10. Sensor config settings
IRIS 860 sensors are supplied with a default setting which is
indicated on the config sticker on the back of each sensor.
These settings can changed using a simple PC desktop software
application which can be downloaded for free at
www.seensafety.com/download
An IRIS 860 USB config cable is needed to connect the sensor’s
power port to the computer’s USB port.
Instructions
• Launch the IRIS 860 software app (Windows PC required)
• Connect the config cable USB plug directly to the computer
USB port, THEN connect it to the sensor power port
• The sensor will power up (indicated by green LED). Wait a few
seconds for the sensor to boot (indicated by a brief change to
red LED) and once booted, click “Connect”
• Update the settings then click “Apply New Settings”
• Check the new settings are correct, then unplug the sensor and
repeat for the next sensor.
TROUBLE SHOOTING.
• Make sure the sensor finishes booting (red LED followed by
steady green LED) before clicking “Connect”.
• If the sensor is powered on (green LED) but fails to connect,
try installing the Windows drivers included with the software.
Range setting
The detection range can be set in 0.5 metre steps up to 8.0
metres. Select Custom Range to individually change the range of
each channel (see examples on the following page).
Direction setting
A Reverse (R) set sensor will only alert in the presence of a 12-
100v reverse signal from the machine. A Forward (F) set sensor
will only alert when a reverse signal is not present. An Always
(A) set sensor will alert even if it is connected to a reverse signal
input.
Test Mode setting
A Test Mode enabled sensor can be temporarily toggled to test
mode using a simple ignition on-o-on sequence. When test mode
is active, the reverse direction (R) setting is ignored for 2 minutes.
This allows an operator to walk behind the machine to test the
sensor/s function without the machine needing to be in reverse
gear.
Test procedure:
• Turn the ignition on (to power the sensor), wait 2 to 5 seconds,
then turn the ignition o. The next time the ignition is turned
on the sensor will be in test mode indicated by a flashing green
LED on the sensor and cab-box (if used).
• Test mode lasts 2 minutes. The green LED on the sensor and
cab box (if used) flashes during this period indicating test mode
is active.
• Check the sensors are working by walking into the detection
zone behind the machine wearing a reflective safety vest.
Detection is indicated by an audible alarm and red LED.
