5. Installation
The Cirrus instrument should be installed on a flat, level bench top with adequate ventilation as
discussed in Specifications. Periodic maintenance will be required during the lifetime of the unit, with
this in mind, some thought should given to the units location.
All connections should be easily accessible, with the Cirrus positioned so that strain is not placed on
any of the cables or connectors.
Important
Once the Cirrus is running it must not be moved or damage to the turbo pump will occur.
Once shut down, allow adequate time for the turbo to reach a complete stop.
5.1 Default IP Address
The Cirrus is supplied with a default IP address of 192.168.0.250 and a subnet of 255.255.255.0. This
may need to be changed if you intend to connect the Cirrus to your company network for example.
5.2 Changing the IP Address
In order to change the IP address to suit your network IP scope, we recommend using a PC that is not
part of a network, with a fixed IP address of 192.168.0.x (where x is a number of your choosing, but
NOT 250) and the subnet set to 255.255.255.0.
Connect the PC to the Cirrus using a “cross-over” cable, run “ConfigureTCPIP.exe” from the Program
Files\Spectra\RGA Applications\Hardware directory, connect to the remote server at 192.168.0.250 and
then click on the IP Address button and enter the IP address and subnet mask that you wish to use.
Shut down the Cirrus by disconnecting it from the mains supply and the reconnect and power the unit
up. The Cirrus will now be configured to use the new IP address.
