Introduction
The IRIS Connect range, consisting of the Solo and Duo models, offers a new concept in Alarm over IP (AoIP)
providing cost effective AoIP for the residential sector.
Both IRIS Connects are certified as suitable for all Grade 2 systems with an Alarm Transmission System (ATS)
configuration up to SP6 for single path (IRIS Connect Solo / Duo), or ATS configuration DP4 for dual path (IRIS
Connect Duo).
The IRIS Connect range is based on Chiron’s successful IRIS Connect range of AoIP diallers with the same hardware
and software used in all IRIS diallers; with the same level of security and features provided to military, governments,
banks and commercial industry but now also available to the residential sector.
The IRIS Connect Solo and Duo offers Wi-Fi as standard for configuration, polling and alerting, whereas the Duo also
offers a dual path system with GPRS/3G communications (4G and CDMA on request).
Using Chiron’s advances in hardware and software, the IRIS Connect is unique in providing battery backup for over
15 hours support in the case of main power source failure. This backup is provided with only 4 small NiMH AA
rechargeable batteries, which allow a longer replacement life and a smaller design.
Note 1: The 15 hours standby is based on 15 minute polling and recommended quality batteries. Performance may
be reduced with faster polling or other system loading.
Note 2: The IRIS Connect can be fitted without batteries and will
run as a standalone device without battery
backup.
