Digital Input/Output
  • 1 digital I/O channel, 1 digital output channel, 2 digital input channels
  • Inputs: clean contact to 0 V or 3.6-12 V DC referenced to GND
  • Outputs: switched 12 V or open-drain sinking to 0 V, both limited to 100 mA
Analogue Input/Output
  • 2 analogue inputs: uni-polar, 16 bit resolution, 30 V DC surge-protection
  • Input ranges: 0-0.1 V, 0-2.5 V, 0-5 V, 0-30 V
  • Internal 100 Ω sink resistors allow use of input current (0/4-20mA).
  • 1 analogue (excitation) output for energizing passive instruments (e.g. potentiometer type wind vanes) or alternatively for sending a derived analogue signal to other equipment, selectable as 0-5 V or 4-20 mA
Communications
  • Dual telemetry slots for wireless 4G/3G modem, ethernet, RS232/RS485
  • Non-isolated 2-wire half-duplex RS232/RS485 sensor port
  • SDI12 instrumentation port (two terminals), complies with SDI12 V1.3
  • Wi-Fi
Power Supply
  • External 12 V SLA or 11.1 V Li-Ion battery, integral charger 10-30 V DC input, optional: solar panel
  • Lowest power mode current 7 mA
  • Over voltage and reverse polarity protected with self-resetting fuse
  • Voltage of battery and charger input: monitored, logged, displayed, alarmed
  • Vin cable length max. 3 m
Data Storage: Flash Memory
  • Total 32 MB, of which 16 MB allocated to logged data/stored images (1,398,101 samples)
  • Typical autonomy: 2 parameters logged every 15 minutes and battery voltage logged hourly will give almost 10 years of storage.
Status LEDs
  • 1 LED for overall operational state
  • 3 LEDs for status of communication devices (comms1, comms2, Wi-Fi)
Real-time Clock
  •  High accuracy, backed by on-board lithium battery to prevent loss of date/time
Environmental Conditions
  • Enclosure: IP66, die-cast aluminium alloy, hard grey paint finish, neoprene gasket
  • Operating temperature: -40 ˚C to +70 ˚C (-40 ˚F to +158 ˚F)
  • Storage temperature: -40 ˚C to +85 ˚C (-40 ˚F to +185 ˚F)

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.
The dual telemetry slots support wireless 4G/3G modem, ethernet, and RS232/RS485. They can be used to provide for communication redundancy: for example two cellular modules each with a different SIM card from independent ISP providers or a communications device connected via RS232/RS485.
The iRIS 270’s WiFi hotspot enables access to the device wirelessly using HyQuest Solutions' free-of-charge iLink software (Windows). With a max. range of 80 m in clear line of sight (and a strong signal from the connected device), the user can edit settings while reading the staff gauge on the riverbank, doing a stream flow gauging, or sitting in his car in rainy conditions. iLink helps configuring the logger, checking settings and calibrations for QA/ QC, performing real-time diagnostics to resolve technical issues, and downloading data. The optional HydroTel™ software can be used for remote configuration and data downloading.
