2. Connect the collection cable (L1323332) from the Raman module to the COL coupler
under LED FIBER 1 on the rear panel of the spectrometer.
Ensure that the end of the fiber with the white cable marker is attached to the Raman
module.
Make sure that the polarizing ridge on the fiber optic cable is aligned with the slot in the
coupler casing before carefully pushing the cable into the coupler (Figure 21).
CAUTION
Try to bend the fiber as little as possible. If you bend the fiber through a
tight angle it can be damaged.
3. When you have connected both cables, ensure that they do not touch the illumination
source.
You could use a cable tie to direct the cables round the source.
