Operating Instructions

Operating the Lamp

The following sections provide instructions on operating the Deuterium and Tungsten-Halogen lamps in
the DH-2000-CAL.

Starting the Lamp

Press the Deuterium or Halogen On/Off switch down to preheat the desired lamp. The bulb requires a 20
second preheating period. You must allow this warm up period in order to receive accurate data. After the
warm up period, the lamp will illuminate.

After successful illumination, the two-color LED beneath the lamp’s On/Off switch lights up green to
indicate that the lamp is on. Should the lamp fail to light, see

Protective eyewear must be worn when using this equipment - Intense ultraviolet radiation
present.

WARNING

Never look directly into the light beam, as this can cause eye damage.

Troubleshooting for more information.

Turning the Lamp Off

Turn the lamp off by pressing the appropriate On/Off switch.

Warming Up the Lamp

The Deuterium and Tungsten-Halogen lamps require 20 minutes of operation to reach a state of thermal
equilibrium. During this warm-up period, the intensity of the UV output power can vary substantially.

If applications require extreme intensity stability, the Halogen lamp should be warmed up for an
additional 15 minutes. Once warmed up for this amount of time, the lamp will reach specified drift values.

3: Operating Instructions

Configuring Calibration with the DH-2000-CAL

The following sections provide instructions on configuring calibration with the DH-2000-CAL.

Configuring the DH-2000-CAL

► Procedure

Follow the steps below to configure the DH-2000-CAL:

1. If using a bare fiber with the DH-2000-CAL:

a. Screw the fiber end onto the SMA barrel adapter until secure.

b. Insert the SMA barrel adapter completely into the optical input on the DH-2000-CAL.

If using a CC-3 cosine corrector with the DH-2000-CAL:

a. Screw the CC-3 cosine corrector onto one end of the fiber until the connection is tight.

b. Insert the CC-3 cosine corrector completely into the input on the DH-2000-CAL.

2. Use the Allen wrench to tighten the setscrew on the optical input of the DH-2000-CAL.

3. Screw the other end of the fiber into the SMA 905 Connector of the spectrometer.

4. Plug the black power cord into the back of the DH-2000-CAL.

5. Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard outlet.

6. Turn the lamp power on using the black switch on the rear of the DH-2000-CAL.

7. Switch the individual lamps on using the buttons on the front of the DH-2000-CAL.

8. Allow the lamp to warm up for at least 20 minutes before proceeding.

12 000-10000-030-02-1209

3: Operating Instructions

Calibrating a Spectrometer with the DH-2000-CAL

► Procedure

Follow the instructions below to calibrate a spectrometer using the DH-2000-CAL:

1. Copy all calibration files supplied with the lamp to the application (software you will be using)
folder.

2. Follow the instructions in your software for UV range calibration, using the appropriate
Deuterium lamp file (bare fiber or CC-3 Cosine Corrector).

3. Follow the instructions in your software for VIS range calibration, using the appropriate Tungsten
Halogen lamp file (bare fiber or CC-3 Cosine Corrector).

Note

You can use either UV or VIS range calibration only. Note that if the spectrometer range
exceeds the calibration range, the data obtained outside the calibration range is inaccurate
and should be discarded. Deuterium calibration is not appropriate for the VIS range, and
Tungsten Halogen calibration is not appropriate for the UV range.

If a full range calibration is required, combine the two resulting calibration files (UV and
VIS) at 400 nm either manually or in your software.

Troubleshooting

Deuterium Lamp

If the power supply or Deuterium lamp does not seem to functioning properly, check the following:

Issue Probable Cause Resolution

Power switches on, but no
LEDs light.

Deuterium lamp does not
ignite.

The two-color LED under the
Deuterium On/Off switch lights
up red, indicating an error.

Deuterium lamp turns off
during operation.

Line power not present Check line voltage

Fuse defective Check fuse

Allow the Deuterium lamp to cool
down (20 minutes).

Deuterium lamp too hot

Deuterium lamp life exhausted Replace Deuterium lamp

Deuterium lamp’s internal
connection plug is not closed
right

Deuterium lamp too hot

Press On/Off switch again to
reset the Deuterium lamp, then
press again to restart.

Open unit (see the
and close connector plug.

Appendix A

Maintenance

Overview

Maintenance of your DH-2000-CAL unit involves periodic recalibration and replacing the light source
bulbs, when necessary.

Recalibration

You should have the DH-2000-CAL recalibrated after every 50 hours of use. Contact Ocean Optics or
your DH-2000-CAL vendor for recalibration information. The recalibration order code is DH-2000­RECAL.

Bulb Replacement

You can manually change the Deuterium and Halogen bulbs in the DH-2000-CAL. However, as a
recalibration is required when the bulb in the DH-2000-CAL is replaced, we recommend sending the DH­2000-CAL in for bulb replacement and calibration service after 50 hours of use.

Contact an Ocean Optics Application Sales Engineer for information on bulb replacement service and
lamp recalibration.

To order replacement bulbs for the DH-2000-CAL, order the following item number(s):

 Deuterium Spare Bulb (220 – 400 nm): D-2000-B

 Halogen Spare Bulb (300 – 1050 nm): DH-2000-B
