3.5 ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER CONNECTIONS
Before powering up the system for the first time, it is suggested to have a qualified electrician verify
the wall socket to be used with the instrument meets the requirements for operation as noted.
Before making any electrical connections, verify the front panel power switch is in the off position for
the spectrograph.
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, connect the instrument to properly earth-
grounded, 3-prong receptacles only. Failure to observe this precaution
can result in severe injury or death.
The line voltage requirement is as follows:
Spectrograph Power Adapter
100 to 240 VAC, 47-63 Hz
The spectrograph conforms to CE standards for both safety and EMC. During normal use, this
equipment will not pose any electrical hazards to the user. Read all warnings before installing or
operating this system. If there are any questions or concerns, contact Oriel Instruments or the
regional sales representative for Newport.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Never attempt to open the lamp power supply or spectrograph power
adapter. These items do not contain any user serviceable parts. Failure
to follow this warning can result in severe injury or death.
The spectrograph
’s power adapter connects to an AC wall socket and supplies DC voltage to the
instrument. Do not open the spectrograph cover and attempt to work inside without first turning the
instrument off and disconnecting the power cord from the AC mains.
The spectrograph provides power to the filter wheel and allows the user to select which filter is
placed in the optical path.
Ensure the spectrograph power switch is in the off position (marked as O). Then connect the power
adapter to the spectrograph, as shown. Insert the power cord provided into the power adapter and
connect to the AC mains.
Connect the USB, RS232 or GPIB cable to the spectrograph.
If using the computer’s USB port,
plug the other end of the USB cable into the computer only after the TracQ Basic software is
installed.
