Figure 4: Universal Connector Adapter
4. Clean the internal cavity with a pipe cleaner and alcohol (a rotating motion will yield the
best results). The adapter is a critical component that can provide highly reliable mating
of optical connector, if properly maintained.
5. Gently wipe the flat surface of the adapter to ensure a clear mating surface during re-
assembly.
6. To insert the adapter sleeve into the base plate, align the center axis of the two parts
and make sure the alignment key will mate with the alignment hole on the flat surface
of the base plate. Once in position, fasten the two adapter mounting screws to secure
the parts together.
7. Clean all ports by repeating Steps 1 - 4.
8. All jumper connectors used to mate other equipment with the TB9 should be cleaned
thoroughly (see connector cleaning section).
Powering and Warming up the Grating Filter
To power up the TB9 grating filter:
1. Connect the TB9 grating filter to the AC power source, using the AC power cord provided.
2. Set the power switch to I (on) and observe the power-up sequence. The key lamps and
status LEDs will illuminate. The version of the software is displayed briefly followed by
“TB9(CRLF) AD”. CRLF is the message terminating sequence <CR> <LF>, AD is the
GPIB address (a number between 1 and 32). After the power-up sequence is complete the
instrument will display the wavelength that corresponds with the start of the tuning range
