On the front side of the console you find the user interface with its 30° display and keypad group used to
navigate the CIRAS-3 console menus. Access to the Li-ion battery pack(s) and internal mechanical and
electrical components is achieved by loosening the two captive screws (turn counter-clockwise to release)
and gently lowering the door.
System Power
Power Supply Adapter
An AC power supply adapter (120/240 VAC / 50/60 Hz) is included with the CIRAS-3. If mains power is
available the system can be operated continuously using the power supply adapter. This same adapter is
also used to charge the internal battery packs. You must use the power supply adapter supplied by
PP Systems as other types may cause damage to the instrument.
