INTRODUCTION

(click image for a larger view)

IRIS VAM is one of the advanced family of telematics units designed by IRIS Technology, incorporating the unique IRIS communications protocol and IRIS Spatial Awareness technology.

The original design concept was developed with MIRA the UK Motor Industry Research Association to allow high-speed data from the vehicle CAN network to be transmitted in real time over the GSM network as well as provide positional data and accept inputs from other sensors and devices.

IRIS has further developed this capability to provide the stolen vehicle tracking and vehicle asset management industry with the most flexible and cost effect solution available.

FEATURES & FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Fully integrated telematics unit incorporating digital voice and encrypted data communications:
- Dual CAN Interfaces
- Single RS232 Port
- 7 Digital Inputs
- 3 Switched Outputs
- 1-Wire Interface
- Multiplexed 433MHz RF
- 16Mb Internal Memory
- Digital Motion Detect
Text/Token to speech function allows delivery of voice commands to the driver of the vehicle.
As an alternative to the main vehicle audio system an optional 20w power amplifier provides high quality output to a standalone speaker.
Class leading low power consumption of 14µA whilst monitoring for motion or timer functions.
Locate on demand option, the unit may be woken even when in sleep mode to obtain position or download data.
IRIS spatial awareness technology allows the unit to monitor and report on its position relative to pre-programmed routes or locations.
Powerful embedded processing routines offer the option of on-board data processing thereby reducing the cost of data downloads.
Self-diagnostics check to establish the ability of the unit to perform its full range of design functionality.
