CIRAS-3 Operation Manual V. 1.09 31 support@ppsystems.com
Quick Start
We highly recommend that you take a few moments to run this simple test to A) familiarize
yourself with the basic CIRAS-3 set-up and operational functions and B) ensure that the system is
performing perfectly before starting any measurement campaign. The tutorial on the previous
pages is also highly recommended before your first measurement campaign.
1. Insert a new CO
2
cartridge, ensure all chemicals are fresh and connect the CIRAS-3 charger to
the CIRAS-3 main console (this will help to preserve the battery).
2. Connect the PLC3 Leaf Cuvette gas and signal connectors to the CIRAS-3 main console, close
the cuvette (with no leaf present) and press the CIRAS-3 On/Off switch to power up the system
and then Continue (F1).
3. Allow system to warm up for approximately 30 minutes. Press Settings (F2) and make sure that
that your Settings File and Accessory displayed are correct (change if necessary). Assuming that
you are using the PLC3 Universal Leaf Cuvette and PLC3 Universal LED Light Unit, set up as
follows and press Accept (F2):
To best simulate sunlight we recommend the following RGBW Control settings:
• Red: 38%
• Green: 37%
• Blue: 25%
• White: 0%
Give your system a couple of minutes to stabilize at the values that were set under Settings (F2). Once
stabilized, your display should look something similar to this.
