All IRIS Touch diallers are certified as suitable for all Grade 3 systems with an Alarm Transmission System (ATS) configuration up to SP6 for single path, or ATS configuration DP4 for dual path (IRIS Touch 240NG only). The IRIS Touch is based on Chiron’s successful IRIS Touch range of AoIP diallers with the same hardware and...
The IRIS system is unique in its ability for the polling frequency to be varied which means that the polling profile can be adjusted as necessary to take into account the grade of security required and the traffic bandwidth available.
GPRS/3G SIM Card and Access Point Name If the installation uses GPRS/3G then a SIM card will be required. The IRIS Touch will also need to be given a GPRS/3G ‘Access Point Name’ (APN) and other possible configurations as shown below. These can be obtained from the SIM card provider.
‘knockouts’, and secure the plate to the wall with the three screws supplied. Power The IRIS Touch dialler can be powered from a separate or Aux 9-28V DC power supply specified to deliver up to 1A current using the screw terminals indicated in Section 5 “Board...

IRIS Secure Apps software to receive alarm notifications. Pin Inputs The IRIS Touch dialler has 4 pin inputs that can be used to generate alarm messages. These can be: Text messages via SMS (GPRS/3G).

(CSQ) of 10 or more. If the signal strength is below or close to minimum then try to reposition the antenna/IRIS Touch dialler in a different location or you can use an external building or high gain antenna (if necessary), and rerun the network scan to check signal strength.

Panel configuration for dial capture If you are connecting the IRIS Touch dialler via the dial capture method which is connecting the Telecoms module to the dial port of the IRIS Touch, you will need to configure the following options:...

Check to see if this test alarm has been received by the monitoring centre (ARC). Note: If you are required to default the IRIS Touch dialler and start again you can do this by setting the primary IP address within the Galaxy menu 56.04.02.02 to an IP address of 127.0.0.1.
Monitor Dial Port Sets the IRIS Touch unit to monitor the dial port using the 18K resistor (as supplied in box) being fitted across the A & B terminal of the 2-wire analogue interface (telecoms module), and reports any status change back to the monitoring centre (ARC).

Next you will be asked to enter in the ARC (Alarm Receiving Centre) IP address for the monitoring centre. This can be obtained from the monitoring centre and would normally be the external IP address for their IRIS Secure Apps system.

Checking Software Version Note: If using an IRIS Touch 400NG or 440NG with GPRS/3G and no Ethernet selected then this check will be done after the GPRS/3G settings. The IRIS Touch dialler will now check with Chiron’s global reflash server to see if a new version is available.

A standard roaming SIM will always attach to the preferred provider even if this has the weakest signal. Enabling this option forces the GPRS/3G attachment to connect to the strongest signal identified by the IRIS dialler. This allows the IRIS Touch dialler to be even more resilient with the GPRS/3G networks when using roaming SIM. IRIS Touch Engineering Manual Version 1.5...

Enable Ringtone This feature is to allow the user to enable or disable the IRIS unit simulating the PSTN ring tone to the dial port while the connection is being made. In most case this can be left as the default setting but if you are having issues with alarms or remote service app connection (Upload/download), then you can try turning this off.

Serial Port RS485 Galaxy Set the RS485 bus for Honeywell Galaxy mode where the IRIS Touch will simulate one of 3 external modules in the following order (Ethernet, External Telecoms, and External RS232). ProSYS Set the RS485 bus for the Risco ProSYS bus to allow Upload/Download connections but not alarms, the panel alarm will need to be either on the dial port, or pin inputs.

Relay SMS activation (IRIS Touch 200NG or 240NG) The IRIS Touch dialler allows each relay to be activated or deactivated by a predefined SMS message from a mobile phone. Phone no Sets which calling device (mobile phone) is allowed to control the relay with the relevant SMS message. This is done by using the Calling line number (CLI) on the SMS and comparing this with the number entered.
