HG-1 Mercury Argon
Calibration Light Source
Installation and Operation Instructions
Description
The HG-1 Mercury Argon Calibration Source is a wavelength calibration source for UV-VIS- Shortwave NIR spectrophotometric systems. The HG-1 produces Mercury and Argon lines from 2531700 nm, and is an ideal lamp to use when performing fast, accurate spectrometer wavelength calibrations.
The HG-1 features an SMA 905 Connector for interfacing with our optical fibers. It operates with a 12 VDC power supply (included with the unit) or 9V battery (not included).
The following sections detail the features of the HG-1 Mercury Argon Calibration Light Sources.

HG-1-CAL Installation and Operation Instructions
Note
The HG-1 is NOT designed to operate as an excitation source in your experiments. Spectral lines above 922 nm are not easily detectable by Ocean Optics spectrometers.
Parts Included
The HG-1 package includes the following items:
HG-1 Mercury Argon Calibration Light Source
12 VDC power supply
WARNING
The beam emerging from the light source contains UV radiation that can cause serious eye injury upon direct contact with the eye. Never look directly into the light source.
The SMA 905 Connector may get extremely hot during operation. After lamp use, allow sufficient time to cool before handling.
Dangerous voltages are present, and there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Additionally, the HG-1 contains mercury. Never open the HG-1.
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
