Operating Instructions

Operating the Xenon Lamp

The following sections provide instructions on operating the Xenon lamp in the HPX-2000 Light Source.
The HPX-2000 unit must be in a horizontal position for it to work.

Starting Main Power

► Procedure

To apply main power to the unit,

1. Ensure that the proper voltage is set on the Voltage Selector Switch on th e rear panel of the unit

(see Rear Panel

2. Ensure that the Main Power Switch is OFF. Then, connect the power cord to the Terminal Input

on the rear panel of the unit.

3. Turn the Main Power Switch ON. The Power LED lights, indicating that the unit is receiving

power. The Xenon bulb remains off after power-on.

).

Starting the Lamp

Hold the Xenon ON/OFF switch down for 1 full second to illuminate the HPX -2000 lamp.
The lamp cannot be started when the Status LED is blinking. The Status LED blinks for about 5 seconds

after the main power is switched on (main power switch is located on rear of unit).

WARNING

Protective ey ew ear must be worn when using this equipment - Intense ultraviolet
radiation present. Never l ook directly into the light beam, as this can cause eye
damage.

000-10000-080-02-201207 9

3: Operating Instructions

Turning the Lamp Off

Turn the Xenon lamp off by holding the Xenon ON/OFF switch down for one full second. The Status
LED blinks for about 30 seconds while the lamp cools down.

Warming Up the Lamp

The HPX-2000 requires 25-30 minutes of oper ati on to re a ch a stat e of the rm al equ ilib riu m. Du ring this
warm-up period, the intensity of the output power can vary substantially.

If applications require extreme intensit y stability, the lamp should be warmed up for an addition al 30-45
minutes. Once warmed up for this amount of time, the lamp will reach specified drift values.

Operating the TTL Shutter

Automatic Operation

For automatic operation, plug the SUB-D 15-pin TTL connector into the appropriate socket on your
spectrometer.

Manual Operation

Manually set the operating m ode of the HPX-2000 with the Shutter Switch as follows:

• OPEN - Shutter open

• CLOSE - Shutter closed

• TTL - Controlled over external TTL signal (HIGH=OPEN , LOW=CLOSE)

Operating the Filter Slit

► Procedure

1. Rotate the li gh t beam protection c ap to open the filter slit (see Front Panel).

2. Insert your f ilter with a maximum size of 1” round or square into the filter s lit.

3. Rotate the light bea m prot e ction cap to close the filter slit.

Troubleshooting

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

Issue Probable Cause Resolution

Power switches on, but no
LEDs light.

Xenon lamp does not start

Line power not present Check line voltage
Fuse defective Check fuse

Lifetime of the lamp is
exhausted

Lamp’s internal connection plug
is not closed properly

Replace the lamp module

Open unit (see Bulb Replacement
and close connector plug.

Appendix A

Bulb Replacement

To order replacement bulbs for the HPX-2000, order item number HPX-2000-BM.

Replacing the Bulb

WARNING

During operation, the lam p reaches a tempe r ature of approximately 250°C. Before
changing the lamp’s bulb, please wait at least 20 minutes for cooling before touching
the lamp module.

► Procedure

Follow the steps below to change the bulb in the HPX-2000:

1. Turn the Main Power Switch OFF.

Caution

Connection/discon nection of the power cord from the Xenon lamp M UST only be
done when the Main Power Switch is turned OFF . Because the output of the power
supply is not galvanically separated from the line voltage, the connecting lead for
the Xenon lamp can carry a voltage >42 V when the Main Power Switch is turned
ON.

2. Disconnect the power cord from the unit.

3. Rotate the cap (Figure 2, #3) until the round hole is at the bottom and a screw (Figure 1, #2)

becomes visible.

4. Remove the screw using the 1.5 mm Allen wrench included with the replacement bulb.
