2 000-10000-190-02-201308
Models Available
HL-3 Series light source models are available in regular (350 – 1100 nm) and extended (EXT models)
(350 – 2400 nm) wavelength ranges. The INT models are used with an integrating sphere (rather than a
CC-3 cosine-corrected irradiance probe). The following models are available in the HL-3 Series:
Model Calibrated Wavelength Range Minimum Uncertainty
Level
Shutter?
HL-3-CAL 350 – 1100 nm 10% No
HL-3-CAL-EXT 350 – 2400 nm 10% No
HL-3-INT-CAL 350 – 1100 nm 15% No
HL-3-INT-CAL-EXT 350 – 2400 nm 15% No
In addition the following plus versions are available which reduce the percentage of uncertainty to 3%
and offer a shutter:
Model Calibrated Wavelength Range Minimum Uncertainty
Level
Shutter?
HL-3 plus-CAL 350 – 1100 nm 3% Yes
HL-3 plus-CAL-EXT 350 – 2400 nm 3% Yes
HL-3 plus-INT-CAL 350 – 1100 nm 7% Yes
HL-3 plus-INT-CAL-EXT 350 – 2400 nm 7% Yes
The following sections provide instructions on unpacking and setting up your HL-3 Series Light Source.

Procedure
1. Unpack your lamp assembly and power supply carefully. Although the lamp is rigidly mounted,
dropping this instrument can cause permanent damage.
2. Inspect the outside of the instrument and make sure that there is no damage. Do not use the
instrument if damage is present.
3. Use this instrument in a clean laboratory environment (see Operating Environment ).
