Connecting the AR-1
Follow the steps below to set up your AR-1 for use.
► Procedure
1. Plug the 12 VDC power supply into a power outlet, then connect the barrel connector of the
power supply to the power input on the rear of the AR-1.
or
Alternately, you can use a 9-volt battery (not included) to power the AR-1. Open the battery
hatch of the AR-1 and install the 9-volt battery, and then proceed to Step 2.
2. Connect a fiber to the SMA 905 Connector on the AR-1. If your spectrometer does not have
an entrance slit, use a 50 m diameter (or smaller) fiber. Larger fibers and slits result in
reduced optical resolution.
