Spectrum 100 and 400 Series  

Right-hand External Beam Option 

Spectrum 100 and 400 Series instruments can be fitted with a Right-hand External Beam 

Option.  

The Right-hand External Beam Option includes: a right-hand beam moveable mirror fitted 

within in the spectrometer, a KBr window, and an external accessory bracket fitted in the 

handhold on the right of the instrument. The bracket allows you to attach and use a pre-

amplifier and detector of your choice. 

 

Figure 1 Handhold with external accessory bracket fitted 

This document describes how to: 

 

Fit a different window in the right-hand external beam port. 

 

Connect a third-party pre-amplifier and detector to the instrument. 

 

Configure Spectrum or Spectrum Express software to use a third-party external 

detector. 

 

Use Spectrum or Spectrum Express software to select the accessory. 

NOTE: The Right-hand External Beam Option is installed, in the first instance, by a 

PerkinElmer Service Engineer, who will install the external accessory bracket in the 

handhold on the right of the instrument (if not already fitted) and any internal parts 

required. This external accessory bracket should not be removed.
