby life and battery life
if lower quality batteries fitted, not recommended.
6.4. Connections
Connect cables to the PCB for the system as shown
on in Section 4 “Board Configuration”:
• Ethernet enabled systems: Connect the ‘ETH’
connector using the Ethernet cable to the local
IP router/switch or socket that allocated for the
LAN/WAN network IP connection .
• Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi (wireless) 2.4GHz b/g/n internal
PCB chip antenna .
• 4G/3G/2G enabled systems: 4G/3G/2G antenna
already fitted to board .
• Dial capture port (optional and for more
information see section below) .
• 4 x Pin inputs (optional for more information
see section below) .
Optional Serial Connection
The following three connections to alarm panel are
available .
• RS485 currently available for Honeywell Galaxy
data bus (Alarms and Upload/download) or
Risco ProSys bus (Upload/download) connec-
tions (optional) .
• Serial (TTL) currently available for Texecom
Com1 connections (optional) .
• RS232 screw terminal (optional).
Note 1: For Radio Equipment Directive compliance,
any interconnecting cable (Dial capture, Pin inputs
or Serial connection) must be no longer than 3
meters in length.
Note 2: Please refer to the IRIS-4 160 Engineering
