IRIS & IRIS FSD
OUTDOOR SELF POWERED
SIRENS
General characteristics
Τhe installation of the siren can be completed without applying power from the control
panel and remain so for a long time. It is activated by applying the supply voltage powered
from the control panel. This is particularly useful in cases of a building, which the siren is
placed first and the panel is powered after a long time.
• Five different alarm sounds (selectable) and different sound for fire alarm.
• Seven different operating modes of the five LEDs in standby mode of siren (selectable).
• Different activating inputs for alarm and for fire alarm.
• Activation of the siren can be made with the following triggering methods:
- by interrupting positive voltage (SSP) – by applying positive voltage
- by interrupting negative voltage – by applying negative voltage

General characteristics
IRIS / IRIS FSD - 2
• The siren sounds alarm if the wires connected to the control panel are shorted or cut or
when the voltage of the panel is below 8.0 V.
• The siren will follow the alarm duration of the control panel. However, in case of interruption of
voltage from the control panel, the maximum alarm duration of the siren is 15 minutes.
• The siren when starts operating will sound at low volume for 8 seconds and then the
intensity will turn to normal level (selectable).
• The siren will sound an alarm of up to 5 times in 24 hours. This time counts from the first
activation of the siren and the process is canceled just spend the 24 hours or if there is siren
power cut off for two seconds.
• Special circuit controls the voltage of the battery of the siren and the panel and activates
the “LB” (LOW BATTERY) output, if the battery voltage drops below 10.5 V.
• If the battery voltage is below 9.0 V, the siren stops sounding, but still the flash blinking.
• Integrated 3-G Sensor, with adjustable detection sensitivity. 3-G Sensor activates an alarm
when it detects violent blows or siren drilling effort, and when changing the inclination of
the siren more than 45 ° in any direction (Only in IRIS PLUS FSD).
• Built in TAMRER switch to protect the siren from the opening the outer casing and the
detachment from the wall.
• Built in foam detection sensor, to protect the siren from fire extinguisher foam,
polyurethane foam, etc.
• Integrated FLASH, with five high brightness and low consumption LEDs. These LEDs are
flashing in various programmable modes when the siren is at standby mode.
• The FLASH continues to operate for 30 minutes after the end of the alarm, for easier locating
of the area in alarm (selectable). This function is canceled when the panel is disarmed.
• The siren has short circuit protection of LEDs of the FLASH.
• Alarm verification output (“ALARM VER”) which is activated whenever the speaker sounds,
regardless of the reason activation. It is used to give an alarm command in the control panel
and report to the Monitoring Station.
• In any attempt of sabotage, the TAMRER switch and other protection systems of the siren
(foam detector, 3-G Sensor), except of the siren activation, activates and “ALARM TMP”
output. This output can be connected to the control panel to give an alarm and report to the
Monitoring station.
• The alarm duration from ΤΑΜΡΕR switch or 3-G Sensor or foam detector is 90 seconds,
and is independent of the alarm duration of the control panel.
• Through “TC” input, with a very intelligent, automated process you can isolate the TAMRER
switch, the 3-G Sensor and foam detector and then you can open the cover of the siren to
change the battery or make service, without the siren sound.
• “SIGN” Input, with selectable visual or audible confirmation of arming or disarming of the panel,
if used remote control. This input activates the flash or the speaker, or both.
Electronic level enables you to place the siren correctly. The indication of correct leveling is
provided by the flash LEDs (Only in IRIS PLUS FSD).
• Thermostat to prevent the destruction of the siren by torch (to be introduced very soon).
• Poly-carbonate external cover and galvanized internal cover for the siren protection.

