Connecting the System Components
WARNING
Electrical Hazard
To prevent potential injury to yourself and damage to the instrument,
switch OFF all instruments in the system and disconnect them from the
line power supply before you alter any, or make any new, electrical
connections.
• The PC and the printer may be placed on either side of the spectrometer, but must not
be placed on top of the spectrometer.
When placing instruments side by side, always leave a small gap between them.
• Make sure that air can circulate freely over and under the system, as well as behind it.
• Do not place anything on, or under, any of the components that could hinder free air
circulation.
Connecting to the PC

The PC is connected using the connection marked COMPUTER or the USB connection
marked on the right side of the instrument, as shown in Figure 14.
NOTE: You can connect to the PC using either the USB connector or the 9-pin RS 232
connector. You must first install UV WinLab version 6.3 (or later). Do not use the
Ethernet connector; this is only used when updating the firmware.
