1.4 SIGMA SPECTRUM INFUSION PUMP SPECIFICATIONS

Applications
- Large and small volume parenterals
- Neonatal

Administration Set

Compatible with standard gravity IV sets supplied by Hospira® and several other companies,
(consult SIGMA for a complete list of compatible standard IV sets).

Performance

See Appendix A for additional specifications.

Downstream occlusion time to alarm for occlusion pressures adjusted to LOW (6 psi), MEDIUM (13
psi), and HIGH (19 psi) *:
RATE LOW(6psi) MEDIUM(13psi) HIGH(19psi)
5 mL/hr <5 min. <10 min. <20 min
100 mL/hr <15 sec. <20 sec. <40 sec.
Max. Bolus 0.25 mL 0.50 mL 0.80 mL
*With Occlusion 45 inches below the pump and alarm set to LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH.

Trip pressure specifications for downstream occlusions are:

Pressure Setting Nominal Value (psi) Tolerance (psi)
Low 6 ±4
Medium 13 ±6
High 19 ±9

All safety related sensing systems are automatically checked for proper operation periodically during
set up and pump running conditions. Faults are identified by SYSTEM ERROR codes.

Effect of Fluid Container Height1.

The performance of the infusion pump will be influenced by the forces of gravity on the fluid being
administered to the patient. When a fluid container is positioned above or below the patient’s
administration site, pressure forces associated with the fluid’s head-height (distance measured from
the center of the pumping mechanism to the top of the fluid in the source container) will cause
deviations in the nominal specification for device flow rate accuracy. The nominal head-height used
for the flow rate and graphical presentation is 24” (61 cm). e.g. The deviation from the nominal flow
rate accuracy from +24” to -20” (-51 cm) head-height has an influence of a possible -4% in flow rate
accuracy when the flow rate is set to 25 mL/hr.
1.
Note: Liquid container must be vented or a collapsible bag.

Bolus Accuracy
The SIGMA Spectrum IV Pump may have an optional bolus mode of operation. This feature allows
the user to perform a BOLUS SETUP action. To utilize this feature the pump must be programmed
with either a specific rate or a specific amount to be delivered in a certain amount of time.

If the pump is currently operating in mL/hr delivery mode, the bolus rate value is entered in mL/hr
and the volume is entered in milliliter (mL). If the pump is operating in a non-mL/hr delivery mode
(for example mcg/kg/min), the bolus amount would be entered in mcg/kg however the ML/HR soft
key may be pressed in the setup screen to enter the bolus information in mL/hr format.

In either mode, the time is entered in minutes and seconds (min:sec). Limits are placed on the
minimum and maximum amount of time for the bolus delivery. The limit constraints are contained
within the software of the Spectrum pump and are necessary to control the maximum or minimum
flow rate of the bolus infusion.

6
P/N 41019 Rev W
 SIGMA SPECTRUM INFUSION PUMP - SERVICE MANUAL

The accuracy of the bolus volume is dependent up the resultant flow rate that is obtained from the
calculation of volume to be delivered in the time requested. For example if the maximum bolus
volume is 300 mL, the maximum flow rate is obtained with a bolus time of 18:02 (min:sec) or a flow
rate of approximately 999 mL/hr. Using this maximum bolus volume, and delivering the volume in
the shortest amount of time, the mean value of 302 mL ± 5% may be expected. Whereas using a
minimum bolus volume (.5 mL), and delivering the volume in a reasonably short amount of time (1
minute), the mean value of .52 mL ±16% may be expected.

the infusion has completed. Settings are from 00:01 to 99:59 (hr:min). Setting the value to 00:00, or
Infinite, results in an infinite Hold period.

Near Empty alert – When enabled, a callback alert is generated when less than 30 minutes of
infusion remain. If the initially programmed infusion is less than 30 minutes, the alert shall not be
generated regardless of the setting.

DS Pressure Limit – Pressure levels are selectable from three levels; LOW (6psi ±4psi), MEDIUM
(13psi ±6psi), and HIGH (19psi ±9psi).

DISPLAY SETTINGS
RUN SCREEN OPTIONS – Each of the items in this list may be turned ON or OFF. If enabled, they
shall be included in the alternating screens that are displayed while the pump is running.

