ISS-UV/VIS Installation and Operation Instructions
Installing the Sampling System
Do not attempt to connect the ISS-UV/VIS to the spectrometer without following the installation instructions in this section. Furthermore, ensure that the spectrometer operating software (OOIBase32 or SpectraSuite) is installed on your PC and that the spectrometer is obtaining data before connecting the ISS-UV/VIS.
WARNINGS
The light beam emitted from the ISS-UV/VIS contains ultraviolet
radiation and can cause eye damage. Never look directly into the light source and always use safety goggles when working with this product.
Dangerous voltage levels are present, and there are no user-
serviceable parts. Do not open the unit.
For any experiments using UV light, we recommend using our
solarization-resistant fiber.
Contact Ocean Optics for bulb replacement.
Do not use this instrument for any clinical or diagnostic
measurements.
Dropping the unit can cause permanent damage. Handle with care.
Adjusting the Fit of the Cuvette
The ISS-UV-VIS is designed to hold 1-cm square cuvettes. When properly adjusted, the cuvette should fit snugly into the holder.
Procedure
1. Locate the two ball plunger screws.
2. Use a small flathead screwdriver to loosen the two ball plunger screws until the end of each screw is visible in the holder.
3. Insert a cuvette into the cuvette holder.
4. Tighten the ball plunger screws until the cuvette is stationary in the cuvette holder. Do not over-tighten.
5. Remove the cuvette from the cuvette holder.
