    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.
  • Page 7: Part I Introduction

    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).

    The iRIS also maintains a global “alarms active” flag that is set if any alarm on any sensor in the device is active. This is used to trigger a call-in or data transfer to the designated host. As well as the call-in, this flag can also control the digital outputs or trigger a camera image for the iRIS-CAM variant. © 2023 HyQuest Solutions...
  • Page 12: Real Time Clock

    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.

    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.
  • Page 92: Gateway Communication

    The iRIS supports a powerful communication function - gateway, or redirected communications. Simply put, this allows an iRIS to transfer packets of data between ports, totally in the background without any programming required (beyond setting up the gateway offset.) Uses include: § Radio comms repeater function § IP to radio bridging © 2023 HyQuest Solutions...
