4.2.  Controller specifications 

Table 3 - Specifications of the IRmadillo controller 

Category 

Specification  

Controller 

The controller has been optimised for the rugged operation of the 
IRmadillo spectrometer; it is not a general-purpose personal computer. 
Keit does not recommend the installation of additional software; changes 
to the configuration may affect performance and reliability. 

User 
accounts 

There are two user accounts, one with system administrator privileges and 
a second ‘standard’ user. The standard user account starts automatically 
and is the default account for the KeitSpec software application. The system 
administrator account is provided to make changes to the operating system 
configuration and install additional software, if required. 

Windows 
updates 

The  controller  is  running  Windows  10  LTSC  with  automatic  updates 
disabled  by  default.  The  local  administrator  should  choose  when/if  to 
update  the  operating  system.  A  strategy  will  be  required  to  manage 
updates, particularly if the controller is connected to a network. 

Anti-virus 

There is no anti-virus installed. The controller should only be connected to 
internal, protected networks. Install your preferred anti-virus if required 

For detailed information on the controller, see Appendix 1: 

Controller Specifications

. 

4.3.  Storage conditions  

When  installed  with  purge  and  power,  the  IRmadillo  can  thermally  control  its  internal 
temperatures up to the limit specified on the product label. However, if the system  is to be 
stored before its use Keit recommends an air-conditioned environment. The environment must 
be non-condensing, with a relative humidity below 95%. The IRmadillo or storage container 
should also be out of direct sunlight. 

 

WARNING 

Storing the IRmadillo unpowered and unpurged in unsuitable 
conditions  can  cause  damage  to  the  instrument.  If  in  doubt, 
please consult with Keit  

In  contrast,  the  controller  must  be  both  stored  and  operated  in  a  safe,  non-hazardous 
environment. Keit recommends an air-conditioned environment, which is non-condensing and 
has  a  relative  humidity  below  90%.  See  Appendix  1: 

Controller  Specifications

  for  more 

information. 

 

WARNING 

Storing  or  operating  the  IRmadillo’s  controller  in  unsuitable 
conditions can cause damage. If in doubt, please consult with 
Keit