Battery Removal and Replacement

Should removal of the battery become necessary for any reason, the following procedure may be used.
Refer to Section 2, Technical Drawings, for the location of parts.

1. Turn unit OFF if ON.

2. Disconnect the AC Power Adaptor, and lay the SIGMA Model Spectrum Pump on its front. Use a
protective surface, such as plastic foam, to prevent damage to the keypad window.
3. Remove the screw located in the upper right hand corner of the SIGMA Spectrum Battery (if
equipped).
4. Depress the release mechanism found in the top center portion of the battery and pull away from the
back of the unit.
5. Install the battery by placing the battery insulation tab over the terminals and then gently sliding the
battery down the back of the case and inserting the bottom of the battery into the pocket then
pivoting it into the latch. Make sure the latch is engaged to retain the battery. Remove the battery
insulating tab prior to charging the pump’s battery or operating the pump.
6. Plug the AC power adaptor into an outlet and charge for 12 hours to assure a full charge.

Wireless Battery Module Battery Removal and Replacement

CAUTION: Static sensitive components will be exposed during this process. Perform this procedure
using proper antistatic techniques in an EOS/ESD safe work area. Failure to do so may result in
component failure or degradation.

Tools Required:
• TORX – T5 driver
• 1/8” to ¼” flat plate slightly larger than the perimeter of the Wireless Battery Module

1. The wireless battery pack may be removed from the back of the SIGMA Spectrum Infusion Pump
according to the first four steps of the above procedure for the standard battery.
2. Once the Wireless Battery Module is removed from the pump place it with the connecting terminals
up on the work surface.
3. Using the TORX driver, remove and retain the five TORX head screws from the case.
4. Turn the Wireless Battery Module over so that the terminals are now towards the work surface and
remove and retain the one remaining TORX head screw at the top of the antenna housing.
5. Place the Wireless Battery Module on the flat plate with the bottom (terminal end) of the pack even
with the edge of the plate.
6. Carefully open the case starting at the top of the case and fold it open towards the bottom as if it
were hinged at the bottom. NOTE: There is a flex cable attaching the two halves at the bottom of the
case. Take care not to over stress it.
7. Disconnect the four pin connector from the battery cables to the PCB inside of the Wireless Battery
Module by pressing the release latch on the connector and carefully pulling the connector apart.
Slight upward force on the wire end of the connector may help ease component clearance during
removal. Do not over stress.
8. The battery may then be removed from the pack.
9. Install the replacement battery in the reverse order of removal.
10. Make sure that the battery is flat inside of the case, the routing of the battery wires is flat across the
top of the PCB and that the connector is fully latched in place prior to reassembly.
11. Make sure that the antenna is properly seated in the slot in the case.
12. Make sure that the Wireless Battery Module latching mechanism is properly installed in the case.
13. Carefully fold the case halves back together, making sure that all internal components are aligned
properly and that the case will close fully without interferences.
14. Place the Wireless Battery Module on the work surface with the terminal side of the battery pack
facing up and install the five TORX screws. Tighten snug, do not over tighten. The case halves
should fit tightly together along the seams. If not check for loose screws or internal interferences
inside of the pack.
15. Check the latch mechanism operation to assure that it moves freely when depressed and released.

Section 3: Theory of Operation

Case
- SIGMA Spectrum consists of two case halves, the front and rear case assemblies.
Front Case Assembly
- The Front Case assembly is comprised of the front case plastic, display, two circuit boards and the
sealing wall. All components of this assembly are fastened with four hex standoffs and four Phillips
machine screws.
Rear Case Assembly
- The Rear Case assembly consists of the rear case plastic, a back flex circuit, an optional bar-code
scan engine with bracket, an external accessory connector and speaker. The back flex circuit is
assembled by heat staking it to the rear case. The optional scan engine is assembled with one
Phillips machine screw and the external accessory connector is assembled with the hardware
provided by the manufacturer.

