Fire Panel IRIS - Installation Manual 3
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Description
IRIS is an analogue addressable fire panel with maximum coverage of 96 zones, with 1 or 2 loops and 198
(99 detectors and 99 modules) devices per loop. The panel maintains a System Sensor series 200 protocol.
An arbitrary number of devices can be added to each zone thus ensuring the easy adaptation of the system
to any type of configuration.
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.
Every loop provides for 99 (1-99) detectors and 99 (1-99) modules.

1.2 General Specifications
The front panel consists of a graphic LCD display (dimensions 240x320) with a built-in touch screen and a
light-emitting diode indication. Separate operator and engineer passwords provide access to the functions of
the panel. The internal space of the box is protected with the help of secret screws.
One or two loop expanders can be supplemented to the mother board. Each one can control up to 198 ad-
dressable devices (99 modules and 99 detectors). In a configuration with two loops, the panel covers 396 ad-
dressable devices. The system can be expanded by connecting several fire panels IRIS to the Ethernet,
using TCP/IP for communication between them.
The panel has a built-in real time clock and calendar, allowing day and night time modes of work.
Switching over between the two modes can be automatic or manual. Events like FIRE, RESET, fault, etc.,
are saved in the memory, thereby creating an event log-file. It contains the time and date, the address of the
device, the type (module or detector), the name of the device, the zone, the name of the zone, etc.
