click Apply to save the password(s).

Setting up the analyzer 7
Activating the sensor head thermal pump
This step should have been performed during system installation and commissioning, so this is mostly
a reminder of this critical procedure.
The CoreSense M10 sensor head is delivered with its thermal pump turned off. For configuration
purposes, the sensor head can be powered when it does not contain any transformer fluid.
However, its thermal pump must be turned off. When installation is complete and the sensor head is
in contact with transformer fluid, make sure to activate the thermal pump.
NOTICE
The thermal pump will fail within minutes if operated in air.
To activate the thermal pump:
1 From the CoreSense M10 dashboard (see Figure 2 on page 3), click Settings. The Settings page
appears (see Figure 3).
2 Click Administration settings and enter your password (for more information on passwords, see
“Changing passwords” on page 5).
3 Scroll down to the Application settings section and check the Enable thermal pump box.
When you check this box, a reminder appears, asking you to verify that the sensor head is properly
connected to the transformer (i.e., in contact with oil).
4 At the bottom of the page, click Apply to confirm activation of the thermal pump.

If IP addresses on your network are managed via a DHCP server, check the Enable DHCP client box and
click Restart analyzer at the bottom of the page. Doing this deactivates the address fields (IP Address,
Network mask, Gateway) and your system address will now be assigned by the DHCP server.
You can only find the IP address attributed to your system by the DHCP server by looking at the system
touchscreen inside the cabinet.
Once you know this address, you can use it (and even bookmark it) in the address bar of your web
browser to access the system’s web page. This address also now appears in theAdministration
settings, under Network settings, in the SCADA IP address field.
Enabling DHCP Server on Service Port
The network Service port runs a DHCP server on new instruments or on any instrument following a
Wipe Install. To enable or disable the DHCP server on the Service port, check or uncheck the Enable
DHCP server box and click Restart analyzer at the bottom of the page. Doing this deactivates the
address fields (IP Address, Network mask, Gateway) and your system address on the Service port will
now be 172.16.100.1. Any device that connects to the Service port will receive an IP Address in the range
172.16.100.2 to 172.16.100.20.