Battery Pack
- The SIGMA Spectrum employs a removable Lithium Ion 7.2V battery pack. This assembly is made of the
battery cells, contact pins and the two plastic cases. The battery pack uses both cell and battery pack
protection to guard against short-circuit, over voltage and over current. The battery terminals are slightly
recessed to minimize the possibility that the terminals may be shorted on a conductive surface. The
battery pack is labeled to identify it and provide handling / disposal information as necessary for user
safety.
- Standard Battery (P/N 35702)
The standard battery is compatible with all SIGMA Spectrum pumps.
- 802.11b Wireless Battery Module Compatibility (P/N 35083)

The 802.1b Wireless Battery Module (P/N 35083) is only compatible with pumps that DO NOT
include a ‘G’ preceding the serial number, as shown above.
- 802.11b/g Wireless Battery Module Compatibility (P/N 35162)

42
P/N 41019 Rev W
 SIGMA SPECTRUM INFUSION PUMP - SERVICE MANUAL

The 802.1b/g Wireless Battery Module (P/N 35162) is only compatible with pumps that include a ‘G’
preceding the serial number, as shown above. The 802.11b/g Wireless Battery Module (P/N 35162)
should NOT be used with pumps that do not include a ‘G’ preceding the serial number.

Pole Clamp
- The Pole Clamp Assembly (SIGMA P/N 35712) is attached to the pump with a #8-32 x ¼” set screw.
The set screw is used to lock the Pole Clamp Assembly to the SIGMA Spectrum Pump. The Pole Clamp
Assembly is comprised of an anodized aluminum C-clamp and a slide mount receptacle bracket. The
bracket is attached to the C-Style Clamp with two ¼-20 x 5/8” Phillips machine screws.

Tubing Channel/Pump Door

- The tubing channel consists of a downstream tubing guide, the proximal air/occlusion sensor, pump
valves and fingers. These components are designed to facilitate in the proper loading of IV tube. The
administration set is loaded by opening the pump door by inserting the slide clamp into the keyhole
(loading point # 1) and pressing down until the door opens. Loading must be from the top to bottom of the
tubing channel and the tubing should be taught. Load the tubing into loading point # 2 and then loading
points # 3 and # 4. Close the door by pressing the upper and lower corners near the door hook areas.
Open the slide and roller clamp. To unload sets, push the slide clamp in the keyhole until the door opens
and pull tubing out from the bottom of the pump towards the top. Prevent free flow whenever the pump
door is open and when the set is out of the pump. This is accomplished by having the set’s slide clamp or
roller clamp fully closed. When changing IV sets or containers always keep the set’s slide clamp or roller
clamp fully closed, (except when following standard gravity set priming procedures).

Set Slide Clamp Sensor

- A reflective slide clamp sensor is employed to determine if a closed slide clamp is present in the keyhole.
If a slide clamp is present in the keyhole, the sensor LED light source will illuminate and detect the
presence of the clamp. The sensor component is used to alert the user that a closed slide clamp is
present in the keyhole when the user presses the RUN/STOP key.

Processing Architecture
- The SIGMA Spectrum employs three computational processors.
1. Two of the three processors, which we will call the “Sharp” (Processor Board – 60087) and “PIC” ” (I/O
Board – 60091) are utilized to form a diverse checked redundancy scheme and perform all of the safety
critical computations. The scheme is diverse because they are different processor types manufactured
by separate, independent manufacturers. Likewise, these processors utilize different software compilers
and math libraries, which yields additional independence. This processor pair utilizes a master/slave
checked redundancy scheme where safety critical computations are computed by the master processor,
and checked by the slave processor. If either processor’s check calculation does not match its own
computation or if a fault condition is detected, it can independently fail the system to a safe state, which
includes an audible alarm.

2. The third processor is used to charge the battery (Backflex – 35149), interface to the bar-code scanner
and pass asynchronous data through the rear case connector.

Pumping Mechanism
Physical Method
- The method that the SIGMA Spectrum utilizes for pumping fluid is through linear peristaltic
cyclical motion, that is, the tubing is repeatedly squeezed to create fluid pressure and thereby
flow of fluid.
Operation
- There are two phases of the pumping cycle. One phase called the “fill” phase allows the tubing
to be filled from the proximal or “upstream” end of the pump. The second phase of the cycle is
called the pumping phase of the cycle. The pump consists of two valves, one of which occludes
the administration set tubing at all times. The proximal valve occludes the tubing during the
pumping phase of the cycle. Similarly, the distal valve occludes the tubing during the fill phase
of the cycle. There are two “fingers” whose function is to squeeze fluid towards the distal end of
the pump thereby creating fluid pressure and fluid flow during the pumping phase of the cycle.
During the fill phase of the cycle, the fingers are in a position that allows maximum volume of
fluid to fill the tubing proximal to the distal valve.

