1 Introduction

1.1 About this Manual

This manual is intended as a detailed guide for iRIS 200 / iRIS 320 installation, configuration and operation.

For a brief operational overview, see the separate iRIS 220 Installation Guide or iRIS 320 Installation Guide.

This manual is also available online in Adobe Acrobat® pdf format for registered users at www.iquest.co.nz

NOTE: The term “iRIS” is used throughout this manual in all instances where the reference is

equally applicable to either the iRIS 220 or the iRIS 320. When a particular section applies to only

one of the models, the full model reference will be used.

NOTE: The term “GPRS/CDMA-1X” is used throughout this manual to refer to the wireless modem

connectivity. However, the terminal menus or LCD screens on the iRIS itself will display the correct

designation for the particular model e.g. “GPRS” or CDMA-1X”.

1.2 Hardware (PCB) Revision

As from firmware version 2.19 / software version 1.19, this manual has been completely updated to refer to

the new version PCB (V1.2). This hardware revision has the following changes over its predecessor:

•Two additional analogue inputs added.

•Dedicated 5V reference output for energising potentiometer type sensors.

•Digital Output 1 changed to a switched 12V output instead of open-drain pull-down. An external

transistor switch is not required for powering sensors.

•SDI-12 interface has been upgraded to full compliance with the SDI-12 electrical standard and to

free up the digital I/O that were required for the SDI-12 function on the older hardware.

Legacy I/O and SDI-12 details referring to the older PCB revision can be found in Appendix D – Legacy PCB

(Rev 1.1) Details.

2 Overview

2.1 Introduction

The iRIS 220 and iRIS 320 (iQuest Remote Information Source) are two related products that share similar

electronic components and operate in much the same way. They have been designed as cost effective, low

power, self contained information sources for use in a wide range of data gathering and logging applications.

Both models achieve GPRS or CDMA network connectivity through the use of an integral wireless modem.

Depending on the application and target market, this modem will be one of the following:

•Dual-band 900MHz/1800MHz GSM/GPRS

•Single-band 1900MHz GSM/GPRS

•CDMA/CDMA-1X

This modem also supports the alternative GSM or CDMA connection options of CSD (Circuit Switched Data)

and SMS (Short Message Service). These options require the appropriate service to be enabled by the

wireless service provider.

The two units differ primarily in their available features and also the enclosure design. The following two

sections explain the key differences between the two models.

2.2 General Characteristics – iRIS 220

The iRIS 220 is supplied in a lightweight extruded aluminium enclosure finished in a resilient powder coating.

This enclosure provides mechanical strength and EMI shielding, and also enables easy mounting in a variety

of situations.

The iRIS 220 supports a maximum of six external sensors (1-6). Sources for these sensors may be chosen

from physical digital or analog inputs or virtual sources (via serial communication or internal calculations).

Each sensor has two associated alarms, each with separate trigger and reset levels. Each alarm also has a

duration, which is used to delay the alarm trigger for analog inputs and to determine the time over which

pulse input counters should be totalised (for rainfall etc).

Three additional sensors (7-9) are reserved for internal measurements (battery voltage, supply voltage and

logger temperature). Data from all enabled sensors are logged in a four word (8 byte) compressed format

which includes full date and time to fractions of a second.

2.3 General Characteristics – iRIS 320

The iRIS 320 is supplied in an environmentally sealed (IP65) 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 unit comes standard with an integral 12V gel-cell battery, membrane keypad and a 4 lines x 12

characters (plus icons) LCD.

The iRIS 320 supports a maximum of six external sensors (1-6). Sources for these sensors may be chosen

from physical digital or analog inputs or virtual sources (via serial communication or calculations). Each

sensor has two associated alarms, each with separate trigger and reset levels. Each alarm also has a

duration, which is used to delay the alarm trigger for analog inputs and to determine the time over which

pulse input counters should be totalised (rainfall etc).

Three additional sensors (7-9) are reserved for internal measurements (battery voltage, supply voltage and

temperature). Data from all enabled sensors are logged in a four word (8 byte) compressed format which

includes full date and time to fractions of a second.

The iRIS 320 supports SDI-12 communication with a range of industry standard intelligent sensors. Refer to

Appendix C – SDI-12 (iRIS 320 / 320V only) for more details on the SDI-12 interface.

A variant of the iRIS 320, designated the iRIS 320V offers voice annunciation of sensor values using the

voice bearer of the wireless service. See Appendix B – Voice Annunciation (iRIS 320V) for details on this

model.

The iRIS 320 (from PCB revision 1.2) is able to manage a serial camera, the iRIS-CAM (via a small adaptor

module). This enabled the iRIS to capture colour images which can be unloaded in the same way as logged

data. Due to resource limitations, the iRIS 320V is unable to support the iRIS-CAM in conjunction with the

voice feature.
