    Before starting to work, you have to check the functioning and integrity of the system. § Check for visible defects on the iRIS 270, this may or may not include any or all of the following mounting facilities, connectors and connections, mechanical parts, internal or external communication devices, power supplies or power supply lines, etc.

  • Page 7: Part I Introduction

    The iRIS 270 is the perfect marriage of the proven iRIS design legacy with a future-proof architecture. It is compact, cost effective, ruggedized, IP-capable and easily configured - and due to its dual telemetry slots the iRIS 270 extends the telemetry options and the range of pluggable devices.

    The “debounce” is enabled by a jumper link, which if fitted enables a longer time constant circuit to eliminate multiple pulses caused by contact bounce. The debounce jumpers are positioned in the centre of the PCB. The picture below shows the links in their default positions. Figure 7 – Digital Input Debounce Links © 2022 HyQuest Solutions...
  • Page 17 However, in the event that connecting an iRIS does cause pulse failure, HyQuest Solutions recommend removing the debounce selection link for the appropriate input. This sets the input to electronic switching mode, even if the actual pulse source is a clean contact (reed switch or similar).