Programming IRIS siren
The TAMPER of the siren, factory default activates both, siren and “AL” output. If you wish the siren
to be activated, only by the “AL” output, then cut the link “AL”. The “AL” output terminal of the siren
must be connected to an EOL zone of the alarm control panel. The EOL resistor must be connected
inside of the siren, in series with the cable, as shown in the wiring diagram (page 7).
All the other functions of the siren can be programmed via “MENU” button and “SELECT” button
which are on the siren board.
• Use the “MENU” button, to select the programming step you need. Each time you press
“MENU” button, you select different programming mode and this is indicated by lighting the
relative LED.
• Use the “SELECT” button to select the parameters of each sub “MENU”. Every time you press
“SELECT” button, you change a parameter. If you have missed the desired parameter just press
“SELECT” button, as many times it is needed to return to the parameter you need.

viewed and secure.
• Fix the base of the siren to the wall using the existing brackets.
Installation

Wiring Connections
IRIS / IRIS FSD - 7
• Connect the “12V” input, which is to power the siren and charge the battery, to the power
supply output of the alarm control panel. Beware to use correct polarity.
• Connect the “ΙΝ”, which is the alarm input of the siren to the relative output of the Control Panel
(“SSP” for Sigma Control Panels). This input follows the mode you select by the links “MODE
IN” and “+/- IN” (see page 4). If you do not cut any of the links “MODE IN” and “+/- IN”, the
input must be at + 12V to standby mode and becomes 0 in alarm (in Sigma’s alarm control
panels, the “IN” input is connected to the “SSP”).
• Pass the cable connecting the siren to the panel, from the hole which is at the base of the siren.
For maximum safety, prefer the passing of the cable in the inside of the siren to be directly
behind this hole.
NOTE: To power the siren from the alarm panel, you must, definitely, use wire with
diameter 0,5-0,75mm2.

IRIS / IRIS FSD - 8
• If, however, cut or shorted wires to connect the siren to the alarm control panel, the siren gives
alarm, maximum duration 15 minutes.
• In normal operation the siren follows the alarm duration of the alarm control panel. In case,
however,a cut or shorted wire to connect the siren to the alarm control panel, the siren gives
alarm, maximum durationof 15 minutes.
• “TC” input (Tamper Control input) is used to deactivate the siren’s Tamper, when you open the
cover of the siren for service, without given an alarm. Connect “TC” input to a “PGM” output of
the alarm control panel, which provides 12 V at standby mode and goes to 0 when the panel
arm (at Sigma alarm control panels connected to PGM1, type 27). The presence of 12V on this
input disables the Tamper of the siren for 10 minutes. For security reasons the siren’s Tamper
will be active 10 minutes after the application of voltage on “TC” input.
To openthe cover of the siren, follow the procedures below:
Disarm the panel (in the case of Sigma alarm control panels) or senda12V to the TC input.
You have ten minutes to open the cover without activating the siren, because these time the
Tamper of the siren is inactive. After opening, the time may to be keep open the siren is
unlimited.
When you completethe Service on the siren, close the cover. One minute from the time you will
close the cover, the siren returns to normal operation and the Tamper is active again.
• The “SIGN” input is used to signal audibly or visually the arming and disarming of the alarm
control panel, when remote control is used. It is activated for as long as there are +12 V at this
input. Connect this input to a PGM output of the alarm control panel, programmed accordingly.
In Sigma’s alarm control panels connected to PGM type 29.
• Connectsiren’s “AL” output to a 24 hours zone of the alarm control panel, as shown in the
above schematic. If you wish, except an alarm that will give siren in every attempt violation of
this, to give an alarm and the control panel.
For more safety, place the EOL resistor of this zone inside the box of the siren. The “AL” output
is at 0 at standby mode and is and turns to Open Collector, in case of violation (opening the
front cover or detaching of the siren from the wall).
• When you finish cable connections, connect the battery to thesiren. The siren can remain in this
condition until you finish theinstallation. The siren will start to operate normally only when
supplied with power from the alarm control panel.
• Insert the innercover and fasten it with four corresponding screws.
• Close siren’s external cover and fasten it with two corresponding screws.
