Before starting to work, you have to check the functioning and integrity of the system. § Check for visible defects on the iRIS 350FX, 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.
12 V gel-cell battery, membrane keypad and a 4 lines × 19 characters (plus icons) LCD. The iRIS 350FX supports a maximum of twenty external sensors (1 - 20). Sources for these sensors may be chosen from physical digital or analogue inputs or virtual sources (via serial communication or calculations).
Throughout this document, small icons are used to identify additional information. These are as follows: Note Indicates extra detail to expand the current discussion. Warning Describes something that may cause problems if not heeded. Note: The term “iRIS” is used throughout this manual in all references to the iRIS 350FX datalogger.

In previous models (350 / 350X) nearly all the configuration was also done using the terminal. This has been removed because of the increased features of the FX and data unloading is done using the HyQuest Solutions logger support application, iLink 2012.
The iRIS has a non-volatile real time clock that can be read and / or synchronised using HydroTel™ or iLink 2012. The iRIS 350FX differs from its predecessors in that the internal clock runs in UTC (GMT) and all logged data is time/date stamped in this time zone.

The function of each I/O termination is shown in the diagram below. iRIS 350FX units fitted with a PCB revision V1.2+ have an 18-way connector compared to the 16-way connector on earlier units. The two additional terminals provide an extra GND connection and the 1-wire bus expansion port.
The generic examples on the following pages are included to give a basic overview of how to connect standard, common instrument types to the iRIS and configure it to suit them. For more detailed or specialised examples, please refer to the Application Notes section on the HyQuest Solutions website. This chapter contains the following subsections: §...
AC signal in the order of millivolts. In these cases a simple transistor switch to create a suitable pulse must be included. Please contact HyQuest Solutions for details. Only DIO1 and DIO2 can be used with frequency sources such as Anemometers.
Enter the sub-folder path (if required) on the FTP server. 3.3.3.6 Modbus Mode The iRIS 350FX would operate in either the Modbus RTU mode or the Modbus ASCII mode. Choose the appropriate one from the list. Address Enter the iRIS’s MODBUS slave address in this field.
3.3.12 Lookup Tables The iRIS 350FX supports two lookup tables for use in calculating derived data using the scaled value from either Sensor 1 or Sensor 2 respectively as a source. The table file format is identical to that used by HydroTel™. The lookup table must be contained in a text file with a extension.

Automated Upgrade Procedure (Software/Firmware) § iRIS Manual Upgrade Procedure (Software / Firmware) § Converting iRIS 350X to an iRIS 350FX 3.6.1 Overview This section describes the procedure to use when upgrading the firmware / software components in an iRIS.
3.6.3 iRIS Automated Upgrade Procedure (Software/Firmware) iLink 2012 has an automated firmware / software upgrade tool that supports the iRIS 350FX. This tool includes several checks to confirm the validity of the components being installed. The automated upgrade tool can do both the firmware and software upgrades in one process, saving considerable time and effort.
Click [YES] to continue with the Upgrade process. You will be able to see the progress of the upgrade on the status bar. After a successful upgrade, a message will pop up - "The process to upgrade your device to an iRIS 350FX is now complete.

Now you have got an iRIS 350FX. Any other issues When you upgrade an iRIS 350 or iRIS 350X to an iRIS 350FX, you will be able to monitor the process by checking the messages displayed on the status bar. The messages are as given below.
Using Modbus Slave Mode The Modbus protocol slave mode support is a feature supported by the standard iRIS 350FX program variants. Custom variants do not have support for this feature as the RS232 port is often used by these in a different way.
Configuration The iRIS 350FX operates in Modbus RTU mode (Modbus ASCII mode will be added at a later date). Supported port speeds are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 and 115200bps. Parity in RTU mode is settable to Even, Odd or None. In compliance with the Modbus specification, when parity is set to ‘None’, an extra stop bit is inserted.

When an external RS232 communication device is connected, the iRIS is also capable of doing “store and forward” or “gateway” communications. This feature allows data packets that are not addressed to this logger to be redirected to other HyQuest Solutions devices. This chapter describes using the RS232 Telemetry function and also explains the gateway communications functionality.

Voice Annunciation (iRIS 350FXV) The iRIS 350FX can be supplied with a voice annunciation feature. In this case it is then allocated the designation, iRIS 350FXV. Typically the voice annunciation feature is used to play back the current values of all enabled sensors when the unit is called up from a telephone.
8.5.1 Overview The iRIS-CAM is a camera accessory for the iRIS 350FX datalogger. It is supplied in an environmentally sealed (IP66) 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.
The following list of steps will install the iRIS-CAM commissioning software and the Windows® USB drivers for the iRIS- CAM adaptor. 1. Obtain the installation package from HyQuest Solutions. Note: Software can be obtained from CD or the HyQuest Solutions website: www.hyquestsolutions.co.nz 2. For the CD distribution: §...
This is the file with the identifier “Camera” instead of the standard variant which has the identifier “Std”. e.g. iRIS350FX_CellSierra_Camera_zzz_3.350fx is the correct version for camera support on a Sierra cellular version of the iRIS 350FX. 8.5.8.2 Configure the Camera on the iRIS As with a standard iRIS data logger all configuration is achieved through iLink 2012 configuration menus.
