3.4 I/O Connector

All I/O and power supply terminations are via 5mm (0.2”) screw terminals provided on a 16-way pluggable connector. The older (V1.1) PCB has a 12 way connector - see Appendix D – Legacy PCB (Rev 1.1) Details. The I/O connector is positioned on the right hand side of the iRIS 320 circuit board, directly above the white battery connector. On the iRIS 220, the connector protrudes through the top of the case.

The function of each I/O termination is shown in the diagram below.

3.4.1 Internal Battery (iRIS 320 / iRIS 320V only)

The iRIS 320 / iRIS 320V are supplied with an internal rechargeable 12V 0.8A/Hr sealed lead-acid battery. Upon installation, you will need to connect this battery as it is shipped disconnected to preserve battery life. It should also be disconnected if the unit is not going to be used for some time.

NOTE: The iRIS 220 does not have an internal battery, so ignore all references to the internal battery for the iRIS 220 models.

For maximum flexibility, the iRIS I/O connector has two terminals provided for additional 12V power supply flexibility. These terminals (marked 12V+ and GND) can either be used to deliver 12V from the internal battery out to power an external sensor or other small load, or alternatively be connected to an external 12V battery (for greater battery capacity) or a 12V d.c battery charger type power supply. See the next two sections on using the 12V terminals and the external (charger) power supply feature.

WARNING! iRIS 320 / iRIS 320V INTERNAL BATTERY

The +12V and GND terminals of the I/O connector are effectively connected directly in parallel with the internal 12V battery. A resettable semiconductor fuse is fitted for short-circuit protection.

However, only connect 12V lead-acid batteries or a regulated d.c power supply that is designed for charging a 12V lead-acid battery, to these terminals.

Applying a voltage higher than 14.5V for a sustained period to these terminals will permanently damage the internal battery and may cause an acid leak and/or an explosion.
