Routine Maintenance
iRIS8 S and iRIS8 B control panels do not require any specific maintenance. To clean the panel’s surface, use a dry
cloth. Detergents or solvents should not be used to clean the panel and care must be taken that water does not enter
the enclosure.
The control panels contain sealed lead acid batteries (12V/18Ah) to provide standby power in the event of mains failure.
This battery has a life expectancy of around 4 years. It is recommended that this battery be annually tested in
accordance with the battery manufacturer’s recommendations to determine its suitability for continued standby
applications.
Routine testing of the fire alarm system in accordance with EN54-14 will identify any malfunction of the control panel
and any malfunction should be reported to the fire alarm maintenance company immediately.
Detection devices are automatically calibrated on a daily basis and any devices that fail the detector manufacturer
requirements will be notified as a maintenance fault. The contamination status menu is also useful in determining
detection devices that are approaching their working range limits.
Care of the TFT Screen
iRIS8 is equipped with TFT control screen, presenting clear view and user-friendly interface for operation. It is
recommended to use touch pen to avoid damage and contamination of the sensitive TFT screen during operation.
Do not use sharp instruments for pressing the screen, like screwdrivers, tweezers or pliers, because they can scratch or
break the plastic surface of the screen and the panel to become not operational!
Attention: The enclosure box is not waterproofed! Clean the metal surface with a dry cloth only, and the TFT screen
with cleaning sprays or foams containing no solvents (alcohol, acetone, ammonia, etc.).
