Installing the IRIS Connect Dialler
Use the following procedure to install your IRIS Connect dialler:
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 cables 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 into place
using the release clips.
Secure the bottom part of the PCB using the 2 screws and washers supplied as shown in the image below:
Power
The IRIS Connect dialler can be powered from a separate or Aux 9-17V DC power supply specified to deliver up to 1A
current and can either use DC jack (centre positive polarity as shown below) or screw terminals indicated in
Section 5
“Board Configuration”
.
Note: For Radio & Telecoms Terminal 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.
Backup Batteries (optional)
IRIS Connect series has a battery backup capability and is 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 failure of the main power
source. The design provides over 15 hours battery support with 15 minute polling across either Wi-Fi or GPRS/3G.
Should the polling period be shortened or other activities such as alarm alerting by the panel, then the 15 hours
standby may be shortened.
IRIS Connect Solo:
If required please fit the batteries at this point.
IRIS Connect Duo using GPRS/3G communications:
If batteries are required DO NOT FIT until indicated in
Section 7.9 “Configuration”
.
Batteries must be approved to IEC61951-2 (EN61951-2).
The IRIS Connect requires 4 x 1.5V NiMh AA size rechargeable batteries (not included).
Recommended manufacturers/types are:
GP ReCyko 210AAHCB
Annsman maxE 2100
Note: Other battery types – including non-rechargeable batteries – must not be used.
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 is triggered at 6.5V DC, with a deep discharge protection of 4V DC.
Note: System standby life and battery life can be reduced if lower quality batteries are fitted, this is not
recommended.
