USB-ISS-UV/VIS

Integrated Sampling System

Installation and Operation Instructions

Description

The USB-ISS-UV/VIS Integrated Sampling System is a snap-on, direct-attach 1 cm cuvette holder and
UV/VIS/NIR light source (200-1100 nm) combination created specifically for the USB4000
Spectrometer and the USB2000+ Spectrometer (and their predecessor, the USB2000 Spectrometer).
The deuterium tungsten light source receives control instructions via the accessory connector on the
spectrometer.

The USB-ISS-UV/VIS also contains a built-in cooling fan. Therefore, due to the increased power
requirements of the light source, the sam pling system requires a separate 5-volt power supply
(included with the system).

USB-ISS-UV/VIS Installation and Operation Instru cti ons

Parts Included

The USB-ISS-UV-VIS Integrated Sampling System ships with the following components:

• USB-ISS-UV/VIS miniature deuterium tungsten halogen light source

• 5-volt DC power supply

• SMA Collimator for spectrometer SMA coupling

Installing the Sampling System

Do not attempt to connect the USB-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

WARNINGS

• The light beam emitted from the USB-ISS-UV/VIS contains

ultraviolet radiation and can cause eye damage. Always use safety
goggles when working with this product.

• DO NOT OPEN THE USB-ISS-UV/VIS. The USB-ISS-UV/VIS has

an internal high voltage power source. Dangerous voltage levels are
present, and there are no user-serviceable parts.

• The USB-ISS-UV/VIS has an internal high voltage power source.

Thus, you should not adjust the unit while it is connected to a power
source.

• 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 Cuvette

► Procedure

1. Locate the ball plunger screws (accessed on the front face of the unit and through the hole

opposite the power jack on the side of the unit).

2. Use a small flathead screwdriver to loosen the ball plunger screws until the end is visible in

the holder.
