Connecting to the Spectrometer

Procedure

1. Remove the power from the spectrometer by disconnecting it from the PC or detaching the

USB cable.

2. Attach the SMA Collimator to the SMA 905 connector of the spectrometer. This should be

connected so that the outer threaded half of the collimator is pointing towards the
spectrometer. The USB-ISS-UV/VIS will not connect correctly if this piece is not properly
oriented (see diagram below).

3. Screw the USB-ISS-UV/VIS to the front of the spectrometer using a standard flathead

screwdriver. The connection screws are accessed from the front of the USB-ISS-UV/VIS (the
white lined holes on the front of the unit).

4. Connect the power supply to a standard power outlet, and then connect the 5-volt power

connector to the USB-ISS-UV/VIS. This will activate the unit, and the fan should begin to
spin.

5. Connect the USB cable to the spectrometer and to the PC.
