1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Basic Information

iRIS8 is an addressable fire alarm control panel for detection, indication and signalization in case of fire alarm situation
in the protected premises. The panel provides coverage of 200 zones and connection of 8 loop expander modules
(iRIS8 TTE Loop expander). An arbitrary number of devices can be added to each zone, thus ensuring the easy
adaptation of the system to any type of configuration. iRIS8 supports operation with Teletek Electronics communication
protocol.
Attention: Every iRIS8 TTE Loop provides up to 250 devices!
iRIS8 can operate as single panel or in a network with up to 64 panels, including IRIS/SIMPO Repeater, IRIS PRO and
SIMPO fire alarm panels. The connection in the network between the panels can be realised via LAN or RS485
communication protocol. Only one type of connection can be used in a single network.
The iRIS8 fire panel is equipped with back-up supply battery in case of main power supply failure. The built-in 3V pill
battery supports the uninterruptable operation of the real-time clock even in case of mains and back-up power supply
failure at the same time.
A TFT touch screen and LED indication provide information about the current system status and activated zones.
To avoid or significantly diminish problems when mounting the system, it must be carefully planned prior to installation.
This includes: establishing an address for every device and planning a name of maximum 40 digits (including the
spaces) for each address, thereby ensuring easy access to the device.
According to the acting standards for establishing fire systems and the plan of the building, the devices must be
grouped in zones.

1.2. Panel Versions

iRIS8 is available in two model versions in big and small metal box. The control PCB and the communication boards are
protected with metal cover with key-lock for limited access only from technical support engineers.
•
iRIS8 B - The panel is mounted in a big metal box secured with two key-locks. The full hardware configuration
of 8 loops is organized in the panel's box.
•
iRIS8 S - The panel is mounted in a small metal box secured with one key-lock. The full hardware configuration
of 8 loops is achieved with mounting of addition expansion panel iRIS8 Ext.
The metal boxes of iRIS8 S and iRIS8 Ext can be easily mounted to each other in a module structure with all hardware
connections hidden inside - see for details item 2.4.
The small metal boxes are also designed for built-in mounting in 25mm thick drywalls - see for details item 2.3.
