Introduction The Iris+ is a wireless personal attack system ideal for use in all types of nancial, industrial and commercial premises, where sta need the security of a personal attack alarm with total mobility. The use of the latest techniques in design with the extensive use of surface mount technology and microprocessors makes Iris+ a highly reliable, exible and user friendly system.

Checking background interference levels ‘Accessing the Access the Main Menu by following the operations listed under the previous engineering menus ’ section. The Iris+ should now be set up to Monitor Background Signals as their presence at a high level may e ect the performance of the system.
Using one or a combination of the above it should be possible to reduce the background carrier signal at the Iris+ receiver to an acceptable level. Should the above steps fail to suitably reduce interference, contact EMS Technical Support for more information.
Installation The Iris+ receiver consists of two sections, rstly the front casing which houses the receiver / processor PCB and secondly the rear casing which houses the external connection PCB. The installation of the Iris+ receiver requires the separation of the two sections and the xing of the rear back box section to the wall.

Post installation testing Having installed the Iris+ receiver and transmitters, re-test all transmitters from their xed positions. With the Iris+ key turned to the test position, tested transmitter’s unique identities will displayed on the screen, along with their signal strength readings. A typical screen shot is shown below.
Operating instructions Keyswitch TEST position; all transmitters or hard wired inputs programmed to the system are able to be tested. A full alarm / local transmission or hard wired input activation will be acknowledged on the LCD screen and the buzzer will sound for approximately 1 second. With the unit set to the factory preset, whilst in this key position none of the relays should be observed to change state upon receipt of a valid transmission or hard wired input activation.

Transmitter grouping Each of the transmitters programmed into Iris can be allocated to a transmitter group. These groups can then be assigned to make one or more relays operate. This will allow a wide variety of options to be set up where designated transmitters will operate speci c relays. The Menu structure for the Grouping Task is shown below.