Pumping Mechanism Assembly

- This assembly is comprised of an aluminum cast chassis and doorplate assembly. The motor,
cams, pumping fingers, upstream sensor and downstream sensor are also part of this assembly.
All components are fastened with standard, Phillips and socket head machine screws.
Motor
- The motor is connected to the I/O Board (60091) through a 10 conductor, 1 mm pitch flex circuit.

Motor Drive
- The motor drive circuitry will only allow the motor to run in a clockwise direction, which creates
fluid flow from the proximal end of the pump to the distal end of the pump. Both the PIC and
Sharp processors have the ability to independently remove power from the motor through
independent hardware switches, thereby halting the pump in the event that single fault condition
is detected. There are two mechanisms for detecting rotation of the motor. The first rotation
sensing mechanism is the two-channel encoder, which can sense motor angular velocity as well
as rotation direction. The second rotation sensing mechanism is the once per revolution hall
effect sensor. These two sensing mechanisms eliminate the possibility of incorrect sensing
motor velocity after a detectable single fault condition.

Motor and Gear Drive

- SIGMA Spectrum employs a 16-mm DC motor, encoder and planetary gearbox. The output
shaft of the gearbox is coupled to the pump drive camshaft by two identical gears thereby
creating a 1:1 drive ratio between the camshaft and output of the gearbox. Motor speed is
controlled by a closed-loop pulse width modulation (PWM) drive system that derives its power
directly from the battery or 9VDC source when the AC Power Adapter is connected.

Fluid Temperature
- Physical properties of administration set tubing are subject to the effects of fluid temperature. In general,
colder temperatures can cause negative flow rate errors in an uncompensated system. Similarly, hotter
temperatures can cause positive flow rate errors in an uncompensated system. The SIGMA Spectrum
employs a temperature compensation system to maintain flow rate accuracy over the operating
temperature range of the device. Approximate fluid temperature is measured by two negative
temperature coefficient thermistors, one proximal to the pumping mechanism and one distal to the
pumping mechanism. The proximal sensor is housed by the upstream sensor assembly. The distal
sensor is located in the lower tubing guide, just below the distal occlusion sensor. Both sensors are
calibrated at the factory, and are used to check each other for single fault failure conditions. The output
of both thermistors are filtered and fed to A/D converters for processing by Spectrum processors for
compensating pump motor speed to maintain flow rate accuracy.

 SIGMA SPECTRUM INFUSION PUMP - SERVICE MANUAL

Upstream Sensors
Optical tube sensor
- The optical tube sensor consists of Light Emitting Diode (LED) emitting Infrared light and a
phototransistor. The LED and phototransistor are located at the bottom of the ultrasonic sensor
housings, facing opposite to each other. This position is marked as load point 2 and is indicated
in red color next to the “direction of flow” label inside the pump door. The optical tube sensor
detects that an IV set is loaded at load point 2 to assist in proper loading of the IV set into the
pump. It must recognize the presence or absence of the IV tube. The sensor is activated only
when the door is open. If the IV tube is properly placed in the space between the LED and
phototransistor the infrared light is diffracted and the phototransistor outputs a high voltage. If
there is no IV tube present the phototransistor receives continuous infrared light and a low
voltage is output. The software monitors the output voltage and displays a green bar with a
check mark for a properly loaded tube and red bar with loading instructions when there is no
tube or an improperly placed tube in the sensor. This sensor is calibrated through a biomed
option.
Proximal Occlusion Detection
- The proximal occlusion sensor consists of two pairs of ultrasonic transmitters and receivers. A
“pusher” connected to the door assembly assures a constant force exerted against the
administration set tubing against the sensor housing. The transmitted ultrasonic signal is a
constant wave (CW) signal centered at a nominal 293 KHz. This signal is generated by exciting
a piezoelectric crystal near its natural resonant frequency. The ultrasonic signal propagates
from the sensor housing and laterally through the administration set tubing. The ultrasonic
receiver is a piezoelectric crystal matched in frequency to the transmitter. The differential output
of the receiver is amplified, envelope detected, and filtered before being presented to a 12-bit
A/D converter where it is converted to a 12 bit digital word. Three samples are taken for each
pump revolution. The digital words are processed by the SIGMA Spectrum processor and fed
into a detection algorithm. The detection algorithm compares successive samples and looks for
a trend of decreasing signal amplitude caused by a reduction in pressure against the sensor
housing. If the trend continues through a predetermined threshold over a predetermined unit of
time, a proximal occlusion is declared and a visual and audible alarm is presented to the user.
Air Sensor
- Air Detection – The air detector utilizes the same sensor hardware as described in the Proximal
Occlusion Detection section. The air detection algorithm utilizes an “air” threshold that is set by
a calibration routine at the factory. If the signal amplitudes received by both sets of ultrasonic
receivers are below the air threshold an air alarm is declared and a visual and audible alarm is
presented to the user. The SIGMA Spectrum air sensor is designed to detect air bubbles greater
than 1 inch of tubing (125 to 150µl depending on tubing calibration).

