ISS-UV/VIS Installation and Operation Instructions
229-10000-000-01-201010 3
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 an optical fiber to the SMA connector on the front of the ISS-UV-VIS and attach the
other end of this fiber to the SMA connector on your spectrometer.
3. Plug the wall transformer into a standard 110 V outlet. Plug the 12 V output into the back of
your ISS-UV-VIS above the 12V label. For users of European-version wall transformers, plug
the transformer into a standard 220 V outlet. At this time, the green LED indicator light on the
front of the lamp will be lit. This indicator light only means that the lamp is receiving power,
not that the deuterium and tungsten bulbs are on.
Operating the ISS-UV-VIS Manually
► Procedure
1. Find the switch on the back of the ISS-UV-VIS.
2. There are three positions: On , Off , and Remote . For Manual operation, move the switch to the
On position. There can be up to a 1.5 second delay between switching the lamp to on and the
bulbs igniting. If the lamp has not been used recently, the deuterium bulb may take up to 60
seconds to ignite.
3. For 0.3% peak-to-peak stability, allow 30 minutes warm-up time before taking your
measurements.
Operating the ISS-UV-VIS Through Software
► Procedure
1. Take the 15-pin accessory cable and plug one end into the spectrometer. Connect the other end
of the accessory cable into the back of the ISS-UV-VIS.
2. Find the switch on the back of the ISS-UV-VIS. There are three positions: On , Off , and Remote .
For Software operation, move the switch to the Remote position. Moving the switch to the
Remote position enables you to control the lamp through the software, whether you are using
OOIChem, OOIBase32, or SpectraSuite.
3. Start the operating software.
 For SpectraSuite software, check the Strobe/Lamp Enable check box on the Acquisition
toolbar to turn the light source in the ISS-UV-VIS on. Uncheck this box to turn the light
source off.
 For OOIBase32 software, select Strobe Enable from the OOIBase32 Acquisition
Parameters menu bar.
 For OOIChem software, select Spectrometer | Enable Strobe from the menu.
