15.4 Connecting the iRIS-CAM

Connecting the camera to the datalogger is a simple process. First disconnect all power to the logger then
feed the camera cable through the gland. Next connect the iRIS-CAM 6 way connector to the camera port on
the iRIS circuit board. This is located next to the SIM card carrier on the iRIS 350. For the iRIS 320 model,
install the camera adaptor PCB and connect the camera to the port on the adaptor. Finally tighten the gland
and re-power the logger.


















The easiest way to commission the iRIS-CAM is to connect it to the USB port of a laptop or desktop PC. This
allows quick and repetitive collection of images from the camera, enabling quick focusing and alignment of
the camera.


It is important to install the Windows® iRIS-CAM USB adapter drivers before connecting the
camera to the PC.
