Alignment of F ibe r O p tic Probe

09931262E

NOTE:

When the fiber optic probe is assembled to the fiber coupling module for the first time, or if the alignment

is inaccurate, i.e., the intensity is too low or saturated; you need to perform the intensity alignment as described in the following procedures.

1. Execute the Scan mode of UV Express softwar e.

2. Setup the experiment parameters as follows:

a. Accessory: Select the Fiber Optic Probe.

b. Experiment: SBW is set 2.0 nm automatically. Setup other experiment parameters as follows.

c. Lamp: Single Front is automatically selected. If not, select Single Front and setup other

experiment parameters.

3. Select Apply and OK after setting up the parameters.

4. Dip the probe in the blank solution and select the Blank icon.

09931262E

5. If the baseline measurement has abnormal results, the Fiber Optic Probe has to be aligned. Ex) Intensity is too low.

6. Loosen the three M3 setscrews on the collimator holder using a 1.5 mm wrench.

7. Move slightly back and forth the fiber optic probe connector to the light source side for the alignment, and then tighten the screw on the collimator holder.

09931262E

8. After finishing the alignment, measure baseline again to check suitability. If it is fine, measure the sample. (Maximum intensity should be over 2000 cnt.) If not, repeat the alignment procedure 1 to 7 above.