Downstream Sensors
Set loading
- The downstream sensor consists of a channel piezoelectric bridge force transducer and is
located between loading points 3 and 4 inside the pump door. This sensor has two basic
functions. The first is to acknowledge an IV administration set as being installed at load points 3
and 4. Acknowledgement is identified on the display with a third green bar and check mark. The
second function is to detect distal occlusions.
Distal Occlusion Detection
- The distal occlusion sensor utilizes a piezoelectric bridge force transducer. A pusher connected
to the door assembly assures a constant force exerted against the administration set tubing
against the sensor housing. The detection algorithm compares successive samples and looks
for a trend of increasing/decreasing signal amplitude caused by a increase/reduction in pressure
against the sensor housing. Four samples are taken for each pump revolution. The differential
output of the force transducer is amplified, envelope detected, and filtered before being
presented to a 12-bit A/D converter where it is converted to a 12 bit digital word. The digital
words are processed by the SIGMA Spectrum processor and fed into a detection algorithm. The
detection algorithm compares the received signal levels to thresholds set by the user selected
occlusion alarm trip points. If the received signal exceeds the trip points, a distal occlusion alarm
is declared and a visual and audible alarm is presented to the user.

Audible Alarm Device and System

- The audible alarm device is a 1 inch moving coil speaker. The speaker is driven by two separate audio
paths, one by the Sharp and one driven by the PIC. Either the Sharp or PIC can independently sound an
audio alarm tone if an alarm occurs or a fault is detected.

Electronic Components
- Spectrum consists of the following factory and field replaceable electronic components (please refer to
Spectrum System Diagram in Appendix B):

AC Power Adaptor / Charger

- The SIGMA Spectrum infusion pump uses an AC Power Adaptor capable of providing 800 mA at
9 VDC. The power adaptor connects to Spectrum via a positive locking connector, which will
reduce the possibility of accidental disconnection. When the AC Power Adaptor is plugged into
an AC receptacle, the Lithium Ion Battery Pack will be charged. Normal charger operation
occurs as follows: If the battery requires charging, the Spectrum battery charger will initially
maintain the battery at a constant current of approximately 400 mA until the battery voltage
reaches 8.4 volts (fully charged voltage). After the battery voltage reaches 8.4 volts, the charger
maintains this voltage until the charging current supplied to the battery is less than 60 mA. The
battery charge cycle is completed and will terminate. There are three mechanisms employed to
prevent overcharging of the battery. The first is the charging microcontroller’s ability to monitor
and control voltage and current applied to the battery. Second, a current clamp circuit is
employed to prevent charge currents that would cause charge circuit overheating. Third, battery
pack protection circuits within the battery pack itself prevent overheating and over charging.

- The Adaptor side of the A.C. Power Adaptor is equipped with a Protector (P/N 45742). The
Protector is a plastic enclosure which snaps onto the Adaptor. The purpose of the Protector
is to protect the Adaptor from damage during use in hospital environment. The A.C. Power
Adaptor with the Protector can be used on wall outlet and Pole Mount power strip
receptacles. The Protector comes installed with the pump. The Protector cannot be
removed from the Adaptor once it is installed. The Protector can be ordered separately as
an accessory for installing on old A.C. Power Adaptor. A separate instruction bulletin on
how to install the Protector will be send along with the Protector.

