2.
Plug the wall transformer into a standard 110 V outlet. Plug the 12 V output into the back of your
ISS-UV-VIS above the
12V
label. For users of European-version wall transformers, plug the
transformer into a standard 220 V outlet. At this time, the green LED indicator light on the front of the
lamp will be lit. This indicator light only means that the lamp is receiving power, not that the
deuterium and tungsten bulbs are on.
Operating the ISS-UV-VIS Manually
1.
Find the switch on the back of the ISS-UV-VIS.
2.
There are three positions:
On
,
Off
, and
Remote
. For Manual operation, move the switch to the
On
position. There can be up to a 1.5 second delay between switching the lamp to on and the bulbs igniting.
If the lamp has not been used recently, the deuterium bulb may take up to 60 seconds to ignite.
3.
For 0.3% peak-to-peak stability, allow 30 minutes warm-up time before taking your measurements.
Operating the ISS-UV-VIS through Software
1.
Take the 15-pin accessory cable and plug one end into the PC2000 installed into your computer.
Connect the other end of the accessory cable into the back of the ISS-UV-VIS.
2.
Find the switch on the back of the ISS-UV-VIS. There are three positions:
On
,
Off
, and
Remote
.
For Software operation, move the switch to the
Remote
position. Moving the switch to the
Remote
position enables you to control the lamp through the software, whether you are using OOIChem
or OOIBase32.
3.
When using OOIChem, select
Spectrometer | Enable Strobe
from the menu to turn the light source
in the ISS-UV-VIS on and off.
4.
When you want to control the ISS-UV-VIS through our more advanced OOIBase32 Spectrometer
Operating software, select or deselect the
Strobe Enable
box in the Acquisition Parameter dialog
bar above the graph area to turn the light source in the ISS-UV-VIS on and off. Refer to the
OOIBase32 Spectrometer Operating Software Manual
for more details.
4.
There can be up to a 1.5 second delay between turning the bulbs on via the software and the bulbs
igniting. If the lamp has not been used recently, the deuterium bulb may take up to 60 seconds to ignite.
5.
For 0.3% peak-to-peak stability, allow 30 minutes warm-up time before taking your measurements.
Disabling the Tungsten or Deuterium Bulb
It is possible to disable the deuterium or the tungsten bulb in the ISS-UV-VIS. Both bulbs are enabled at
the time of manufacture. In order to disable the deuterium or tungsten bulb, you must remove the casing of
the ISS-UV-VIS.
Disabling the Deuterium Bulb
Jumper block JA of the ISS-UV-VIS's circuit board controls the deuterium bulb. Short pins 2-3 (that is,
place a jumper over pins 2-3 of JA) to enable the deuterium bulb. Short the pins 1-2 (that is, place a
jumper over pins 1-2 of JA) to disable the deuterium bulb.
Disabling the Tungsten Bulb
Jumper block JB of the ISS-UV-VIS's circuit board controls the tungsten bulb. Short pins 2-3 (that is, place
a jumper over pins 2-3 of JB) to enable the tungsten bulb. Short pins 1-2 (that is, place a jumper over pins
1-2 of JB) to disable the tungsten bulb.
Bulb Replacement
The deuterium and tungsten bulbs
cannot
be replaced by unauthorized personal. To replace a bulb in the
ISS-UV-VIS, contact Ocean Optics.
