Removing the R-LS-1 from a Rack
If you received your rack-mounted spectrometer system pre-assembled from Ocean Optics, the R-LS-1
should be installed as the top item in the rack, with nothing above the blue anodized bulb housing. The
R-LS-1 generates a large amount of heat, and it should always be installed in this location to
minimized thermal effects on the spectrometers in the rack.
Example of Rack-mount R-LS-450
If you disassemble the rack for any reason, always install or reinstall the R-LS-1 in the top position in
the rack.
► Procedure
Follow the steps below to remove the R-LS-1 from a rack system:
1. Use a 3/16 nut driver or a small adjustable wrench to remove the four rack post nuts from the
top component of the rack system (see diagram above). Keep the four rack post nuts in a safe
place.
2. Lift the component off the rack and set aside.