- The Protector is compatible with the cleaners mentioned in this Service Manual. Refer to
the SIGMA Spectrum Cleaning section of this Service manual for the methods of cleaning
and compatible cleaners that can be used on the Protector.

- NOTE: IMPROPER REMOVAL MAY DAMAGE THE POWER ADAPTOR. Remove the
Power Adaptor by grabbing the handle of the Protector and pulling it back of the receptacle.
Do not pull the cord to unplug the Adaptor from the receptacle. Improper twisting or pulling
of the connector or cord may damage the power supply.

Display
- Spectrum utilizes a: A reflective Highly Reflective Thin Film Transistor (HRTFT) liquid crystal
display containing 240 X 270 elements, Color (16 out of a pallet of 262,144 possible colors)
HRTFT, 240 X 270, 0.2235 mm X 0.2235 mm dot pitch, Illumination by side mounted LEDs and
diffuser. The display employs front lighting utilizing 6 white LEDs. Brightness of the LED front
light is controlled by a constant current source implemented on the 60091 I/O Board. The
display can be easily viewed while mounted to an IV pole, with viewing from distances up to 15
feet and a minimum viewing angle of ±30 degrees from a line perpendicular to the display plane.
The display has two flex circuit connections: The first 50 conductor flex circuit carries digital

APPENDIX C – Wireless Networking

Introduction:

The Sigma Spectrum Infusion Pump offers an optional Wireless Battery Module (SIGMA P/N 35083) providing an
802.11b wireless networking capability, and an optional Wireless Battery Module (SIGMA P/N 35162) providing an
802.11b/g wireless networking capability. In conjunction with a host computer system, the pump Drug Library can
be updated to a new library and pump status information may be sent via a wireless network connection to a host.

The pump includes a number of networking parameters that must be configured for the pump to access and use the
wireless network.

When a new pump is first received from Sigma, the BIOMED department must configure each pump’s network
parameters as described below. The BIOMED department will need to coordinate with the facility’s IT department to
determine the proper settings for the network parameters.

These network parameters are changeable by sending a configuration file to the pump via an IrDA interface. The
pump can also send its current network configuration file to a PC or PDA via the IrDA. A PDA or PC with an IrDA
interface can be used to program multiple pumps with the same configuration. The network configuration file is a
simple text file that can easily be edited on a PC or PDA and sent via the IrDA to a pump. After changing the
pump’s network configuration, the pump may need to be power cycles for the net settings to take effect.

Each pump stores its configuration information in non-volatile memory, so that even if it loses all power sources (AC
and battery) its settings are not lost.

The following is a description of the parameters required in order for the wireless interface module to work properly
with the host. These parameters may be accessed and reviewed as previously indicated in the Biomed Options
portion of this manual. They include:

Network Configuration

1) Network Status – this option shows the current status of the network connection. The following items are
available:
a) MAC Addr – displays the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the pump. This address is associated
with the Wireless Battery Module connected to the pump.
b) IP Addr – displays the current IP address of the pump.
c) SIGMA GW – displays the IP address or DNS name of the network host, also known as the Sigma
Gateway server.
d) Network Status – displays the current status of the wireless radio and network connection. If the wireless
radio is connected to a network, the relative receive level will be reported as a percentage. While the radio
is disabled or booting, pump event information is not buffered or sent to the network host. Network drug
library updates are only available when the pump is connected to a host.
e) Error Message or Network Information – displays status information or error conditions about any abnormal
conditions that may be preventing the pump from accessing or using the network.
2) Transfer Network Status – this option allows the pump’s network configuration to be sent or received via the
pump’s IrDA port, to or from an IrDA compatible PDA or PC. The pump’s network configuration may also be
reset, clearing any configured network passwords, returning the pump’s network configuration to the pump’s
default. To configure a pump for use with a facility’s network the pump’s network configuration file may be
modified and sent to the pump via IrDA. The pump serial number located in the network configuration file must
match the serial number of the pump it is being sent to,otherwise the pump will prevent use of the configuration
file. Note that certificate-based authentication modes are not supported. The default network configuration file,
available by pressing ‘send’ on this screen on a pump after pressing ‘reset’ to reset the configuration, can be
found below:

