NOTE: The term “iRIS” is used throughout this manual in all instances where the reference is equally applicable to either the iRIS 220 or the iRIS 320. When a particular section applies to only one of the models, the full model reference will be used. -
Page 7: Overview
This enclosure provides mechanical strength and EMI shielding, and also enables easy mounting in a variety of situations. The iRIS 220 supports a maximum of six external sensors (1-6). Sources for these sensors may be chosen from physical digital or analog inputs or virtual sources (via serial communication or internal calculations). -
Page 8: General Characteristics - Iris 320
220 / iRIS 320, V1.19 User Guide - 6 2.3 General Characteristics – iRIS 320 The iRIS 320 is supplied in an environmentally sealed (IP65) enclosure constructed from a special corrosion- resistant aluminium alloy that is finished in a hard-anodised coating. This provides a very high degree of mechanical strength and EMI shielding, and enables completely stand-alone mounting in outdoor situations. -

Page 15: Installation
220 / iRIS 320, V1.19 User Guide 3 Installation 3.1 Removing/Replacing the Electronic Assembly - iRIS 220 The electronic assembly is retained in the case by two end plates and held in place by the two connectors (I/O and RS232). Follow this procedure to gain access to the printed circuit board (PCB) to change the SIM card on GSM models (see Section 3.3) or to change the digital input links (see Section 3.4.5). -
Page 16: I/O Connector
Upon installation, you will need to connect this battery as it is shipped disconnected to preserve battery life. It should also be disconnected if the unit is not going to be used for some time. NOTE: The iRIS 220 does not have an internal battery, so ignore all references to the internal battery for the iRIS 220 models. -
Page 17: Internal / External 12V Battery Supply
15 – 30Vdc, including a solar panel, without requiring an additional solar regulator. The battery charging circuitry utilises a switch mode regulator for maximum efficiency. The external power supply is protected against over-voltage by ultra-fast acting protection devices and a self-resetting semiconductor fuse. -
Page 18: Digital Inputs
To gain access to the jumpers, follow this procedure: iRIS 220. Remove the electronic assembly from the case. See Section 3.1 iRIS 320 / iRIS 320V. Unplug the green I/O connector and then undo the two hinge screws completely, so that the enclosure lid can be lifted off. -
Page 19: Digital Outputs
220 / iRIS 320, V1.19 User Guide 3.4.6 Digital Outputs The two digital outputs differ in their electrical configuration, although are identical in their logical operation. Digital Output 1 is open-drain pull-down and is capable of sinking up to 300mA at 30Vdc. An integral diode provides transient protection. -
Page 20: Antenna Connection
The iRIS can be supplied with an optional ground plane independent dipole antenna. iRIS 220 antenna connects to a female BNC connector that protrudes through the end of the case. iRIS 320 / iRIS 320V antenna is fitted through a compression gland in the bottom of the case. -
