compa bility with ILT1700 (and IL1350) sensors. Future ILT2500 sensors will be supplied with an 
internal memory chip inside the D-sub connector that includes the model and serial number of the 
sensor as well as calibra on informa on. The ILT2500 will have the ability to read the smart detector 
informa on and apply the proper calibra on factor to be used during tes ng.  
The D-sub not only receives the current generated by the sensor a er exposure to light, it also 
supplies  bias to sensors requiring bias for power and/or to improve response  me.  The D sub 
connector is not limited to only measuring devices manufactured by ILT. Any solid state device that 
generates current from 50 pA to 1 mA can be connected to the ILT2500 for measurement of current.

Warning: please consult with an ILT technician before connec ng a current genera ng device that 
could exceed 1 mA of current to prevent risk of damage to the sensi ve measurement circuitry. 

6. USB Ports: 

There are three USB ports on the side of the

ILT2500 device

UPDATE:

 Is used for code updates and requires the use of

a memory s ck. (not included) 

DATA:

  Accesses the internal 4 Gb memory device where data is saved and to charge the 

ba3ery. The Micro USB is used to download stored data and to erase data from the memory 
device.  This port can also be used the charge the ba3ery.  

PC:

  The Mini USB port is used to connect to a computer and to charge the ba3ery.   Datalight
