The iRIS 270 is the perfect marriage of the proven iRIS design legacy with a future-proof architecture. It is compact, cost
effective, ruggedized, IP-capable and easily configured - and due to its dual telemetry slots the iRIS 270 extends the
telemetry options and the range of pluggable devices.
General Characteristics
The iRIS 270 is supplied in an environmentally sealed (IP67) 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 iRIS 270 supports a maximum of fifty external sensors (1-50). Sources for these sensors may be chosen from physical
digital or analogue inputs or virtual sources (via serial communication or calculations).
Sources may also be from internal measurements (battery voltage, supply voltage, temperature and RSSI). Each sensor
has six associated alarms, each with separate trigger and reset levels. Each alarm also has a duration, which is used to
delay the alarm trigger for analogue inputs and to determine the time over which pulse input counters should be
totalised (rainfall etc.).
Data from all enabled sensors are logged format which includes full date and time stamp to a 1 second resolution. The iRIS
270 supports SDI-12 communication with a range of industry standard intelligent sensors.