3) Network Settings – this option shows the basic network settings for the pump, and also allows the pump’s
network connection to be enabled or disable. The following fields item are available:
a) Networking – allows the pump’s network connection to be turned on or off. This setting is stored in the
pump after the pump is turned off, although the pump’s network connection is always turned off when the
pump power is turned off, including when the pump is turned off but in battery charge mode.
b) Sigma GW – (read-only, set via network configuration file) the IP address or DNS name of the network
host, also known as the Sigma Gateway server. Either this item or ‘Multicast’ may be set, but not both.
c) Multicast – (read-only, set via network configuration file) the IP address of the multicast group that the
pump joins to learn the location of the host. Either this item or ‘Sigma GW’ may be set, but not both.
d) Device ID – (read-only, set via network configuration file) the facility defined device identifier for this pump.
This value should be unique for each pump on a facility’s network.
4) TCP/IP Settings – this option shows the TCP/IP settings of the pump’s network connection. If Dynamic Host
Control Protocol (DHCP) is enabled, the current settings as configured by the DHCP server will be shown.
a) DHCP – (read-only, set via network configuration file) Dynamic Host Control protocol settings, either ‘on’ or
‘off’.
b) IP – (read-only, set via network configuration file) IP address of pump, either assigned statically or
assigned by DHCP server.
c) Gateway – (read-only, set via network configuration file) IP address of gateway, either assigned statically
or assigned by DHCP server
d) Netmask – (read-only, set via network configuration file) IP netmask, either assigned statically, or assigned
by DHCP server.
e) DNS – (read-only, set via network configuration file) Domain Name Server IP address, either assigned
statically, or assigned by DHCP server.
5) Wireless Settings – this option shows the Wireless settings of the pump’s network connection.
a) Mode (BSS) – (read-only, set via network configuration file) Basic Service Set (BSS), one of:
i) Infrastructure (AP)
ii) Join or Create Ad-Hoc
iii) Join only Ad-Hoc
iv) Join any
b) Name (SSID) – (read-only, set via network configuration file) Service Set Identifier (SSID), or the name of
the wireless network to join.
c) Channel – (read-only, set via network configuration file) wireless network channel (1-11) to use, or ‘search’
if all channels are to be scanned for the configured wireless network.
d) Security – (read-only, set via network configuration file) the security model to use, one of:
i) Any
ii) Open system
iii) WEP
iv) WPA pre-shared key
v) WPA 802.1x
vi) WEP 802.1x
vii) LEAP
e) WEP Key – (read-only, set via network configuration file) the WEP key index (0-3) and the 10 (64-bit)
or 26 (128-bit) hex characters WEP key. If the entire WEP key can not be displayed on the screen,
then an ellipsis, “…” is displayed at the end of the displayable portion.
f) Encryption – (read-only, set via network configuration file) the encryption method use on the wireless
network:
i) Any
ii) WEP
iii) TKIP
iv) CCMP (AES)
v) Open (no encryption)

g) WPA PSK – (read-only, set via network configuration file) WPA pre-shared key, may be either an 8-63
character pass-phrase, or up to 64 hex characters long for a pass-key. Use of the pass-key, versus a
pass-phrase, will reduce the amount of time needed by the pump to connect to the wireless network. If the
entire WPA PSK can not be displayed on the screen, then an ellipsis, “…” is displayed at the end of the
displayable portion.
APPENDIX C – Wireless Networking (cont’d)

h) Authentication – (read-only, set via network configuration file) the allowable inner and outer EAP modes
used for wireless network authentication, one or more of the following:
i) LEAP
ii) PEAP-MSCHAPv2
i) Username – (read-only, set via network configuration file) user name used to authenticate the pump on the
wireless network.
j) Password – (read-only, set via network configuration file) password used to authenticate the pump on the
wireless network.

Network Interface Information:

A MAC address is supplied for each Wireless Battery module. Because the radio is located in the battery module,
the MAC address is associated with the radio and therefore the Wireless Battery Module, not the pump that it is
attached to. The MAC address for each battery module is assigned at the factory and cannot be changed. The
address is located on the side label of each Wireless Battery Module.

When a Spectrum pump is turned on, assuming it is properly configured, it will attempt to locate and connect to the
wireless network. It is the responsibility of the host network to verify the specific pump is permitted to gain access
to the network and determine what parts of the network it shall have access to.

Contact SIGMA International, Inc. for further information pertaining to suggested host requirements and/or details
needed for network implementations.
