Turning the Lamp Off

Turn the Xenon lamp off by holding the Xenon ON/OFF switch down for one full second. The Status
LED blinks for about 30 seconds while the lamp cools down.

Warming Up the Lamp

The HPX-2000-HP-DUV requires 25-30 minutes of operation to reach a state of thermal equilibrium.
During this warm-up period, the intensity of the output power can vary substantially.

If applications require extreme intensity stability, the lamp should be warmed up for an additional 30-45
minutes. Once warmed up for this amount of time, the lamp will reach specified drift values.

The following graph shows a typical behavior of the intensity of a HPX-2000-HP-DUV during warm-up.

Operating the TTL Shutter

Automatic Operation

For automatic operation, plug the SUB-D 15-pin TTL connector into the appropriate socket on your
spectrometer.
