Using the Fiber Supports
► Procedure
1. Snap the clamps around the fibers after the fibers are screwed into the light source and
spectrometer.
2. Lift the clamps until they support the fibers.
3. Unsnap the clamps to remove the fibers.
4. Insert the filter into the filter slot. The filter slot can accommodate filters up to 6 mm thick.
5. Clamp the filter in place by gently tightening the clamping screw finger-tight.
Adjusting the Fit of the Cuvette
The Cuvette Holder is designed to hold 1-cm square cuvettes. When properly adjusted, the cuvette
should fit snugly into the holder.
► Procedure
1. Locate the two ball plunger screws.
2. Remove the fiber clamps for easier access to the screws.
3. Use the provided screwdriver to loosen the two ball plunger screws until the ball end of the
screws is just visible in the cell holder and insert your cuvette into the holder.
4. Tighten the ball plunger screws until the ball contacts the cuvette and starts to compress. Do
not over-tighten.
Using the Temperature Stabilization Feature
This feature is used to heat or cool the cuvette holder base and cuvette.
► Procedure
1. Remove the plugs from the top side of the base. (The plug on the right side of the base should
stay in place but may require thread tape.)
2. Replace the plugs with the two barbed fittings (or any 1/8" NPT pipe thread fittings). Thread
tape may be required on the fittings.
3. Connect the fittings to a water source. Water will circulate through the base.
