LS-1-CAL Installation and Operation Instructions
009-00000-CAL-01- 201311 3
Additional Accessories
The following are additional accessories available from Ocean Optics that you may need, depending
on your system set-up:
• Spectrometer
• SMA-terminated optical fiber or CC-3 cosine-corrected irradiance probe
• Ocean Optics software
WARNING
The light source becomes extremely hot during operation and does not contain a
cooling fan. Handle with extreme care during operation.
Connecting the Light Source
The set-up procedure differs slightly, depending on whether you are connecting the LS-1-CAL to a
bare fiber or a cosine corrector. The LS-1-CAL-INT connects to an integrating sphere such as the
Ocean Optics FOIS-1 Fiber Optics Integrating Sphere.
Connecting the LS-1-CAL

Procedure
1. Use a 0.050 Allen wrench to loosen the setscrew on the SMA connector of the LS-1-CAL.
2. If using a bare fiber with the LS-1-CAL:
a. Remove the inner barrel from the SMA connector.
b. Screw this connector barrel onto the end of the fiber until the connection is tight.
c. Insert the barrel and fiber completely into the SMA connector of the LS-1-CAL.
If using a CC-3 cosine corrector with the LS-1-CAL:
a. Remove the inner barrel from the SMA connector.
b. Screw the CC-3 cosine corrector onto the end of the fiber until the connection is tight.
c. Insert the CC-3 and fiber completely into the SMA connector of the LS-1-CAL.
3. Use the Allen wrench to tighten the setscrew on the SMA connector or CC-3 of the LS-1-
CAL.
4. Screw the other end of the fiber into the SMA connector of the spectrometer.
5. Plug the switching AC adapter (black rectangular box) into the back of the LS-1-CAL. This
adapter stabilizes the power coming into the lamp to insure constant spectral intensity
6. Plug the power cord into the back of the switching AC adapter, then plug the other end of the
power cord into a standard outlet.
7. Switch the lamp on using the on/off switch on the back of the LS-1-CAL.
