FL-400 Flame-resistant
Fiber Probe
Installation and Operation Instructions
Description
The FL-400 Flame-resistant Fiber Probe is a heat-resistant fiber optic probe that couples to Ocean Optics miniature fiber optic spectrometers to measure dissolved metals and high-temperature plasmas.
The FL-400 is a high-temperature 400­The tip of the FL-400 probe functions in environments up to 700
m gold-jacketed UV-VIS optical fiber in an 8” nickel sleeve.

Parts Included
FL-400 probe
Wire loop for emission measurements of dissolved materials
SMA Splice bushing (21-02)
An optical fiber is not included but is required for operation. We recommend the P400-2-UV-VIS Optical fiber.

FL-400 Fiber Probe Installation and Operation Instructions
Connecting the Probe
Procedure
To connect the FL-400, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the plastic cover from the FL-400 probe.
2. Locate the 21-02 SMA Splice Bushing that came with the probe system.
3. Connect the male end of the FL-400 probe to the splice bushing.
4. Connect a standard optical fiber (sold separately; typically a P400-2-UV/VIS 400 fiber) to the other end of the splice bushing.
5. Connect the other end of the optical fiber to the SMA 905 connecter on the spectrometer.
6. Attach the wire loop to the FL-400 by slipping the FL-400 into the coil spring of the wire loop.
You can now observe flame emission spectra of samples such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and copper.

Operation
After connecting the probe, you can use it to measure salt solutions and solid samples.
Measuring Salt Solutions
Procedure
1. Dip the flame loop into salt solutions such as potassium, copper, sodium, or calcium.
2. Insert the wire loop into a propane torch flame.
Measuring Solid Samples
Procedure
1. Dampen the loop with HCI solution.
2. Dip the loop into a solid sample for flame test.
